We cannot let this "Pay no attention to the facts behind the curtain" reporting stand. It is not right to have any presidential nominee, let alone a current senator, who once participated in a serious vote to kill senators. "At least he voted 'Nay'" is not going to cut it.
And they turned KERRY into the VICTIM here, pursued by the eeeevil FBI! My gosh, he was involved in a plot about assassination; I am GLAD they were tailing him!
Also, they say that he resigned "from the VVAW." That is false and should be corrected (in a teeny blurb on page A34...). He resigned from that one post, but he was still quoted as "head of the VVAW" some two years later. He was still a spokesman and said so at the time.
It's mid November nineteen seventy one
A major confrontation, friends, was said to have begun
Some vets had done some planning...they were getting really sore
They would move to the next level in attempts to stop the war
The FBI had been watchin' 'em in action
They're gettin' real scary...what's the next thing they would do?
In Kansas City would the plot gain traction
Would senators see pearly gates before the year was through?
A young John F. Kerry had been telling great big lies
U.S. troops pulled off mass murder, that should come as no surprise
They're killing for pleasure and were zapping testicles
Before the U.S. Congress he was spreading all that bull
The FBI had been watchin' 'em in action
They're gettin' real scary...what's the next thing they would do?
In Kansas City would the plot gain traction
Would senators see pearly gates before the year was through?
Back in Vietnam there were some men held by the Cong
They were undergoing torture...that side thought it wasn't wrong
They used John's words...and for the men it's really rough
John F. Kerry, you're a traitor...we have really had enough
The FBI had been watchin' 'em in action
They're gettin' real scary...what's the next thing they would do?
In Kansas City would the plot gain traction
Would senators see pearly gates before the year was through?
Scott Camil had been screamin' "It's time we were votin'!
Are you with or against us...we must know where you all stand"
John told them no and gave his resignation
'Cause after all, you know, that a career had been well-planned
He's hidden the record and hoped we would not find out
But Tom Lipscomb found the story...we know what John's all about
A lesson Kerry learned is now becoming evident
If you are whacking senators, you can't be president
The FBI had been watchin' 'em in action
They're gettin' real scary...what's the next thing they would do?
In Kansas City would the plot gain traction
Would senators see pearly gates before the year was through?
Scott Camil had been screamin' "It's time we were votin'!
Are you with or against us...we must know where you all stand"
John told them no and gave his resignation
'Cause after all, you know, that a career had been well-planned
I am biased and know what many listeners do not, but it made me wonder if a regular person would think "I wonder why the FBI monitored that group?". I couldn't help but think if more comes out on the nature of the Kansas City meeting that most Americans would agree they deserved monitoring.
OK, I'll read the replies. I hope Kerry's statement is posted.
