Communist museum removes Kerry photo
World Net Daily ^ | October 25, 2004 | Art Moore

Apparently concerned about influencing the U.S. presidential campaign, Vietnamese communist officials ordered a war museum in Ho Chi Minh City to remove a photograph of John Kerry from a display that was highlighted in "Unfit for Command," the best-seller challenging the senator's version of his military service and his antiwar activities. "Unfit for Command" described the photo as "part of an exhibit honoring heroes who had helped the Vietnamese communists win the war against the United States."

An angered American veteran of the Vietnam War who learned of the photograph through the book, traveled last week to the former Saigon to see it for himself.

But Bob Paris, an ex-Army helicopter pilot who now lives in Hawaii, said he discovered Thursday that the museum manager removed the picture from the display about one month ago and stuffed it in a desk drawer.

Saturday, however, Paris returned to the museum to find the picture had been put back on the wall – this time in a display clearly designed to emphasize Kerry's diplomatic efforts as a senator rather than his more controversial antiwar activities.

"Unfit for Command" co-author Jerome Corsi believes the removal and recasting of the photo is indication Vietnamese officials don't want to embarrass Kerry.

"The communists don't want to do anything that would be detrimental to him being elected," Corsi told WND. "If he wants foreign leaders to support him, he can certainly count on Vietnam's communist regime."

I bet democrats who did this manure are sanitizing (ministry of truth) for any democrat presidential candidate.

Hitlaries thesis has "disappeared", I wonder what else of hers has been "disappeared."

Nothing. Are you surprised that he's a liar about that as well?

"Apparently concerned about influencing the U.S. presidential campaign". Bullsh!t! The communist skumbags intended in every way to influence the American Presidential election, and they lost! Worthless pieces of human dung.
