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.

The 60's are here again...if only I could still fit in my bell bottoms

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?

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.

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.

JEAN QAERRY MELTDOWN!

The melting wax forehead is returning too.

OK .. why did the NYT print this article?

Sure much of it was puff .. but a lot of people didn't know about this part of Kerry's life

By printing this article .. it's now it's wide open for discussion

John Kerry is a disgrace

Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't this the FIRST mention in the Times of the KC assassination plot? And the fact that Kerry was present at the meeting where the plot was voted on?

I sure hope the Bush campaign is holding this issue in reserve for use in commercials.

John Freakin' Kerry was a commissioned officer in the United States Navy, he testified to the U.S. House of Representatives about atrocities in Viet Nam, there is no Statute of Limitations on WAR CRIMES.

John Freakin' Kerry should be tried as a War Criminal (maybe we should do Robert Mc Namara at the same time!)

It accepted the resignation of a campaign volunteer in Florida, Scott Camil,

Well, this is the first update on Camil's status with the Kerry campaign that I've seen. He has stated that they contacted him to join the campaign. Now we see he has since resigned from it. (I'm sure they told him to never mind, it wasn't a good idea after all.)

Very interesting investigation from the New York Times, even if they do put it in the Saturday edition.

New York Times reports on Kerry's VVAW affiliation, including the assassination plot.

[Stultis]

And when Mr. Kerry appeared on "Meet the Press" last weekend, he disavowed his own remarks on the same program in April 1971, when he said he and thousands of other soldiers had committed "atrocities."

That's misleading. He regretted his word choices, while pointedly refusing to retract, disavow or apologize for the substance of his comments or activities at the time.
