He was one of the "band of brothers"--Swift Boat veterans who supported John Kerry's presidential campaign and appeared onstage at the 2004 Democratic National Convention.

Were there others? I thought Sanders was the only Swift Boat veteran (serving with Kerry) that supported Kerry.

Remember Wade Sanders? He was one of the “band of brothers”

I thought his name sounded a little more familiar than a former sec. of the Navy during the Clinton administration.

“Research”, huh?

Where have I heard that before?

Oh, yeah! Bernie Ward.

Pete Townshend also.

Not surprising. Kerry also had James Michael McHaney on his campaign team in 2004. He was later arrested for trying to rape a ten year old boy.

“schadenfreude” is a German word which describes
the enjoyment of other people’s suffering.

My bad, it was a 13 year old boy.

Ex-Navy official Wade Sanders pleads guilty in child porn case

"..Sanders, 67, of San Diego, had more than 600 images of child pornography on his computer, including a 21-minute video showing "pre-pubescent females" having sexual contact with an adult male, the U.S. attorney's office said.

Sanders, a lawyer, is a retired Navy captain who received the Bronze Star, Silver Star and Purple Heart for service as a swift-boat captain in the Vietnam War. He faces a possible 10 years in prison and $250,000 fine when sentenced March 30.

Under a plea bargain, prosecutors have agreed to recommend a prison sentence of five to six years..."

I believe Pete Townsend also used the research defense.

I caught this blurb on the news, but there was nothing said about Kerry, the Swift Boat Veterans, Democrats, or the election. Just a former Clinton staffer.

So I totally missed the name connection. Which is what the press wanted.

Amazing.

"....Which is what the press wanted."

Bet the rent on that.

I hate John Kerry but surely having to listen to his wife’s accent for the rest of his life and eternity if his religion has it right— is punishment enough.

Wade Sanders and John Kerry told awful lies about W. Sanders being a child porn researcher in zero way indicates that Kerry too is a child porn researcher. Although when tossed into the mix it more adds to the likelihood than it does to the unlikelihood. Maybe Theresa, his wife, is interested in child porn research, I have no way of ruling it out.

No, there were something like 3 or 5...another one was Jim Wasser, a lying union hack here in Illinois.
