So what was the actual connection that the national Democratic office had with Kerry? Kerry was the public spokesperson and national chairman of the Vietnam Veterans Against the War. At the request of the Rhode Island Young Democrats, Weiner had invited Kerry to speak, urging youth voter registration, at the Rhode Island Young Democrats' convention in Providence on February 12, 1972. Kerry accepted and spoke as documented in the Providence Journal of Feb. 13, 1972. Kerry also in a news availability there called for Nixon's impeachment as later did the House Judiciary committee by a 28-10 vote before Nixon resigned.

Kerry Involved in 1971 Anti-war Plot to Assassinate U.S. Senators?
U.S. Veteran Dispatch
August 8, 2004
Thomas H. Lipscomb, writing for the New York Sun reported March 13, 2004, that in 1971, the pro-Hanoi anti-war group that presidential candidate John Kerry was principal leader and spokesman of debated and voted down a plot to assassinate U.S. Senators who supported the Vietnam War. Numerous media outlets claim witnesses and FBI documents conclusively place Kerry at that
November 1971 meeting of Vietnam Veterans Against the War (VVAW) in Kansas City.
==========
Kerry, during the Primaries, said he had quit the VVAW before the KC meeting. Per the US Newswire release, he was still associated with VVAW as late as February 1972--three months AFTER the KC meeting (as documented by the FBI files).
Kerry also denied being in KC by saying he appeared on William Buckley's weekly problem aired during the timeframe of the KC meeting.
While that is true that the Buckley/Kerry interview aired during that KC timeframe, records show that interview was taped 3 weeks earlier than its air date.
Another Kerry attempt to deceive.
=========
The more scrutiny on Kerry's past, the more we find, to quote Kerry's good friend and mentor, Senator Ted Kennedy, "lie after lie after lie after lie."
There were other plots and training going on inside the VVAW at the same time! One involved 20 former GI's training as snipers to decapitate the US Government, kidnapping officials and holding them hostage to force troop withdrawal from Vietnam. Running weapons to a radical group in Cario IL.
Kerry he claimed to be the head of the VVAW as late as Jan 1973!!!
We are forbidden by
Corbis to post the picture on FR, but if you do a search on kERRY NIXON (all caps except the first letter) at that site, it brings up the picture. If you click the photo to bring up the larger image it has the caption. It states the photo was taken January 24, 1973 in Lowell, Massachusetts. It identifies him as a Vietnam vet and head of Vietnam Veterans Against the War.
