[Interesting Times]

It isn't really activism, of course, but we like it...

For example, the New York Times identified Kerry as "spokesman for Vietnam Veterans Against the War" in this article on January 11, 1972.

OK, read the linked NY Times article. It is referencing this speech Kerry gave at Dartmouth. There was a thread on it the other night:

In '72 speech, a different kind of Kerry. (** Criticized Nixon for seeking early return of POWs!!**)

EXCERPT:

In his 1972 speech, Kerry lashed at then-President Richard Nixon, claiming that he was personally responsible for over 130,000 Vietnam casualties a month, although Kerry also predicted reelection. He also criticized Nixon for trying to request the return of prisoners of war before the war ended. Ironically, Kerry has worked with Arizona Sen. John McCain on lingering Vietnam POW/MIA issues during their time in the Senate.

I want to read more about this speech.

In an earlier thread, comment was made about a Kerry interview with Dick Cavett (about 1972, IIRC). That interview tape has been unavailable. Based on the tone of the comments, that interview much be explosive.

Someone else posted that CSPAN is supposed to play that tape on Sunday.

FWIW (for what it's worth)

PING!

More Republican attack politics...aka the truth about the libs!

I want this to be true, but perhaps the writers in both articles who identified him as a member of the group performed sloppy journalism. Maybe they should have called him former member or leader. Still, it raises some more doubts. Show us the dental records.

SMOOCH!

Thanks for finding this out. I was wondering earlier this evening if you and your army of researchers had turned anything up showing that Kerry didn't cut his links.

Now I wonder what may come of this if it is proven that Kerry was in the meetings when the assassination planning took place.

From the 2nd article:Antiwar protesters in New York planned a mile-long march from the edge of Central Park to Bryant Park in mid-Manhattan for a rally featuring speeches by John Kerry, a leader of the Vietnam Veterans Against the War and Sen. Mike Gravel, D-Alaska.

Did this rally ever take place? Can we get more info or photos?

[krunkygirl]

thank you for finding and sharing Bump!

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

Bump for the truth getting out!

[savedbygrace]

I love the smell of toast in the morning . . . or the afternoon, or the evening. Buh bye, Johnny Gigolo. (Assuming this news is verifiable and solid.)

[doug from upland]

On hold to discuss this on the Al Rantel show in L.A. Kevin James is sitting in. To listen on the internet, go to KABC RADIO.

[TonyM]

Don't get your hopes up. Kerry could have been the freeway sniper and the media would have covered it up, or at least ignored it.

[lainde]

Figures. And of course he didn't REPORT the assasination plot...

[jmstein7]

Holy moly!

GREAT research!

[thoughtomator]

I'm a frickin prophet... I saw Kerry going down in flames the moment he emerged as the nominee. Fear my priescence! (Or maybe I just read FR)

[faithincowboys]

Oh, yes it is. We should all be active in getting this out. Kerry hasn't changed--that's important. America can't afford him anywhere near the white house-- he is a danger and a disgrace.

KERRY: NO FOREIGN ENDORSEMENTS, PLEASE... Kerry Foreign Policy Advisor Rand Beers issued the following statement today: '...

Rand Beers? Didn't Mel Gibson kill this guy in Lethal Weapon II?
