One anti-Kerry group, Vietnam Veterans Against John Kerry (VVAJK), recently formed a national coalition with two other groups: Vietnamese-Americans for Human Rights in Vietnam (VAHRV), and Vietnamese-Americans Against John Kerry (VAAJK). “We represent hundreds of thousand of American veterans,” says VVAJK founder said Ted Sampley, “who do not want to see John Kerry anywhere near the Oval Office.” A formal VVAJK statement reads, “As a national leader of VVAW, Kerry campaigned against the effort of the United States to contain the spread of Communism. He used the blood of servicemen still in the field for his own political advancement by claiming that their blood was being shed unnecessarily or in vain . . .If alQerry wants to re-fight the Vietnam war, let's tell him to bring it on.
If alQerry wants to re-fight the Nuclear Freeze issue and the Reagan arms buildup that brought down the Soviet Union, let's tell him to bring it on.
If alQerry wants to re-fight the liberation of Nicaraqua from Castro-aligned Marxist thugs, a liberation that was opposed by himself and the Democrats, let's tell him to bring it on.
If alQerry wants to re-fight the dismantling of the CIA, which was begun by the Church Commission and continued under sponsorship of alQerry and his Qennedy Liberal Qolleagues, let's tell him to bring it on.
If alQerry wants to re-fight the congressional battles over all the weapons systems that the alQerry's and the alQennedy's of the Senate opposed for the last 20-30 years, let's tell him to bring it on.
I wish some reporter would get on the stick and start asking the several million Vietnamese-Americans who came here after 1975 about these alleged atrocities. They'd quickly discover that there no one knows anything about them. Never heard of 'em. Not a whisper, a rumor, or a peep. It kind of bursts the balloon when the alleged victims of the "atrocities" don't know anything about them.
And the other story is that the Vietnamese-American newspaper were hitting Kerry hard this weekend (most papers are weeklies), carrying multiple photos of Kerry, Hanoi Jane, and their communist hippie followers. The Newsmax photo was front-page, above-the-fold in most V-A newspapers.
The word "phan boi" (traitor) was used liberally in some articles, and others were calling him "mat con ngua" (horseface).
My Vietnamese-American wife reads several of those papers every weekend, and the verdict in that community seems to be that Kerry is a traitor, a liar, ugly, un-Presidential, and not a very admirable fellow.
