[Howlin]

Here we go!

It's suppose to be on C-SPAN at 8:42 p.m., EDT, but it may be sooner, so pay attention!!!

[Southflanknorthpawsis]

Even with all his combat experience (cough, cough) Kerry might have troubling escaping this attack. LOL

[Howlin]

OMG.....this is devastating.

[arasina]

Joseph Ponder's family wanted to know if he took part in the atrocities described...choking up...

[EllaMinnow]

Elder choked me up, and now Joseph Ponder has me in tears...

[old-ager]

> I can't record both.. .Darn.

H & C is repeated in the middle of the night.
Also, CSPAN often repeats things ... though this might be too hot.

[Brad’s Gramma]

Oh dear Lord...listen to this man. My heart breaks.


THANK YOU to all of the Viet Nam vets!!!

[Rebelbase]

DU comments on this press conference:

"These are the THUGS AND HOODLUMS KERRY testified about"

"Smear Boat Veterans for Bush"

"They are still stuck in the past and use Goebbels tactics against people."

"Oops! The freepers are really POed at CBS and want to start a fax campaign about their bias in reporting. How dare they report two sides of a story."

"Counter Fax the Freep Sex Machine for Media Whoredom.

"Fax CBS and complain about their (Free Republic) Lie bias machine. Tell CBS it's an organized GOP attack by a few greedy republicans out to end all last vestiges of truth in the media."

"THEY ARE PATHETIC TROLLS I'M SURPRISED THEIR HERO RUSH ISN'T THERE Complete with the LARGE PURPLE BOIL on his ASS"

[Miss Marple]

Joseph Ponder says his wife and daughters asked him if he took part in the atrocities mentioned in Brinkley's book. His family told him it was his duty to be there.

[arasina]

You know they all just wish they could say, "Kerry, you're an A**HOLE!"

[prairiebreeze]

ditto, kleenex needed

[68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub]

"It is a fact that during the Vietnam War, we never lost a single battle;
we lost the battle at home, and at home, John Kerry was the field commander."

Worth Repeating!

[Carolinamom]

Joe Ponder is breaking up recalling how his wife and child asked him if he had committed the atrocities Kerry told about in his book. Shame on Kerry.

[just me]

Kerry is going down, this has got to be his end

[commish]

You could tell he was tearing up as he talked about the stain of sewage that Kerry threw on all the servicemen.

One of the defining moments of my life came when I was 10 years old. It was 1971, and my brother had been severly injured in Vietnam. MY dad, mom and I waited for him at the Buffalo Airport. As he came off the plane, on crutches, both arms covered in bandages, proudly wearing his Army dress uniform --some scumbag walked up to him and SPIT in his face!!!

Today I am in my 22nd year of proudly serving in the United States Air Force, and every minute I serve is in memory of that day. When I see and hear John F-IN I see and hear that same Scumbag.

[NormsRevenge]

Joseph Ponder

just one of many who question all the claims of attrocities that Kerry claimed happened..

referencing actual account of one incident,, and how Kerry embellished record of battle account and casualties incurred

Kerry always criticized others in command without knowing all the facts.

[alnick]

Watching this makes it really hit home how very many people John F. Kerry has hurt.

[OXENinFLA]

Did you read O'neill's WSJ story today?

At one point O'neill said at the same time he was dodging rockets Kerry was meeting w/ the Vietcong in Paris.

[arasina]

Bless Ponder's heart. What damage Kerry has done to so many people!

[ride the whirlwind]

Colmes whining at how bad to attack a man who earned 3 purple hearts...puh-leeze. They were more of a pale lavender if you ask me.

[RightWingMama]

I'm losing it.
