Communist Vietnamese Honor John Kerry, the War Protestor, as a Hero in the Communist Victory over the United States in the Vietnam War.
In the Vietnamese Communist War Remnants Museum (formerly known as the "War Crimes Museum") in Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), a photograph of John Kerry hangs in a room dedicated to the anti-war activists who helped the Vietnamese Communists win the Vietnam War. The photograph shows Senator Kerry being greeted by the General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam, Comrade Do Muoi.
Jeffrey M. Epstein of Vietnam Vets for the Truth acquired the photograph over the Memorial Day weekend as America was commemorating its military heroes. Epstein's organization, Vietnam Vets for the Truth, had issued a general request last week for photographs documenting Kerry's activities on behalf of the enemy. Bob Shirley, a Vietnam Swift Boat veteran (www.pcf45.com), sent the photograph to Epstein in response to that call. Shirley recently joined over 200 other Swift Boat veterans in signing an open letter questioning Kerry's fitness to serve as Commander-in-Chief.

And, this some how surprises folks. Go figure.
Boy, I'd love it if this one blew up in his face, hopefully after he accepts the nomination, I'd absolutely love it. Thanks for posting this one, I had heard some sketchy details on this yesterday, and now that I know where the info is, I can send it on!

Well, I'll be d*mned - Kerry was in Viet Nam!
Looks like a reflection off the glass from the red flag.
My guess it's an authentic photo. If it's fake, it's a good job, and they even faked the glass frame reflections.
Someone in the press needs to get Kerry "on the record" about this photo.
And ask the easy questions:
Senator Kerry, did you go to Vietnam in July, 1993, and met with Comrade Do Muoi, General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam?
Yes on no?
Get on it FOX news et al...
This would be easy for the press to check Kerry's travel records through the archives like the New York Slimes' data base. Someone in the press should have covered Senator Kerry's globe hopping travels. I did a quick search using Slimes' archive. The proof of Kerry's Vietnam visit could be in one of those 6 articles below:
