IMPENDING GOP BOMBSHELL (Kerry in Paris, 1971!)

AN IMPENDING BOMBSHELL?

[09/01 10:10 PM]

Months ago, I was chatting with a Republican who is very, very knowledgeable about Kerry and I mentioned Kerry's 1971 travels to Paris, and meetings with Madame Nguyen Thi Binh. Binh had been a member of the Central Committee for the National Front for the Liberation of the South, and was now Foreign Minister of the Provisional Revolutionary Government (PRG) of South Vietnam. The military arm of the PRG was widely known as the Viet Cong, just as Madame Binh was widely recognized as the Viet Cong delegate to the conference.

"Yeah, I've heard about that," the Republican said. "I've heard a lot of interesting things about that, but I don't think I want to talk about that just yet."

My eyebrows were raised, but he wouldn't say more.

Well, apparently Newt Gingrich just said to Sean Hannity, very slowly, very carefully, that John Kerry traveled to Paris three times to meet with the Communist leadership in secret.

I think we now know what that Republican didn't yet want to talk about.

Man, I hope this goes public. Hopefully, RUSH and Hannity will grab it.

You can be sure on this (sure he's moderate by comparison, but he takes no bull) that O'Reilly would run with this if it seems to hold water. And don't get me started on the G-Man...

btw, does Michael Reagan still have a radio show?

I thought we'd ever heard of only ONE Paris trip. Has anyone ever heard of THREE before this?

Madame Nguyen Thi Binh was a very rich woman.

Dumping Eagleton was stupid then and stupid now. But this is the Rats we are talking about.

I've read the SBV have an October surprise. Those who know what it is say Kerry will be lucky to take Massachusetts.

At the risk of sounding paranoid, I think there are a number of these traitors collaborating with the North Vietnamese or Chinese communists going back to the anti-war days.

Even if true, this will go nowhere.

Yeah, that's what we thought about the Swift Boat Vets a few months back. :o)

I read about three. Interestingly enough, John Kerry has apparently run his campaigns on this Veterans theme in the past and it always worked. Perhaps no one was ready to take him on and call him on the serious issues. So Kerry thinks he can so it again. But the the presidential level is a whole new ball game and the Swifties are ahead by 2, have 3 on base and a star batter warming up.

The only bad part is that it is so ugly, Kerry may quit and I can only imagine the worst case scenario, Hillary riding to the party's rescue..

Americans won't entrust our national security to Hillary Clinton.

HOW did Kerry get this far without being "vetted" by the MSM?

When his candidacy implodes, the blame lies squarely on the MSM for not exploring his problems before they erupted during this campaign.

How was he able to avoid media scrutiny for the last 35 years?

When he gets trounced, we can THANK the MSM.

"As much as SKerry blows his own horn do you think he'd have kept silent if he had been negotiating with government approval?"

Look, I would love for this to be right and for Kerry to crash and burn. But for some reason this smells of set up to me. He was an officer in the Navy at the time. He was not prosecuted, and he eventually was elected and had security clearance. I'm surprised that he was not outed for this back in the 80's when the GOP had access to his records and he was such a pain to Reagan over talks with the Soviets.

Lets just say, I would not be so anxius to go on TV with this one like Newt did last night.

Tomorrow is the very last day to file candidacy.

Ha! If you're implying Hilliary, she filed back in January, IIRC. She's all set.

I apologize for my ignorance on this, but can someone spell out for me what this means, and how this should be presented by the media? I haven't heard about this.

It is illegal - very, very, very illegal - for a soldier to engage in negotiations with the enemy unless he has been given express permission to do so by superior officers (superior as in damn near the very top of the chain of command). I don't know if this would count as actual treason, but if not it's extremely close.

Beyond the violations of military law, there's also the possibility that what he did may have changed the course of the war in favor of the Communists, and made things much worse for POWs still being held by the Vietnamese at the time.

As for how the media should handle it, I just hope they wait till Friday. A home-run Bush speech Thursday night followed by immediate charges of treasonous activity by Kerry on Friday morning could be a one-two knockout punch that will destroy the Kerry candidacy.

I think we now know what that Republican didn't yet want to talk about.

I wonder exactly how they are going to dump this information. I don't think it's the Bush style to wage this kind of attack.

From a legal point of view, you may well be on solid ground. However, nobody is going to press this against a Presidential candidate.

We think the best approach is to publicize the details of what Kerry did, and trust the American people to do the rest.

Were you around during Vietnam?! NOBODY was prosecuted for covorting with the enemy. It was fashionable!

As for Newt, it's unlikely this was a careless remark.

As I've said time and again, and AGAIN... NO ONE WORKS HARDER THAN SEAN FOR CONSERVATIVE CAUSES AND TRYING TO DESTROY THE CLINTONS AND SKERRY

That's right, and a handful of snobs love to cut him down, but he's done more than all of them combined for our country.
