Ex-Kerry crewmate visits Florida cities (putting the "lies" to bed)

Damage control. I bet Kerry's camp is doing this in a lot of retirement areas.

[YaYa123]

Where have I been? Rassmun I knew about, but Kerry saved Sandusky's life too?

[Dog]

I caught that also.

[hobson]

That's just a pre-programmed response from a Kerry suppoter. "Quotes for Kerry Dummies" will be out soon.

[NonValueAdded]

It would be great to hear what this crewman has to say in an unscripted environment where the handlers can't have as much control. First and foremost, let's hear about the trips to "Cambodia." Even knowing who accompanies this guy will be instructive. Any chance there is a FReeper in the area?

[Cincinatus' Wife]

Oh! They're coming out of the woodwork.

Here's a bit from the Boston Globe (Letter to Editor)

GREEN WALL OF SILENCE.....We have all heard about the blue wall of silence, the belief within the law enforcement community that any officer who blows the whistle on another officer's misbehavior is a traitor and a cop hater. We hear stories about cops being pressured by other cops to commit perjury to cover up another policeman's misdeeds. It is a common theme in the news, on TV dramas, and in film.

As someone who served in the US Army from 1969 until 1996, I can attest to the green wall of silence that exists within the US military. Any service member who publicly exposes the misbehavior of another service member is immediately labeled a traitor to the country.....

Oh, absolutely, dude. Right after he beat the holy living poo outta Doctor Octopus. :)

"He will be here to answer any and all questions ..."

I wish someone would show up and read the part from Kerry's Senate testimony about the war crimes (beheadings, etc.) that he accused our GIs of systematically committing, and ask Mr. Sandusky whether Sen. Kerry's sworn testimony was the truth or a lie.

[I got the rope]

FReepers are in rare form today. LOL!

[finnigan2]

Knowing the bulldog mindset of some regular posters to this and other similar sites, by the time this clown gets up to speak, they will have given his entire military career a complete rectal exam and, if there are any holes in his story of service with Kerry, you can be sure it will be out there.
When you throw together a cover story, there's bound to be facts that have been overlooked. Without the internet and it's search capability, these people would get away with these alibi's. Not anymore.

The Kerry camp is trying to keep his campaign from vanishing from sight. They're both speaking at the VFW annual convention - Bush Monday, Kerry on Wed. Only I think Bush's speech is going to be more interesting and news worthy.

_____________________________________________________

WASHINGTON, Aug. 14 — President Bush is to announce on Monday that he supports a Pentagon redeployment plan and will withdraw up to 70,000 troops from Europe and Asia in the most significant rearrangement of the American military since the end of the cold war, an administration official said Saturday.

The redeployment plan itself was first reported by The New York Times in early June.

Mr. Bush will also announce in a speech on Monday to the annual convention of the Veterans of Foreign Wars in Cincinnati that the withdrawal will affect an additional 100,000 military support staff and family members, who will leave the regions as well.

Bump!

He began his second tour in spring of 1968 and John Kerry came onto the swift boat in January of 1969.

Is this just another lie??

"He will be here to answer any and all questions about the man who saved his life and whose life he saved," said Bob Van Heyde, a local Kerry supporter.

Perhaps some local, or not so local, Freepers could send some documentation to members of those three organizations Sandusky will be visiting, arming them with both the imformation we, and others have, and some to the point questions?

??? New chapter in the Mitty tale?

[Cincinatus' Wife]

Bump!

[AmericaUnited]

The Alston Timeline (Captain Ed's Alston Never Served Under Kerry Followup)

Florida Freepers should pin him down about the truth of Alston NOT serving under Kerry.

[KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle]

Is this just another lie??

How dare you question the wartime exploits of John Effin' Kerry and Del "Who?" Sandusky: THE WONDER TWINS!

Kerry may have become OIC of PCF 93 on January 30, at the earliest. So it might not be a lie.

But, unless I'm misreading the dates, the first February after-action report for PCF 94 (still available on Kerry's website --- download it while you can!) is on February 13. And Kerry's old boat, PCF 44, was involved in operations in the interim.
