During my 1971 televised debate with John Kerry, I accused him of lying. I urged him to come forth with affidavits from the soldiers who had claimed to have committed or witnessed atrocities. To date no such affidavits have been filed.
And he's talking about needing an exit date!!! Good grief!!!
ding, ding, DING, DING **
Clark Clifford
Where have we heard that heros name before???? /not
that's okay, in a few minutes, he's going to say there shouldn't be an exit date....before he says there should be an exit date....(again).
hey nic, you need to set up a new thread for that article - the man is even more admirable than I imagined! This information never came out before to this extent...

Then, watching him tonight, when he was only 27, I was amazed at his knowledge -- even then!
No wonder they are going ballistic over him!! This guy is GOOD! An orderly mind, sorted facts, and a cause. They rant and rave and try to overtalk him because that is the only weapon they have. More power to him!!!
He's brought it up about 20 times in this program. "Set a date".
good idea...i just checked quickly...doesn't appear to have been posted on FR yet.
O'Neill was 25 (even more impressive) ... Kerry was 27. O'Neill does indeed have his stuff together.
And he's talking about needing an exit date!!! Good grief!!!
Kerry's theory is you have to tell the people what they want to hear, not the truth. GW has stood his ground and told people that we can withdraw ONLY when the job is done. Dims take polls to determine what they will tell the public.
John Kerry, 1971: Dorkus Politicus Formativus. Does anyone else think that Hanoi John looks like a cross between Abe Vigoda and a young Jay Leno?
I did read somewhere that he had surgery to get rid of a clicking sound in his jaw due to a hockey injury.
KERRY:
"THERE WILL BE NO BLOODBATHE"
IF WE PULL OUT OF VIETNAM.
hey nic, you need to set up a new thread for that article - the man is even more admirable than I imagined! This information never came out before to this extent...
And let's hope it gets out even more. If his true character and past is fully exposed, GW will win by a landslide.
I caught the same comment!!!!
Amen!!!
He's been looking for somebody to surrender to all his life:
Kerry, given the honor of delivering the Class Day oration his senior year, tore up his original speech after it had been published in an official campus journal and delivered one with a sharply skeptical political tone. He criticized the Johnson administration for a military venture that did not advance the nation's vital interests and that effectively isolated the United States from the international community.
At first glance, this map shows that just south of Danang is "Non Nude Beach."
Maybe there would have been more volunteers for 'Nam if some of the teenage boys huddling under their covers with National Geographic and a flashlight got the impression that there was only one non-nude beach there.
Wow, John Kerry really DOES sound like Thurston Howell, doesn't he? : )
Makes one wonder what was "behind the scenes" on that slight of hand.
How did he know what the Vietcong would and wouldn't agree to?
