Kerry Propagandist Brinkley Lies About Unanimity Of Kerry's Crewmen

Compiled | March 11, 2004 | Various

[Hon]

Negotiating with the ENEMY during a shooting war should be enough to kill his chances in a sane world. It is simply outrageous.

Kerry not only admitted to it, he BRAGGED about it to the Senate.

The stuff about Kerry's possible involvement and almost certain knowledge of a discussion to kill US Senators is another incident that should destroy his candidancy among rational voters. And that he is still involved with people who were involved with that, is unbelievable.

Then you add in his very supicious Purple Heart history--which may very well get blown sky high by that book that is coming out from the two Boston Globe reporters.

And if it isn't enough that he was more radical than Jane Fonda, more of a traitor than Bill Clinton--he is more of a liberal in his voting record than his personal nose cozy, Ted Kennedy!

Yeah, I'd say he has a lot to hide. Lucky for him he has the media, the academics and the Hollywood machine all working for him. Josepeh Goebbels could only envy the machine the Democrats have put together. But facts are stubborn things. Heck, I have even have a copy of Kerry's secret book. He couldn't burn them all!

Mort said the mere idea of Kerry talking about "all these personal attacks on him" is laughable because, to this point in the election, the ONLY people throwing dirt are the Democrats and Kerry's minions.

Mort is right

[Richard Kimball]

I don't think a man who actually negotiated with the enemy during a war has ever run for President before.

Bill Clinton left Oxford during his final year and spent months in the Soviet Union. He also stayed with Communist leaders in Poland. This was during the Berlin Wall days, and people didn't just stroll into the Soviet Union like a Western European backpacking trip. The press finds Bush's being in Alabama far more suspicious than they did Clinton's sojourn in the Soviet Union, and he has never accounted for his actions and whereabouts during that time. I don't know if he negotiated with the enemy, but he sure negotiated with their bosses.

[Hon]

"Brinkley may regret the day he attached himself to the behind of the lying liberal JFKerry. Seems like he has found a need to attempt to do a bit of cleansing."

I believe you are right. Brinkley's book goes so far it is laughable. This is a transparent attempt to try to restore a little credibility.

But as I pointed out and anybody can see, it is merely a fig leaf. And, in fact, it is more about discrediting Gardner and reinforcing the unanimity among those who aren't "whackjobs" than anything else.

[xzins]

I thought I remembered that Gardner claimed some 3 years in Vietnam. If so, I'm curious as to what pay grade he was....E4,5,6???

Who were the NCOs onboard that boat?

[Hon]

I agree that Clinto did some questionable things during that period. But they really don't compare with what Kerry did.

Kerry gave aid and comfort to the enemy. People complain about Jane Fonda going to Hanoi. Kerry was meeting with the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese long before Fonda went to Hanoi.

Fonda broadcast lies about the US soldiers, called them war criminals, on Hanoi radio. Kerry did it on Meet The Press, Dick Cavett, 60 Minutes and in front of the US Senate.

Fonda never negotiated with the enemy--never told Congress that they had to adopt the Viet Cong's own "People's Peace Treaty" like Kerry did.

Hell, one of Kerry's "Band Of Brothers" even entertained the VC and NVM with the VC Natinal Anthem and The Ballad Of Ho Chi Minh:

I saw Brinkley on CSpan and you would have thought that Kerry was the messianic Philosopher King. WOW and what a deeeeep thinker and with a conscience for all mankind was a a very gay presentation.

I have been itching about Brinkley's book ever since that 1 Republican set foot on the stage in Iowa.


"it is merely a fig leaf." But by placing this in Time it is Brinkley who is exposing questions about his own book, no matter if it is to discredit that unexamined 10th witness.

So Brinkley's book needs more scrutiny, based upon Brinkley's own words.

Us, too!

And, Hon, there IS something that smells to high heaven about this "machine" they have put together; they obviously have been working on it since the day the Senate confirmed that Bush was the president in December of 2000.

Talk about rapid response.

[Howlin]

But if you actually READ the words that Kerry speaks, nobody can understand then.

For instance, on Haiti:

"I think you've got to be real and threatening," he said. His message to the rebels, he said, would be: "You're not going to take over, you're not kicking him out, this democracy is going to be sustained, we're willing to put in a new government, new prime minister, we're willing to work with you, but you're not going to succeed in your goal of exiling" Mr. Aristide. "And unless that's clear, you can't necessarily stop it in its tracks."

Though Mr. Kerry acknowledged that he did not fully know the diplomatic strategy of the Bush administration to deal with Haiti's crisis, he speculated that a purposefully timid approach on the part of the Bush administration — "because they hate Aristide" — could be allowing the rebels to move forward with their uprising.

Huh? Hate him? What must he be thinking!

I have been compiling a list of scources of info on Kerry's missteps but can't find any reference to killing senators. Do you have a reference?

[annyokie]

ping!

[Hon]

As I'm sure you know, Kerry was a total hawk about invading Haiti and installing Aristide back in 1994:

Kerry Pushed For Military Invasion of Haiti in '94
The New York Times ^ | May 16, 1994 | John F. Kerry

He didn't want to wait for sanctions to work. He didn't want to wait for a multi-lateral force headed by the UN.

He wanted Haiti invaded and "Father Aristide" (as he called the defrocked priest) installed immediately! Of course Aristide was a Communist. Maybe that had something to do with it.

And the fact that the "outraged" family members of 911 were rabid Bush-haters never made the light of day, until we uncovered it here on FreeRepublic. And it STILL hasn't made it into the mainstream media, much less Time magazine.

Actually this story has made it into mainstream media, including editorials in the NY Post and Wall Street Journal, and a column in the Washington Times. And Fox News has done a number of stories on it.

They are mainstream, but generally conservative.

However, yesterday Howard Kurtz, in his Media Notes column in the Washington Post, quoted four paragraphs directly from the NY Post's editorial.

Also, several of us - particularly doug from upton - have been hitting on the Boston Globe's Ombudsman and the author of their original story, Anne Kornblut.

Will one of the many rich Republicans that own businesses here in American please help this man. He stood up and now, thanks to Kerry, he is without a job!

Enough of the Clinton tactics! Help this man if you can.
