Was John Kerry Duped?
MichNews.com ^ | September 7, 2004 | Michael Ashbury

Writing in a February 26, 2004 National Review article, Ion Mihai Pacepa a former spy chief and a General in the former Soviet satellite of Romania indicates that the Vietnam-era antiwar movement got its spin from the Russian Kremlin.

He writes "I produced the very same vitriol Kerry repeated to the U.S. Congress almost word for word and planted it in leftist movements throughout Europe. KGB chairman Yuri Andropov managed our anti-Vietnam War operation. He often bragged about having damaged the U.S. foreign-policy consensus, poisoned domestic debate in the U.S., and built a credibility gap between American and European public opinion through our disinformation operations. Vietnam was, he once told me, "our most significant success."

Well, actually he wasn't duped before he was duped. But, did you know that John Kerry was in Viet Nam?

Question - Is there any firm evidence indicating JK going to Iron Curtain countries (a-la Bill Clinton)?

Kerry is currently duping nearly half of the U.S. electorate. :-p

Well not quite half. And the Hollywood-Harvard axis is partner to Kerry in duping a portion of the American electorate and that axis believes that Kerry will betray the American electorate before he would betray them. Peaceniks believe that Kerry will pull out troops from Iraq and that his militaristic bluster is just "doing the post 9-11 dance" to get elected.

Now we know, being a traitor runs in the family. Communist sympathizers all the way. It's probably why Kerry supports muslim theocracy's as well, because they are more like communists.

Duped?

NO! John Kerry was an active hater of the freedom of the democratic republic that is called the United States of America.

To suggest that he was "duped" is giving him "innoncence" in his crimes against the American military who were fighting for their own lives against the friends of john-john.

Not sure what you mean--what he was in Nam

. . . besides a vain glorious idiot endangering his shipmates and disgracing his country.

I mean, besides being a selfish arrogant idiot in Nam,

what was he?

Tin foil time.

This is what Kruschhev was talking about. They used the fledgling anti-war movement to indoctrinate future leaders of America. Clinton the Bubba didn't take too well, he was too busy nailing the bubushkas. Hillawitch was too wild and unpredictable although she has her uses. Kerry was ideal, a Kennedy Klone without the booze at a time when Kennedy was the American ideal, at least in Soviet minds.

They never will get to see it though, they never counted on Old Mr. Reagan, a Hollywood cowboy to bust up their act and now a Texas cowboy is going to do the same.

I wonder how many people Kerry has told he was 'really' a double agent for the CIA
pretending to be an anti war vet and informing on the really bad ones...

Of course guys like Kerry often suckered the younger vets in..with BS promises or telling bogus tales of what he and VVAW stood for...and who the guys in really were...

I heard tales of Navy SEALS and Green Berets joining up with VVAW....glad to hear these were nearly 100% bogus "Kerrytales"...designed to sucker the other guys in...

And once Kerry suckered guys in....then he informed on the guys he suckered in the first place

Kerry is a low life....and demonstrative of the colloquialism ...'you cant possibly pour enough perfume on that pig to make it smell better'..

John F Kerry never met an American serviceman he wouldn't sell out to someone for money or other considerations...

John Kerry is NOT an American ...regardless of what his passport might say the contrary...

IMO

When someone as anti-American as Kerry runs for president something is way out of kilter.

Not that I have found yet. But several members of the leadership went to Moscow, Hanoi and Paris.

John Kerry was not duped.He is an opportunist who used the teachings of his father,when he thought he could gain the most from them!

." When John Kerry came back from Vietnam, his father pushed him to be more outspoken in his opposition to the war. "When Kerry refused to speak out against the government [while in uniform], suddenly his father felt like he was being a wimp," says Brinkley. "[So he] encouraged his son to take off the uniform and to become a critic." John Kerry, of course, did exactly this, first in Vietnam Veterans Against the War and eventually in the U.S. Senate.

Kerry was not a useful idiot. He was a collaborationist. Useful idiots don't compare Ho Chi Minh to George Washington.
