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.

Did you notice how they listed Senator Kerry's term of service in Vietnam? It was "1968-1969." But why not show month and year, rather than just year?

[Miss Marple]

You know the answer. It doesn't sound as good to say "Dec-Feb", which is what it was.

Repeat at 9:30pn on C-SPAN

I was on another thread..I thought I couldn't make it through ...Kerry had a speechwriter for the speech Kalb was swooning over,one of Kennedy's writers.

Great tag line , Meg

[MEG33]

Condensed it from a great Mark Steyn line,thanks!

Well, dang. I missed it the first time. Now I have C-Span on
(checked BOTH C-Span channels) and it's not on right now. ;^(

[potlatch]

A post or two above yours says it repeats at 9:30. Hope you catch it then.

I heard the announcer on C-SPAN say they had the full 2 hour session available.

I watched part of this today. I wondered why they had part of it in video and the rest in just audio. Then, after Kerry got through with his grandstanding speech, the senators were to ask him questions. What I noticed was it didn't appear to be any REPUBLICANS who were asking any of the questions .. at least not the "selected" segments I saw. How partisan is that ..??

[MeekOneGOP]

Yeah, 8:30 Central time. I FINALLY found it on one of the C-Span channels I get on my satellite.

Kerry really is a LIAR and a bas*ard. Watching him now, I can see it ! ...

[MeekOneGOP]

I'm watching the traitor who once sat in a meeting discussing assassination
plans for U.S. Senators ...

[MeekOneGOP]

Kerry's AWOLism has increased this year. When in 'attendance', he has
proven to be a traitor.

He does better (less harm) when he's AWOL from 'service' to this country,
imho ...

Listening to these callers on C-Span, I can see they are cherry-picking callers,
with their 'glowing' comments regarding Jean Keri.

[MEG33]

At the first airing we had 3 vets,our Aloha Ronnie was one,call in and call Kerry a liar ,etc.,then there were 2 women and one vet,one adorer of Kerry ,2 anti war(the vet however,did not approve of the atrocity claims by Kerry)

[CyberAnt]

Andrea Mitchell said the same thing to Chris Mathews.

Those that served went, saw and some took actions they felt necessary to change things after they returned. I may not like that or you may not like that but that is an option....

Kerry did not merely voice legitimate objections to the war. He committed treason by negotiating with the enemy. He lied about our soldiers, accusing them of atrocities he knew they had not committed. His perjured testimony before the Senate was the single greatest cause of suffering on the part of our brave soldiers when they returned home. He deliberately caused as much suffering as he could, not out of patriotism, but out of evil intent. If our soldiers were really the evil b*****ds he accused (and still accuses) them of being, it would be a different matter entirely. He tells his lies so convincingly, I'm sure there are still people to this day who believe every word he said. And of those who know better, I'm sure there are quite a few who think Kerry honestly believed what he was saying. He is a very convincing liar. That doesn't make it right. Yes, evil is always an option, but it is never an acceptable option.

The cover of J F'n Kerry's book 'New American Soldier' has a pic of radical, long haired, VVAW types mocking Old Glory as its upside down in an Iwo Jima type photo. They are making faces. That book cover shows you John Kerry's patriotism and I think the RNC should make posters of it quite frankly.
