Sen. John Kerry seeks permission to invest in documentary

June 16, 2009

Kerry makes a film bid

Sen. John Kerry has made it in politics. Now he wants to be a movie producer.

The Massachusetts Democrat has asked the Senate ethics panel if he can use $300,000 from his campaign funds to invest in a documentary about injured Iraq war veterans.

Kerry has also sought approval from the Federal Election Commission.

The former Democratic presidential nominee hopes to be an executive producer for a movie tentatively titled "Keeping Faith" by White Mountain Films. The senator, who chairs the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, would help line up investors and obtain interview subjects for the film.

Winter Soldier 2

I'd heard that John Kerry served in Vietnam and won three (count 'em THREE!) Purple Hearts. Is any of this true? Or is the good Senator from MA just yanking our chains?

"Winter Soldier 2"

Exactly.

It HAS to be a liberal crockumentary a la Michael Moore not only about vets who hate the war, but who are brimming with liberal propaganda against the U.S. in general.

[FlingWingFlyer]

You can bet this is going to be an anti-American/anti-war film with a load of cheap potshots at President Bush and VP Cheney. More exploitation of our American heroes. Kerry is a scumbag.

[TheClintons-STILLAnti-American]

Kerry was homely even when he had youth on his side.

[ASOC]

Dude - you REALLY need to post a (Massve Heave/Barforama) alert with that link.

As for John F’n kerry

June, 1970 -- Kerry joins Vietnam Veterans Against the War (VVAW), a national veterans group that is part of the Peoples Coalition for Peace and Justice. The PCPJ is a broad coalition of local and national organizations, including the Communist Party, USA, "committed to conducting demonstrations aimed at ending the war in Indochina, and poverty, racism and injustice at home." The VVAW, CCI and PCPJ all have headquarters at 156 Fifth Avenue in New York City. VVAW Executive Secretary Al Hubbard, a former Black Panther, is also on the coordinating committee of the PCPJ. Hubbard soon appoints Kerry to the VVAW's Executive Committee, bypassing the normal election process.

Fact: The Black Panthers were communist revolutionaries...

From the Maoist Internationist Movement:
[1960s/original] Black Panther Party [BPP] Archives
From the article: REVOLUTIONARY HEROS

"On May 1st, May Day [1969], the day of the gigantic Free Huey rally, two of Alioto's top executioners vamped on the brothers from the Brown Community who were attending to their own affairs. These brothers, who are endowed with the revolutionary spirit of the Black Panther Party defended themselves from the racist pig gestapo.

Pig Joseph Brodnik received his just reward with a big hole in the chest. Pig Paul McGoran got his in the mouth which was not quite enough to off him.

The revolutionary brothers escaped the huge swarm of pigs with dogs, mace, tanks and helicopters, proving once again that "the spirit of the people is greater than the man's technology."

To these brothers the revolutionary people of racist America want to say, by your revolutionary deed you are heroes, and that you are always welcome to our camp."

November 22, 1970 -- During a fund-raising tour for GI deserters, Vietnam Veterans Against the War and the Black Panthers, Jane Fonda is quoted in the Detroit Free Press as telling a University of Michigan audience:

"I would think that if you understood what communism was, you would hope, you would pray on your knees that we would someday become communist," and "The peace proposal of the Viet Cong is the only honorable, just, possible way to achieve peace in Vietnam."

http://www.snopes.com/photos/politics/kerry.asp

The photo is genuine. Here is what Jane Fonda herself had to say about it:

"My reaction is that the American people have had it with the big lie. Any attempt to link Kerry to me and make him look bad with that connection is completely false. We were at a rally for veterans at the same time. I spoke, Donald Sutherland spoke, John Kerry spoke at the end. I don't even think we shook hands."

LOL! Sorry! You're right.

I guess we now know where this so-called "documentary" will be coming from.

[ETL]

"...if the United States were to set a date for withdrawal the prisoners of war would be returned."-J.F. Kerry

"Under questioning from the Committee, Kerry referred to the democratically elected government of South Vietnam -- our allies -- as a "dictatorial regime, the Thieu-Ky-Khiem regime," while respectfully calling the North Vietnamese communist regime we were fighting by its oxymoronic official name, the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, and the murderous Viet Cong's political arm by their preferred "Provisional Revolutionary Government.":

Well, the irony in the title says it all. Note that he wants to use campaign funds not his wife’s billions of dollars.

[Hildy]

How much ya wanna bet his daughter has something to do with this production?

[headstamp 2]

“Sen. John Kerry has made it in politics.”

Made what exactly?

[Steelfish]

“made it”= marrying for millions

[ASOC]

Sorry if I harshed on you .

It’s just that every time that turds name comes up, I have to find a place to spit...if you know what I mean.

[FlingWingFlyer]

I didn’t take it that way. I agree with everything you said! :o)

[GeronL]

Ask Citizens United about that

[ntnychik]

I think John F. Kerry wants an Oscar, maybe a Nobel.
