A full congressional investigation into the alledged war crimes of John Kerry should be immediately conducted.

Everytime I hear John 'EFFING' Kerry's name mentioned I think of "STOLEN VALOR". He is a fraud and a traitor and I am sick of his garbage!! You will NEVER hear a real HERO talk about HIMSELF at the drop of a hat. He is sickening to the extreme.

We can all surmise that Kerry's service record is inflated. Vietnam wasn't a popular war and the brass were eager to boost morale by handing out medals. That enviroment perfectly suits a blowhard like Kerry who no doubt did everything he could to puff himself up and has been cashing in ever since. Still, the men from his unit back him up, whether out of self-interest or just respect for an old pal. Attacking him on this topic will not help us with swing voters. Sean was right to make it the official Republican media machine isn't going there.

I lost friends and family over in Nam, and I will not give this traitor an inch. Hannity should at the very least castigated Kerry for his alliance to Fonda. Thanks for your opinion, though.

This gentleman kept trying to explain to Sean why Kerry is not a hero. Hannity kept interrupting him, and would not hear it. It's quite obvious that the "word" has gone out that everybody needs to ackowledge Kerry is a "war hero", but.....
I'm not sure of the reasoning. Maybe it's because the Reps just don't want to turn Kerry into a victim. I don't know.
Personally, I think Kerry and other vietnam protesters have blood on their hands, and I'm waiting on someone to produce a video about the years 1973 to 1975, where we got what we wanted from No. Vietnam in 1973. But by 1975 the Kerrys of the world gave So. Vietnam away and left millions of people in So. East asia dead as a result.
The anti-war movement was almost as deadly for So. East Asians as Hitler was to Jews. And that's a fact.
They may not have done the killing, but they enabled it, and covered it up by ignoring it.

Whatever "service" Kerry rendered in Vietnam, he made himself a Traitor in return.
Just ask General Giap.

"You will NEVER hear a real HERO talk about HIMSELF at the drop of a hat."
You are right - you must tease or grind it out of them. They for the most part do not consider themselves "hero" - they just did what had to be done in the moment - as any competent person would.
Some relatives have a few medals from WWII and Korea - pulling teeth to get the stories and even then they play down their part.
Kerry - your opportunism and puffed up chest gives you away to anyone knowledgable.

Gen. Giap: Kerry's Group Helped Hanoi Defeat U.S.
The North Vietnamese general in charge of the military campaign that finally drove the U.S. out of South Vietnam in 1975 credited a group led by Democratic presidential front-runner John Kerry with helping him achieve victory.
In his 1985 memoir about the war, Gen. Vo Nguyen Giap wrote that if it weren't for organizations like Kerry's Vietnam Veterans Against the War, Hanoi would have surrendered to the U.S. - according to Fox News Channel war historian Oliver North.
That's why, he predicted on Tuesday, the Vietnam War issue "is going to blow up in Kerry's face."
"People are going to remember Gen. Giap saying if it weren't for these guys [Kerry's group], we would have lost," North told radio host Sean Hannity.
"The Vietnam Veterans Against the War encouraged people to desert, encouraged people to mutiny - some used what they wrote to justify fragging officers," noted the former Marine lieutenant colonel, who earned two purple hearts in Vietnam.
"John Kerry has blood of American soldiers on his hands," North said.

Clinton and Kerry are both egotistical, self-promoting slobs.
One is good at eating heros and the other has only met them.

Agreed. Hannity has every right to feel Kerry served with honor, but his guest also has a right to his belief. Hannity can keep his "fair and balanced" creds intact, but he overdid it today.

Liberals claim to write a book, take a huge advance, and hire a ghostwriter:)

I almost lost it today. In fact I did. I was SCREAMING at Hannity "SHUT UP, SHUT UP!
He was not only fawning over Kerry's Viet Nam stint with repetitious, fawning, sophomoric cliches, but he wouldn't let his guest, a REAL Nam hero, talk at all.
I didn't turn his program off, I yanked the cord right out of the wall.
Sean was sickening today. He may be our guy, but he's got a lot to learn before he gets to be as astute as Rush.
