Breaking her silence on criticism of John Kerry's war record by the group Swiftboat Veterans for Truth, Teresa Heinz Kerry said this week that such attacks are undermining the morale of troops currently serving in Iraq and Afghanistan."I believe that discussions or attacks on [my husband's] service undermine the peace of mind not only of Vietnam veterans but of those now fighting for their country," she told the Dayton Daily News.
"Let us hope that if they volunteer for service their reviews are not going to be so nefarious in the future," she added.
Heinz Kerry reacted to the Swiftvet criticism after speaking to the AFL-CIO Coalition of Labor Union Women in Ohio on Tuesday. Asked Monday about the Swiftvet criticism by the Gannet News Service, Heinz Kerry responded less forcefully, saying, "I honor my husband's work. I honor his past."
"I may be wrong," she added. "But I have to believe that no veteran today, including those who don't plan to vote for my husband, feels very good about these attacks."
First Cleland, now his wife...gawd..
Should only undermine the morale of the craven liars.
I find it shocking that they have yet to muzzle this mule.
To think that she has no understanding of how incredibly idiotic her remarks are in light of what her husband said when he got home from vietnam is staggering.
Her husband is the expert on trashing the morale of troops in an on-going war.
Yes, you are!
Having a Commander in Chief who thinks it's OK to accuse American servicemen of being rapists, torturers and multilators on no evidence.
I think she undermines their appetites...
I am waiting for her comment that Buffoon Moore has been helping morale.
And, what does she think her husband did to our troops in Vietnam? Our Vietnam vets?
I can't believe this man.
Just imagine how much their morale will go down if Kerry is actually elected.
This is absolutely nuts.
The pressure is mounting within not only the Kerry Campaign, but apparently the Heinz household as well....(grin)
Come on, Tay Raise Ahhhh, tell us what you really think...you spoiled hosebeast. Tell us "little people" what its like......just keep talking. We Bush supporters are counting on you having a very public temper tantrum, your so close....come on, let it out you botox addicted floozy.
We're waiting.....(grin)
"I may be wrong," she added. "But I have to believe that no veteran today, including those who don't plan to vote for my husband, feels very good about these attacks."
... And they should shove it!
Sorry, but I couldn't help myself.
I think Michael Moore sitting in the box with Jimmy Carter at the DNC convention ( a supposed place of honor) would go a lot further to damage morale in Iraq than any discussion about Kerry and Vietnam.
Somebody put some panties on HER head.
Does anyone wonder how many volunteers we would have in the military IF Kerry were Commander-In-Cheif? Would you volunteer to work for that guy?
Twerpy Te-RAY-za barfing again. OOOOhhhhh ppppllleeeeaaassseee make it stop!
