He was the one to drag this Vietnam crap out of the bottom of hell and now I hope he gets to go down and join it. Slimey treasonist POS.

A great testimonial by a brave and honorable American.

BTW, I have often thought that the last Swift Boat TV ad should feature that photo of John Kerry smiling that hangs in the Hanoi museum.

With some sort of voiceover like: John Kerry is even today hailed as a hero by the enemy we were fighting in Vietnam. By the enemy thousands of brave US soldiers died fighting against. Will the murderous enemies of TODAY view John Kery the same way??"

Then just show one last picture of Kerry with Hanoi Jane.

That should just about clinch it.

And he trying the same thing to our great Military now.

From the Boston Globe - 3/11/03: “Senator John F. Kerry of Massachusetts … said he will cease his complaints once the shooting starts. ‘It’s what you owe the troops,’ said a statement from Kerry, a Navy veteran of the Vietnam War. ‘I remember being one of those guys and reading news reports from home. If America is at war, I won’t speak a word without measuring how it’ll sound to the guys doing the fighting when they’re listening to their radios in the desert.”

From the Boston Globe - 04/03/03: “What we need now is not just a regime change in Saddam Hussein and Iraq, but we need a regime change in the United States,’ Kerry said in a speech at the Peterborough Town Library. Despite pledging two weeks ago to cool his criticism of the administration once war began, Kerry unleashed a barrage of criticism as US troops fought within 25 miles of Baghdad.” Interviews by Glen Johnson.

New day. Same Kerry. Can't trust him.

What a colossal blunder on the part of the sKerry people to highlight his war record as the centerpiece of his candidacy.

When this thing is over and the talking heads are all dissecting the reasons for Kerry's downfall, this will be at the top of the list!

I hope so. It really makes me so sad to know ,and to see the pain that John Kerry has caused our Vietnam vets and their families. To me these people are heroes, to him they are stepping stones to power. I so hope he gets his due....

Today Kerry is using the same words to denigrate yet another generation of our troops. I can only hope that when the Senator finally breathes his last breath and reaches the pearly gate, that there's a sign on it that says: "Traitors not welcomed."

How can you blame his campaign team? His war record is the brightest, shiniest most wonderful thing sKerry has. Everything else about him is downhill from there.

To understand John Kerry is to understand his dad. Richard Kerry published his only book, The Star-Spangled Mirror, in 1990. He writes:
"Americans are inclined to see the world and foreign affairs in black and white. They celebrate their own form of government and denigrate all others, making them guilty of what he calls 'ethnocentric accommodation' -- everyone ought to be like us. As a result, America has committed the 'fatal error' of 'propagating democracy' and fallen prey to 'the siren's song of promoting human rights,' falsely assuming that our values and institutions are a good fit in the Third World. And, just as Americans exaggerate their own goodness, they exaggerate their enemies' badness. The Soviet Union wasn't nearly as imperialistic as American politicians warned. Seeing the Soviet Union as the aggressor in every instance, and the U.S. as only reacting defensively, relieves an American observer from the need to see any parallel between our use of military power in distant parts of the world, and the Soviet use of military power outside the Soviet Union. . . . Third world Marxist movements were autonomous national movements -- outside Moscow's orbit."

Thanks. I hadn't heard about his dad. Sounds like a commie kook.

Payback will be 30+ years in coming. It should be good and cold by now. Any vet who doesn't vote, should give back their DD214s. There are lots of guys who'd like to be alive right now to vote Kerry down.

LOL... It's on today's Drudge. I just thought it made JohnBoy look like a sissy, so I've been popping it into Kerry threads. Just being a mean-spirited partisan, you know... ;P

It does make him look rather sissy-ish. Was he being attacked or something? Weird.

Yeah..there probably isn't anything he could have used to highlight his career in a positive manner, certainly not his 20 year record in the senate.

I just happen to think he underestimated/forgot/wasn't aware of the response he would get from veterans/POWs of the VN war.

Hey man, whatever it takes to bring the bastard down.
