The Grand Deception:
'Kerry, War Hero,' Is a Myth

The widely repeated myth of "John Kerry, the Vietnam Navy Hero" is one of the most dishonorable and dangerous deceptions ever perpetrated upon the American public. John Kerry is not a hero. He built this facade with unabashed personal promotion, aided and abetted by a supportive liberal media ready and willing to repeat in print his gross exaggerations, distortions of fact, and outright lies about his abbreviated four-month, 12-day tour of duty in Vietnam. Until the Swift Boat Veterans for the Truth spoke up in press conferences, television ads, and with the now best-selling book, Unfit for Command, no one - not even the conservative media - seriously or effectively challenged the veracity of John Kerry's self-aggrandizement. Only now is his war-hero facade beginning to peel away.

You got to give the people of Mass credit. They are unwavering in their support of the Traitor, and now Communist Candidate for President. Kerry may not want to be the Communist candidate, but he has not disavowed himself from their candidacy! AND he meets their criteria - traitor, met with commies in paris (no cap on purpose), visits the vietnamese, the sandanistas, and supports ever liberal measure derailing this once great country.

The grand deception is Kerry himself. He is a total fraud who should never be allowed to be our president. In short, he is a lying, pathetic POS who has nothing positive to offer this country !!!

They are unwavering in their support of the...Don't forget the Senior Senator from Mass who also has their unwavering support. Couldn't tell you why other than the family name.

Finally, one more of the MSM, *gets it*. How long will it take for the others to realize the truth? Probably never.

Finally, one more of the MSM, *gets it*. No, the paper doesn't get it. Not yet.
But I'll give them props for permitting Admiral Hoffmann's guest column to run. Methinks there may be a rebuttal column elsewhere, or on another date.
GO Swiftees!!

It can't be spelled correctly both times, because they are different. It's a great graphic though.

Of course CBS will give this story and its assertions the same scrutiny that those about Bush received?
