Trump Awakens Kerry’s Vietnam Anger With Slam On McCain
The Daily Beast ^ | July 19, 2015 | Mike Barnicle

The Iran nuclear deal that could prevent a war must have evoked another deal to end a war almost 50 years ago in the Secretary of State.

John Kerry was angry.

“Listen to this. Listen to what Trump just said about John McCain,” Kerry was saying over the phone. “ ‘He’s not a war hero. He’s a war hero because he was captured. I like people who weren’t captured.’ ”

“That’s unbelievable,” Kerry said. “That’s beyond outrageous.”

“John and I have some serious differences on a lot of things but he is nothing other than a hero and a good man. Where was Trump when John got shot down over North Vietnam? In school? At a party? Where was he?”

For many months now, years even, Kerry has been point man in Barack Obama’s attempt to restrict Iran’s plan to develop a nuclear bomb. He has been a walking high wire act, traveling a region that is nothing less than a geographical bonfire filled with the debris of failed nations, countries that have collapsed into chaos and terror largely because of the contrived plans of men like Dick Cheney who dreamed of the day when Saddam Hussein could be toppled. The conservative ideologues got their wish while the United States got a larger, longer war and the Middle East became an even bigger source of horror and death....

He has yet to be tried for that.

And he never will be.

Kerry was not angry that his mosque blew up Boston,
or that Kerry himself ignored the 911 attack warnings.

Nope.

But this plagiarized post describes a hit close to home.

I’ve always thought Trump was kind of a nut, but if both McStain and Kerry hate him, he must be da man!

No worries here for Trump. All he has to do is yell at Kerry like the Iranians did and Kerry will fold.

Kerry left a sick wife to marry the widow of the Ketchup King.

McCain left a sick wife to marry the daughter of Arizona’s ‘Beer Baron’.

They have much in common.

I hadn’t ever focused on that. It wasn’t something that came across my radar. I’ll have to check it out.

Who better to defend McCain than Hanoi John Kerry?

American Patriots Against John Kerry

The 1970 meeting that John Kerry conducted with North Vietnamese communists violated U.S. law, according to an author and researcher who has studied the issue.

Kerry met with representatives from “both delegations” of the Vietnamese (North Vietnamese and Viet Cong) in Paris in 1970, according to Kerry’s own testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on April 22, 1971. But Kerry’s meetings with the Vietnamese delegations were in direct violation of laws forbidding private citizens from negotiating with foreign powers, according to researcher and author Jerry Corsi, who began studying the anti-war movement in the early 1970s.

According to Corsi, Kerry violated U.S. code 18 U.S.C. 953. “A U.S. citizen cannot go abroad and negotiate with a foreign power,” Corsi told CNSNews.com.

By Kerry’s own admission, he met in 1970 with delegations from the North Vietnamese communist government and discussed how the Vietnam Warshould be stopped.

That there is treason.

Most articles about this miss the part that until January 20 1969, LBJ was President. Definitely on Christmas 1968. If a Democrat ever sent any troops at all into Cambodia, leftists heads would assplode everywhere. Kerry only could have possibly been sent in to Cambodia by President Nixon during the last two weeks of his tour and that didn’t happen.

The average American didnt give a $hit about McCain’s war record in 2000, and 2008. If they did, he would have been president instead of letting the left mock him over and over.

Americans in 2015 could still care less.

I’ll let some conservatives here run cover for that twit if they have such a soft spot for his “honor”. I, like many Americans, have bigger things to focus on that maybe all of the other candidates can start addressing rather than giving Juan a hug.

John McCain war hero and John McCain the RINO are two separate personalities, but since John McCain the individual has chosen to blend them into one person, he has nothing to complain about. McCain is just about the most worthless, destructive Senator in the RINO herd, and the DemocRats realize this when they support him. Unless, of course, he is running for office.

“Beyond outrageous!” says the guy who gave himself a Silver star for a boo-boo on his peenger.
And LBJ gave himself one for flying as a passenger in a cargo plane ... but it *was* in a war zone, OK?
Democrats and McCain: they get one another.

Kerry protecting McCain is the best gift to McCain’s primary opponent.

Oh my gosh.

If Trump wanted to he could rip Kerry to pieces. Use the current agreement with Iran as proof positive of the complete and utter failure of Kerry as negotiator, etc. And tie McLame to Kerry as identical failure twins.

Let’s see how Trump takes this one. I really hope he doesn’t start to falter or show signs of weakness. If he does, the sharks will come in for the final kill.

Trump agreed with Sheryl Atkinson about being unfairly treated by the media. You’re right Trump. You are. Don’t back down, double down. You are seeing them start to stumble and fall. Keep up the pressure on how the msm lies and distorts what you are saying. Demand an apology from the msm. Keep hammering at them.
