Hanoi Johns ads no longer directly say he is a war hero, but they continue to use that picture of him wearing his medals alongside two of his band-aid brothers.
I still get a feeling of nausea when I see it.
I received an Email similar to the posted article a few days ago - and forwarded it to several ardent Hanoi John supporters. One immediately blocked me from sending him any Email, some were shocked and outraged and will now vote for Bush. Others wanted more information that I happily sent - his testimony before congress, links to Vietnam Vets against Kerry, Winter Soldier, etc. They to are now firmly in the Anyone But Kerry voting block.
Now, if enough people could be educated, aroused and angered maybe Hanoi John could be brought up on charges of treason and sedition by November
More on Kerry's Purple Hearts Not nearly as much a surprise as the fact that this was in the "The Forum" section in USA Today, one of the more liberal left wing rags.
"Criticism of Kerry's Purple Heart is just". 6-25-4
"Retired U.S. Army colonel David Hackworth defends presidential candidate John Kerry's Purple Hearts. He correctly notes that they are awarded for a wound that necessitates treatment by a medical officer and that is received in action with an enemy ("The meaning of a Purple Heart," The Forum, June 16).
I was commanding officer to whom Kerry reported his injury on Dec. 3 1968. I had confirmed that there was no hostile fire that night and that Kerry had simply wounded himself with an M-79 grenade round he had fired too close. He wanted a purple heart and I refused. Louis Letson, the base physician, saw Kerry and used tweezers to remove the tiny piece of shrapnel - about 1 centimeter in length and 2 millimeters in diameter. Letson also confirmed that the scratch was inflicted with our M-79.
We admire Col. Hackworth, but he, above all people, knows why it is unacceptable to nominate yourself for an award. It compromises the basic military principle that we survive together. To promote yourself is to denigrate your team. I hope Col. Hackworth will rethink his characterization of Kerry's swift-boat comrades as "grousers" passing pn "second-hand bilge." In our case, this is firsthand knowledge, and our integrity is unquestioned.
Kerry orchestrated his way out of Viet-Nam and then testified, under oath, before Congress that we, his comrades, had committed horrible war crimes. This testimony was a lie and slandered honorable men. We, who were actually there, believe he is unfit to command our sons and daughters."

A must read!
Thanks, Elkiejg.
Youve got that RIGHT!
In addition, many of the current revelations like his lifestyle, mistress, un-Americanism, family origins, etc., etc., etc. -being left to the 'national' Press to ferret out- should have been been used to pound the table loudly over the last 18 years of his political life by the 'local' Press up there.
Excellent article, and my relative new tagline agrees!
FYI.
An excellent article that sums up the dangers of Hanoi John.
The book that Kerry wishes would just go away. |
HanoiJohnKerry.com is a blog with a primary purpose. That purpose is to counter the preposterous claims of Sen. John Forbes Kerry (D-MA) that he has any legitimate claim to any sort of "brotherhood" among combat veterans of the War in Vietnam. While it is generally supposed that his service as a Naval officer on a "Swift Boat" in that theater was adequate and honorable, there is much to question regarding his readiness to allow the accolade "war hero" to be applied to him. Likewise, it is not at all uncommon for more senior Naval officers to raise an eyebrow at the swiftness and relative comfort by which Lt. JG Kerry attained those medals, and who is available to vouch for the efficacy of his being awarded them (since, as boat commander, it would be his own task to make recommendation for awards for all personnel, including himself, on the Swift Boat). But most egregious was his conduct, words and associations upon his early-out (from SEA) return to the USA and discharge from the US Navy. His leadership role with the radical pro-Communist (inaccurate to deem this group "anti-war") group called "Vietnam Veterans Against the [Vietnam] War" (hereafter VVAW). |
It was while climbing the social and political ladder of the pro-Soviet Left as a principle of VVAW that John Kerry found his political soul-mate in Hanoi Jane Fonda. Granted, these politically formative years for Kerry were prior to the more outlandish acts of Fonda that earned her that name, but it is easily documentable that Fonda did not under go any radical transformation in belief or character from the time she and Kerry were working the same side of the street to the time she traveled to Hanoi, NVN and entered US history as the most overt traitor to ever NOT be charged, tried and executed. John Kerry went to his own overt extremes to demonstrate that, politically, socially and in lowness of character, there wasn't a nickel's worth of difference between he and Fonda. Thus, in the spirit of fairness and accuracy, we are reasonably certain that he will be agreeably flattered by calling him Hanoi John Kerry. |
Here, testifying before the Fulbright Senate Foreign Relations Committee, is where John Kerry, spokesman for Vietnam Veterans Against the War, cemented his position and moniker as "Hanoi John" Kerry. This was the occasion where US troops still in the field in Vietnam learned from one of their FORMER brothers-in-arms that they were heinous murderers and war criminals. HJK would now like to call on them for support in his bid to be the new Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces. Perhaps the most preposterous hypocrisy of all. |
Hugs and a BUMP!!!!
