Kerry'a manifestations are similar to Clintoon recalling the churches burning in Arkansas- but the press never really caring that there were no churches burning.. it's the seriousness of the recall! Reporters for the Dems only report what is said to them- if we deny that it is truth- we are ATTACKING them....

A revealing incident about John Kerry that shows what this man’s character is about is the section in John Kerry’s autobiography about Christmas in Cambodia 1968. During that time Cambodia was a neutral country and it was a violation of international law to conduct operations and wage a war in Cambodian territory. Kerry tells a story in great detail in his autobiography “Tour of Duty” about being sent to conduct operations in Cambodia on Christmas Eve 1968. He later tells the same tale on the floor of the Senate. During the telling of this Christmas tale about being ordered to conduct illegal operations in Cambodia in 1968 he demonizes Richard Nixon. He was a young lieutenant following orders from an immoral Commander in Chief and his superior officers that passed the order on to Lt. Kerry. He knew it was wrong but dutifully followed orders. He goes on to claim that this incident was a turning point in his life. It was an incident that led him to oppose Richard Nixon and the entire Viet Nam War.

There are two flaws in this story. The first flaw in the story is the steadfast denial by any member of Kerry’s unit that they ever got within fifty miles of Cambodia. The revealing fact about Kerry’s character is while he demonized Nixon for ordering him to conduct the illegal operation on Christmas Eve 1968; Richard Nixon would not take office for three more weeks. Lyndon Johnson was President of the United States on December 25th 1968.

Do you think there is a possibility that John Kerry will make an apology to his superior officers, to his Senate colleagues and correct his denunciation of Richard Nixon? Probably not, John Kerry is a liar and an opportunist.

I think Kerry has convinced himself that the version of events included in his home movies and in his ghostwritten book are the way things actually happened. Through constant repetition and re-viewing, they have supplanted his actual memories. When he recounts the fictionalized versions, he is not lying, because this is what he really thinks happened.

Even without minimal investigation, a critical press should have been able to spot the story as a total fabrication: Richard Nixon did not become president of the United States until twenty-six days after John Kerry’s Christmas in Cambodia.

Oh, yeah. Of course it is not the truth. I was just saying that John F'n is not really lying because he has no idea what the truth is! He could probably pass a any polygraph you threw at him, because he has completely deluded himself.

Kerry also described, for example, for the Boston Herald his vivid memories of his Christmas Eve spent in Cambodia:

Kranish, in The Boston Globe, also mentions Kerry going into Cambodia.

To top it off, Kerry said, he had gone several miles inside Cambodia, which theoretically was off limits, prompting Kerry to send a sarcastic message to his superiors that he was writing from the Navy's "most inland" unit.

He is much worse than an opportunist. This type of machinations are pathological. I firmly believe that his whole purpose in going to VN for four months was to try to find "war crimes". when none were eveident, he created them, either in his mind or by his own hand. then returns to become a hero in the Hate American movement. Hilliary was helping the black Panthers, Bill was running around in Eu. These people now have control of the Dumocrat Party. It truely is a good vs evil election.

I don't think he's deluded, I think he knows exactly what he's doing.

Well the difference is that this time, the men that fought the VN War are speaking up. they have every right to be heard, just as much as the 9-11 Families.

They have been defamed and slandered by this worthless gigilo. But, don't ever underestimate, TAHRAAAsa money or the idiot media.
