For obvious reasons, however, I remain profoundly suspicious of the senator’s citations of her husband’s “service.” I sure would like to see the senator give a much more credible, less vague account of her husband’s history, since she is so fond of flaunting it (I believe disingenuously) for the American public to see.

1958. Boxer made another unconventional choice when she entered Brooklyn College in 1958

1962, In her final year of college, at age 21, Barbara Levy married Stewart Boxer, another student, who was then 23.

In 1965 While her husband was completing his exams at Fordham, Boxer quit her job and relocated to San Francisco to find a house. She was seven months pregnant.

In 1967, Boxer and her husband moved to the city suburbs, buying a $40, 000 house in Marin County.

Still in 1967, Although Boxer later recalled that she was primarily concerned with her family life during that time, she and her husband opposed the war in Vietnam, and felt strongly enough about their position to take part in a peace march

In 1970 she oversaw publicity for a campaign to put a peace initiative on the ballot, which, surprisingly, carried the day.

No mention at all about her husband ever being in the military.

No 4 year “unaccounted for time” that he could have been in the military.

He could have been in the military 1958 – 1962 but there is no mention of it anywhere.

Why?

“some ignorant jigaboo up there,”

-
Holy crap… This is real. It looks so… Saul Alinsky… Time to use the play book as written I guess. Boxer needs to explain, after she is isolated though.

I see what you did there….

Does he not understand that, with the passage of the Great Society programs, he became a ward of the state. He was bought. And he has no business

not
staying
bought.

DSchoen, I noticed that too. I have found no evidence whatsoever that the unfortunate Mr. Barbara Boxer has ever seen the inside of a uniform. Too busy protesting things and pursing left-wing causes. I am hoping that somebody is able to investigate this, and if it is true that he is not a veteran, expose Sen. Boxer as a liar.

Sad part is that the kossacks and others will probably rally to Boxer and start a smear campaign against Mr. Alford, without any downside to them.

This is how Huff Po spins it.

Think Progress also decided to take a swipe at Mr. Alford.
Institute for America’s Future blasted Alford.

Firedoglake and Kos won’t even touch this story. I guess if they ignore it then it never happened.

Is that her veteran husband who’s never been in the US military?

OK, fine. Boxer’s a racist. Most liberals are.

But this guy belongs to the Black Chamber of Commerce.

It’s rich to hear someone who heads an organization devoted to a single race of people call someone else a racist.

Now THAT’s a big AMEN, bro!!

Three witches of the West

And now, we take you over to Ollie Williams, with the Black-u-Weather Consequences Forecast for Barbara Boxer? What say you of her political career, Ollie?

SHE GONNA GET VOTED OUT!

Thank you, Ollie.

The democrats’ playbook has always been whatever you do blame the other party first and your good to go. This is true of racism. I still don’t understand why minorities give the Dem’s blind support when all they get in return are empty promises and condescension,

It’s not just blacks its in fact anyone who votes for them to begin with. Those that do vote are not engaged in the issues of the day so they step into the political world assuming that they can grasp all the concepts, place their vote because everyone else is doing it and proceed to shoot themselves in the foot.

Apparently after so many times in favor to the liberals they cannot bring themselves to the realization that their allegiance has been in error. BHO ascension is proof positive of this aforementioned phenomenon. Most American Africans voted for him because of identity politics and the white Anglos did so because of novelty. None cared to listen to what was being said just it’s delivery.

We’re in deep doo-doo now. We have to see if those that voted for them will be disgusted that the Dems just flushed their only chance at success down the crapper.
