FYI

[goldstategop]

Yes, why lie? Unless what transpired in the meeting is something the good Senator doesn't want Americans to know about.

[JudgemAll]

Why lie indeed, unless you and the media and many other Soviet/terrorist penetrated corrupt officials in LE are covering for him... yes, I do mean conspiracy.

[GeronL]

I watched that movie 'Second Hand Lions' today.

Not that your cousin was in it or anything... =o)

Scumbag play book rule#1: "deny, deny, deny"

When caught Rule #2: "get amnesia"

"So he said we weren't there, Kerry resigned in St. Louis earlier in the year, he wasn't there but if you've got FBI tapes to show he was there, okay, then we'll concede he was there. But he wasn't there. Now, if you've got these surveillance tapes, fine, then we'll concede that his memory is such that he was there, wasn't there, but he doesn't remember it, you have to go to surveillance tapes to prove it. If he doesn't think he was there, he wasn't there, and he does remember leaving, doesn't matter if he was there, because he left. And that's all that matters. "

Robert, an additional FYI ping. You might want to keep this in the file.

I need to ask you a question. Why lie about this? This is a story by John Kerry and where he was in 1971. Says he wasn't someplace, turns out he was. Why lie when there were witnesses? Why lie about it when people can say he's lying, he was there.

Because: after thirty-something years of Golluming tirelessly on behalf of the most wild-eyed, extremist and anti-freedom liberal worldview conceivable since the long-ago days of guerrilla Che...

... let's face it: it's all he knows how to do at this point, man . :)

[Fledermaus]

Like a far left wing liberal from Massachusetts can't remember he was in Kansas City in 1971!

Hardly.

Now, please don't get me wrong.....I despise Kerry and his behavior after his very short "tour"...

But ---- I'd like to make an honest suggestion that on this one thing - folks may be making too much of the assassination bit... How many of us have mentioned we'd love to see a certain politician or two wasted?

I'd be willing to bet - that there weren't too many returning grunts from Vietnam that wouldn't have been happy to shoot McNamara, and more than a few of the Stars sitting in the Pentagon..and certainly some of the a$$holes of the era that were in Congress.

Now then, when among trusting brothers who shared a life altering experience and for some it was a life defining experience -- you don't go pimping them out if one were to mention he thought it would be a good idea to waste a politician... Austral, many of us had lost brothers in a war that many blamed on the politicians in Washington that micromanaged the mess.

Remember folks -- for the most part - these were vets who had just returned from a year of killing strangers that the politicians in Washington told them "needed killing"....only to find out that Washington didn't want us to kill enough of the bastards to win that damned war...

Naaah, the fuss about one angry grunt talking about killing a politician was simply an angry and betrayed warrior blowing off steam.... None of them blew the head off any politician -- now did they?

As much as I disagree with Kerry and his anti-American VVAW jerks --- I understand perfectly the "assassination" scenario that too much is being made of..

Semper Fi

[endthematrix]

Too stoned, too guilty or both.

[Travis McGee]

When was the meeting of the SDS where the Weather Underground split off, to become terrorists?

Was this the VVAW version of that SDS meeting?

Did Kerry have an obligation to tell the authorities that a faction of his group wanted to kill US Senators?

I'd say yes, certainly.

[Sabertooth]

Now then, when among trusting brothers who shared a life altering experience and for some it was a life defining experience -- you don't go pimping them out if one were to mention he thought it would be a good idea to waste a politician...

It wasn't just one guy, they brought it to a vote after moving the meeting twice for fear of FBI surveillance.

In fact, that's why the FBI file appears exculpatory of Kerry... they didn't get this info. However, the fact that the Kerry VVAW file says that he and the org were nonviolent is also evidence that he didn't report the conspiracy to anyone in law enforcement.

[dandelion]

Keep it coming! You're showing up #1 on Google every time someone types in "stennis" and "kerry"...

YOU'RE #1! YOU'RE #1!

[Sabertooth]

Certainly plausible. The Weather Underground split off in 1969.

[Prime Choice]

Why lie? Well, Kerry's a Democrat. Lying is first (not second) nature to them. Take a look at how Clinton is revered by the rank-and-file. That in itself says a whole lot right there...

[Diddle E. Squat]

Paging Paul Shanklin:

Everythin's up to date in Kansas City,
They've gone about as far as they can go...

[endthematrix]

It is less about the fuss over one angry grunt talking about killing a politician than about the spin, spin, spin. Elites pay big money to be framed perfectly to the masses. If it plays well in a focus group that it appears valiant to take a stand (and honesty) to his past beliefs, he will. Then again, elites have no qualms lying to further a perfect appearance, in straight contrast to past actions. Kerry has no honesty and no integrity.

Original Statement: I wasn't there.

Statement Refuted: Tapes show you were there.

Revised Statement: I wasn't there after I was there.

--- What does that remind us of? ----

Original Statement: I didn't vote against funding the troops in Iraq.

Statement Refuted: Records show you voted against the funding.

Revised Statement: I voted for the funding before I voted against it.
