NY Post readers weigh in on Kerry with letters to the editor.

Sample:

Thank you for reminding people that Kerry's award-winning performance in Vietnam was followed by his disgraceful slander of fellow soldiers — slander that was totally fabricated just to serve his political aspirations. As a Vietnam combat veteran, it is very disheartening to see an individual such as Kerry being revered, much less considered presidential material.

And hopefully the mass media will remind Americans of the lies that Kerry said before Congress in 1971. And his actions as a member of the Viet Nam Veterans Against the War!

The writer forgot to mention that he was born in the WEST WING before he was a war hero and then the Pres-to-be.

The good people of NY will shred Senator Kerry's reputation in the coming weeks. It might even be embarrassing ....

I gotta say, this Kerry for President thing is a sinking ship.  I'm going to get to work on the 2008 Democratic Nominee Campaign...

What I want to know is this:

What did Lt (jg) John Forbes Kerry do on the destroyer he was stationed on ( in the Veit Nam theater) to get him bounced to the swifties? I understand that he did not volunteer for the riverine force duty. Is there a personality flaw we, as voters, should be aware of? Did sKerry lack a key component in is ability to command?

These are certain points that should be hammered on by the Bush Campaign until answers are gotten. Until sKerry releases his complete military records, we will never know.

Kerry could have used his acceptance speech to apologize — or at least express some regret — for his slanders. Instead, he tried to rewrite history, depicting his Vietnam service as the proudest experience of his life.

THIS ARROGANT SELF-SERVING BASTARD IS INCAPABLE OF EVER SPEAKING THE TRUTH! This is a gross miscalculation.

He has the audacity to re-open the wounds his lies inflicted on a whole generation of Vietnam veterans and WE WILL ANSWER WITH A VENGANCE AND CONFRONT HIM WHEREVER HE SPEWS HIS LIES!

We will use this opportunity to expunge the filth of Hanoi John Kerry's lies from our lives FOREVER!

I saw a post that had a letter form kerry's commanding officer that said that kerry had requested a Purple heart for a scratch on his arm but was denied. kerry either bribed a clerk or officer to get his first Purple Heart. Officers in Viet Nam often put other officers in for decorations to get one for themselves from the other officer. Most officer decorations are in question because of kerry but the enlisted men did not get their share and often the officers took the enlisted metals!!

I wrote a letter thanking Mr. Fettmann for his column.

I suppose if O.J. Simpson were the Democrat nominee for president, the media would spend a whole week gushing about his football career and nothing he's done since.

There's another side to the story that's not being told and I can guarantee you the media would never let a Republican candidate get away with this level of fraud and deceit (oh, well, maybe with John McCain they might).

It also continues to amaze me why the Bush administration continues to let the terms of the debate focus on the 1970s. Hello! 30 years have passed. How 'bout debating what is going on now instead of what happened back when 8-tracks were popular?

Question:

If, according to Kerry's big bio buildup at the Convention, it is primarily his brief, 4-month stay in Vietnam that qualifies him for the Presidency (ignoring his 20-year record in the Senate)...

If 4 months in Vietnam make us trust him to be the leader of America and the free world...

Then, how is it that the man he chose to take the Presidency on a moment's notice--possibly as early as the day after Inauguration Day--has absolutely no military history to call upon, and no public service, except for his abyssmal desertion of the people of North Carolina during his own brief stint in the US Senate?

Do we dare question this contradiction in what he deems to be an important qualification? (And one he didn't think was important for Bill Clinton)

"Last spring, on "Meet the Press," he declared that he was "proud" of what he'd done, claiming he and his fellow activists, like Jane Fonda, "saved lives."


HOLY #&*($#%$*%^#!!! I JUST NOW heard him say almost verbatim the exact same thing...except he was on a microphone during the 1971 Soldiers Week of Protest.

This guy is a piece of work.

He's proving that no matter how he's slicked up his image and no matter how he tries to spin his anti-war/America past...that if you put a suit on a POS...all you have is a well dressed POS!

>> WATCHING last week's Democratic infomercial in Boston, one could be forgiven for thinking that John Kerry went straight from the Mekong Delta to the podium at the Fleet Center, with barely a stop in between.

Zell Miller brought up the same point, wondering if Kerry had been in the Witness Protection Program during that time.

My wife calls Kerry, "Rip Van Kerry", for the same reason.

Does anyone have documented proof of foreign support for the US Anti war movement of the 60's and 70's? I keep hearing that communist governments funded a kitty but I can't find the documentation.

But two journalists with strong anti-war credentials, Neil Sheehan and James Reston, later exposed "Winter Soldier" as a mass of fabrications by people who hadn't even been in Vietnam.

You have to wonder if that would happen today. Would anti-war journalists expose a fraud, or would they bury it?

Thank you for posting this, have sent it along to everyone on my email list.
My husband was in Nam a lot longer than Kerry's 4 months and never saw any of these terrible things going on.
Kerry is sick, sick, sick.
