From “Unfit for Command,” p. 123 - 124:
Ion Mihai Pacepa, the highest-ranking Soviet intelligence officer to defect to the West, spoke out in June 2004 about the KGB intelligence operation that he believed was the basis for the assertions of war crimes and atrocities at the heart of John Kerry’s 1971 testimony to the Fulbright Committee.
For Pacepa, the case was clear. John Kerry’s 1971 accusations of war crimes in Vietnam sounded to him just “like the disinformation line that the Soviets were sowing worldwide throughout the Vietnam era.” The KGB had as a top priority the damage of American credibility in Vietnam. To this end, the KGB spend millions producing “the very same vitriol Kerry repeated to the U.S. Congress almost word for word and planted it in leftist movements throughout Europe.”
According to Pacepa, Yuri Andropov, then chairman of the KGB, ordered agent Romesh Chandra, the chairman of the KGB-financed World Peace Organization,, to create the Stockholm Conference on Vietnam as a permanent international organization “to aid or to conduct operations to help Americans dodge the draft or defect, to demoralize its army with anti-American propaganda, to conduct protests, demonstrations, and boycotts, and to sanction anyone connected with the war.” The Communist Party was funding the World Peace Organization to the tune of about $50 million a year at this time, according to Pacepa, with another $15 million allocated for the Stockholm Conference on Vietnam. In the five years of its existence, the Stockholm Conference “created thousands of ‘documentary’ materials printed in all the major Western languages describing the ‘abominable crimes’ committed by American soldiers against civilians in Vietnam, along with counterfeited pictures.” The KGB’s disinformation department manufactured these materials, and KGB operatives in Europe and American printed up and distributed hundreds of thousands of copies.
Whether Kerry knew it or not, his 1971 testimony to the Fulbright Committee was reciting the Communist Party line chapter and verse. Pacepa left no doubt as to his conclusion: “As far as I’m concerned, the KGB gave birth to the antiwar movement in America.”
Kerry is a traitor. The book is tragic. Tragic that we as a country let the liberal media and Kerry lead the effort to debase the communist argument and our proud, brave soldiers.

John Kerry`s Anti-Gun Record
Tuesday, August 10, 2004
JOHN KERRY WANTS TO BAN GUNS IN AMERICA
John Kerry’s 20-year U.S. Senate voting record opposing Second Amendment rights brands him as the most anti-gun presidential nominee in U.S. history!
HERE’S PROOF
FACT: Kerry has voted nine times in favor of banning semi-auto firearms. 1
FACT: Kerry has voted to ban most center-fire rifle ammunition, including the most common rounds used by hunters and target shooters.2
FACT: Kerry has voted to close off hundreds of thousands of acres of the California Mojave Desert to hunting.3
FACT: Kerry has voted to hold the highly regulated American firearms industry legally responsible for the illegal acts of violent criminals.4
FACT: Kerry was one of only 15 Senators to oppose the Firearms Owners’ Protection Act, which ended alarming abuses being committed under the 1968 Gun Control Act.5
FACT: Kerry was one of only 29 Senators to vote to prohibit gun manufacturers from discharging debts created by the reckless lawsuits filed by municipalities.6
FACT: Kerry has voted to allow BATF to conduct unlimited, warrant-less inspections of FFL holders.7
FACT: Kerry has voted to criminalize legal sales between private individuals at gun shows.8
FACT: Kerry has voted against increasing mandatory minimum and maximum penalties for the illegal transfer or use of a firearm. And yet he has also voted to impose penalties of a year in prison and a $10,000 fine on an adult if a juvenile steals a firearm from him, and then merely displays it in a public place.9
FACT: Kerry has voted to force many small firearms dealers out of business, which would have impacted both the availability and price of guns, particularly in rural areas.10
FACT: Kerry has voted 11 times to force law-abiding citizens to wait to exercise their Second Amendment rights. He voted to keep the federal waiting period after the National Instant Check System was in place.11
FACT: Kerry voted twice to eliminate the Civilian Marksmanship Program.12
FACT: Kerry wants to silence gun owners’ voice. When NRA sought the same exemption from campaign finance rules that news organizations have, Kerry called that effort “hijacking America’s airwaves.”13
FACT: Kerry commended the Million Mom March for their march on Washington that included calls for gun owner licensing, gun registration and other restrictions on law-abiding gun owners.14
FACT: Kerry twice supported legislation that would have mandated the inclusion of trigger locks with any handgun sale, forcing individual gun buyers to purchase products they did not necessarily want or need.15
FACT: If elected president, Kerry will pack the U.S. Supreme Court with Dianne Feinstein/Chuck Schumer/Ted Kennedy-selected anti-gun activists who believe you have no right to own any firearm.
FACT: Senator John Kerry has a 100% voting record with the Brady Campaign (formerly Handgun Control Inc.), a national gun-ban group.

So that is how Kerry and his group of filth got financing!
Unfortunately, labeling someone a red doesn't work too get much attention these days. Not likely to sway anybody, more likely to get you pegged as a nutball.
We need to say Kerry is collaborating with the Muslims and terrorists -- remember, it's the 21st century and we are living in a post-Reagan world.
"Kerry was a dupe and tool "
NO! Kerry was and is a self-serving POS communism lover because it gave him the most power.
He knew exactly what he said and he kne where he got the exat words to say and who gave them to him and what the reason was --- the destruction of the the Republic of the United States of America and the emergence of the leftist led United Socialist States of Amerika - the U.S.S.A.
From today's news:
And as for suggestions that Rumsfeld should step down, Schlesinger declared: "His resignation would be a boon to all of America's enemies."...
So Schlesinger states that Rumsfeld's resignation would hurt America and Kerry immediately calls for said resignation. This man HATES America!
NO! Kerry was and is a self-serving POS communism lover because it gave him the most power.
He knew exactly what he said and he kne where he got the exat words to say and who gave them to him
Even underthe charitable theory that he was a dupe and a tool, he is unfit for command.
