April 1972 is after Kerry resigned from the VVAW executive committee. I think he was still a 'spokesman' for them then, however. If he wasn't active in the leadership at that point, it's hard to pin this on Kerry. He should be asked about it, however, and if it can be shown he knew about the call, and did not report it to the FBI.....

I've always wondered if Kerry (the ultimate flip-flopper) wasn't also one of the FBI informants in VVAW. That would be ironic. Also, he could NEVER admit it, because the Left would turn on him in a heartbeat as a SNITCH and TRAITOR to THEM! LOL. Maybe someone should start such a rumor? Who knows, it might be true.

I have information that indicates that John Kerry was with the VVAW as a national leader until at least untilas least January 1973.

Kerry spoke at a VVAW event that very month:

So when did John Kerry leave the VVAW, anyway?

It wouldn't surprise me in the least.

For a slightly offbeat take on the calculating decisions made by our political class in order to advance their careers, try reading Lucky Bastard.

Another interesting novel is Spin.

The latter was written by a former Republican political consultant, turned writer.

Even though both are works of fiction, some of the scenes are so eerily similar to reality that you'll be reminded of some of the more poignant scenes from Wag the Dog.

SNITCH and TRAITOR

I wonder how long Kerry would last in a prison!
