------- Partial Transcript ------

COLBERT: "No bastard ever won a war by dying for his country, he won it by standing behind his president.  All this bull you anti-war vets have been saying about ending the war is just a bunch of horse dung.  All real Americans love the sting of battle.  And veterans, you should love it more than anyone else.  You hold a unique position in society.  You've lived through the horrors of war.  That's why you have a special responsibility to be for it."

Absolutely hilarious!  This is the only strategy that Karl Rove, Ken Mehlman and Frank Luntz can go on when it comes to campaigning against these war vet Democrats.  If they try to do what they did to Max Cleland in 2002 or John Kerry in 2004, it will backfire.
