Speech was written by Adam Walinsky, USMC reserve, former legislative aide to Robert Kennedy.
But Kerry denied that in the debates that just replayed last weekend on CSPAN. Are you accusing him of....lying?
Yes, I have seen it written that Kerry "recruited" Walinsky to write the speech.
If I had wanted Walinsky to write a speech for me in 1971, I don't imagine that it would have been possible.
It's more likely that Walinsky recruited Kerry.
Interestingly, Walinsky was a principal author of the 1965 Immigration Reform Act, often attributed to Edward Kennedy.
Walinsky's hatred of America and her people must have been established at a very early age.
