KERRY: "When we dedicated swift boat one in '92, I said to all the swift guys that I wasn't talking about the swifties, I was talking about all the rest of the veterans." Mr Kerry, can you explain whether you were calling all the veterans criminals, or just all the veterans who weren't Swifties, or maybe just the Republican veterans were criminals?

KERRY:
"When we dedicated swift boat one in '92, I said to all the swift guys that I wasn't talking about the swifties, I was talking about all the rest of the veterans." Oh, please God, let there be a recording of this.
Judging by the way Drudge has this thing "quoted", I'll hazard a guess that it is.
This is 'effin' GOLD!

The way it worked was you received your draft number and depending on what it was (I was 7) you then looked for deferments I received 2 deferments for college, if you were not eligible for a deferment you might try to get in the Coast guard the National guard or join the Navy.
I, despite my efforts to avoid it immediately upon receiving my college degree was in the Army and very quickly on my way over. I never have and never will look down on anyone that was more successful than myself in trying to avoid going.

"When we dedicated swift boat one in '92, I said to all the swift guys that I wasn't talking about the swifties, I was talking about all the rest of the veterans." Question: What was it that Kerry said at the dedication that (supposedly) didn't apply to the Swift Boat Veterans?
Did he malign them? Was his statement intended to malign the other veterans?
Why has Kerry singled out the "swifties"? Are they more or less worthy (of whatever he said) than the "rest of the veterans"?
You've really stepped in it now, Mr. Kerry.
To: Callahan
If Kerry claimed he took part in the war crimes, just how did he do it without those he served with ?
To: pointsal
Seems like I heard there is a museum in Viet Nam with a special room dedicated to John Kerry. Is that true? As I understand it, Clinton sent some sort of delegation to North Vietnam in the early 1990's, Kerry was part of the delegation, and the museum has pictures of everyone involved.
It's not like the minute Saigon fell, they plastered up a picture of John Kerry. Though that might be due to an oversight on their part.

KERRY: "Why are all these swift boat guys opposed to me?"
JOHN KERRY IS
To: Callahan
KERRY: "When we dedicated swift boat one in '92, I said to all the swift guys that I wasn't talking about the swifties, I was talking about all the rest of the veterans."Oh sure. You served with Swift Boats, said that you committed the same atrocities by burning down villages, and participating in free fire zones. You thus tarred the Swift Vets just like all the other veterans you lied about.
I hope they don't accept any apology other than your utter political defeat, Kerry.

Kerry is Lurch though. His 'Dean Scream' would just be that low 'Uhhhhhhhh...'. We might not even notice it. :-)

"I expect a Dean Scream any day now.....(grin) "
"Done ... I saw a Clip of Dean this morning at some DC meeting"
I mean from Kerry, ala Dean's implosion. The pressure is mounting on Kerry with each passing hour at this point.
Kerry's going to blow his top shortly. The Whitehouse Press Secretary had it right, he's losing his cool.

Exactly. Kerry said that, except for the swifties, every Nam vet was a war criminal. Priceless.

"They're setting up the defense of the first purple heart that Kerry was simply wrong when he wrote this in his 'diary'."
Ah, the old "I lied to my diary" excuse. Come on now, doesn't everybody do that?

The wheels are really starting to come off the bus. First he admits that he may not have earned his first purple heart and now he's phoning a friend. I'd say he's only got one life line left.

KERRY: "Why are all these swift boat guys opposed to me?" BRANT: "You should know what you said when you came back, the impact it had on the young sailors and how it was disrespectful of our guys that were killed over there. [Brant had two men killed in battle.] KERRY: "When we dedicated swift boat one in '92, I said to all the swift guys that I wasn't talking about the swifties, I was talking about all the rest of the veterans."
Kerry broadbrushed the American military as perpetrating war crimes, atrocities, and the murders of 200,000 Vietnamese annually in 1971, and immediately amended his statement to exempt the Swift Vets... in 1992. So, in 1971, the Swift Boat forces should have known Kerry wasn't talking about them. Is that perfectly clear? It was nice, too, of Senator Kerry to reiterate his war crimes charges against every other Vietnam Vet. Is that undiscovered shrapnel, or did Kerry just blow his foot clean off?
