Kerry was a phony then and now. I don't know what else you'd call a person who makes a show of throwing his legitmately earned medals over the White House fence in protest in front of the press when in reality he did no such thing. He, apparently, valued his medals enough to hold onto them and throw away some he borrowed. Yet, he allowed that act to stand as one of truth until it suited his political career to fess up.

Actually, rather than a cudgel, this appears to be a home-town 'homage'. Among the wacked liberals, being on the Nixon 'Enemies List' was considered the penultimate sign of having 'arrived'. A sure stamp of approval among fellow liberals. So this would not be a part of the Clinton's attack. You will know it when they attack.

Some great data here.

Do you have the url site for this and where it came from. We need to save this and document it on a server where it will not be erased.

More....here is another .."America bad,America bad"...John Kerry ..Maya Culpa....POW/MIA [can't put words here..want the post to remain]..Vietnam/Laos tour.

Kerry is a disgrace to the uniform....and a compliant participant in Communist games.

Sen. Kerry Tours Vietnam

EXCERPT:

Testimony by Michael D. Benge
February 10, 1994

When Senator John Kerry visited the area of a prison in Southern Vietnam in April, 1992, Vietnamese officials told him that no Americans had ever been held there. Several months later, an American detainee was secretly released by the Vietnamese, who reported that one day prior to the Senator's arrival, he was moved from the prison, and returned two days after the Senator departed.

Although the American detainee wasn't a POW from the war, it proves my point -- THE VIETNAMESE COMMUNIST OFFICIALS ARE PATHOLOGICAL LIARS. Anyone who thinks that the Vietnamese are being truthful and "cooperating" is either a fool or has other motivations.

Resolution of live sighting reports by JTFFA is a moribund joke. The names and locations of all witnesses are given far in advance to the draconian Vietnamese communists, along with all available information in U.S. files. Therefore, witnesses are "prepared" prior to the arrival of JTFFA personnel. Interviews are conducted in the presence of a communist Vietnamese Public Safety representative. ALL WITNESSES ARE SUBJECT TO INTIMIDATION.

I have access to, and will make available for joint viewing, a CINPAC video-tape given to me in confidentiality that was made at the Vietnamese Presidential Palace during Senator John Kerry's December 1992 visit. In his meeting with Vietnamese President Le Duc Anh, Kerry assured him that as with the POW pictures, the U.S. Government won't release anything to the public that would embarrass the communist officials. He also told Anh that in order to get the trade embargo lifted, all Hanoi had to do is show that there was a process for accounting. Was he relaying a message from then President- elect Clinton? Surely, Kerry was de facto setting policy and undermining Clinton's campaign promise that there would have to be a full accounting before he would approve lifting the trade embargo on Vietnam. At the same meeting, Kerry also told Anh that Laotian leaders told him on numerous occasions that they had no information on POWs for Hanoi controlled all the POWs and all information on them. There are about 550 Americans missing in Laos, and of these, approximately 80% of these men are missing in territory that was under the total control of Hanoi.

Nixon had a lot more sense than history gives him credit for. Here's another good example.
