Obviously, I never read their book, although I did contribute. Thanks for the info. Just like the MSM to hide the big issues, isn’t it?

Yes it is. I do remember the media only discussing part I (Kerry's time in Vietnam and the medal controversy) of the "Unfit for Command" book, but I can't remember them ever mentioning the stuff from part II, other than Hanoi John's 1971 Senate Testimony.

I've still got my copy of the book. I believe part II was/is far more damaging to Kerry and if it was fully and honestly reported on (or even better exploited by the Swiftboatvets), Kerry's campaign would have been sunk then and there.

Here is how the table of contents for part II of Unfit for Command reads:

Part II: Antiwar Protester

Six: A Testimony of Lies..........99
Seven: Meeting with the Enemy.....123
Eight: Kerry's Antiwar Secrets....139
Nine: Kerry's Communist Honors...167
Ten: Unfit for Command.........175

You can see that the Swiftboatvets gave plenty of coverage in their book to Kerry's trip to Paris and his other anti-war and treasonous activities after he returned home from Vietnam, but the media refused to discuss this.

The stuff that happened in Viet Nam was the only thing the Swift Boat vets could offer firsthand testimony about, IIRC. That may be the reason for the emphasis. It seems pretty clear that Kerry’s discharge was other-than-honorable, since his honorable discharge was issued by Carter, long after Kerry’s service ended. But, it’s still speculation, as long as he won’t release his records.

A Kerry epilogue is surfacing as we write! No thread yet (I don’t think) because the ‘Media’ won’t pick this one up either, but the BBC has. John Kerry’s evil twin Ieng Sary (Cambodia), Pol Pot’s executioner is actually going to be tried by the UN! So another 1.7 million of John Kerry’s dead will soon be surfacing...soon be seared into his memory. Gotta wonder if Pol Pot, Ieng Sary, and Kerry were ever in Paris at the same time, just wondering out loud.
more to follow.
