Heads Up: CSPAN will televise John Kerry's 1971 appearance before the Senate @ 8:00PM ET Tonight

CSPAN ^ | 8/26/2004 | self

[kellynla]

I heard on Bill Bennett's radio show this a.m. that CSPAN will televise John Kerry's 1971 appearance in it's entirety before the Senate at 8:00PM tonight.

The Dems are imploding. Have you noticed recently that when the Dem talking heads are being interviewed, they talk real fast and won't let anyone interrupt them. They change the subject and just keep rambling on and on. They are doing this more than they used to. They are throwing everything they have left in their bag of tricks. Really pathetic moves like Cleland going to Crawford, and the Kerry campaign asking Ashcroft to investigate 527 "abuses", etc. You don't see any of the Dems who used to be out there for Kerry speaking up for him any more, like Biden and Kennedy. Why? Because they know he has lost and they are trying to distance themselves from a loser. You only hear from non-politicians or political "has beens". The fact that Hillary is going to be in the spotlight for the Dems during the GOP convention tells me that the Dems have given up on 2004 and are looking toward 2008. It's over for Kerry. IMHO

Bump!
I hope you make this into a discussion thread this evening.

I hope you make this into a discussion thread this evening.
You're welcome to if you like but I'm usually not around the pc at that time...

[leadpenny]

Roger that! I may get home at about that time. I'll check the thread.

[Bahbah]

"Not much chance."

Zero chance, to my mind. However, I would relish the spectacle of them giving it a go.

[Right_in_Virginia]

Bill Sammon gave date, time and TV channel on F&F this morning ;-)

[kellynla]

so do we have the correct info?

[Right_in_Virginia]

Yes...according to Sammon it will air tonight at 8:00 on C-Span (see you there ;-))

[yellowhammer]

Can someone see if this can be made into an MPEG for easy distribution?

[tomnbeverly]

I'll tell you that before I started getting informed. I had no idea that John Kerry gave such testimony before congress. I think there is a huge base of independents and some Democrats that don't know the real John Kerry either. There has just been too much of this make-over Kerry out there and not enough of the real John Kerry. I think the swift vets are doing an outstanding job of getting the message out... Why isn't the majority of the press questioning John Kerry... When Will John Kerry give a Press interview?

Ramsey Clark to Join Panel for Saddam’s Defense

arabnews press release 25 August 2004

From Kerry's "The New Soldier":
Al Hubbard Sgt., 22 Troop Carrier Squadron Aug. ’65-June ’66

Emotions: Walking down the flight line at Saigon past stacks of aluminum cases containing American bodies and past stacks of aluminum luggage containing American currency. Seeing the tight, sad face of an Airman loading the bodies aboard a dirty Air Force Transport and the wide smiling face of a stewardess greeting the passengers aboard a clean Pan American Clipper Jet. Hearing a Vietnamese beg you to leave his country and an American colonel tells you to bomb his country. Hearing a Vietnamese invite you to live in his home, after the war and an American explain why you can’t live in his block, after the war. Flying over barren, brown, safe American held terrain and over lush, green unsafe enemy terrain. Feeling happy to be leaving a country in which you do not belong and sad to be returning to a country in which you are not allowed to belong. Sacrificing a portion of your consciousness so you won’t have to deal with being there and building mental blocks so you won’t have to deal with having been there.

- Al Hubbard, proven fraud who never set foot in Viet Nam. The only Vietnamese he ever met was when he was collaborating with the North Vietnamese in Paris
on the American Communist Party's nickel.
John Kerry's explanation: "He (Hubbard) simply exaggarated his particular position.
But nobody knew it at the time. And those things happen."

Kerry hopes everyone

NEW:
“Without question,
we were held captive longer
because of the anti-war people,
the Kerrys, the Fondas and Haydens,
the names we knew over there -
they encouraged the enemy to hang on.”

Any bets on when Drudge will have the siren up?

"Kerry/Edwards suing CSPAN to stop broadcast of 1971 appearance before the Senate. Kerry spokesperson, Beth Cahill says: "We can no longer let the facts get in the way of debate on the issues."

[americanmother]

Thank you for this info. I love FR I am becoming addicted. Like with Rush once a conservative gets on FR it is hard to do anything else. Thank you again.

[kellynla]

I only wish "The New Soldier" could be published again...now that would definitely the final "nail in the coffin" for Kerry!!!

I'm amazed that C-span is televising it -- this won't be good for Kerry, I hope.
