John Kerry is a shallow, hollow socio-pathological liar who is incapable of telling the truth.
Kerry has sued his former Navy Swiftboat group to stop a TV ad exposing his war record in Vietnam as a fraud. I guess Kerry forgot about the First Amendment in our U.S. Constitution. The Vietnam vets have compiled the facts surrounding Kerry’s three Purple Hearts and Silver and Bronze Stars medals. His so-called “war hero” medals he’s now showing off in his presidential campaign was all made (or made-up) in only four months during combat in Vietnam.
Kerry was the only Swiftboat sailor ever to leave Vietnam without completing the standard one-year tour of duty, other than those who were seriously wounded or killed, according to Swiftboats vets.
All of this has been documented in a new book just released on Kerry’s war record titled “Unfit To Be Commander.”
Kerry’s response to the Vietnam vets 3-minute commercial on his controversial four-month combat duty? Sue them! Shut them up! Prevent them from telling their well-documented investigative report.
Now that’s how the nation’s leading liberal deals with truth.
Here’s how America’s leading conservative, George Bush, dealt with a fictional film called Farenheight 911” by an anti-American filmmaker, Michael Moore.
When the two-hour movie was released this summer in 400 theaters in America, President Bush did not sue to stop the film from being seen by moviegoers.
Why not? Because Bush believes in the United States Constitution and the First Amendment protecting free speech, even if the “speech” is full of falsehood and leftist-Marxist propaganda.
Moore’s movie was distributed by a leftist organization in America. Distribution of the film in the Mideast is being handled by a terrorist organization, Hezbollah. Here is the text of the three-minute ad made by the Vietnam vets on Kerry’s four-month combat engagement:
John Edwards: “If you have any question about what John Kerry is made of, just spend three minutes with the men who served with him.”
Al French: “I served with John Kerry.”
Bob Elder: “I served with John Kerry.”
George Elliott: “John Kerry has not been honest about what happened in Vietnam.”
Al French: “He is lying about his record.”
Louis Letson: “I know John Kerry is lying about his first Purple Heart because I treated him for that injury.”
Van O’Dell: “John Kerry lied to get his bronze star. I know. I was there. I saw what happened.”
Jack Chenowath: “His account of what happened and what actually happened are the difference between night and day.”
Admiral Hoffman: “John Kerry has not been honest.”
Adrian Lonsdale: “And he lacks the capacity to lead.”
Larry Thurlow: “When the chips were down, you could not count on John Kerry.”
Bob Elder: “John Kerry is no war hero.”
Grant Hibbard: “He betrayed all his shipmates…and he lied before the Senate.”
Shelton White: John Kerry betrayed the men and women he served in Vietnam.”
Joe Ponder: “He dishonored his country…he most certainly did.
Bob Hildreth: “I served with Kerry…”
Bob Hildreth (off-camera): John Kerry cannot be trusted.”
Announcer: “Swift Boat Veterans for Truth is responsible for the content of this advertisement.”
John Kerry came home and was the leader, along with “Hanoi Jane” Fonda, in the anti-war movement, calling his comrades in arms “murderers, rapists, torturers” destroying families and villages during his four months in service.
The Vietnam vets called all of Kerry’s accusations lies. For a complete background on Kerry’s four months of combat in Vietnam, visit swiftvets.com.
The only reason I decided to write this column is because Kerry himself made his “war hero” profile the centerpiece of his bid for the presidency of the United States.
Kerry has opposed both the Gulf War in 1990 under the first President Bush, and the war in Iraq under President George W. Bush. He has also voted against almost every military expenditure during his 20 years as a U.S. Senator, including gutting the CIA, the FBI and the Defense Department.
And he now wants to run the country in World War III between global terrorists killing innocent men, women and children throughout the world, and the American-led coalition of freedom fighters put together by President Bush. Forget about it!
Alas, now he’s changing his mind, pretending to be for the war in Iraq because more than 80 percent of the residents of Iraq support the role of America in liberating their country from the mass-murdering grips of the terrorists, and the end of the reign of terror under Saddam Hussein and his two maniacal sons, who were killed in gunfire with American troops.
You’re too late, Kerry.
Besides, no non-liberal American believes a word you say anymore, since you no longer stand for anything, as you have two or three conflicting positions on every issue.
You cannot take a “Yes” and “No” stand on every issue, Kerry. One cancels out the other.
In a word, you stand for NOTHING!

Mind, now: I'm certainly not saying Kerry's too smart to do something like this -- just look at what he ended up marrying, after all :) -- but: no one else has yet reported anything along these lines (have they)...?
Question ... is this article for real?
To sue the vets just makes Kerry look petty. Still, I'd like to see more about his time with Jane Fonda and the "Let's Hate America" crowd. I'll be he said some pretty awful things about his fellow vets and America as a whole.
Thanks for pointing that out. I'm curious as well.

It frankly reads like midgrade college journalism.
Kerry's also said that if the US is attacked with nuclear weapons, he won't respond. Hardly reassuring, but on the other hand, maybe he'll flip flop again. Or maybe not.
If Kerry knows of these atrocities firsthand, that means he either participated in them or stood by and watched as others others did.
Either way, he is not fit to be leader of anything, let alone the free world.
If he heard of these things second-hand, then they are merely heresay and should not be used in sworn testimony before Congress.

"All of this has been documented in a new book just released on Kerry’s war record titled “Unfit To Be Commander".
The author did get the title of the Swifties book incorrect, however.
"Unfit for Command"

I agree with you. It's amateurish.
The actual title is "Unfit For Command"
Fabulous! I don't think I'm going to mind humming "Riders of the Storm" all day.
Just as an aside, your mower blade needs to be sharpened!
Has Kerry sued anyone over the commercial or book? I don't think he has. (I imagine the last thing in the world he wants is to be called to testify under oath and be proven the liar he is).
