INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 31 /U.S. Newswire/ -- The National Commander of The American Legion called on Sen. John Kerry to apologize for suggesting that American troops in Iraq are uneducated.

"As a constituent of Senator Kerry's I am disappointed. As leader of The American Legion, I am outraged," said National Commander Paul A. Morin. "A generation ago, Sen. Kerry slandered his comrades in Vietnam by saying that they were rapists and murderers. It wasn't true then and his warped view of today's heroes isn't true now."

While addressing a group of college students at a campaign rally in Pasadena, CA., Monday, Kerry suggested that they receive an education or "if you don't, you'll get stuck in Iraq."

"While The American Legion shares the senator's appreciation for education, the troops in Iraq represent the most sophisticated, technologically superior military that the world has ever seen," Morin said. "I think there is a thing or two that they could teach most college professors and campus elitists about the way the world works.

"I’m an internationalist. I’d like to see our troops dispersed through [sic] the world
only at the directive of the United Nations."
Hanoi John Kerry, The Harvard Crimson, 1970

HANOI KERRY
has a Campaign Platform
Just like the old days!

"It is a fact that in the entire Vietnam War we did not lose one major battle.
We lost the war at home and at home John Kerry was the field general"
- Bob Elder, Swift Boat Veteran For Truth

"I do not believe John Kerry is fit to be commander in chief of the U.S. armed forces,"
said retired Rear Adm. Roy Hoffmann, chairman of the organization.
"This is not a political issue. It is a matter of honesty."

I was there the same time Hanoi Kerry was.
I served on the destroyer USS Corry DD-817 which supplied PCF's and PBR's
and gave gunfire support in North AND South Viet Nam.
My ship may have even supplied Hanoi Kerry's boat.
I VOW I will do everything I LEGALLY can
to keep this traitor from being elected.

The book that Kerry wishes would just go away.

HanoiJohnKerry.com is a blog with a primary purpose. That purpose is to counter the preposterous claims of Sen. John Forbes Kerry (D-MA) that he has any legitimate claim to any sort of "brotherhood" among combat veterans of the War in Vietnam. While it is generally supposed that his service as a Naval officer on a "Swift Boat" in that theater was adequate and honorable, there is much to question regarding his readiness to allow the accolade "war hero" to be applied to him. Likewise, it is not at all uncommon for more senior Naval officers to raise an eyebrow at the swiftness and relative comfort by which Lt. JG Kerry attained those medals, and who is available to vouch for the efficacy of his being awarded them (since, as boat commander, it would be his own task to make recommendation for awards for all personnel, including himself, on the Swift Boat). But most egregious was his conduct, words and associations upon his early-out (from SEA) return to the USA and discharge from the US Navy. His leadership role with the radical pro-Communist (inaccurate to deem this group "anti-war") group called "Vietnam Veterans Against the [Vietnam] War" (hereafter VVAW).

It was while climbing the social and political ladder of the pro-Soviet Left as a principle of VVAW that John Kerry found his political soul-mate in Hanoi Jane Fonda. Granted, these politically formative years for Kerry were prior to the more outlandish acts of Fonda that earned her that name, but it is easily documentable that Fonda did not under go any radical transformation in belief or character from the time she and Kerry were working the same side of the street to the time she traveled to Hanoi, NVN and entered US history as the most overt traitor to ever NOT be charged, tried and executed. John Kerry went to his own overt extremes to demonstrate that, politically, socially and in lowness of character, there wasn't a nickel's worth of difference between he and Fonda. Thus, in the spirit of fairness and accuracy, we are reasonably certain that he will be agreeably flattered by calling him Hanoi John Kerry.

Here, testifying before the Fulbright Senate Foreign Relations Committee, is where John Kerry, spokesman for Vietnam Veterans Against the War, cemented his position and moniker as "Hanoi John" Kerry. This was the occasion where US troops still in the field in Vietnam learned from one of their FORMER brothers-in-arms that they were heinous murderers and war criminals. HJK would now like to call on them for support in his bid to be the new Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces. Perhaps the most preposterous hypocrisy of all.

Im suprised we don't have a Beelzebob here. LOL

[NicknamedBob]

Maybe he goes by a nickname.

[pissant]

Hey, haven't seen you in a coons age. Where ya been?

[elhombrelibre]

He's probably going to say they're a bunch of stupid old fogies with fascist tendencies controlled by evil right-wing people like Rove.

[kachina]

Don't insult my garage door! Compared to Kerry it's equal to Einstein.

[rivercat]

Kerry just blew any chance he had of picking up the Dem nomination for 2008.

[jcmfreedom]

And he's only making matters worse for the Democrats. Watch the nightly news (as predicted by Rush Limbaugh) run out and conduct an interview or twelve with him in order to downplay his "stupid joke"; find downtrodden servicemen; and/or re-interpret what Kerry really said both times. Kerry is a disgrace and I'm even more grateful that he's not our President!!! When are the voters of Mass. going to drive him and Kennedy out of office?

[The Old Hoosier]

I disagree. The DUmmies will love it!

He's just boosted himself for 08 at the expense of Democratic gains in 06...

[Eastbound]

Ya know, I don't think I've ever seen a picture of Kerry where he wasn't doing something stupid or looking stupid. The photogs must be stealth republicans.

At first glance at this photo I really thought he was barfing out of his nose.

[Sub-Driver]

You're correct. Every Veteran group will shun him.

[Publius]

It would be more effective if every veterans' group demanded his resignation.

[rivercat]

As a veteran, I sent him a letter demanding his resignation. I knew he was arrogant, but this tops Clinton's arrogant speech about Lewinsky!

[pleikumud]

Hanoi Kerry should be tried and convicted of treason, but first Congress should change the penalty for treason (U.S. Constitution, Article III, Section 3) to death by hanging.

And right before that photo he asked the cheesesteak guy if he could have his with swiss cheese.

[Cementjungle]

When are the voters of Mass. going to drive him and Kennedy out of office?

When pigs fly.

But, but, don't you all know he left out a couple words, it was supposed to be a slam of Bush.

Right, we all miss speak, but we correct it on the spot, not 18 hours later and only after we've tried a couple of other spins that didn't work ... either.
