Vietnam Veterans Denounce 'Hanoi John'

About 200 U.S. Army veterans and Vietnamese escapees demonstrated Saturday outside John Kerry's campaign headquarters in New York City to protest his betrayal of them.

"Waving American and South Vietnamese flags and singing the U.S. national anthem, they held up signs saying 'Hanoi John,' and 'Kerry Betrayed Vietnam Vets'," Reuters reported.

Jerry Kiley, a veteran and one of the protest organizers, said, "We won't sit by and let the American people think that we are going to stand by somebody who stabbed us in the back."

A great letter.....

"To my fellow Americans:

February 24th was the thirty-fifth anniversary of my arrival, at the age of 19, in what was the free Republic of Vietnam. I was stationed at Can Tho Army Airfield in the Mekong Delta from Feb.'69 to Feb.'70. The first two months I was there overlapped with Monsieur Kerry's last two months "in country". During those two months, he had to have motored his Swiftboat right past our base many times. In the year I was there, I learned how to be an unofficial "ambassador" soldier in my off duty time. Contrary to the horrendous and utterly false picture eminating from the imagination of Swiftboat Commander Kerry about we soldiers who lived among the people, we were not feared by that country's citizens with whom I became aquainted. On the contrary, I made many close Vietnamese friends who welcomed me into their homes and businesses as a friend. I had a girlfriend, Lan Nuyen, in the village of Bien Xe Moi, whose sister had married a GI and was living in Watertown, Massachusetts -- ten miles from where I grew up in Wakefield. I visited her when I returned home before losing track of them both in 1971.

Ask any Vietnam refugee, "Who was the aggressor in that war?" Ask why they chose to come here to America. Was it because we were so brutal and cruel to them, or because they knew us Americans to be kind, generous, and willing to fight for THEIR freedom? It was the Kerry testimony at the Congressional hearings in 1971 that gave the American soldier in Vietnam a false and disgraced reputation. His word is not to be believed. He can not deny that his public professions hurt our efforts to end the war with a positive result, otherwise known as victory. Neither can he deny the smearing of my reputation as a patriotic American, along with my brothers, who sacrificed blood, sweat and tears in an effort to hold back the tide of totalitarianism and its slaughter of innocents for the Communist ideal.

I am proud to be a Vietnam Veteran. I am ashamed that the actions of one of our own did so much damage to our cause, which was to secure the liberty of a people in a small far away land, which we abandoned to the enemy in part because of his political ambitions and lies.

Yours in truth,
Specialist E5 Bruce A. Seibert US Army, 244th Airplane Surveilance Co. 1st Aviation Brigade / IV Corps RVN '69-'70

"Ring Dem Bells"
(To be sung to Bob Dylan's "Ring Them Bells")

Ring Dem bells, you heathens with yer Big Guv'ment schemes...
Ring Dem bells from yer sanctuaries where Vile Lib'rals preach!!
"Re-Impeach!!" Mudboy cried...
"We got Truth on our side...
"And Clinton's Power's fractured...Sweet Justice be thine!!"

Ring Dem bells, good FReepers, let yer OUTRAGE show!!
Ring Dem bells...make yer righteous stand, so John Ashcroft will know!!
Folks, it's Rush Hour now...
Help us FReep 'gainst the Power!!
Lord, the sun is goin' down upon Left's sacred cows!!

Ring Dem bells, Sweet Justice, tell yer Congressman...
Ring Dem bells so the World will know McAuliffe's SCUM!!
Folks, the Networks are asleep...
But their Power's weak...
And the Country's still filled with lost sheep.

Ring Dem bells...fer Left's Blind Ignorance!!
Ring Dem bells for those morally-bereft!
Ring Dem bells for Left's chosen few...
Who would judge the many...
Yet say, "Slick is KEWL!!"
Ring Dem bells for the Chi-Com SPIES...
For the kids that died...
When innocents FRIED!!

Ring Dem bells, brave Patriots, shan't let Tyranny bloom!!
Ring Dem bells for our Sailors whom Slick Willie entombed!!
List of crimes is long...
But Bold FReepers are strong...
And we're breakin' down resistance to Rightin' Wrongs!!

Next step is to alert those Media folks who might be supportive of our Cause...feel free to add to this list in subsequent posts.

Once again, put "Dear Media" in the TO ADDRESS field, have it routed to yourself in your address book for a file copy. Then paste the following list into the BCC ADDRESS field and each recipient will be unaware that you have blanketed them all.

speaker@aim.org, takeaction@americasvoice.com, pat@theamericancause.org, cbnonline@cbn.org, viewer@c-span.org, cato@free-market.net, drudge@drudgereport.com, comment@foxnews.com, letter@globe.com, insight@wt.infi.net, jwatch@erols.com, imus@msnbc.com, hq@lp.org, marklevin@aol.com, jacolumn@toto.net, feedback@usatoday.com, editor@dolphin.gulf.net

That's just a start, and we'll compile any other media emails as you make them available to this thread.

FReegards, all...MUD

However, we can make it even easier for folks to access the Vast, LeftWing Media Whore'd by...

putting "Dear Media" in the TO ADDRESS field, and have it routed to yourself in your address book for a file copy. Then paste the following list into the BCC ADDRESS field and each recipient will be unaware that you have blanketed them all. Please be polite--yet firm--in asking why there has been such inadequate coverage into the sleazy criminal behavior of the Hanoi John Kerry's abysmal war record. And if you could, then check back into this thread and let us know what you said.

Let's do the Big Guv'ment Media Sycophants research for them, folks, and then see if we don't see a few more stories about John Kerry's Corruption in the Press!!
