The Democrat National Committee has prepared a full-scale assault against the Vietnam Veterans for Truth to draw their character and veracity into question, according to one anonymous source inside the DNC. The campaign of character assassination is scheduled to coincide with the release of the book Unfit for Command which reveals inconvenient facts for the Kerry campaign.
“We have prepared what we call ‘Brown Books’ that contain damaging military records, personal credit histories, medical histories, psychiatric histories, divorce records, you name it,” our source told us. The “Brown Books” are so-called because of their distinctive plain brown covers, which contain no words. Some books have already been delivered to Kerry-friendly reporters. Others are on their way, our source told us. When asked if we could have a copy, our source declined, saying there is a limited number of “Brown Books” and they have been carefully inventoried to control in whose hands the books ended up.
Ultimately the “Brown Books” will end up in the hands of pro-Kerry news agencies and reporters. According to our source, who demanded to remain anonymous for fear of retribution, The New York Times is already on the hook to run a negative series on the Vets, as is the Boston Globe, which is owned by the Times. (Editor’s Note: The Globe has already been caught attempting to attack the veracity of George Elliott, Kerry’s commanding officer in Vietnam.)
In addition, the DNC has deployed a six member team from their press shop whose sole responsibility will be to spin and counter-spin stories about the members of Vietnam Veterans for Truth with pro-Kerry media entities, like the Times.
When asked if this was just another example of John Kerry slandering Vietnam Vets – like he did in 1971 as a member of the Vietnam Veterans Against the War – our source snapped, “No! This is warfare. The only way we’re going to get out of this is to force everyone to question their motives and credibility.”
“If they want to spread rumors and stories about John Kerry, we’ll spread rumors and stories about them. And some of the things they did in Vietnam were a lot worse than what they say John Kerry did,” our source concluded ominously.
Stay tuned. We will keep you posted as this nasty story develops. Posted on Sunday, August 08 @ 14:36:36 EDT by admin
I suspect they might have turned some folks ex wives. Soros and Teresa have a lot of money.
I think Kerry's divorce records should be made public.
Kerry's push to unearth everything about these fellas should put pressure back on him to release his full military record and his divorce records.

Nobody knows if the DNC has got any IRS records, psychiatric records etc.
Just as lonevoice wrote in #167 this is a mind game. They may have and they may not have.
But if it was you that had to risk your personal history to be misrepresnted all over NY Slimes front page, would you dare take the risk?
It is a powerful threat - but I hope the Vets dare face down the Dems. I think it would backfire tremendously if they actually did attack individual veterans.
But once again the "old guard" will have to bear the burden of defending the nation.
I haven't read all of the posts; this may have already been posted.
I heard someone named "Lorraine" call in to Michael Medved Friday afternoon. You may have heard her calls before. A real ranter, this liberal lady! She sounds somewhat like Maxine Waters. Anyway, she said she had seen something the DNC had ready to put out to discredit these vets and it would make them look bad. This may be what she was referring to.
The leftist media is so shallow. Does anyone remember them doing this to the "9/11 widows" who threw around wild accusations and unrealistic "what I would have done if I known" garbage at the 9/11 hearings? What's that? Crickets? Of course, because they were on the side of the left. No need to dig up dirt, which everyone has, on them since they sing the tune of the left.
Just because a man who knew John Kerry didn't pay his electric bill on time one month or went through a short period of depression in 1979 does not negate what these men know of Kerry's character.
The media should look into the histories of the "Band of Brothers."
I'm with you! I donated as well and I will donate more, even during our financial cruch, if these rumors of leftist attack machines are true.
You forgot to add - "sKerry was asked to leave VN following his 3rd Purple Heart, by his fellow Officers' concern for their own safety".
Yeah, I think it's an attempt to intimidate these guys from speaking out. It is a really rancid display.
Shame ont he Left for this.
I hear you..we are in the crunch right now as hubby finishes up an equivalent to a masters in his field and is getting a business started at the same time. Wish we could do more financially because this is what "our side" needs right now to counter Hollyweird and the Soros/Heinz billions.
Lock and load!
The Democrats and their news media pimps are not even trying to hide the fact that they want to tear our country apart. Ironic, that us Vietnam era vets will have to fight once more against those who wish to destroy us. American Democrats/socialists are truly evil. I'm now pissed.
I don't think that's true.
I think Kerry planned to cheat and get 3 PHs to bug out early the minute he hit Nam.
"Damn skippy. I want Teresa's tax records and Kerry's war records."
And Kerry's medical records (I want to see the scars from all those war wound for which he received the (3) Purple Hearts). And how about a look at Kerry's divorce records from his first wife.
Boy do we want to see those. Kerry is a fraud and a shameless rat. He needs to be exposed!!
I don't know what it will do, but I think the truth is important.
That said, if it turns out to hurt Bush....it should cease immediately when that is determined.
The Bush campaign will be fousing on Kerry's Iraq flip-flops and his poor Senate record at the convention.
We will see what the SwiftVets do I guess.
I think their message is important.
No. he/she/it demanded to remain anonymous because that sort of threat is blackmail. The civil suit and request for injunction would be filed tomorrow. Discovery would not be a lot of fun, and the RICO suit against the Kerry campaign and the DNC would follow shortly thereafter. It is smoke-blowing. Write Joseph Sandler, the DNC general counsel and find out whether he as advised the DNC on the legality of this.
"Some books have already been delivered to Kerry-friendly reporters."
I thought that reporters are not biased. However could a reporter be "kerry friendly"?
I'm devasted!
Bill from Nutley
Bring it on you lowlife RATS. The backlash you will feel from Americans will be huge and in the end....you will lose.
You bashed these soldiers once....it's not going to happen again.
Ease up. The threat is highly illegal.
