Bud Day...Yeah, I Heard McCain Tell The Cross In The Dirt Story In 1970/71

Col. Bud Day is a former POW and a recipient of the Medal of Honor. If you haven't heard of him take a few minutes to look him up. You remember all those "Cool Facts About Chuck Norris" jokes? Well, if you insert Bud Day's name in them, they aren't funny because they don't do justice to how tough and dedicated to the defense of our country the guy is.

John Miller of National Review Online talked to Col. Day and asked him about the story.

So I asked: When was the first time you heard McCain tell this story? His response: "I heard that story in 1970, 1971—back in that time frame. Anybody who says it's not true is full of..." Here he used some salty language.

Since this is Ace of Spades and not NRO I'll take a shot at filling in the missing word...shit. He's absolutely right, they are full of shit and blinding adoration for Obama but mostly...well actually my guess is the shit and adoration are equally mixed.

I debated whether this was a post or a headline but I think it's worth a post simply because assholes, like 2nd rate Kos diarist Andrew Sullivan, shouldn't have the loudest megaphones in this dust up.

I look forward to the appologies that are sure to flow from the leftards who were only 'asking questions'.

How long before the left accuses Bud Day of being a commie double agent, wife beater, child molester, and hobo killer?

2 Oh no, you see, Bud Day supported the Swift Boat vets - ergo, he is the enemy of all hope and change.

Sure, he got some medals or something, but this is hope and change he could be interfering with. There's no need to respect some old guy who would dare oppose them.

Bud Day--Actual real live American hero just like John McCain.

In the other corner, excitable Andy, Barack Obama and William Ayers.

Satire is not supposed to write itself.

There is no better illustration of how screwed up the moral judgement of the nation has become than, the fact that the O-gang has any chance in this election and has earned the D nomination.

Any bets?

How does Andrew Sullivan still have a job?

Posted by: IreneFingIrene at August 21, 2008 12:07 PM (QcPNi)

For fuck's sake, Christians have been scrawling either the cross or the sign of the fish into the dirt to identify one another since ancient Roman times. Yes, I'm sure Sohlzinetsyn's story and McCain's story are both true.

Sullivan's a douche.

10 Anybody who says it's not true is full of..." Here he used some salty language.

And you think it's "shit"? Since when is shit "salty"?

I think he said full of the devil's own spooge dripping out their asses.

See, much more salty, and the sort of thing they aren't going to print at NRO.

Just my guess, but I think I'm pretty close on this one.

You say that like it's a bad thing.

17 Day's book, Return with Honor, is out of print, but it's a great book.

Definitely not for the squeamish, though. I have no idea how so many of our guys survived under those conditions.

I have some relatives who know Col Day, and they say he's a great guy, besides having one of the most admirable service records in modern US history.

None of which makes a good goddam to the hysterical nitwits who support The One.

20 I watched liberals defend Ayers and Obama on H&C on Fox. There is no low liberals won't stoop to. It's just a matter of minutes until they attempt to run Bud Day into the ground.
