Good news. A WASHINGTON POST reporter with whom I just spoke wants to know about Kerry using the Vietnam Memorial as a backdrop for a 1984 campaign commercial. He says he is interested in that story. Please help me with the links for that. He is waiting for my email.

Having lost the primary in humiliation - his brother had been caught trying to wiretap an opponent's office - Kerry went to Boston College Law School. Later, he was appointed assistant district attorney, then was elected lieutenant governor under Mike Dukakis in 1982. Two years later, he ran for the U.S. Senate - dusting off his veteran's credentials by standing in front of the black Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington to shoot a TV campaign ad, defying regulations that the memorial not be used for political purposes. The ad "was filmed illegally against the wishes of the National Park Service," according to the Boston Globe. Kerry authorized its broadcast anyway.

Link.

How about the fact that the Kerry commercials from LAST FALL talked about VietNam AND used 9-11 himself when he said he "warned about the threat of terrorism" (implying that if he was President 9-11 wouldn't have happened)?

It is positively insulting that they think we are so dumb as to not notice this stuff.

A WASHINGTON POST reporter...says he is interested in that story.

He may be interested in it, but dollars to donuts his senior editor, who probably participated in anti-war demonstrations in the 70's, will probably kill it as being divisive, inflammatory, and not relevant to this election.

The above web address gives a revealing account of how Kerry likes to position himself in front of the Viet Nam Memorial quite often along with the names of some special interest purchasers of this prostitutes services.
