Kerry says Special Forces Lt. Jim Rassmann fell out of boat
Congressional Record on January 28, 1998

Posted on 08/26/2004 6:14:10 PM PDT by vanburen

John Kerry placed in the Congressional Record on January 28, 1998 the eulogy he gave (apparently) at the funeral of a former swiftboat companion. He describes what could be an entirely different version of the Rassmann falling in the river/mine exploding story.

I don't think Kerry has ever told the same tale twice. If you don't tell the truth consistently, it's hard to keep track of the lies.

He literally had swear words with tracers

Does this boy know what "literally" means?

(That was a rhetorical question...snicker.)

2 feet in the air? Could that propel a doggie into another boat?

JF'nK is believing his battle report.

And notice that the mine is described as going off under "our boat"...

This guy Kerry can't keep his lies straight. He needs lessons from WJC, the master liar.

If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember so much. This is clearly Kerry's problem.

One thing I've learned in my 35 years of sailing starboard is to the right. If you are on the right side of a river it's not a good idea to make a high speed right hand turn.

The only mine that day was the one which hit the #3 boat. What tossed Kerry's boat 2 feet into the air was him hitting the fishing weir at full throttle while in a panic stricken attempt to flee the area.

We need to put all of these versions together and compare them. Add to it Rassman's version.

I got this SWIFT BOAT VETERANS FOR TRUTH EXPOSE KERRY'S FRAUD sticker on my truck the other day. The next day on the way to work and back I got lots of honks and 'thumbs up'!

The sticker serves 2 purposes:
1 - Shows visible support for "Swift Boat Veterans For Truth" to passing motorists
2 - Gets the swiftvets.com website visible to the public, so they can and find out more about 'Hanoi John' Kerry

Made by fellow FReeper disabled vet who has a bone to pick with Kerry, like we all do!
Large (24" Wide 12" Tall) like mine
Small (12" Wide 6" Tall)
Profits go to SwiftVets.com

FReep mail for details.

I've lost count on how many version there are, have you been keeping up?

Jim, look at this one!

All this time I thought it was "Heinz 57 Varieties." I didn't know it was "Heinz 57 VERSIONS."

A starboard turn during that incident would have landed them directly on shore... see WaPo's graphic of the incident...

AND WHERE ARE THE BULLET HOLES from all of the incoming fire? (rhetorical question of course... we all know there was no enemy fire)
