Sen. John Kerry's campaign all but conceded he attended a 1971 Kansas City meeting where a fellow anti-war veteran called for political assassinations.

Should we start calling him JWK (i.e. John Wilkes Kerry) instead of JFK.

Welcome to the mainstream press, John Kerry VVAW story. We're happy to see you.

[Callahan]

Imagine George W. Bush saying he "can't recall" if he was at a meeting where the asassination of liberal U.S. senators was discussed. I wonder if the media would be this calm.

[ConservativeMan55]

Kerry's going down!

Bend over and grab your ankles Senator Kerry!

[DuncanWaring]

Whaddaya expect from a self-confessed war criminal?

[Callahan]

No no no. He voted against the assasination plot remember? He was just part of this traitorous outfit to further his political career.

[Perseverando]

Hillary, the peasants are calling for you to save them from the "crooked, lying Republicans."

[HarryCaul]

Hey Kerry, Dick Nixon called. He said to tell you "It's not the crime son, it's the coverup"

Whatever that might mean to you.

[ConservativeMan55]

LOL!

[gogipper]

He voted against the assassination plot, but that was before he voted for it !#???

[muawiyah]

How do we know he voted against the plot? For all anybody has admitted to, it might have been Kerry's own resolution.

[Jewels1091]

Confronted with 32-year-old FBI records How did they get these???????

[kitkat]

***A statement Thursday by Kerry's camp said the Massachusetts Democrat did not recall the meeting,...***
Yeah, suuuure! Any one of us would forget being at a meeting where it was argued that six Republic Senators should be assassinated. /Sarcasm

[randog]

The DNC must be in panic mode over this story. This story is blatant damage control--put a nice face on a their presidential candidate involved in a plot to assassinate sitting US Senators. "Just a bunch of guys sittin' round the table suckin' down brews and talkin' smack--yeah, that'll work, drunk guys just BS-in'." The fax machine at the DNC headquarters must be working overtime tonight as they get this story out to the LAT, NYT, ABCCBSNBCCNN....

[InvisibleChurch]

"But we were incapable of doing violence."

i thot kerry said the problem was that the vets couldn't stop committing atrocities in vietnam?

[vbmoneyspender]

He was just part of this traitorous outfit to further his political career.

Just another day of networking with would be assassins. I don't know about you, but it happens to me all the time that I intend meetings where political assassinations are discussed. I am sure that is a routine occurrence for most people .

[blanknoone]

Welcome to the mainstream indeed.

How exactly did we get from "never, ever" attending the meeting, to did not recall, to conceding he was there. No mention of the fact that his concession was direct reversal of his emphatic statement (ie LIE!)

At least it is in the mainstream, but its getting mainstream (you know, that river in france) press treatment.

I was just thinking the same thing. Let's put this into perspective--Jacques Querry belonged to a group that thought political assassination was a viable political process. That's Jacques Querry, a guy that wants to become President of the United States.
