It is uncanny how much his voice sounds like him !!!!

[Gunrunner2]

Kerry. . .what a pompus ass.

[AnnO]

That is something. Thanks! I have never heard about his brother before in any regard. Does anyone know what his brother, Cameron Kerry, is up to now?

I'm catching the 2nd airing ... it's very interesting and I can't help but notice ... Kerry seems to have trouble looking anyone in the eye

[cwb]

Yeah...I just watched Kerry say he didn't see any heads cut off, but that he did participate in free fires-zones, including burning down the homes of non-combantants. He brushes this off by implying that he didn't necessarily know these were war crimes until after the war...yet, right after that, he mentions the Nuremburg laws, which clearly made those things illegal, after WWII. Flip-floppin' away.

He's a litigator in Boston for the firm - Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky and Popeo P.C.

I turned the channel late, but did hear that O'Neill had served as a Law Clerk for Justice Rhenquist. Dick Cavett, who the C-Span moderator spoke to after O'Neill said something about O'Neill donating a kidney to
his (O'Neill's) wife.

[texasbluebell]

I think I'm mistaken about whose blurb that is -- on 2nd viewing, this looks like c-spam's doing, not Cavett's.

At least that's what it looks like now to me.

[mass55th]

"Kerry tells audience that 'he was told' that he could leave after his third 'Heart and 'deliberated for two weeks' whether he should."

Well that's interesting, since the record shows he put his request in to leave Vietnam just four days after he received his third Purple Heart. Looks like another Kerry lie.

[I got the rope]

I am so sorry for your loss. My mother-in-law lost her first husband(a marine) in Vietnam. John Kerry was a scumbag then...and he is a scumbag now.

[mass55th]

"i read that the FBI files on Kerry's time with VVAW were stolen a few days ago from the journalist who was using them. How convenient! "

Those can't possibly be the originals. The FBI would never let them be removed from their record center.

[BlueNgold]

John Kerry looks like a pompous a$$ and Cavett is kissing it...

[JulieRNR21]

What is Cameron Kerry up to now......you ask.....well he's still working to get his brother elected.....He's going after the Jewish vote. He converted to Judaism. They have it all covered....JFK is Catholic & brother Cameron is Jewish!

Excerpt: The campaign has hired a Jewish coordinator for New York, Lisa Gertsman. But Cameron Kerry, who converted to Judaism 20 years ago when he married a Jewish woman, is key to the campaign’s Jewish outreach effort.

Kerry spent the days leading up to Super Tuesday in New York, attending Friday-evening services at Ramath Orah, an Orthodox synagogue on Manhattan’s Upper West Side.

Cameron Kerry says he also has reached out to friends in Boston’s Jewish community for campaign support.

The Kerry brothers’ own Jewish background — their paternal grandparents were born Jewish in the former Austro-Hungarian empire — gained a further wrinkle over the weekend when an Austrian genealogist revealed that two Kerry relatives died in Nazi concentration camps.

Participants at the New York meeting said they were surprised by how long Kerry had taken to reach out to Jews. But they accepted his explanation, noting that recent changes to the primary schedule — front-loading contests to the first three months of the year — had created a “crushing” campaign.

[faithincowboys]

Go John O'Neil hit that Lurch bastard for only serving 4 months. Kerry acts like he's friggin Patton--what a joke!!!!

[time4good]

Just listening to Kerry ignore O'Neil's facts, I am disgusted by Kerry's arrogance and smug smoothness of lying and how much he reminds me of the same arrogance and smug distortions by the other puke this week of Richard Clarke.

[GailA]

He does it all the time. hanoi john wouldn't know the truth if it bit him on the tush.
