Right now the Democrats have the news media microphones pretty much to themselves. They have an interesting horse race going in their primary elections with no corresponding news-generating events on the Republican side. So they are pretty much free to throw outlandish slander out there unopposed. Such as this week's flurry of innuendo's and allegations that Bush was a "deserter" during his time in the National Guard.
Wrong. Unproven. Scandalous. Outrageous. But unopposed.
I'll say this: I served both on active duty (U.S. Air Force, 1983-1992 during Desert Storm stateside) and in the Illinois Air National Guard (1992 - 1994, WG-12/TSgt). And my experience was that I was more exposed to being depolyed overseas into a hostile area in the Guard than I was on active duty. Anyone who knows anything about the total military component knows not to denigrate the service of guardsmen. They serve and are subject to sacrifice.
Not that most Democratic primary elites know that. It's just another symptom of that party's loating of the military. It's disgusting.
I sayto the Democrats: keep serving that up in the fall election season. The American people won't stand for you calling the Commander in Chief a "deserter" when you're sharing the microphone.
