Darnedest thing I ever heard. :donno:

They're saying it's that his name is similar to some known terrorist or something.

Hmm, let's see, what could it be......Sehnada Edwazada Khadandah or something? :D

Yes, I can see how they could be mistaken for each other.

Is it really in error or is it deliberate? Is it another Republican/Ashcroft election year dirty trick? Enquiring minds want to know

OKl, while we are at it....was it made up by Ted Kennedy to get attention? :donno:

Kerry's head on Chris Farley's body.. Classic JP :laugh:

C'mon! I doubt Chris Farley (may he R.I.P.) was ever that slim after his 2nd month in the womb.

P.S. You're not serious about that being C. Farley, are you?

Yes, that was from an old SNL skit

Lemme get this straight....you mean that was really C. Farley's body???

I can't imagine his body really looked like that. He weighed like 800 pounds, and that body is in good shape.
REAL good shape.

I do remember that he was extremely graceful, though. He could move around real good, and I remember the time they had Nancy Kerrigan on and he did a figure skating thing with her, which I think was for real.

P.S. I understand he was Canadian.

Like I said, I am pretty sure it is from an OLD SNL skit. You are thinking of the recent (huge) CF :donno:
BTW, why aren't you at the Yanks game right now?

[larchmont]

.....BTW, why aren't you at the Yanks game right now?
Power outage. :D

Talking about both the stadium and the team. :nervous:

P.S. Still skeptical that C. Farley's actual body ever looked like that.

[HondaMan]

It is C. Farley's body from a SNL skit with Patrick Swayze acting like Chippendale's. :)

Does Teddy Kennedy need any attention? Doubt it. He does not control the no-fly list the TSA does and TSA is staffed by republican appointees.

Seeing all the dirty tricks the Republicans and their 527's pulling on Kerry and Bush not coming out and openly repudiating the ads - I will not put it past them.

Well, you are the one trying to make this out to be some kind of conspiracy theory not me, especially since it involves your beloved liberal drunk Ted Kennedy. He acts like a buffoon half the time and it sure seems he is looking for attention with his antics.

Bush has repudiated these ads, but I guess since he isn't making a big deal out of it like Kerry is you think you can take a stab at him. So, what about Kerry trying to stop further publication of the Unfit to Command book? I guess that's OK for him to ignore their 1st Amendment rights and what about Kerry’s 527 groups i.e. moveon.org...etc.? The only reason Kerry is complaining about the Swift Vet’s book is he knows they are making a difference. It might be dirty politics, but they all do it and I’m not going to ignore their freedom of speech about what they saw in Vietnam. I thought you Democrats were big time 1st Amendment Rights supporters? :donno:

[bob shiftright]

I guess that's OK for him to ignore their 1st Amendment rights and what about Kerry’s 527 groups i.e. moveon.org...etc.?George Soros gives $12.6 million to anti-Bush 527s and goes long gold and oil and shorts the US Dollar (you think Soros does anything outa the goodness of his heart? Think again!) and the media establishment thinks this is just a normal, everyday thing. Some Texas Republican gives $200k to one 527 and they go nuts. Amazing. If you get Kerry, 14% unemployment and $25/gal. gasoline outa this, you can thank Soros and all the "inquisitive" reporters and reporterettes at the Noooo Yawk Times.

[larchmont]

.....Bush has repudiated these ads.....
He did?????
Is this something hot off the presses?

Last I heard, he was trying to get by with BS about not having seen them.

Which was BS even if he really hadn't seen them.

First I am a staunch independent. Lumping me with either party is near libelous. I am simply debating.

Calling Teddy K or anyone names is not becoming of a civilized debate. Let's quit doing that.

As for Bush repudiating the swift boat ads - as far as I have followed I have not heard or seen a peep directly from his mouth. If he really believes in it he should come out an say it himself. Kerry did just that when a pro Kerry 527 put out a similar anti-Bush ad. Bush campaign even maligned John McCain's war record in 2000. Same play out of the old dirty politics game book.

Yes, the swift boat ads are having an effect alright - it is successfuly detracting from debate on real policies - exactly what the Republicans want.

The country needs real debate on the policies of each of the candidates not mudslinging.

As for your statement "I thought you Democrats were big time 1st Amendment Rights supporters?" Is that an admission the Republican's are not?

Excuse me…just call’em like I see’em!

Yes sir, Mr. Debate Police! :rolleyes:

I heard Bush repudiated it while listening to the Sean Hannity Show, maybe Hannity was wrong. GWB probably didn’t direct it directly at the Swifts Vets, but was denouncing soft money groups in general.

That’s your opinion…Kerry is the one running on his Vietnam record, so it is fair game. I would be happy for them to talk more about his lack luster 20 year Senate record and him voting against just about every major military program we now use.

I agree...bring it on...I'm looking forward to some real debates.

As for your statement "I thought you Democrats were big time 1st Amendment Rights supporters?" Is that an admission the Republican's are not?
No, but thanks for putting words in my mouth…it was just an observation that Democrats are always so worried about their rights, but when someone else tries to exercise these same rights which oppose them they get upset.

Continue debating people and play nice!

George Soros gives $12.6 million to anti-Bush 527s and goes long gold and oil and shorts the US Dollar (you think Soros does anything outa the goodness of his heart? Think again!) and the media establishment thinks this is just a normal, everyday thing. Some Texas Republican gives $200k to one 527 and they go nuts. Amazing. If you get Kerry, 14% unemployment and $25/gal. gasoline outa this, you can thank Soros and all the "inquisitive" reporters and reporterettes at the Noooo Yawk Times.

Funny you mention that...I have read Soro has given over 15 million now.

Here is a good pic...you connect the dots:

Speaking of 527s...what about ACT, moveon.org, Media Fund...etc etc.

And you Democrats & "Independents" have a problem with the Swift Vets when they aren't any where close to all the liberal funded 527s! :rolleyes:

C'mon, HondaMan, please become your better self again!

I have half a mind to threaten to ban you, except for a couple of things:

(1) I'm not a moderator.
(2) You are.

Also one more thing:

(3) I like you anyhow. :D


You're being awfully hard on OWK, who's a very fine member of this board, one of our very brightest people, whose posts are invariably intelligent, interesting, and well thought out. Yes, he disagrees with your opinions quite a bit -- but he didn't give you any basis for going postal like that.


BTW thanks for clarifying what you had said about Bush supposedly repudiating those attack ads. He hasn't.

If Sean Hannity said he did, that tells us something about Sean Hannity.

As OWK also indicated, he hasn't done that. If Sean Hannity said he did, that tells us something about Sean Hannity.

Postal? Please...that wasn't bad at all IMO...sure it can be misconstrued as such, I guess I need to get off my high horse like OWK does. I know he see things like you do, so I guess you feel the need to protect him but I don't think his comments were warranted. We are not running some kind of serious presidential debate here and a little humor (be it bad or good) or offhandedness is good…within reason of course.

Like I said...play nice people...I will try as well. :)

And yeah, most of the time I don't mind Sean Hannity all that much. :D

Thanks Larch for sticking up for me. I did not take Hondaman's comments personally. It has been my observation that when there are no facts or data to back up ones position the next best action is personal attack.

As I said I am staunchly independent if someone posted pro-Kerry information that I did not agree with I would debate them as well.

Well, I'm glad you are cool with it...I was not attacking you so it shouldn't have been a big deal. I was making comments about Ted Kennedy...I don't like the guy to say the least. There is facts and I backed up my data (like I usually do)...granted it may have sounded like my opinion or biased, but you and others do it as well. Lastly, I'm looking forward to seeing you actually debate pro-Kerry information.

[O. W. Kone]

He is very highly regarded by his constitutents in MA.

[HondaMan]

He is very highly regarded by his constitutents in MA.

I have no clue why! :donno:

[larchmont]

He is very highly regarded by his constitutents in MA.
.....and by most of his Senate colleagues. It's only somewhat more than a little-known fact that he's been a very serious and effective legislator.

BTW as I've mentioned before, for some years Orrin Hatch's best personal friend in the Senate was Ted Kennedy, and as far as I know it might still be true.

And if that isn't an odd couple.......
