Taping Bump. Replaying in about 3-4 hours...
The audience seems a bit to the left.
The country was way left at the time
There really is an "invisible" line right there at Richmond. The line doesn't show up on any map, but it's actually quite visible, audible, and feelable when you cross it.
I hate Hanoi Kerry with my heart and soul.
Watching him in 1971 just brings it all back home.
F**K You Hanoi Kerry!!!
I spent 3yrs on a destroyer in the Navy from
'66-'69 as a Gunners Mate, GMG3.
USS CORRY DD 817 '68-'69 Gulf of Tonkin Yacht Club Member.
http://www.uss-corry.com/
Home port was Norfolk Virginia
and sailed with her in the North Atlantic,
Caribbean,(dealt with Cuban gunboats off of Havana in Jan '68)
thru the Panama Canal, across the Pacific to Viet Nam and back.
I was there the same time Kerry was.
I was there Oct'68-Apr'69 on the destroyer USS Corry DD-817
which supplied PCF's and PBR's
and provided gunfire and gunfire support
in North AND South Viet Nam.
My ship may have even supplied
Kerry's boat in the Mekong Delta
Although there are many similarities between naval gunfire support
and Operation Sea Dragon (which ended Nov '68), they differ in two important areas:
naval gunfire support is normally fired at the request of troops ashore,
while Sea Dragon's mission is the interdiction of supplies and destruction
of military targets; and naval gunfire support is always conducted in South Vietnam,
while Sea Dragon missions are fired only above the demilitarized zone.
29 US Navy ships received gunfire from Viet Cong shore batteries.
My ship DID not get hit by the VC.
In Feb '69 my ship was part of Operation Bold Mariner
which was the largest amphibious assault since Korea.
I was just gonna post this. Good, glad someone did. I`m taping it now.
Kerry running away from the media even then; O'Neil saying Kerry has refused to participate in a "dialogue" instead of a "monologue."
Trust me, there are a lot of hard working, moral people on the East Coast too!
Unfortunately, there are also a lot more of the stupid liberal people who keep voting for these idiots. Feel sorry for the good guys who have to deal with these rat politicians up here. :)
O'Neil answered about whether he had planned to be career Navy. Kerry took the chance to skip it and go on to the next topic.
He was "nuanced" even then.
can you say pompus ass.....this is killing kerry...you betcha
O'Neill is the hero.
Talk about your effin' girlie man.
I, for one, will never forgive this pig for leading this capitulation movement.
"Vietnam vets for a continued war"?
cheapshot! and the audience ate it.
Hey john tell us how good Vietnam has it now that we are gone.
tell the 400 christians Killed for praying this thanksgiving! well John?
Kerry not anwering O'Neil's question about what he claimed to have seen in Nam...the atrocities..."why didn't you do something about them?" O'Neil asks.
Kerry wanted immunity for them all. According to the transcript on the SwiftVets site, he said he doesn't want any more Lt. Calleys. He wants the investigation to go all the way to the top.
Kinda sounds like the investigation into Abu Ghraib, don't it?
Comrade Kerry has always been an arrogant puke
what a jackass
Me either. I can't say what I usually say about him here at the house. I know you know what I mean.
F**K You Hanoi Kerry!!!
You F*****G Liar!!!
O'Neil being repeatedly asked by Kerry: "You never burned a village?" O'Neil said "No; absolutely not."
