Suprise! Suprise! LOL
Pat Robertson was on with Scarborough a little while ago. He dropeed this bombshell. Not sure if it was in intended or unintended leak? I think that Kerry's speech tomorrow will be a disaster...
They found a Viet Cong to help support Kerry??
And this is suppose to help Kerry ... how???
Roger that. I've always said that anyone who raises their right hand and takes the pledge deserves great respect unless they do something to unearn it. But check this out, from the Federalist Digest, some details I hadn't learned before:
Initially, Kerry took the defensive: "I think a lot of veterans are going to be very angry at a president who can't account for his own service in the National Guard...criticizing somebody who fought for their country and served." (Oops, another cheap shot at our National Guard and Reserve forces.)Fortunately, President Bush can account for his service. He wanted to fly fighter jets, he earned his wings, and he logged many air defense hours in an F-102 Delta Dagger with the 147th Fighter Group and its subordinate 111th FIS, Texas ANG. Mr. Bush's unit was subject to rotation in Vietnam under the Palace Alert Program. In fact, 15 F-102 pilots were killed in Vietnam, but American involvement in that conflict was de-escalating by 1972, and Bush was honorably discharged from his service with the ANG.
Implicit in Kerry's warning, however, is the notion that he, himself, volunteered for service in Vietnam. Remember Bill Clinton's repetitive "Send me" paean at the Demo Convention? Try again. Kerry's anti-military sentiments were well known when he was a student at Yale. After graduating, Kerry petitioned his draft board for a student deferment so he could study in -- where else? -- Paris. His deferment denied, Kerry then calculated that he could avoid Vietnam by joining the Naval Reserves, where he'd likely be able to serve stateside even if his unit was activated. Kerry's service record indicates that on 18 February 1966 he enlisted in the USNR under "inactive" status. This puts the lie to any assertion that Kerry "volunteered" for dangerous swift boat duty while George W. Bush somehow slunk off to fly fighter-jets.
As fate would have it, Kerry's reserve unit was activated, while the President's ANG unit remained stateside -- yet both circumstances were far beyond the control of these two junior officers. As for Kerry's choice of Swift Boats, he told the Boston Globe last year, "I didn't really want to get involved in the war. When I signed up for the swift boats, they had very little to do with the war. They were engaged in coastal patrolling...."
Vietcong to Kerry's defence. We should have seen this coming. Naturally they will say or do anything in support of the guy who contributed more to their victory than anyone but Hanoi-Jane.
Question is: Why the hell do they think anyone except the NYT will believe them?
Come see what the NYT found
A Viet Cong supporting Kerry for President
I can't believe this! I thought this was from scrappleface.com or something.
These fools actually believe this endorsement will HELP them with swing voters?
Proof positive that John 'Fn Kerry is stark, staring, moon-barking mad.
BTTT!!!!!
Kerry = Old Gay Lady = VC
Imagine my surprise.
Do tell
Hmmmm?
A Viet Cong served on Kerry's boat? How can this person have an opinion on Kerry unless he served with him and was also highly decorated?
N. Theknow strides cautiously up to the barrel ands peeks inside.
Hmmm? Nope. Nothing there. That's the absolute bottom of the barrel in the "Saving Kerry's Ass Sweepstakes." Thank you for playing. Have a safe trip home.
One again .. the VC cast their vote for JFnK
You nailed it my friend. The liberal press place more credence in former Viet Cong and Communists than in our own war veterans. Tells me all I need to know about their unholy alliance.
