FYI ..
More of Kerry's words coming back to Haunt him
Oh, here's a neat little research project for a journalist (haha). I wonder if anyone can search old Stars and Stripes issues, and cross reference them with Kerry's missions in '68, and see if they:
A. Really did report on his missions
B. Really did exaggerate the totals, by comparing the relevant documents from Kerry's records (those that are available.
Might be interesting....
Exactly what the SwiftBoat Veterans for Truth have been saying all along.
Thanks, Michael. That jives with what I thought and with common sense. I agree with you that an Annapolis graduate and former clerk to a Supreme Court Justice has probably got lots more arrows in his quiver.
Can't wait to see what emerges next.
Just a professional politician in his early years!
Did you hear the former Bush campaign lawyer last night on CNN (I think)?
He dusted it up pretty well with Chris ?? the media moderator. He was blasting the media about their bias pretty hard.
I think the DNC and Kerry will come to regret that this guy is no longer busy working on the Bush campaign and will devote fulltime to the Swift Vets.
The voice, yes -- that was so striking to hear again, after all these years, and to note how affected it was.
You miss the key point about the voice, however -- he was affecting the Kennedy voice, which all ambitious Massachusetts democratic politicians did in those days.
As someone who lived in Mass at that time, I can tell you that it became comical at times -- you'd hear a politician speak and realize -- NOBODY except a politician speaks with that accent.
It became, in effect, not an accent so much as a mark of ambition, and a signal that you were willing to join the democratic club.
I think Kerry's decision to go to Boston College Law School was part of that implicit 'signaling' -- for Mass Dem politicians, BC has more "democrat" bona fides than Harvard, although Harvard carries more weight in the legal world.
A friend of mine was a Special Forces officer on missions to assassinate Viet Cong officers. Whenever anyone in his squad was smoking dope and he found out, they were taking to a shed and the living daylights were beat out of them by this officer. His men loved him! No doper was going to get them killed.
This seems like it's easily verified, or perhaps it's another provable lie.
Someone wasn't manning the radar when the dems decided to pose Kerry as a war hero.
I've seen Ginsberg in other venues.....he's just awesome.
f-ing bump
Gosh !! It seems hard to believe that in WW11 they probably wrote about Audie Murphy in Stars and Stripes, but in the Viet Nam war, Stars & Stripes would leave out the heroic exploits
of schrapnel & War medal MAGNET kerry.....(how will the CHILDREN learn about him ???)
The SBV's neatly poked a hole in kerry's careful staging of his Viet service which he calculatedly plotted long ago in preparation for a prez run.
When he made his first run for office, he established so many different residencies in separate Cong districts to position himself for the best race, the joke was he needed a real estate agent, not a campaign manager.
I found this page from the PBS series The American Experience, and reading the transcript, it is remarkable how similar Lindbergh's views of WWII (as they are presented here) are to those of Pat Buchanan.
If sKerry so easily misjudged this, think how easy it would be for the UN, France, etc. to ensnare him in their webs of deceit.
Prairie
He sold out to North Korea back then .. How do we know he won't sell out again
Next time Kerry brings up the UN, I hope someone points out how effective the UN has been in Darfur.
