I just can't get the image of Thurston Howell (Jim Bacus)from the TV series Gilligan's Island out of my mind whenever I hear Kerry.

Any idea why they aren't showing the actual testimony? Is there something wrong with the tape quality? Or is there some other reason? Why the still photograghs?

Exactly. He sounds like some pompous elitist pontificating to the great unwashed. With apologies to THIII.

Can't watch that. Last time I got so mad my wife called the EMTs. I can't even think about it without attaching every foul name I know to it, and that's a load with 5 languages to choose from.

Why wasn't this traitor arrested instead of being applauded? He committed crimes and admitted to it.

I turned the dammed program off when the CSPAN high-brow took a call from a 19 year old Kerry supporter, (sounded "Jamaican). The "student" said that everything Kerry said was true because his professor brought a jar of Viet Cong heads in a jar to class for show and tell. Either it was a very big jar or they were shrunken heads!

Yikes! No wonder I don't watch CSPAN or listen to NPR!

Good thing you turned it off. Now the topic is being led by Steve Therberge of the New York Civil Liberties Union giving instructions on how to protest. This is an honest to goodness classroom session on just how much you can get away with under the law.

"Why wasn't this traitor arrested instead of being applauded?"

The appplauds were from his VVAW buddies sitting in the gallery.

Isn't it just aggravating as heck to watch that. I can't stand to listen to the calls afterwards. Some of the people that call in are plain idiots.
John Kerry was still in the Naval Reserves when he gave that testimony. Shouldn't he have been tried to breaking the UMCJ? I think that testimony was treason. Plus J William Fulbright of Arkansas was the same guy that helped Bill Clinton out of a couple of his draft notices.

"Shouldn't he have been tried to breaking the UMCJ? I think that testimony was treason."

My guess is that Kerry's testimony was orchestrated by several powerful Democrats; any Navy officer who initiated UCMJ proceedings would have seriously jeopardized his/her career....as a minimum. I'll have to give them credit, the Democrats knew how to stage events to manipulate public opinion. The gallery was packed with VVAW/hippies/imposters who applauded on cue and Kerry's "speech" had been written by a professional and probably rehearsed.

Watching Kerry's testimony again, I also noted his story about the Native American who was a citizen of the Alcatraz Nation.....what a load!

"I spent more time on John Kerry's boat than any other crewmember.

John Kerry hasn't been honest - he has been deceitful.

John Kerry claims that he spent Christmas, in 1968, in Cambodia.

And that is catagorically a lie. Not in December. Not in January.

We were never in Cambodia on a secret mission. Ever."

But nobody knew it at the time. And those things happen."

Jane Fonda tells the student audience at the Michigan State University in 1969;
"I would think that if you understood what communism was, you would hope,
you would pray on your knees, that we would someday become communist."
