Dick Cavett is still alive. His show was very popular. That is when Talk Shows were good.

You don't think "My transsexual stepdad married my 14-year-old prostitute sister!" is an improvement?

Check out the audience. You can see the amount of young people in the audience. I am positive 90% of them were anti-war college activists. That explains all the clapping for Kerry.

DD 214 shows 17 Feb 72 terminal date of Reserve Obligation for John Kerry

Kerry's anti war activities were doing this period!

What is Senator John Kerry's relationship to VVAW?

http://www.vvaw.org/faq/#4

Since Vietnam Veterans Against the War's inception in 1967, tens of thousands of vets, GIs and supporters have participated in and supported the actions of VVAW. One of those members in the early 1970s was John Kerry. Kerry was appointed to the VVAW Executive Committee to assist in preparing Dewey Canyon III, VVAW's limited incursion into the land of Congress in 1971 (Nicosia, 98-99). Kerry made his greatest contribution to the anti-war movement and to VVAW in his speech to the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations on April 23, 1971 (Brinkley, 371-373: Hunt, 109-110; Nicosia, 136-138; Wells, 495).

Content of the speech is found at:

http://lists.village.virginia.edu/sixties/HTML_docs/Resources/Primary/Manifestos/VVAW_Kerry_Senate.html.

By 1972, John Kerry had moved on from VVAW (Brinkley, 406: Hunt, 127-128; Nicosia, 211).

John Kerry's service in Vietnam lasted 4 months and 12 days, beginning in November 1968 when he reported to Cam Rahn Bay for a month of training. His abbreviated combat tour ended shortly after he requested a transfer out of Vietnam on March 17, 1969, citing Navy instruction 1300.39 permitting personnel with three Purple Hearts to request reassignment. So far as we are able to determine, Kerry was the only Swift sailor ever to leave Vietnam without completing the standard one-year tour of duty, other than those who were seriously wounded or killed.



The instruction, titled 1300.39, says that a Naval officer who requires hospitalization on two separate occasions, or who receives three wounds "regardless of the nature of the wounds," can ask a superior officer to request a reassignment. The instruction makes clear the reassignment is not automatic.

It says that the reassignment "will be determined after consideration of his physical classification for duty and on an individual basis." Because Kerry's wounds were not considered serious, his reassignment appears to have been made on an individual basis. Moreover, the instruction makes clear that Kerry could have asked that any reassignment be waived.

The irony on November 2 will be the vindication of Richard Nixon from those who so loathed him.

Kerry stupidly made Vietnam the centerpiece of his bio.

In his senate testimony back then, he was commenting that we could not expect to beat communism all around the world.

Thanks to President Reagan, we did.

I'm in NY with Hillary, ugh! I thought my blood pressure was out of hand when the results of that election came through. I still get a sick feeling in my stomach just thinking about it. Praying she will lose the next time around.

How the hell these people voted her in is a mystery to me. I have to think they must have cheated somehow to get her in. It can't be this bad :)

I bet you were glad to get out of Kennedy's state. ;)

He is even flipflopping on that tape.

He was DEMANDING a withdrawal date earlier [on the tape]. Now [current part of tape] his is AGAINST a withdrawal date.

Kerry made a BIG MISTAKE making the Vietnam war his centerpiece for his campaign. He will live to regret this BIG TIME. People (especially Vets) do NOT want to see a guy who was a Vietnam Vet being debated for taking an anti-war stance just to get his A$$ into congress.
