Associated Press Before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee 33 years ago, John Kerry criticized the war, saying, "How do you ask a man to be the last man to die for a mistake?"

As hard as it may be to believe, this yoyo is a bigger POS than der Slickmeister.

To this day, Vietnam Veterans Against the War remains controversial to some veterans...

To this day, Benedict Arnold remains controversial to some historians....

The NY Times is absolutely amazing. Even in a piece describing several actions that would constitute high treason, they still regularly suck up to him and make him look like a shining star. What a sick, sick rag.

Oh, and how the hell does someone -forget- being at a meeting where assassinations are being plotted? I mean, how can one -possibly- forget that? What the hell else was he doing then, that would make something like that forgettable?

As in publishing this piece that is "delicate" to the Kerry campaign on a Saturday.

The campaign pressed other veterans who were in Kansas City, Mo., 33 years ago to re-examine their hazy memories while assuring them that Mr. Kerry was sure he had not been there.

That would've been interesting to witness.

No matter how hard the NYSLIMES tries to sugar-coat their paper tiger......it's not gonna wash. Too many people were there! There is no way to "make this sound good."


History don't spin.

***Asked why the Vietnamese would meet with a 26-year-old, Mr. Kerry suggested it was because he had been on television as a veteran opposed to the war. He acknowledged that they might have been trying to use him to shape American public opinion. ***

Well, weren't they on the same page?

You are absolutely right. There are just too many people still left alive who remember what really happened back then.

I was looking around one day and stumbled upon this on a 'military' bulletin board:

Presidential Candidate/ Senator John Kerry

John Kerry was a swift boat cap'n in Vietnam, decorated with a silver star and other medals. I am a volunteer on the Kerry campaign and would like to hear from anyone who served with him.

He was almost always the most conservative man in the room.

I so want to barf.

Heck, I didn't even think it was possible.
