Insanity, that is what. Insane hatred! And the one good piece of advice that Clinton gives them, they pointedly ignore.

NC TO LAUNCH FRESH ATTACK ON BUSH GUARD DUTY: WILL RAISE QUESTIONS ABOUT 1978 CAMPAIGN LIT
**Exclusive**
Faster than a CBS eye can blink, dogged Dems are set to take to the airwaves anew hoping to keep questions about President Bush's National Guard duty in play, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.
Candidate Kerry apparently has rejected former President Clinton's advice not to get further locked in a 2004 Vietnam quagmire.
"George W. Bush's campaign literature claimed that he 'served in the U.S. Air Force.' The only problem? He didn't," slams a new DNC press release set for distribution.
Dems will attempt to increase the heat on Bush ahead of his planned Tuesday address before The National Guard Association gathering in Las Vegas.
In 2000, Bush opened his National Guard Association speech: "General, I am reporting for duty."

Kerry plans to speak to the group on Thursday, but he personally hold back questioning Bush's service, sources explain.
The coordinated nationwide effort this week by the DNC has been code-named "Operation Fortunate Son."
"George Bush has a clear pattern of lying about his military service," DNC Communications Director Jano Cabrera blasts in the new release. "From 1978 to the present day, George Bush has refused to tell voters the truth about his service. It's time for the President to come clean."
"Flyers distributed to Texas voters during Bush's failed Congressional race say 'he served in the U.S. Air Force and the Texas Air National Guard.' But according to Air Force officials, Air National Guardsmen are not counted as members of the active-duty Air Force."

This active duty status thing is a fart in a hurricane thing. When I was on active duty, there were NG(National Guard), ER(Enlisted Reserve), ER(draft personnel), and RA(Regular Army). They were all on active duty, and for all intents and purposes, while active, there wasn't a dimes worth of difference between them. Although I was technically in the Active Reserve, I was still active duty Army.
To make an issue out of a nonissue, is amazing in that if this is all there is, why aren't they addressing the issues? Could it be because the issues will also sink JFK, the lesser?
This has simply got to be Clinton's use of 'reverse psychology' here. Tell them to do something, and get your 'boy' Terry McAufull to help torpedo kerry.
I am truly mystified here. So, don't anyone tell me that the Clintons are not actively saboutaging the Kerry campaign. Jeez!
PS: This will further enhance Clinton when Kerry loses. He can shrug his shoulders, and state "I told him so". And all the time the Dems were doing exactly what he really wanted.
