Galante accusing Kerry of aiding and abetting enemy.
I believe Judicial Watch has filed something against Kerry for War Crimes. Don't know any of the details.
Actually, when Cronkite called the Tet Offensive a WIN for NVA, there were only 10,000 American deaths. It's now been learned from NVA people that they were ready to surrender until they heard Cronkite's statement. They regrouped and kept hitting us. There are 58,000 names on the Wall in DC.
THESE DAMN DEMOCRATS HAVE A LOT TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR .. I THINK IT'S ABOUT TIME IT HAPPENS.
Very, very well said and powerful.
Which proves Colmes is a mind-numbed robot who only reads the DNC talking points and has no opinion of his own.
JW? Has Larry Clayman ever won a single suit out of the 100's he's filed? At least Edwards, scumbag that he is, had a winning track record as a womb-channeling bloodsucking bar-fly.
Hurley wasn't AF, he was an Army engineer. He organized the VVAW that Kerry joined.
Colmes is a gentleman, like old Tom Braden was on the original Crossfire program. They have to shill for their side, but they are still human in the process.
"Kerry's speech was played over loudspeakers to the POWs"
McCain claimed that too.
By Gene Kuentzler: The question raised by Gary Beaver, "Do you have any data on actual U.S. troops, by name who were killed as a direct result of Fonda's actions?" can be answered by reading the book written by General Giap, Commander of NVA forces. Giap clearly indicated that NVA troops were without sufficient supplies, and had been continually defeated time and again.
By 1968, NVA morale was at it's lowest point ever. The plans for "Tet" '68 was their last desperate attempt to achieve a success, in an effort to boost the NVA morale. When it was over, General Giap and the NVA viewed the Tet '68 offensive as a failure, they were on their knees and had prepared to negotiate a surrender.
At that time, there were fewer than 10,000 U.S. casualties, the Vietnam War was about to end, as the NVA was prepared to accept their defeat. Then, they heard Walter Cronkite (former CBS News anchor and correspondent) on TV proclaiming the success of the Tet '68 offensive by the communist NVA. They were completely and totally amazed at hearing that the US Embassy had been overrun. In reality, The NVA had not gained access to the Embassy--there were some VC who had been killed on the grassy lawn, but they hadn't gained access. Further reports indicated the riots and protesting on the streets of America.
According to Giap, these distorted reports were inspirational to the NVA. They changed their plans from a negotiated surrender and decided instead, they only needed to persevere for one more hour, day, week, month, eventually the protesters in American would help them to achieve a victory they knew they could not win on the battlefield. Remember, this decision was made at a time when the U.S. casualties were fewer than 10,000, at the end of 1967, beginning of 1968.
Today, there are 58,229 names on the Vietnam Wall Memorial that was built with the donations made by the American public. Although Giap did not mention each and every protester's name in his book, many of us will never forget the 58,229 names on the Wall. We will also never forget the names of those who helped in placing those additional 48,000 names there: Bill, Jane, Tom, Cronkite, and others.
Those of us who rotated prior to Walter Cronkite's report on "Tet-68" can clearly state, "We were still winning when I left!"

That means that they are keeping them silent in order to preserve the story. Which means it's all a lie.
I hav enoticed that, too. He sounds like a pretentious cross between Thurston Howell III and a 1940s film noir (there's that French again!) installment.
Now there's an excellent point. Why have a discussion with a Swift Boat veteran and a Democrat mouthpiece--two opposing Swift Boat veterans would be far more appropriate.
IIRC Kerry signed up for "Active Reserves" - but I don't know the time frame of that.
I had dinner with one of them a couple of times right after he came home. He told me about the communist piece of cr@p elected to the california legislature by the communists of santa monica tom hayden spit in his face in the hanoi hilton. You know who hayden is, hanoi jane's ex.
But .. if you ask them how .. they cannot explain. And nobody seems to ask them that questions.
I have no idea .. I don't follow them anymore.
Actors do it all the time.
He's a stooge. He's always been a stooge. He'll always be a stooge.
Someone told me that pronunciation is common in European countries.
He's either an effete, lying dupe or an effete, lying, pretentious dupe.
