(ZOT!!!) Not ONE SINGLE MEMBER of Swift Boat Vets Against Kerry actually served on his boat.

Not a SINGLE MEMBER OF SWIFT BOAT VETS AGAINST KERRY ACTUALLY SERVED ON HIS BOAT WITH HIM.

That is why the Swift Boat Vets Against Kerry have ZERO credibility, and are thus being almost completely ignored by the mainstream media. Yes, they'll get some airplay with zealots like Hannaty and Rush, but in essence these guys have shown themselves to be total grifters.

Shame of the Republican Party for endorsing this kind of dishonest, and ESPECIALLY shame on George W. Bush for not condemning this pack of fools.

There was a person who served on a Swift Boat with Kerry who was on The O'Reilly Factor the other night. That individual was, I believe, on the first Swift Boat to which Kerry was assigned in December 1968 (and presumably the one that Kerry claims went to Cambodia!) and January 1969. Neither Kerry nor the crew of that Swift Boat were awarded any combat decorations. It is the crew of the second Swift Boat (that is, the one that did not go itno Cambodia, ;>)) that received numerous combat decorations.

Even though there were two other Swift Boats operating in concert when Rassman fell overboard (apparently because Kerry's boat sped up unexpectedly tossing Rassman overboard), I believe, only the members of Kerry's crew received medals. Could the reason the crew of that boat is supporting Kerry be that every one of those crew members received a write-up by a Yalie that overstated what actually occurred?

Michael Moore served with Kerry, didn't he? Wasn't Kerry's first injury on a Boston whaler? Wasn't the name of the mother boat the Pequod? Isn't Moore's code name Moby the Dick? Didn't Herman Melville's prophecy come true? After all, isn't Ahab spelled backwards Baha?! And isn't Kerry going to save all the Baha'i in Iran from being mulled by the mullahs? It all fits!

Kerry is the war criminal and more. Consider the following.

After the Tet offensive North Vietnam was beaten, but with the Socialist press in America and the VVAW the North Vietnamese Communists decided to hold on.

This meant that instead of a US victory in South Vietnam and freedom for the South Vietnamese we had 10,000 - 15,000 more US deaths. America’s POW's were being tortured while listening to tapes of John "Traitor" Kerry calling them baby killers.

The VVAW, an antiwar group, which Kerry was one of the national leaders of, was receiving directions from the North Vietnamese Communist Government. VVAW in contact with NV Communist Gov.

The directions were on how the VVAW should protest the Vietnam War.

The interaction became so depraved, that the North Vietnamese Communist contacted the VVAW via a phone call and advised the VVAW that they were getting ready to start an attack on US troops and that the VVAW was to be prepared to increase the protests against the increase in bombing that the NV Communists were sure would happen. This put our men in further danger because of John Kerry and VVAW actions. VVAW gets directions from VC

John Kerry had no concern for the lives of his fellow soldiers in Vietnam or the POW's, John Kerry only cared about himself and his ambition to become POTUS, whatever the cost.

How many deaths of United States servicemen does John Kerry have on his hands?

How many families has John Kerry's behavior as a VVAW leader and a traitor to his country caused untold pain and suffering to?

How many unncessary tears have been cried because John Kerry betrayed our trust to help a Communist government?

Why didn't John Kerry speak out just one time against the war crimes of his "Comrades in Arms of the North Vietnamese Communists"?
