When Pitkin's voice dropped...and he was saying it was a pack of lies, and then the anger crept into his voice and he said 'AND KERRY KNEW IT WAS A PACK OF LIES'...I was stunned. This man is a hero.

I do respect what he is doing today.

Yes me too. He knows he did the right thing and he now can hold his head high once again. It's a good thing to see.

Bill Clinton couldn't be elected today - not with his history of protesting the VN War.

Unfortunately I fear he could still be elected!

I thought he said we would have an SVA man speak.

Oh well.

I liked the responsible thought of cleaning up after the rally

Hats off to Pitkin for facing his lies and repenting..I am sure he will be more and more grateful he did...

You are correct...I am so proud of this group..

WELCOME HOME TO ALL VIETNAM VETERANS!

Johnny
(With apologies to Mr. Kipling and the British Army)

Johnny went public with ‘is boasts, an ‘ero without fear,
“Til sudden like the Swifties say, “We got a turncoat ‘ere.”
The Libs they just ignored ‘em, sayin’ “Ah, it’s all a lie!”
Then Johnny’s outted by their ads an’ to myself says I:

Oh it’s Johnny this an’ Johnny that, ‘e’s the ‘ero of the day.
But it’s wait now, Mr. Kerry, what’s that record really say?
The horns are loudly blowin’ boys as our band begins to play,
An’ it’s goodbye, Mr. Kerry, as they blow your arse away.

Johnny goes to Cincinnati sober as a man can be,
An’ they give ol’ George a “Bravo Lad!” but John no sympathy.
They give ‘im plain their message, sittin’ silent in the ‘alls,
That when it comes to fightin’ men, they know oo’s got the balls.

For it’s Johnny this an’ Johnny that, but wait, he might ‘a lied
From the platform of his campaign train an’ on the Boston tide.
His ship is on the tide, my boys, his ship is on the tide,
An’ it’s plain as day she’s sinkin’ boys, because the turncoat lied.

Yes Johnny mocked our uniforms that guard you while you sleep.
He cheapened all our medals throwing his upon that heap;
An’ rustlin’ up his phony troops, he led them for a bit,
Until his aspirations and theirs no longer fit.

Now it’s Johnny this an’ Johnny that, an’ Johnny how’s yer soul,
In that brave front rank of ‘eroes as our drums begin their roll?
The drums begin to roll, my boys, the drums begin to roll,
An’ they’ll keep right on a rollin’ boys, ‘til we chuck ‘im in the hole.

We make no claim as ‘eroes, nor we aren’t no blackguards too,
But ‘onorable men an’ warriors fightin’ once agin for you.
An’ if your ‘ero’s record, our charges soundly taint,
That’s what we’re tryin’ to tell you blokes, your ‘ero ain’t no saint.

For it’s Johnny this an’ Johnny that, an’ “Check him out, the Loot!”
Was ‘e the “Savior of ‘is country” when the guns begin to shoot?
Now it’s Johnny’s turn to prove us wrong, an’ make us all out liars,
By signin’ that one eighty form an’ puttin out the fires.

Oh it’s Johnny this an’ Johnny that, ‘e’s the ‘ero of the day,
But it’s hold on, Mr. Kerry, what’s that record really say?
The horns are loudly blowin’ boys, as our band begins to play,
“Cheerio, Old Man,” to Johnny and blows his arse away.

Kamp Kerry will be making angry calls to c-span higher ups.


Look for a kerry "rally" trying to do the same thing.

Speaking of the MSM, why didn't they report any GOOD stories that came out of VN? The stories were all bad that I can remember, and this just stirred the pot for the protesters.
