Wow ..... all I can say is wow. Skerry better hope this guy doesn't ask a question at the town hall style presidential debate.

[HuntsvilleTxVeteran]

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

[ProudVet77]

Not to worry - Payback is a B!tch.
See my tagline.

[Kenton]

John Kerry hits like a girl...

[Piquaboy]

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.

[evad]

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!

[mass55th]

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."

[Just mythoughts]

This is exactly why CBS perpetrated a fraud with fake documents.

The CBS/JFKerry campaign hoax with fake documents was by design to take all attention away from the Swift Boats Vets.

Moderate democrats will not like seeing ads about JFKerry cavorting with the enemy in Paris, and JFKerry knows it above allll.

...more than 30 years later, the wounds inflicted by John Kerry continue to bring pain to scores of Vietnam veterans. Those wounds — from the bearing of false witness against a generation of courageous young Americans who fought and died in Vietnam — are much more serious than any wound warranting a Purple Heart. Those wounds go to the heart and soul. Those wounds never go away...

Darn Tootin'

There are many who do not recall VietNam. It is important for you all to realize how sKerry deeply hurt and angered our fine military men.

I was just getting into the USAF as Vietnam was winding down.
I was personally spit on, as were many of my friends.

A buddy of mine here at Cornell had blood thrown at him, and others were assaulted by the peaceniks.

This was due to sKerry's "testimony" of lies at the "hearings" as much as anything else, though we could mention Fonda, SDS, the Communists, and others. But, sKerry gave great credibility to knee-jerk egotistical pacifist isolationists. His charges against our brave military men have not been forgotten - but the Swifties are reminding the 'Nam vets and their families EXACTLY WHO did that testimony, and many of us who remembered that testimony had forgotten who had created such lies.

The effect on the morale of our troops was devastating. The leadership of the country was devastated, too. They had already been in a defensive mode to begin with instead of an aggressive "win the war" mode - they went into a "buy our way out of it" mode. Some pointed with credibility to sKerry's lie that "we'd only have to protect 3000 S.Vietnamese who might be harmed by the NV" --- that was always complete bunk, but people WANTED to believe it. Over Three MILLION were killed after we left. sKerry was wrong there, and he lied about the rest, too. If the hearings had been more positive, it might have defused the peaceniks a bit, and we may well have gone on to make an attempt to stop micromanaging that conflict, and let our guys win the war.

Many of the culprits have recognized they were wrong - take David Horowitz as an example, as well as many FReepers who have stated as much here. Many are angry at the way Walter Cronkite and the rest of the lamestream press duped them. sKerry is still trying to defend his indefensible actions.

Kerry's a bona fide liar. He and his VVAW buddies encouraged others to lie. He is as close to a traitor as anybody I know of.

I stated (at length in discussions) on a thread a some time ago that this is now not only a battle between the SwiftVets and the peaceniks of the 60s and 70s, but that this campaign has become a battle - a great battle - between the Old Media Fraudcasters and other mediots, and the New Media - with talk radio/ internet/ blogs.

This has become a battle to the death. Only one will be left standing. The 'Nam Vets (including me and many of my fellows in arms) are not going to be able to be silenced by the President or by the Demodogs or by the Fraudcasters. We know the truth. There is a great well of support we can draw on, and righteous anger about the way we have been treated. Many others are just as angry about how they have been misled by the Fraudcasters and the NYSlimes, et al, and they are now seeing a way to "get a bit of their own back.

WE THE PEOPLE, INCLUDING THOSE OF US AT FR, HAVE TO TAKE BACK THE NEWS MEDIA. WE CAN NOT GIVE UP, WE CANNOT GIVE IN, WE CANNOT REST UNTIL sKERRY IS CRUSHED. CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL WHO ARE CONTRIBUTING TO THIS EFFORT.

please feel free to add to this, plagiarize it, or otherwise use this rant against the traitors to our brave men.  just get it out there.

Give the VietNam Vets the Parade They Never Got

DEFEAT KERRY !!!

This would make an excellent swift boat ad with just a little editing, mainly for brevity, it is eloquent and covers a lot of info...I am going to email them about this..

[hoosierpearl]

I've met the author of this piece about 10 years after he got back from Vietnam. He is an honorable and courageous man, he was a Democrat when I met him and is married to Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, a Republican congresswoman from South Florida who is an escapee from Communist Cuba.

This piece is very understated considering all that he went through.

I do hope the Swift Vets can use his testimony.
