When John Kerry's Courage Went M.I.A.

As I told Laura Ingraham on her radio show yesterday, I walked "point" for the 1st Battalion, 5th Marines in Viet Nam in 1969 and 1970 and I can say unequivocally that there were no "massive atrocities" against the Vietnamese by Marines. PERIOD! Kerry is a bald faced liar! I understand Kerry has "backed off" from those slanderous accusations since yesterday. Semper Fi, Kelly

And this is from a guy who in another article refers to Bush as a "Make-Believe President." The Dems are not going to be able to call it a right-wing attack on Kerry.

kelly,
Thank you for your service.

You're very welcome. It was an honor to serve. Semper Fi, Kelly

Let's not let this SOB get away with his lies. The fact that he continues to lie reveals volumes about this guy.

Right...I can hardly believe this is from the Village Voice. I thought they'd find some way to make this a positive article. Then again, Kerry's pretty far to the right compared to the Voice. Maybe this is just a prelude to their endorsing Nader.

"Let's not let this SOB get away with his lies. The fact that he continues to lie reveals volumes about this guy." That's why I called Laura Ingraham yesterday. I am not going to let the left continue to spread lies about the men and women who served their country proudly in Viet Nam. It was bad enough that we were spat upon and denigrated publicly and privately. There is no reason why after having one draft dodger for POUS we have to let another liberal lie his way into office. I will never understand how the good people of Massachusetts ever elected Kerry senator. And gave him a "pass" for thirty years for the slanderous testimony that he made before the Senate committee in 1971.
Semper Fi, Kelly

Notice how this guy conveniently skips over Jimmy Carter when naming ex presidents

The sun is coming out Mr. War Hero Kerry!

[jtmckee]

this article needs to be sent to every msm outlet on earth.
they will read it and go in believing it cuz of the source

[MJY1288]

John Kerry must answer these questions, These are serious accusations and if even half of them are true, he deserves to be put in jail

Check out this article, by the Villiage Voice no less

Drugs were prevalent during the Vietnam War. Plus, drugs were prevalent during the protesters. What I would like to know is why no one has asked if Ketchup Kerry used drugs. Bubba Clintoon smoked but didn't inhale. Bubba was just a plain draft dodger. What about Ketchup? Since ole Ketchup Kerry prides himself on his medals and his Vietnam service plus his protesting days with Hanoi Jane, Ketchup, being on both sides of the fence where drugs were just for the asking, how could he have avoided partaking of coke, marijuana, heroin, uppers & downers to get his high? Did he in fact become an addict?

bump for later

[Dr._Joseph_Warren]

A Secret Service agent then working at the White House, John Syphrit, told committee staffers he had overheard part of a conversation about the Hanoi proposal for ransom. ..... four men were involved in that conversation—Reagan, Allen, Vice President George H.W. Bush, and CIA director William Casey.

....Department of Defense, which was supposed to be under examination. (Dick Cheney was then defense secretary.)

Kerry is certainly culpable.

But is anyone else bothered by the involvement (and apparent inaction) of Republicans like Reagan, Bush and Cheney???

Why weren't these guys raising a big stink over this????

This picture from the article is significant.

Corruption runs deep

The guy goes to Vietnam and slaughters innocent women and children in a free-fire zone -- an immature rich kid with a big gun. Wracked with guilt, he comes home and instead of taking responsibility for his actions, he blames everyone else - government, military, society, thus beginning the cover-up. By the time he has an opportunity to finally do something for his POW peers, his guilt pushes him away from them and toward the North Vietnamese whose families he had slaughtered - an appeasement of sorts. His votes against major military investments and reasonable intelligence programs continues his flight from the shameful actions he took in a war long ago. The man is pathetic.
