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.

[July 4th]

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.

[DuncanWaring]

Whaddaya expect from a self-confessed war criminal?

[Perseverando]

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

[Jewels1091]

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

[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....

"But we were incapable of doing violence."

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

[dc-zoo]

This story is not quite to the boiling point yet but it sure is getting there.

[Hon]

There sure is a lot of "spinning" in this report. For instance:

"In the end, no violence has been attributed to the veterans' organization."

This may be technically true, but only because often times their members were arrested before they were able to undertake their violent plots. (Cf. "the Gainesville 8.")

Why is the media so eager to spin things for Kerry? Does Teresa pay their salaries or George Soros?

[isthisnickcool]

Anyone here ever sit around with a group of people you know and discussed MURDERING someone?

If you have then you would be the only person I've ran across that has.

I've heard about such people. People that want to get their agenda across. And to do so as a group they decide killing people is just fine. I've even seen what those types of people will do. On 9/11. They are called terrorists.

[Hon]

"Barnes of Kansas City first said he remembered Kerry attending the meeting and then, after talking about it with members of the campaign staff, said he could not be sure whether the budding politician was there."

LOL!

[Hon]

"We were rebelling. We were decompressing from our time in Vietnam," Bangert said. "But we were incapable of doing violence."

Right. This is the same guy who said that just a few months before these same US soldiers had been gunning down children, raping and skinning women and crucifying Vietcong.

Kerry is so transparent. One can see right through him. He manages to get a position as spokesman for the VVAW and appears extensively representing them and their beliefs. Because he's an opportunist, everything he does is programmed and staged in an attempt to build up a resumé for a future political career. Once his plans are cemented to run for Congress, and the demeanor of the VVAW becomes so radical as to pose a severe threat to that planned political career, he turns his back on his beloved organization and hits the road. He used the military, the VVAW, and his wives for his own personal gains. The guy's nothing but a manipulator and con artist.

" "If there are valid FBI surveillance reports from credible sources that place some of those disagreements in Kansas City, we accept that historical footnote in the account of his work to end the difficult and divisive war." "

Historical footnote........historical footnote?

You have to be kidding me, a historical footnote is President Washington having wooden teeth!

This is a discussion of the feasibility of assassination. The conspiracy to murder multiple senators is not just drunken musings or acid flashbacks, it's treason. Simply treason.

[steplock]

"They say their memories do not include Kerry taking part in the radical discussion. "

They must all be lawyers! ??

[river rat]

It brings great joy, to watch this miserable bastard destroyed in front of the world - by his own words and actions...

The mighty fall hard, and fast..
The arrogant fall hard, fast and terminally.

Semper Fi

[Smartass]

JEEEZZ, at this point in time, "Hanoi John", will lie,
cheat, steal, mislead, misquote, s***w you, me, your
mother, my mother, and yes his mother to be President!

[piasa]

In poring over the records this week, Nicosia found reports stating that Kerry's resignation was accepted at the Kansas City meeting

The ink's still wet, I bet...

[greasepaint]

Clarification needed.
Ketchup allegedly resigned
leadership, or,
membership,
in VVAW, during this conference?
