Shoring up his base, the VC and the Hollywood crowd.
When Hurley first appeared on O'Reilly's "The Factor" a couple of weeks ago, he clearly stated that it was JOHN KERRY'S BOAT THAT HIT THE MINE! Yet no one has followed up on that claim! Hurley is so full of hate that he can't even see straight...
Yeah - the Vietnam War Veteran Generation were all war criminals guilty of acting like Genghis Khan and pulverizing a suffering people. Now onto the hangings.
I read that Kerry used the French pronunciation, but I don't know if the person who wrote that was kidding or for real.
I don't understand the problem with the ad. John Kerry said those things, and some people are explaining how his testimony made them feel.
If Kerry wants to counter the ad, let him run ads showing the entire quote so that everyone can see "the context" from which he was speaking.
Or, he can also allow someone to reprint The New Soldier so people can really get an in-depth look at Kerry's leadership in the Vietnam Veterans Against the War.
"Pretty good indication someone wrote the speech for him...."
Adam Walinsky?
Wonder how many 'atrocities' Kerry would have found during the French n Indian War
The Revolutionary War, The War of 1812, The American Civil War, World Wars I and II, and Korea
Naturally during the Vietnam War he never reported any of these 'so called' war crimes of our enemies...
He seems to always take the enemies side of reality....
Pretty much makes him....an more an allie of our enemies...more than a regular American
This alone should automatically disqualify him for citizenship in America..never mind running for the office of POTUS
Would be like hiring The Boston Strangler for a the job of massage therapist at cheerleading camp.
imo
If he says he lied in '71, he's toast.
If he says he told the truth in '71, he's toast.
Pass the butter, folks.
It's time for Lurch Toast.
"I read that Kerry used the French pronunciation...."
Yes, he did.
RUSSERT: "You committed atrocities."
KERRY: "Where did all that dark hair go, Tim? That's what I want to know."
- Meet the Press, April 2004.
Regnery Publishing has offered to reprint "The New Soldier" for free and Kerry's declined. What a coward.
Sounds like Tommy Franks is admitting to something himself. Least he could have done is take names and report the crimes later on ~ guess he thought his career was more important at the time.
If John Kerry had been president in 1941, he would probably have claimed that the soldiers at Pearl Harbor were war criminals since they fired back at the Japanese planes before Congress had declared war.
The story keeps changing with these guys.
The new story seems to be:
The lead boat of three on the left side of the river, hit a mine and was disabled. The two other boats on the left side of the river immediatly went to aid and protect the hit boat.
Kerry, on the right side of the river, went on ahead and then claims that he was hit by a different mine (or something) (but apparently it did not disable his boat as he continued in the same direction for some time).
Kerry then realized that someone had fallen overboard, and he returned to pick him up.
It would be interesting to see the damage reports on Kerry's boat.
Kerry was actually trying to pronounce it like they do in Mongolia. He still got it wrong, however. It pronounced Chingas phonetically.
"We will not quickly join those who march on Veterans' Day waving small flags, calling to memory those thousands who died for the 'greater glory of the United States.' We will not accept the rhetoric. We will not readily join the American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars-in fact, we will find it hard to join anything at all and when we do, we will demand relevancy such as other organizations have recently been unable to provide. We will not take solace from the creation of monuments or the naming of parks after a select few of the thousands of dead Americans and Vietnamese. We will not uphold traditions which decorously memorialize that which was base and grim."
--John F'ing Kerry
If I recall, Franks said atrocities occur in all wars. But this is not what Kerry has claimed. He testified in 1971 that such horrors were official POLICY, that it was officially sanctioned by the chain of command. That is a blatant lie and a slander. Kerry had the same mindset then as CBS had when it released the photos of abused Iraqi prisoners at Abu Ghrab, making the same leap in logic--suggesting that the abuse was widespread, was officially sanctioned, and that it most certainly went up the chain of command. The media, in fact, is pulling the same wool over the public's eyes concerning Iraq as it did regarding Vietnam--undermining the national will and subverting efforts to establish a successful democracy in the region.
I guarantee that if Bush wrote that book, every man, woman and child would have 10 copies by now. "The people have a right to know!"
That's exactly why Kerry will NEVER release his records. They don't back up his ever changing stories.
