Galante accusing Kerry of aiding and abetting enemy.
Don't know how many Vietnamese, but more than 14,000 of our young men died AFTER J F'in Kerry's testimony to the Senate. Their blood is on his hands.
I just watched the interview; Holy crap! I'm glad I'm not JF'n K. Pretty damning stuff.
Powerful stuff, and again, Galanti, is like O'Neil, calm and reasonable. But oh my...devastating for K.
I believe the number of people murdered in Viet Nam, Cambodia, and Loas is approx. 1,800,000.........not counting the camps where the professionals were put to farming, etc. Untold numbers perished in the waters......boat people.
I'm in complete agreement. Didya ever think that we might actually see someone worse than Carter, Klintoon, or G(B)ore?
Active Navy reserves? Inactive?
Kerry's soul can never be redeemed.
Tearing up just reading about it.......D@mmmmmmmmmmmmm him! I hope sKerry can't sleep for nights!
Then this these Swift Boat Proximity Photos need to be distributed to the media. Copy it, paste it, and forward it! That talking point does not apply in any way.
I think he misspoke then. I believe they were tortured when the North Vietnamese played Kerry's senate testimony. I think the pressure of the show got him confused. It happens to regular folks.
"Would love to see Mr. Galanti go on Crossfire or Scum, er Hardball, but doubt that will happen. Those cowards Carville and Piss, er Chris Matthews wouldn't dare try to abuse him."
I think they would. It would backfire on them, but I think they would get ugly even with this guy. I also don't know whether the Swifties will subject him to that. O'Neill, O'Dell and Gardner are toughened, but I think Mr. Galante isn't toughened to that.
Colmes was looking extremely depressed at the end of that segment. He did manage to get in a shot at G.W. while advertising for the next segment.
I'm appreciative of what Mr. Galanti said tonight about how kerry's actions affected them in the war. How many people have been making the point that what the Liberals have been saying is harmful to our men and women across the world? People like Mr. Galantic are pointing out just harmful their selfish political actions can be.
Here is the kind of liar that Kerry is:
Kerry titles his book "Tour of Duty" for his service in Vietnam. He also claims that he had TWO tours of duty in Vietnam (because of his time on the USS Gridley).
Kerry twists the truth so much; you have to watch EVERY WORD HE SAYS. He will lie to you and weave a story (lie) so subtly that you are unaware that he is taking you down the prim-rosed path until it is too late.
Here is the truth as compared to Kerry's lies. KERRY NEVER EVEN SERVED ONE TOUR IN VIETNAM. HE IS A LIER.
Yes he was in Vietnam (for 4 months) and yes he was on the deep-water coast of Vietnam on the USS Gridley (for 5 weeks) but he did not serve a tour in Vietnam.
A Tour in the Nam was 12 months, one year, 365 days, one circle around the sun. Guys would count down the days until their time was up. It was a big deal. When you only had a few weeks to go until your year was up, you were "SHORT", going home soon.
This issue is important for this reason. John Kerry knows that he didn't serve a Tour, let alone TWO Tours, yet he brazenly reports that he did, he lies. Kerry seems to lie about almost everything. That's my point. He cannot be trusted.
One might argue 'Well, the time that Kerry spent in Nam was HIS tour, so what is the big deal". If that is your argument then Kerry should have named his book "My Time in Nam" or something. Not lie and give the impression that he spent a tour in Nam. AND, there is NO excuse for his claim for TWO TOURS in Nam, my God. What a liar.
As far as Unfit for Command is concerned, I have read it. The Swifties could give a crap less if John Kerry got medals, their issue is the same as what I explained above (and the fact that Kerry smeared their good name with his lies) and that is that Kerry cannot be trusted. He is unfit for command.
Kerry embellished (lied) in his after action reports to get medals that he didn’t deserve. He lied when he came back from Vietnam when he spoke before the Senate Intelligence Committee when he said that his fellow Vietnam Veterans committed atrocities. He has never provided any proof that his accusations were true, and in fact now admits that his accusations were “over the top”. Over the top! They were lies!
POW’s who were in North Vietnam prison camps when Kerry was telling his lies to the Senate and the American public were tortured and threatened to be tried as War Criminals and “would never go home” because of Kerry’s lies. Kerry’s lies are unforgivable.
General Vo Nguyen Gaip , the Commanding officer of the North Vietnamese Military and Bui Tin who served on the General Staff of the North Vietnam Army and received the unconditional surrender of South Vietnam on April 30, 1975 both claim that North Vietnam was poised to negotiate a surrender because of the Communist’s military failures during the 1968 Tet Offensive and thereafter. But because of the Anti-War movement in America (led by John Kerry and his lies) they felt that the Demonstrations “gave us confidence that we should hold on in the face of battlefield reverses."
America was kicking the Communist’s butt in every battle. General Westmoreland had the Communist’s number and was winning the war. America’s pullout of Vietnam was due to Kerry and his group of Demonstrators. Kerry’s lies played a very significant part in causing America to lose the war in Vietnam.
Because of John Kerry and others like him there are more names on the Vietnam Memorial in Washington D. C. than there otherwise would have been. There was also the slaughter of a few million South Vietnamese when America pulled out that is attributable to John Kerry and his lies. John Kerry has blood dripping from his lies.
When I returned home to Las Angeles from Vietnam in 1971 my head was spinning as I walked through the Terminal at LAX, thinking about the culture of war that I had just left while looking around at the opulence of America. When I stepped outside onto the sidewalk a group of “Longhairs” walked by and one of them spat on me while the others called me a “Baby Killer”. The treatment that I received, and have lived with for the past 33 years, was due to John Kerry and his lies.
John Kerry does not have the moral integrity, honesty, or judgment to be the Commander-In-Chief of the world’s most powerful military. John Kerry is unfit for command
From the Swift Boat Vets book:
3.5 million people estimated to have died in communist purges at end of Vietnam war.
including 2.5 million in the killing fields of Cambodia
Laos has had whole people's eliminated
1.4 million refugees who made it to the US
and 10s of thousands of boat people perished in the seas trying to escape
p.18
Every time I hear that "Jenjis Khan" I cannot help but be ill. I know that it is a small point, compared to the bigger picture, but his pretentiousness is sickening.
show business
See post 35
He said on this afternoon's Hannity radio show, which was a more detailed interview, that that was a misquote the SF journalist made. He said he was not tortured with Kerry's actual words, but that they were tortured and told they were war criminals, as Kerry had alleged. He did say that Kerry's speech was played over loudspeakers to the POWs.
On special report today they said the Kerry campign decided to put people who more use to tv on their instead of the band of brothers.
