Okay, if you’re going to call your blog Anti-Media and have your tagline as, “Dedicated to exposing what the media lies about, what they won’t tell you and what they don’t want you to hear,” it doesn’t help to make stupid mistakes like this,
According to Tom Maguire, an internet researcher has uncovered an AP article from 1992 in which Kerry claims to have served six months in Vietnam instead of four. . .
But for Kerry, who spent six violent months commanding a patrol boat on the Mekong River, there’s always been a ring of truth to allegations of abandoned Americans. By Christmas 1968, part of Kerry’s patrol extended across the border of South Vietnam into Cambodia . . . .
Kerry, of course, never says that he spent six months in Vietnam — that statement is made by the Associated Press reporter without any sort of attribution by Kerry or anyone else.
This blogger aptly titles his post “Beware the Internet”, to which he should have appended “Because I’ve got to get this post out now and I don’t have time to actually read the excerpt I’m quoting.”
As most of my regular readers know, I’m no fan of Kerry and if I actually get off my lazy ass to vote this year, it will probably be for Bush, but a lot of the anti-Kerry stuff is beginning to mirror the absurdities of some of the anti-Bush stuff.
