Liberofascists always look back fondly to Russia in 1917, when the communist socialist state was born. They forget about and even defend the horrific suffering the system imposed upon millions, and the twenty million it murdered.

In a previous thread I commented on Kerry's (in)ability to pick his themes (Vietnam, WOT) and asked if he was suicidal or delusional.
Thanks for posting this. Now I know.
Scary...

You can almost see his thick mane of silver hair returning to the shaggy brown do of those days. I've noticed that too, lately.

Well, for what it's worth, his campaign also made a big play of Kerry on his Harley Davidson, Kerry in long hair standing next to John Lennon, to the music of "Yesterday," and Kerry giving his famous f'n interview to Rolling Stone.
This stuff was used for stairwell posters at NYU and, I suppose, other colleges to attract the student vote. I saw a lot of it around while Howard Dean was riding high, but it has mostly disappeared since Dean collapsed.
I'm not sure if this is Kerry's psychological hangup, or whether it's his idea of how to appeal to the youth vote, which is still nostaligic for the 1960s and the days of wine and roses and political protests.
Kerry's problem is that he seems to have a psychological need to play it both ways: Kerry the War Hero and Kerry the War Protester. In those days, oddly enough, wearing a uniform with the requisite long hair and beret to show you weren't really in the military but only mocking it was an accepted sign of disrespect. But he'll have a hard time selling such a two-faced image today.

This man is living in a time warp.Kerry is qualified to be the liberal anti-war candidate, circa 1968.

"In John Kerrys home entertainment center, its always 1969. Its sometimes that way in his campaign, too."
Aren't the neoMarxists always telling everyone else to MOVE ON?

America faces threats that were unheard of in Kerrys formative years. While those threats build, Kerry is turning on Hendrix, toking on an imaginary joint and telling you about Vietnam. One of the problems all parties faced in World War I was that not only their generals but their political leadership had cut their teeth in wars that involved less destructive technology and were utterly different in character. Some remembered the Franco-Prussian War, for instance, or various colonial conflicts. It took a while for people to realize that somehow they had crossed into a new era.

I wonder if he made his 20-something lover Alex dress up in pooka shell necklaces and tie-dye negligees.

Kerry is qualified to be the liberal anti-war candidate, circa 1968. The baton is passed.

Thanks for this interesting perspective. The Kerry retro-idiots would be surely destructive to the nation.

I've read that this is not the only 'home movie' he keeps playing. A few months back it was reported that he always had that 8mm camera with him in Vietnam. It was also reported that one of his crew's 'duty' was to film all of Kerry's actions when they were in a fire-fight.
Then we had his wife's little verbal slip a while back that Kerry still has flash-backs and nightmares where he wakes up screaming.

I've always suspected that these liberals like Ketchup Boy are stuck in their own psychic 60s quagmire. This article makes Kerry seem like the Robin Williams character in "The Best of Times."
