Quoted from the Washington Post's op-ed pages:

"Our Second Civil War

By Richard Holbrooke
Saturday, August 28, 2004; Page A25

"Americans under 40 can be excused if they think that the presidential campaign went a bit nuts recently. After all, why has campaign coverage been dominated by a war that ended 29 years ago, even as a dozen Americans were dying and more than 130,000 fighting in Iraq?"

It's the character issue, STUPID!

Kerry
- lied about other people to build a political career,
- he killed civilians to look good for the history books,
- and he lied about his country in order to make it possible for Southeast Asian dictators to murder 1.5 million people after the United States left the region. John Kerry was the Khmer Rouge's best friend.

It's our turn to shout, spam USENET, and wave placards with the simple message:

KERRY LIED, PEOPLE DIED! KERRY LIED, PEOPLE DIED!

Kerry's lack of a conscience got a million and a half people killed. More than died in Iraq.

Ambassador Holbrooke, your side of the (gasp!!!) "Second Civil War" is the side that doesn't care about character, integrity, or our country or Kerry would have gotten the same reception George Wallace got when he tried to run Democratic in 1968.

To quote Joseph Welch at the Army-McCarthy hearings, (imagine theatrical vocal flourishes and vacuum tube noise in the background),

"Sir, have - you - no - shame?"

And the answer is, Ambassador Holbrooke, that your party has none at all. The leadership of the national Democratic Party are unprincipled hypocrites who will stop at nothing to put one of their sort into the White House.
