Dear Senator Kerry:
Your history of slandering and ignoring us veterans remains unbroken by any episodes of honesty or honor. You use us only for your personal political gain and to help cement your support among the Starbucks Marxists who continue to be the foundation of your ever shrinking political base.
And now comes today’s shameful attack upon we vets and the president. I did not think it possible for you to sink deeper than you did in 1971, when, during the fraudulent “Winter Soldier Investigation,” you called us Vietnam vets rapists, baby killers, and mass murderers. You knew these charges were lies but used them carefully and maliciously to help yourself at the expense of fellow veterans and of the country. One of my greatest sources of pride is that we Vietnam vets helped defeat your presidential run in 2004. You are the living embodiment of the legendary Navy fitness report that states, “This officer’s performance started in a hole and he has continued to dig.”
Your claim today on Veterans Day, 2005, that President Bush’s speech “dishonored America’s veterans by playing the politics of fear and smear on Veterans Day” is yet another lie aimed only at hurting the president while attempting to somehow whiten your shabby, soiled reputation – a well-earned reputation far beyond any cleaning. Your ability to lie for self-aggrandizement is boundless. It was you who so viciously slandered my shipmates and me when it suited your twisted political ambitions. Now, you berate the president for ‘not honoring our men and women in uniform by not having a clear strategy for success in Iraq.’ You are utterly without honor, Sir. After having voiced support for the Iraq War because you felt it would help you win the presidency (or maybe not – did you vote for it before you voted against it or the other way around?), you now fault President Bush for having continued this noble effort while you and your Leftist colleagues shrill from the sidelines while giving aid and comfort to international terrorism. You claim that the president “misled the nation into war” by acting upon the same intelligence you had that stated that Iraq presented a clear and present danger to the USA and its allies. More shame on you, Senator. And “that’s why Scooter Libby was indicted”? That’s just plain incoherent and typical of your rhetoric. Two thousand Americans dead? Yes, 2,000 volunteers, none of whom who – unlike you -- gamed the system to run away after four months and numerous questionable awards, abandoning your men and then turning-around and slandering them for political and personal gain.
After the way you lied and dishonored your shipmates in 1971 you are the last person to be complaining about dishonoring America’s servicemen. Your meeting with the enemy in France in 1971 should have earned you dismissal from the Navy (you were still a Naval Reserve Officer at the time) and a stiff prison sentence. Three hundred and twenty one days ago you promised the American public the release of your entire service record. We’re still waiting. I don’t blame you for wanting to hide your original 1972 Navy discharge “under other than honorable conditions” (not the re-do President Carter gave you in 1978 as a personal favor so you could run for office as a Democrat). You remain a pitiful man, with no moral rudder, abetted by situational morality, whose only driving force is one for personal power and wealth, who will sacrifice anyone and anything toward that end. Shame on you and the rest of the Massachusetts Congressional Embarrassment.
Notice how the prick did not deny the presidents charge, he simply changed the subject.
I saw him on the news and I just wanted to punch him. He really is shameless and such a loser. A poor one at that.
Thanks for posting.
Kerry is an idiot. He needs to go live in France since he can speak their lingo so well. Maybe he can get elected over there and solve their mooselimb situation.
I was so happy to see kerry defeated. We dont want him to come 'round here no mo' ......scat!
I missed kerry's response. I take it that kerry somehow brought in Scooter Libby into the fray?
Can you guys give me the actual link and/or quote?
If Kerry were capable of shame, he'd never show his face again.
Kerry is a sociopath, i.e., he has no conscience. He is not capable of shame.
Hope I outlive this worm so I can piss on his grave.
Thanks for putting into words what the majority of us Navy Viet Nam Vets would like to tell that slimeball. Good Job.
If dueling was legal today Kerry would be dead because there would be so many vets who want his smelly hide. I know many vets and their feelings about him are beyond hatred.
26 year Navy Pilot, flew in Vietnam and can't stand this jerk. Trust me, I did not feel dishonered by President Bush. I feel more dishonered that a coward like this Prince can serve in the US Senate. WE NEED TERM LIMITS!!!
Kerry doesn't have the ability to feel shame- no dedicated leftists do. It's part of their disease. For people like Kerry and his ilk, it's the ENDS that count- not the means.
The greatest danger we face is not foreign terrorism, but rather, our own home grown traitors on the left.
"We urge you, after consulting with Congress and consistent with the US Constitution and laws, to take necessary actions, including, if appropriate, air and missile strikes on suspect Iraqi sites to respond effectively to the threat posed by Iraq's refusal to end its weapons of mass destruction programs."
John Kerry January 23, 2003... "Without question we need to disarm Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal, murderous dictator leading an impressive regime. He presents a particularly grievous threat because he is so consistently prone to miscalculation. And now he's miscalculating America's response to his continued deceit and his consistent grasp for weapons of mass destruction. His consistent grasp for weapons of mass destruction."
John Kerry October 9, 2002... "I will be voting to give the president of the US the authority to use force if necessary to disarm Saddam because I believe that a deadly arsenal of weapons of mass destruction in his hands is a real and grave threat to our security."
John Kerry January 31, 2003... "If you don't believe...Saddam Hussein is a threat with nuclear weapons, then you shouldn't vote for me."
John Kerry February 23, 1998 "Saddam Hussein has already used these weapons and has made it clear that he has the intent to continue to try, by virtue of his duplicity and secrecy, to continue to do so. That is a threat to the stability of the Middle East. It is a threat with respect to the potential of terrorist activities on a global basis. It is a threat even to regions near but not exactly in the Middle East."
"it is deeply irresponsible to rewrite the history of how that war began." "The stakes in the global War on Terror ... are too high for the politicians to throw out false charges. "These baseless attacks send the wrong signal to our troops and to an ememy that is questioning America's will."....President George Bush.
John Kerry and the rest of the coldly deliberate and certifiably treasonous left/socialists are going to pay for their anti-Americanism rhetoric. You will read little about it in the MSM but you can find it here almost daily on America's best read Conservative Newspaper, FREE REBUBLIC!
Starbucks Marxists
Sandalistas
Birkenstock Bolsheviks
Belated Happy Veteran's Day.
I continue to hold John Kerry in utter contempt for his scorn of our men and women in uniform.
His Winter Soldier actions should have been treasonous, and that poor bastard should be sitting in Leavenworth.
Instead the ingrate sits in a high office. Instead of bowing and scraping before the American people on a day to day basis because of his dishonorable actions, he continues to impugne the mission of the Armed Forces.
Those who believe in this guy have no sense of history, and or are not doing their homework as to who this impostor really is.
Semper fi!
How about a little napalm for added effect.
Won't that burn on the way out? :-) LOL!
Libtard is my personal favorite. : )
