Kerry defends his '70s anti-war activities

Yep. Let the Swift Boat Vets speak. Let's hear the other side of the story. Someone is lying. Kerry's military records would clean it all up for everyone. That's not too much to ask. Bush released his

This seems so obvious. Get the facts out and let the chips fall where they may. And yet the media is so concerned about who financed this and who leaked that. I always thought that it was the facts that mattered. I guess I am naive.

John F(for Fail)Kerry, running on a 35 year string of bloated lies has yet to surprise me yet.

However I do support his wife in her independence and bold stand on womens rights!

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

OK, hundreds, maybe thousands, maybe more died, but you learned a lot. I guess that's the important thing.

He learned the BIG lesson. No accountability for Dems. (Ted taught that lesson in 1969)

Meant to be tongue in cheek but it is too close to the truth. Each and every day I feel more the fool. "Lie after lie after lie," to quote Kerry's mentor. And they get away with it. Every damned time! They believe we are stupid. Those of us who know they are lying have nothing behind us to hold them accountable.

I want my country back.

In my Opinion...

It Appears that Mr. Kerry's Vietnam War "Crimes" and his Post Vietnam War "Crimes" against TRUE AMERICAN HEROES and THE United States of America are...

TOTALLY INDEFENSIBLE.

A Thought to Ponder...Why? Wasn't John Kerry brought Up on Charges of Misconduct and Conduct Unbecoming an Officer... Back in the 1970's ?

Did Kerry have Congressional IMMUNITY from Prosecution?

Is there a Statute Of Limitations for filing Charges?

Mr. John "F"'n Kerry...YOU HAVE A LOT TO ANSWER FOR!

SHAME, SHAME, SHAME ON YOU AND THOSE WHO SUPPORT YOU.

YOU ARE TRULY UNFIT TO BE A HUMAN BEING...AND MUCH LESS CAPABLE TO COMMAND...ANYTHING BUT AN ANT COLONY.

MY PRAYER:

DEAR LORD GOD...Our Lives and Freedom are at stake.

PLEASE PROTECT AMERICA BY KEEPING JOHN KERRY AND HIS DEMON-RAT MINIONS OUT OF THE WHITEHOUSE!

LORD, we ask You to Help President Bush and Vice President Cheney to Finish Unto TOTAL VICTORY over our EMENIES.

In The NAME That Is Above ALL Names,

Amen ~ and ~ Amen.

The poodle and his kennel are whining. That's a good sign. Throw them a few medals.

[eleni121]

Excellent reminder.

[2 Kool 2 Be 4-Gotten]

Absolutely correct. Another thing that struck me is the juxtaposition of "I'm proud of what I did" with "I learned a lot". It's open to interpretation, but IMHO those two statements don't go together in this context. To me it's like he can't even keep his story straight within the confines of a brief paragraph.

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

He says it was 35 years ago, but it still is relevant. How can he lead our men & women? How could he condemn actions such as Army Pvt. England's when he is guilty of worse. BY HIS OWN ADMISSION!

It is like having Son of Sam preside over the Scott Peterson murder trial.

Why doesn't any of this matter?

[concerned about politics]

However I do support his wife in her independence and b(old) stand on womens rights!

We (Republicans) now have 30% of the womans vote. That's a big increase. Democrats have 30%, and the rest are "independent" (like the little dentist elf in the Rudolf movie that ends up in the land of lost toys).

LOL!!!

[Diddley]

But Jim Rassmann, who credits Kerry with saving his life in Vietnam...

I wonder how Rassman felt when Kerry was trashing him (among others) after Kerry returned to the U.S.?

.

Some people say that Kerry would not be a good military leader. I don't know.
He helped engineer our (U.S.) defeat in Vietnam. [/sarc]

[Use It Or Lose It]

Maybe the Sliver was one of those medals Kerry applied for himself, and the paper work snuck through the system like the others?)

Thought Rassman was the one who recommended Kerry for the medal.

[fhayek]

Sometimes I feel as if we all live in a Franz Kafka novel.

[concerned about politics]

Thought Rassman was the one who recommended Kerry for the medal.

I'm not sure. That wasn't mentioned in the interview.

I'd like to know more about Kerry's military career. It's odd he got all those medals in 4 months. It doesn't fit his personality at all. When 9/11 hit, he froze for 40 minutes!
The book will be out soon, and we'll have all the facts then.

[EGPWS]

Defending the indefensible.

How Kerry of him.

[Conspiracy Guy]

Either way, he lied on one or the other.

[WHBates]

Eating a cookie?????? LOL

[CyberAnt]

Exactly! That's an amazing piece of information.

For years, articles about Kerry "asking" to be relieved of his tour of Vietnam have been circulating.

Now we find out HE WAS TOLD TO LEAVE .. and now this makes total sense to me .. of course he was mad as any pompous liberal would be .. he was going to show them.

The guy's a traitor to America and there is no way he can be President of America.

[No Surrender No Retreat]

Scary Kerry has zilch for pride. Bush/Cheney 2004

[gilliam]

The audio of a recent interview is here:

"Kerry's Former Commanding Officer Asked Kerry To Leave Vietnam!"

If this is true, it explains why Kerry returned to the US just to knife is 'band of brothers' in the back.
