NEAL BOORTZ BLOG... LIES OF THE DEMOCRATS

It's been a long time since I surf blogs outside of my blogroll, but I was visiting a couple of my favorite blogs and decided to check out their lists. I came across Neal Boortz's blog, who is a radio talk show host. He had a couple good posts some of the lies that the Dems are spinning in response to the criticism on Kerry's military record and public statements:

The Kerry crowd is running an ad that says that George Bush used his father to get into the Texas Air National Guard during the Vietnam war. Just so you know, there is no record anywhere of any interference by or influence brought to bear by Bush the Elder in Bush the Younger's acceptance into the guard. Not that you leftists care.

Earlier this week Iowa Democratic Senator Tom Harkin called Vice President Dick Cheney a "coward" for not serving in Vietnam. In the past Harkin has bragged about his own status as a Vietnam Veteran. Harkin told the media that he flew combat air patrols in Vietnam for a year. Well ... big uh oh. It seems that Harkin was lying. (Big surprise). It turns out that Harkin was actually stationed in Japan and his flying duties consisted of ferrying aircraft to the Philippines from Japan to be repaired. When Harkin's lie was exposed he started calling himself a "Vietnam Era Vet." He still hasn't explained the lie about the combat air patrols. And this is the guy the Democrats send out to call Cheney a "coward?" (full post)

UPDATE: More on Harkin from Instapundit! Lots of great stuff.

TOM HARKIN, FAKE WAR HERO: In an update to an earlier post, I noted some comments by Donald Sensing about Sen. Tom Harkin, most recently seen attacking the patriotism of Dick Cheney. Sensing observed: "Harkin himself claimed to have battled Mig fighters over North Vietnam while a Navy pilot. He was a pilot, but never went to Vietnam."
