MIDI - LUCY IN THE SKY WITH DIAMONDS
How many soldiers were killed and were tortured because Hanoi Jane protested the war
How many suffered when foes were emboldened by John Effin Kerry, the whore
Hippies and maggots did damage indeed...hating the land of the free
Look at the photos and this is what you're gonna see
Hero Effin Kerry turned traitor...hero Effin Kerry turned traitor....hero Effin Kerry turned traitor... ahhhhhh
Picture yourself in a boat on a river...with commie guns blazing as you duck your head
You know protestors are marching and screaming...you wonder if they want you dead
Hippies and maggots did damage indeed...hating the land of the free
Look at the photos and this is what you're gonna see
Hero Effin Kerry turned traitor...hero Effin Kerry turned traitor....hero Effin Kerry turned traitor... ahhhhhh
He brought to Congress more traitors and liars...with stories of war crimes that just should not be
Now we find out they were not even soldiers...it merely was John's fantasy
Hero Effin Kerry turned traitor...hero Effin Kerry turned traitor....hero Effin Kerry turned traitor... ahhhhhh
Hero Effin Kerry turned traitor...hero Effin Kerry turned traitor....hero Effin Kerry turned traitor... ahhhhhh
Hero Effin Kerry turned traitor...(fade out)
In any event, you're on a roll!
We don't need to US-smearin', dictator-scum lovin', CIA-killin', wife-cheatin', botox usin' special interest scumbag like Hanoi John Kerry to lead the war on terror (after all, he just said, the threat of terrorism is exaggerated)
I was inspired to write three songs today after that ridiculous news conference yesterday. At a DFU news conference I would have challenged the press to write stories about Kerry and would have shown them were to go to get them. The story is not National Guard service. The story is about a great commander in chief compared to someone who votes down major weapons systems, hurt our soldiers during the VietNam war, hurts our soldiers now, emboldens the enemy, voted against Gulf War I, and cannot be trusted to lead the nation against an enemy who wants to end our civilization. That is the story.
(Taken from The Wall Street Journal, Thursday August 3, 1995)
What did the North Vietnamese leadership think of the American antiwar movement? What was the purpose of the Tet Offensive? How could the U.S. have been more successful in fighting the Vietnam War? Bui Tin, a former colonel in the North Vietnamese army, answers these questions in the following excerpts from an interview conducted by Stephen Young, a Minnesota attorney and human-rights activist. Bui Tin, who served on the general staff of North Vietnam's army, received the unconditional surrender of South Vietnam on April 30, 1975. He later became editor of the People's Daily, the official newspaper of Vietnam. He now lives in Paris, where he immigrated after becoming disillusioned with the fruits of Vietnamese communism.
Q: Was the American antiwar movement important to Hanoi's victory?
A: It was essential to our strategy. Support of the war from our rear was completely secure while the American rear was vulnerable. Every day our leadership would listen to world news over the radio at 9 a.m. to follow the growth of the American antiwar movement. Visits to Hanoi by people like Jane Fonda, and former Attorney General Ramsey Clark and ministers gave us confidence that we should hold on in the face of battlefield reverses. We were elated when Jane Fonda, wearing a red Vietnamese dress, said at a press conference that she was ashamed of American actions in the war and that she would struggle along with us.
Q: Did the Politburo pay attention to these visits?
A: Keenly.
Q: Why?
A: Those people represented the conscience of America. The conscience of America was part of its war-making capability, and we were turning that power in our favor. America lost because of its democracy; through dissent and protest it lost the ability to mobilize a will to win.
