John Liberal Communist Traitor Waffle-freak Kerry
Kerry the Liberal Communist RAT BTTT
From an article that has since been removed:Kerry versus Bush: Who Really Went AWOL?
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1074196/postsIn 1971, John Kerry became a leader of the Vietnam Veterans Against the War protest group. Kerry testified to Congress that Americans in Vietnam had "personally raped, cut off ears, cut off heads, taped wires from portable telephones to human genitals and turned up the power, cut off limbs, blown up bodies, randomly shot at civilians, razed villages, shot cattle and dogs for fun, poisoned food stocks, and generally ravaged the countryside of South Vietnam." Kerry testified, "We all did it." He said his claims were "not isolated incidents but crimes committed on a day-to-day basis with the full awareness of officers at all levels of command."
His awful allegations of fellow veterans being war criminals was based on trumped on stories. B.G. Burkett points out in his book "Stolen Valor" that Kerry used phony veterans to testify to atrocities they could not possibly have committed. Kerry had engaged in defamation and slander against the military.
Kerry's war service was a stage prop to garner attention to his anti-war activism, and it was a useful shield to deflect criticism of how damaging his words and actions were to others who served in the military. Kerry even suborned his own medals as props for political theater. Kerry threw what appeared to be his medals over a fence in front of the Capitol building in protest, on camera, but years later his medals turned up displayed on his office wall when medals became something to be proud of again.
We also need to ask this, given Senator Kerry's long record of questionable views on national security, defense, intelligence, and his nonchalant view that terrorist threats are exaggerated: Who really is the one who went AWOL?
Ted Sampley has his own answer to that: "I have personally dealt with John Kerry on the issue of US POWs left behind in Vietnam. Kerry is not truthful and is not worthy of the support of US.
