Will the Right Wing Swift Boat Tammy Duckworth

[Monkeyman]

Tammy now head of Veterans Affairs IL. husband has been called up for Iraq. Tammy is still Anti-War all the way. So what I saw in some of the comments in the Chicago Tribune she is about to get swift boated. Why can we not do the same to them? Are we to nice? I know as soon as it is posted in the Tribune Swamp I will fight for her all the way. But its not just Tammy when are we going to say enough to the Swift boat tactic and do the same. Or are we and I just don't see or hear it. Just asking. We shall see she is on MSNBC shows Feb 16th.

1. Why would she be swiftboated if she's not running for anything now?

4. She will run again Veterans Affairs in IL is a stepping stone

2. The republic owned media won't say anything

negative about their own. They repeat anything - true or not - that is negative and even add their own if it is about democrats.

What's holding Kunich up, he said he was going to introduce that Fairness Doctrine. If he does...anything they have a republic on a democrat has to get the same time.

3. VFW sent me the usual envelope for a donation right after the last election.

I wrote them that I'd continue to donate after I got an explanation why they endorsed a non-veteran candidate over a recently war wounded Tammy Duckworth.

They never responded, but I have recieved another solicitation to donate.

during the primary.

6. Do you know by who

I backed her 110 percent

9. some Christine Cegelis supporters

were lamenting Duckworth's candidacy with the usual DLC/Rahm Emanuel epithets. More specific info available in the archives, but I think you get the gist of some of these conversations here.

7. It takes $$$$ to 'swiftboat' someone.

W/ populist dems the corporate $$$$ are not to be found easily.

8. I know we saw allot of money from the PDA going to the other person running

But I did not see them swift boat her. We made them pull our so-called endorsement for the other person. We did not give it to her. We where the one of the few Vets Groups that stood behind her.And we will again when she take's Roskam on again so will Vet Pac
