C-SPAN to Broadcast Old Kerry Anti-war Testimony

John Kerry’s controversial anti-Vietnam War testimony is taking one step closer to haunting him during his presidential bid.

C-SPAN has announced that it plans to present it Sunday night at 6:30 and 9:30 p.m. EST.

This could be political dynamite for the liberal senator and presumptive Democratic nominee for president.

This is the testimony where Kerry, a young veteran of the Vietnam War, accused his fellow soldiers of a string of atrocities.

Since the April 22, 1971, testimony has come to light, Kerry has tried every way he knows to play it down or minimize it.

Sunday night, millions of Americans will have the opportunity to see it in the candidate's own words before Sen. William Fulbright's Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

Its pretty obvious from these calls that the DNC got caught with their pants down on this.

Only low grade morons are calling in to support Kerry

[ladyinred]

Perhaps the DNC has decided that he like Dean has to go once they saw what a lousy candidate he is? They got rid of Dean in one day, they could do the same with Kerry easily. Who knows what is in the minds of these evil people?

[Miss Marple]

Now a DU type is supporting Kerry.

[nutmeg]

What was that about a photo of Kerry with an upside-down U.S. flag? I missed it...

[Carolinamom]

Exactly.

[EllaMinnow]

They're busy watching Clarke on "Sixty Minutes."

[Clara Lou]

How come the only callers supporting him are women who didn't serve there?

[Molly Pitcher]

That one caller just now was excellent!!

[Howlin]

I've heard about that, but don't know exactly what is was.

[nutmeg]

Call C-SPAN NOW!!!

203-585-3886 - Bush supporters

203-585-3887 - Vietnam Vets

[Brad’s Gramma]

I'm tellin' ya, the Clinton's are behind this. I do NOT think he's going to be the Democratic candidate.

[netmilsmom]

Go, go, go j!!! I knew you would put this to good use. Please ping me when your next ad is up.

I have to put the kiddies to bed, I'll be back!!

[maica]

There were NO Republican Senators even in the room?

This was put on by people who thought it would polish Kerry's image.

The first callers were all pro-veteran. Now the pro-Kerry cspammers are getting through.

My C-Span started to show the opening of the hearing and then cut away...just as well...not sure I could take it without gutting every television in the house.

"We cannot fight Communism all over the world."

Wonder what the people of Poland, Hungary, Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia, Romania, Bulgaria, Albania, Kazhakstan, Ukraine, etc think about that statement?

[P.O.E.]

Was surprised to see it on TV while flipping channels. Looked like a bunch of Democrats trying to make Nixon look bad. Wasn't Viet Nam a war started, escalated and lost via Democrat meddling & dithering?

Kerry's testimony itself looked like a scripted demoralization, at best.

[Miss Marple]

A son of a Viet Nam vet calls in and hints that Kerry was a coward.

[Rome2000]

Kerry could have stayed after being scratched three times but he had to hurry up and get back to start his Presidential campaign

[texasbluebell]

Aiken was a republican, I saw an R after his name when he was questioning Kerry.

Other than that, the others who spoke were all dems.

[Miss Marple]

Ah, now Cheney on! Excellent contrast!
