Is John "F." Kerry his real name? I am to that stage with John Kerry. This is just mind boggling. Why would he tout Vietnam so much when it is clear that there are a lot of questions not only about his medals but now what he says happened? Guess he thought he could get a free pass from the media and no one would question a true Vietnam "hero." Boy was he wrong!
The jury is still out on that. This, and the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth advertisment, might well be buried by a media that is inclined to protect the myths of John Kerry. Further, the "powers that be" in the GOP do not want these issues to be raised, and a fair number of Freepers concur (that these issues should not be raised, at all).
It's Kohn.
The guy almost seems like a pathological liar. Given the sad fate of Lori Hacking, perhaps Mrs. Heinz-Kerry should sleep with one eye open.
Funny you should say that. I noticed when the swifties were giving their news conference that several of them referred to him as, I think, John G. Kerry.
I'm sure it was just a mistake, but you kind of have to wonder, given Kerry's history of lying.
The "J" and the "F" are real, it is "Kerry" that is faked. It's his irish name. Actually it was his grandfather that dropped original Jewish family name for an Irish name.
The four month war "experience" is just a vehicle for his current political ambitions. Just as it served to gain him notoriety when he came out against the war, he is now conveniently using it to create a political persona to make him over as a war hero in order to contrast himself with Bush. He threw away medals when it served his purposes and now wants credit for earning those same medals. If he were a Republican, the leftwing media would be all over him. Look at how they went after Bush's National Guard service.
Because this bllsht worked with the voters of Massachusetts. I was one of them and took his claims at face value. After all, he was a decorated Vietnam war vet! </sarcasm>
Because Kerry is a Manchurian Candidate -- born and raised to serve the higher orders of globalists, humanists and socialists.
He spent his childhood in Switzerland and Berlin. He was sent to Viet Nam in order to turn right around and condemn it. He re-filmed his exploits in Viet Nam because he needed to memorize the script. He tossed his medals because he knew they were meaningless.
He is not real.
Actually.....Kerry isn't his real name. Story and source below:
In the case of Sen. John Forbes Kerry, new scrutiny led to the discovery that the grandfather of the Massachusetts Democrat was Jewish, born Fritz Kohn in a small town that was once part of the Austrian empire and now is in the Czech Republic.
It's quite simple. Because bill clinton lied his face off and got away with it for years and kept getting re-elected to public office, the terminus being the Senate's vote not to dirty his name after the House impeached him. As a democrat, what really was there to make him think it wouldn't work for him, especially since he's been re-elected to the Senate repeatedly?
Look, I've been screaming this from the rooftops! Get off this VN thing because it totally detracts from his 20+ year senate career which he did absolutely Jack Shinola!
Kerry gets to shape the history and the debate with VN. I personally think Rove is waiting until Sept to hit Kerry with his dismal senate record.
No, his real last name is Kohn. Has grandfather converted from Judaism to Catholicism, and changed his name to attempt to masquerade as Irish as well. A new twist on "Look British, think Yiddish".
Shades of "The Matchmaker". An Massachusetts "Irish" Senator sends an aide to Ireland to find his roots. Turns out they don't exist, because his roots are really in eastern Europe and his grandfather changed the family name.
