[Fedora]

He was still in the Reserves until 1978.

[Howlin]

I don't have any idea how it's edited or why it's edited the way it is.........interesting though.

[LisaFab]

Some of it was filmed by NBC and some recorded by Pacifica Radio. They have patched it together.

[Right_in_Virginia]

"We are more guilty than any other body of not following the Geneva Convention."

Damn him.

[mylife]

Kerry seems to think that if we dont FIGHT for what we BELIEVE in , all the hurt in the world will go away.


What a yutz

[Don'tMessWithTexas]

Talking about racism in the military. Hypocrisy of war crimes. A litany of atrocities. Now referring to the Indian reservation of Alcatraz!

[ken5050]

Do you recall Kerry ever attending any ceremonies at the Wall?

[Howlin]

Yes, he was.

[Bahbah]

"How can he say the returning soldiers weren't wanted?"

I've said this before here at FR. When I saw our POW's come back, come off those planes, I stopped and stood still everytime there was a plane and they came off, and I loved them and didn't move again until they were all off and the segment ended.

"Because we CANNOT fight communism all over this world, and I think we should have learned this by now.

John F. Kerry, 1972

Struck a nerve with me as well, but I believe he said "learnt" instead of learned ... the pompous @ss.

[McGavin999]

What an arrogant creep. He just goes on and on and on. Just loves the spotlight, doesn't he?

This is making me physically sick.

[MJY1288]

For 33 years now I get pissed off everytime I'm reminded of this scumbags testimony

[Howlin]

"I called the media. . . . I said, 'If I take some crippled veterans down to the White House and we chain ourselves to the gates, will we get coverage?' 'Oh, yes, we will cover that.' "--John Kerry, testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, April 22, 1971

[Cate]

Uh John, its not just the government that wants to disown you, I'm in that line also....

[Don'tMessWithTexas]

Where are the leaders who sent them into battle. Says they deserted the men in VN.

Attempted to disown the VVAW

[sweetliberty]

Ooooo....this does not bode well for John F'n.

[NewLand]

"Hey Johnny Boy, you can
start lickin' down here on
November 3rd..."

[TheLion]

This guy should have been tried for treason, just on the basis of these remarks!

[68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub]

I Hate You Hanoi Kerry!!!!
