Brant used to put Kerry back to bed at night when Kerry was sleepwalking.

Bump for later.

and the hits... just keep right on coming, the Kerry Koolaid Krew has reached critical mass!!!

[wai-ming]

"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.

[VRWC_minion]

If Kerry claimed he took part in the war crimes, just how did he do it without those he served with ?

[CaptainK]

KERRY: "Why are all these swift boat guys opposed to me?"

JOHN KERRY IS

[No_Outcome_But_Victory]

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.

[Lunatic Fringe]

Dem presidential hopeful John Kerry personally phoned anti-Kerry swift boat vets

WHOA! Isn't this ILLEGAL?!?!

[chilepepper]

drip, drip, drip...

[Sabertooth]

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?

[Junior]

Kerry and Brant slept in the same quarters, and Brant used to put Kerry back to be at night when Kerry was sleepwalking.

Somnabulance will get you kicked out of the Navy quicker 'n $#!+. A guy in my division was caught sleepwalking one night aboard ship. He was processed for separation later that day.

[jmstein7]

BUMP!

[AmishDude]

DO NOT TAKE THE CALLS. Any colluding will hurt the 527 status. Direct Kerry to the lawyers.

[clintonh8r]

"....I was talking about all the rest of the veterans."

Well, just f**k you then.

[jpsb]

Kerry is learning (the hard way) that the population of the USA is a hell of alot smarter then the population of that tiny socailist state he represents. In the USA we like and honor our veterans.

[rod1]

So Kerry's claiming that the atrocieties he "witnessed" firsthand and testified about were committed by US soldiers completely removed from those stationed with him.

In other words he saw none of it. One way or the other he is lying.

[GailA]

all the rest of the veterans

That's over 2 million of honorable men he's called baby killers and rapist. 4 of them my cousins and 1 my ex-hubby. None of them were war criminals. One holds a Purple Heart, he walked with a cane for many months after he came back from Nam.

[auboy]

Bump for later reading. Thanks!

[stockpirate]

Kerry is saying that his statements were not about the Swiftboat Vets but the rest of the Vets who served in Nam.

So, he is talking about Vets that he "NEVER SERVED" with in Vietnam. Yes, he wasn't even in the same 100 sq. mile area as they were.
