Scooter Libby....American Hero....(gag)
After our forces had withdraw from Vietnam, the South Vietnamese held their own for several years against the North Vietnamese forces attempting to conquer them. Then in 1975, the vile animals controlling
From the RW blog http://www.randomjottings.net/archives/001906.html


Congress (who, with grotesque irony, called themselves "Democrats") cut off the military aid the Vietnamese were depending on, and thus betrayed them to Communist conquest and tyranny, under which they suffer to this day.

There were still a handful of Americans in South Vietnam, and one of the last to leave was Scooter Libby.

And his final mind-boggling deed, was, utterly without any authorization or help or permission, to organize a fleet of rusty ships, and take 20,000 Vietnamese to the Philippines! They were mostly military personnel and their families; people who would have been doomed to execution, or to the hell of the "re-education camps."

Scooter Libby is a hero of freedom, and this amazing exploit was a tiny ray of light in one of the darkest and most evil hours of our history. For that we all owe him our deep gratitude. And if he has committed any crime ( I don't think he has) he deserves a pardon and a vote of thanks...

ONE QUESTION: Is this 'slow-boating" if it's the opposite of swiftboating???

:rofl:

3. Is this before or after Libby ceased to be a democrat and joined the fold?
Listen to the whiny pants writer. Nobody is even trying to Swiftboat Libby. Oh wait. Only Pukes do that to dems. Like Max Cleland and John Kerry. But did I not hear that ScootIRV was a democrat who went over to the dark side? Is he a dem in puke clothing? Was he a dem then? Gawd who do I attack? How? All that "thinkun" musta been some hard work for the puke that put forth this schlock-filled bit of Puke masterbatory material.

6. Libby is a chickenhawk...
Libby was in Yale in 1972 and graduated Columbia Law School in 1975....wonder when he had time for this bit of derring-do?

12. Any time...
The astonishing thing to me is that I bet a bunch of the right wing loonies dumb enough to believe "Scooter Libby was a war time hero" are also simultaneously chanting "Scooter was an anti-war Democrat."

10. Exactly, Mr. B! Libby is a chicken-hawk to the core.
Name: I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby
Born: 1950±
Employer: The U.S. Taxpayer
Conflict Avoided: Vietnam
Notes: I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby is Dick Cheney’s Chief of Staff. He’s had a string of no-doubt well-paying government jobs in State and Defense. He’s also practiced law. In fact, he was Marc Rich’s lawyer for years. Yes — the Marc Rich whose pardon from President Clinton was excoriated by so many high and mighty Republicans. Maybe if Scooter had been a better lawyer, his client wouldn’t have needed that pardon. Speaking of legal questions, “Scooter” is alleged by some to have traded energy stocks while helping his buddy Dick Cheney cook up a new energy policy in secret. He’s also suspected of having inserted the bogus “Niger yellowcake” reference into the President’s State of the Union address. As if all that weren’t enough, he’s also a top suspect in the outing of CIA operative Valeria Plame. Clearly “Scooter” is a ballsy kind of guy, so it’s a complete mystery to us why, when he graduated from Phillips Andover in 1968, he didn’t enlist in the Marines or go Airborne instead of going to Yale.

11. Yeah, but wasn't his Far East Adventure exciting?
Makes me nostalgic for the old "Terry and the Pirates" strip...except that Terry and the Pirates was much more plausible.

Next up, an account of how Scooter rescued a princess and had a scimitar fight with an evil caliph!

7. 'Pukes want to do ANYTHING and still get a free pass
To fools like this Bush-cultist, Junior could machine-gun a row of pre-schoolers on live television and the cultists would say that he did the right thing and the kids deserved it.

The monster that was created in 2000 is going to take a lot to slay......
