The puff piece starts out: “John Kerry starts by showing the entry in a log he kept from 1969: “Feb 12: 0800 run to Cambodia.” Right off the bat, this is the first piece where the Swift Boat Vets were 100% correct. At the time, John Kerry stated that his trip took place on Christmas Eve in 1968. The SBV were right at the time, he was NOT iN Cambodia on Christmas Eve of 1968. Kerry had said that this moment was “seared” into him. After the Vets came out, Kerry had his personal biographer come out and it changed to “sometime in January.” Apparently all along it had been February 12, 1969. (And he has a hat to prove it)....
Sweetness and Light also brings up the point about the after-action report on the kid that Kerry shot. (The slimes “proved” that Kerry was telling the truth because the kid was laying on his back, not his stomach, and thus it would have been impossible for Kerry to have shot him while running away. Physics denies it!)
The after action report:

It may have also been Chinese New year 1969. It's seared into his brain I tell ya!!
Huh?
"" Plan: retiring back to Maine, and perhaps teaching in a college there. That is, if I can get through an interview. Last one bombed when I cracked up at seeing a picture of the interviewer and Fidel on her wall.""
ROTFLMAO.........My parents were both conservative college professors in boston. Why would you want to do this to yourself?? : )
One too many Christmases in Cambodia do that to one. Seriously, I seek faculty employment because I want to understand my own children, at least one or two of whom consider Fidel (and now Chavez!) great leaders.
I keep waiting for some sort of sensible reaction to take place that might swat down the crazed Troktsky-ites who infest colleges, but it never happens. Indeed, it gets worse with each succeeding generation.
One mentions the many millions dead at the hands of international communism, they mention Wounded Knee. You talk about the thousands of political prisoners in Cuba, they talk about how we are killing the planet with Global Warming, after driving to the party in a shiny new Volvo SUV, of course.
Bush, and of course, Nixon=Hitler. Che Guevara, Nelson Mandela=Christ and John the Baptist. These attitudes are prevalent among government employees,too, who reveal them at the slightest indirect provocation.
And, they are very, very serious. This is what Kerry, Gore, and Hillary are about. They could win.
All kidding aside, I think it would be an excellent choice, as long as you like to rumble in the jungle.
My dad told me 25 years ago that in his English dept, there were 2 conservatves, and 30 doctrinaire Marxists.
My bet's on the SBV! Bring it on, sKerry!
Good point. We just have to do everything we can to see that McCaine doesn't get the nomination. We have to vote in the primaries and then go home and pray.
This piece of disinformation, no doubt spread as the result of the Swift Boat People's control of the media, had taken me in ... hook, line, and sinker. Also, my former CO was not to be seen anywhere near Capitol Hill during important debates, so I naturally assumed this foul falsehood about his entry into the private sector was true.
I have been working on the Chanukkah in Cambodia reunion boat trip, immersed (so to speak), in the myriad details involved in a riverine adventure of this sort. Thank goodness my former CO has found those old journals, as the details do tend to fade after all those years. I am also planning on a documentary video, which I am offering for sale to Free Republic people in a two-cd set, which includes Al Gore's seminal film on Global Warming.
I feel the truth must be seared, seared I tell you, into everyone's memory, well in advance of JFK's election to the Presidency.
Thank God I learned the truth before it was too late to set the record straight before the election of '08.
John Kerry, "UNNNGHHHH"
