Is it any wonder that outraged Vietnam veterans have formed organizations like "Vietnam Veterans Against John Kerry"?

Nope.

It just occurred to me Effin may not have chucked those medals over the fence if he would have earned them a little more honestly.

[No_Outcome_But_Victory]

Oh, and don't forget about the fact that Kerry's VVAW was plotting to assassinate U.S. Senators. Kerry was part of that no matter what he says.

[Dog]

Here is another bombshell..... Kerry in his own words..

When John Kerry testified before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in April 1971, he admitted that he had probably broken the law by going to Paris and meeting with North Vietnamese and Viet Cong leaders. (From page 188 of the hearing record: "I realize that even my visits in Paris . . . in a sense are on the borderline of private individuals negotiating, et cetera. I understand these things." The prohibition against private individuals negotiating--which has been on the criminal statute books since John Adams was President--is contained in 18 U.S.C. Section 953 and is a felony.)

Looks like the cat is out of the bag. Kerry anti-war stories are popping up in the media everywhere.

[raoul2004]

All Kerry has to do is to show us the scars. If he takes off his shirt and I see three nasty looking scars, I'll shut up. (I want proof that they are about thirty years old though) He has his picture all over the place of him windsurfing. Isn't there any old photo of him at the beach with his shirt off? That could be analyzed for proof of his alleged injuries, except for that nasty rice kernal injury on his butt.

[SouthernFreebird]

My father, a VV suffered for years and years the shame that was thrown upon our vets return by bastards like Kerry....may he rot in hell eternally.

As a child of a vet I would never dishonor my father by voting for Kerry.

I wasn't old enough then to defend my father, but I can certainly send a message now that you cannot dishonor our vets and profit from it.

Go to Hell John Kerry!

[Logical me]

Looks like we a loosing the fight. The SwiftVets are getting trashed by the media, and I mean trashed. Currently the CRATS are blaming President Bush for the SwiftVets ad. With no proof, they have the lying media supporting the CRATS side. I cannot understand why we cannot seem to get the truth out without be destroyed.

[Trapper]

This man Kerry needs a background check before being given the nuclear codes of this nation. They do it for airport security job applicants. Why not Kerry . Release your records Kerry or withdraw your application to become our president. I will not vote for you.

I refer to Kerry's gamble that the news media won't finally take a hard look at his anti-war activities...

Do you mean the Vietnam War, the Cold War, or something called "Reagan's Illegal War in Central America?" Kerry was "anti-" all of them.

[hershey]

It's amazing Kerry got away with his lies for so long, but he had well funded celebrities like Haydon and Fonda behind him, plus a compliant press....sound familiar? Don't worry. Times have changed, and Kerry's lies have caught up with him.

[upchuck]

I refer to Kerry's gamble that the news media won't finally take a hard look at his anti-war activities instead of concentrating on his four-plus months of combat-zone experience as a decorated, wounded veteran of the Vietnam War - experience that Kerry incessantly promotes as qualifying him to be president and commander in chief of the armed forces.

Given the just-released second Swiftie commercial (watch it here), which zeros in on his congressional testimony, IMHO, the media will soon be forced to look at his anti-war activities. Just like they were forced to look at his commendations when the first Swifty commercial was released.

More true every day...

Here’s a Letter to the Editor I just sent to our local rag:

Dear Sir or Madam,

Kerry Can’t Stand the Heat

Wasn't it John Kerry who recently said "Bring it on" if anyone wanted to scrutinize his often repeated exploits during and after the Vietnam War? That brings to mind a schoolboy picking a fight in school yard and hoping the target doesn’t take him up on it.

Now, 254 of his former Swift Boat crewmates who have signed affidavits and are appearing in Television ads against him took him up on his call out. Former POWs are speaking out stating the congressional testimony John Kerry gave was fodder for the Vietnamese as they were tortured. They took Sen. Kerry up on his attempted intimidation.

Now Mr. Kerry would like them to back off. Using the same analogy he is begging for someone, anyone to make them stop. However, Kerry's actions during and upon his return from Vietnam should not be beyond reproach. His anti-war actions and allegations against veterans should not be shielded from scrutiny.

Instead of taking the “positive approach” that he said he would, Kerry (as most liberals) sees all manner of conspiracies in the opposition. President Bush on the other hand has endured a year of daily lambasting by Kerry surrogates and a willing media partner. I don’t recall President Bush once asking someone, anyone to pull them off.

As a veteran, which type of individual do I want in my foxhole?

Thank you for your consideration. We enjoy and rely on your paper!

Respectfully yours,
Me

There's also POW/MIA Families Against John Kerry. One excerpt that is very damning of F'n in his role as Chairman of the Senate Select Committee:

CLIP . . .

Senator Kerry presided as the Chairman of the Senate Select Committee when Joe's case, ("Baron-52"), was discussed in detail. This case, along with several others, were "closed" shortly there after. "Baron -52" was a highly controversial case in as much as there exists strong questions as to the intelligence our government obtained and processed, which ultimately determined the fate of all the crewmembers.

The Senate Select Committee's finding's concluded that this intelligence was apparently NOT associated with Baron 52's shoot down, hence EIGHT POW cases were rendered "solved", and no further investigation was now warranted. (ALL were determined to have perished in this crash when the intelligence in question gave direct indications that four had survived and were captured) Senator Kerry was responsible for these actions as his "chair" position gave him final word on these matters.

CLIP . . .

Senator Kerry further dis-allowed "eyewitness" testimony of the crash site to be heard at these hearings. This eyewitness account was later allowed to give a deposition BEHIND CLOSED DOORS, only after several family members wrote in to request he be heard. This deposition was never made public at the hearings.

CLIP . . .

But Senator Kerry goes out to our unsuspecting public stating that "He has pressed our government for answers concerning the POW issue!" ? He attempts to become our "Commander in Chief"? You call THESE answers?

POW/MIA Families Against John Kerry: Betrayed

[stockpirate]

Tid Bit from the FBI files.

There was a group (20) within the VVAW lead by a regional leader in Gainesville FL and they had a plan called "Phoenix Operation", named after an alleged CIA operation to eliminate heads of southeast Asian governments unfriendly to Vietnam.

The VVAW's plan involved decapitating the United States Government in one fell swoop.

Wow, another "mainstream" press article questioning the "big" media's refusal to cover Kerry's Vietnam past.

[conshack]

I served my entire one year tour(7 months and 18 days longer than Kerrry) and NEVER once saw anything that resembled an atrocity(and I was on land full time). We made monthly trips to an orphanige and delivered toys and school supplies that were sent to us from the states.
It is being replayed in Iraq now. About all the atrocities that we're committing while destroying their country. It makes me want to scream.

Mommy Heinz!
Help!

Look what the Washington Post said on 8/21/04

"Although Kerry campaign officials insist that they have published Kerry's full military records on their Web site (with the exception of medical records shown briefly to reporters earlier this year), they have not permitted independent access to his original Navy records. A Freedom of Information Act request by The Post for Kerry's records produced six pages of information. A spokesman for the Navy Personnel Command, Mike McClellan, said he was not authorized to release the full file, which consists of at least a hundred pages. "

Mommy : Please don't be mad
about my hero Al Hubbard.

Head of Kerry's Vietnam Vets Against the War was Vietnam Vet phony
"Many of the stories were later shown to be fictional. Other so-called Vietnam veterans, such as the executive secretary of VVAW, Al Hubbard, a self-styled poet ("See what you've become, Amerika," ends one of his Vietnam odes),
turned out to have no record of service in Vietnam."


Mommy : Why does McCain
still campaign with Bush?
Mommy : Why doesn't Al Gore defend me?
He is a Vietnam Vet.

Mommy : Did Hillary
"leak" FBI Files on me?
I even used her famous slogan?

"Kerry entered and abandoned Vietnamese village and slaughtered domestic animals
owned by the civilians and burned down their homes with his Zippo lighter."



It only takes one idiot to raze a village!

Mommy : Where is Ted Kennedy?
