To print out and wear as a Campaign Button, go HERE. Feel free to reuse this anywhere you wish...I'm on page 130 of Unfit for Command. Kerry actually called Hoffman and offered to change the book IF Hoffman didn't proceed with the SwiftVets. I know there is some mention of it today, but this book had me riveted most of the night. I was skeptical at first, but this is the worst of all political opportunists! To me, he wanted to be President someday, and this was his ticket. Even though he was against the war. Then, when he saw the war was unpopular at home, he went to VVAW. Then, he ran for Congress. Then, he met with the NV in Paris. Much later, he meets with Ortega, now he says he's met with other "leaders" who want him to be President. John Kerry to the rescue!!! He completely "gamed" the Purple Hearts. Then, it turns out that after he received PH #3, they asked him to leave. His own journals and Tour of Duty paint him as this reluctant warrior, but the Vets say he was an incompetent warrior. Some of those videos with him wearing the helmet and fatigues with the M-16, STAGED! They didn't wear this stuff on patrol boats. He was commander, and had to be inside the boat. This man is the most flawed individual to run for President since Slick Willie!
MWDP?
The swifties, on the other hand, claim he was a coward to his superiors and never spoke up, but that he was very anti-war with his peers. Either way, this is not my idea of a combat hero.
He's an idiot and a disloyal idiot at that.
MWDP? Media Whores/Democratic Party? That's only a guess.... :-)
I'm guessing it's the Media Wing of the Dem Party. Took me a while, tho.
Not entirely correct: Kerry only offered to strike the lies about Hoffman from the as-yet-unpublished paperback edition.
Current and future hardbacks would been unaffected.
I didn't really follow the 1996 race...Did Weld attack Kerry over Vietnam?..doesn't sound like him..who was it then?
bump TO SUPPORT THE NEW SWIFT VETS AD AND GEORGE BUSH... http://swift2.he.net/~swift2/gardner2.mpg
Would it be possible to excerpt some of the specific text from the book. I don't want to buy the damn thing.
Dishonorable scumbag alert!
He only went to Swift boats for the obvious connections it would make to JFK's PT Boat service. JFK was his early hero and supposed mentor.
It is just that simple.......
What a pig!
Media Wing of the Democratic Party
You are correct.
He is beneath contempt to vilify his Swift Vet comrades first and then declare that they dare not criticize himself.
Then he goes on to blame George W. Bush, who he had personally smeared (and continues to this very day, from his own disgusting mouth and his surrogates) regarding his service in the National Guard.
I don't think that MWDP will ever catch on. Its insufficiently pithy and alliterative. I think Old Media works best.
I see the true measure of just how deep in sh*t Monsieur Kerry is is the number of elected officials and Democratic Party leaders are standing up with Kerry in his defense. Turn on the TV, and one is bombarded by yelling, screaming maniacs defending Kerry from the Swifties.
Every one of Kerry's blubbering defenders are either once-weres or want-to-bes; no Daschle, no Schumer, no HRC, no Leahy, and on and on. There is only one elected Senator that would defend Kerry without fear of retribution from his constituents, and Kerry's camp is afraid to let Uncle Teddy out of the basement.
