"...I can cite many, many instances, sir, as in combat when these men refused to fight with us, when they shot with their guns over tin this area like this and their heads turned facing the other way. When we were taken under fire we Americans, supposedly fighting with them, and pinned down in a ditch, and I was in the Navy and this was pretty unconventional, but when we were pinned down in a ditch recovering bodies or something and they refused to come in and help us, point blank refused. I don't believe they want to fight, sir..."

With all the swagger of a triple amputee, former Senator Max Cleland rolled to President Bush’s Texas ranch to hand deliver a personal letter. The letter, signed by nine Senate Democrats, demanded that Bush condemn the vicious attacks on John Kerry by the Swift Boat Vets for Truth. On an August 13th taping of Larry King Live, President Bush said that "Senator Kerry is justifiably proud of his record in Vietnam and he should be,” and called Kerry’s service “noble.” In the same interview he denounced all 527’s against both him and Kerry and stated all of the ads should...

Go to page 21 read to 25 "[redacted] that on April four, one nie seven two, a representive of the North Vietanese Government at the Paris Peace talks telephoned the 'movement' in the United States to be ready to take action, presumably demostrations, to counter expected escalation of bombing by American air forces in South Vietnam as a result of the increased military action of North Vietnamese forces in Quang Tri Province, South Vietnam.

What the FBI files and history of Vietnam Veterans Against the War, (VVAW) reveal about, VVAW and John Kerry: 1. VVAW Plan to assassinate seven US senators. 2. VVAW was training to execute a Phoenix plan to decapitate the leaders of the US Government. 3. Member of VVAW arrested in-route to VP Agnew speech with an explosive device (BOMB). 4. VVAW running guns to a black militant group in Cairo IL. Use link 12 page 131, also same as link 10.. 5. VVAW funded by Communist party of America. 6. VVAW receiving funds from the Communist Party of a country...

It only shows Kerry for a second (at around 1:15) but you can get a feel for the radical nature of the event and organization. Listen carefully near the end and you will hear a VVAW member state that the next time he fights will be to take these steps. Referring to the steps at the US Capitol or the WH.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Were John Kerry and the veterans organization he led the real reason the Republicans broke into Watergate in 1972, with information on them the target of the espionage? Was doing so an early onset of Republican political paranoia against his work, a harbinger of the pending campaign against him in 2004? Bob Weiner, the 1971-72 Youth Voter Registration director for the Young Democrats office at the Watergate headquarters of the Democratic National Committee and recently a Clinton White House staffer for six years, is asking these questions after doing a little research to refresh...

Recently I have read that John Kerry has told the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth that he was not referring to them in his senate speech in 1971, but to all the other Vietnam War veterans. Well, we should apply the same standard to this that Kerry and his news pals used, that is; That he did not serve in their tent, unit, team, foxhole, aircraft, patrol unit, or squad so therefore he cannot know what these men were doing or not doing. Therefore, because by his own admission that by these rules above the SBVT couldnot have known, he...

I have no views on whether one or more of John Kerry’s bemedalled wounds from the Mekong Delta 35 years ago were self-inflicted — though the Kerry campaign, in its second big concession to his chastisers, now says his first Purple Heart-earning wound might have been ‘unintentionally self-inflicted’. But there’s no doubt every wound from the last 35 days is self-inflicted, beginning with the candidate’s disastrous decision at the Democratic Convention to play up Vietnam and play down Iraq, 9/11 and anything else that happened in the last 30 years. Since then Kerry’s shot himself in the foot so many...

kindly post or freepmail links to files. thx.

Bump this, and show your love, support, and prayers to the Swift Boat Veterans who are taking a ton of heat to stand as witness against a dangerous man. I've read and seen enough to believe them! They are doing the RIGHT THING! And you can bet at least some of them are Freepers! GOD BLESS YOU! -- Joe

Why are the Big Media savaging the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth? Why are the Kerryites telling us to move on and debate the real issues--health care, education, the economy? Because they know this could kill John Kerry's candidacy. Because they know this is not just about Vietnam, but also about the credibility and character of the man who would be President. I have followed Kerry since he became famous. In 1971, I urged Nixon not to enforce Chief Justice Burger's order to remove Kerry's Vietnam vets from the Mall. We don't want another Bonus Army episode, I told the...

A very simple petition that you can sign, asking Kerry to turn over those records and put this behind us. Click here to do so------- Dear Senator Kerry Please, for the sake of all Americans release all records relating to the allegations made by the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth (SBV) so that this election - and our country - can focus on the other important national and international issues at this critical time. Only you can put an end to this distraction. It is apparent that this story won?t go away no matter how you choose to fight it...

Commence firing...   With cash in their war chest and momentum on their side, the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth launched yet another blistering television ad against John Kerry. The ad features one of Kerry's own swift boat crew members, Steve Gardner, refuting Kerry's decades-old claim that he and his crew were in Cambodia. Here is the transcript of the ad:STEVE GARDNER:   “I spent more time on John Kerry’s boat than any other crew member.John Kerry hasn’t been honest, he’s been deceitful.John Kerry claims that he spent Christmas in 1968 in Cambodia and that is categorically a lie.Not in...

The Irony is that Kerry is opposed to the Patriot Act on civil liberty grounds at the same time he is trying to deprive a group of patriots of their freedom of speech. Whatever names Kerry's surrogates call the swiftboat vets in the coming days, I'm sure it won't be as bad as what he called them on the Senate Floor and in his book.

As Democratic hopeful John Kerry whines about the Swift Boat Veterans questioning his Vietnam “war service,” more revelations have surfaced which challenge the legitimacy of his first Purple Heart. The Senator claims that that medal was received because of enemy fire he took, but his own personal diary contradicts that assertion. While the Senator’s supporters tried unsuccessfully to portray President Bush as being “AWOL” during the Vietnam War, they won’t address the fact that Kerry tried to defer his military service at that time for 12 months. And what would Kerry and his friends say about the fact that his...

Something started bothering me tonight about Kerry's action reports -- MINES. Only in action's involving LTJG Kerry do we find reports of mines detonating without contact near Kerry's boat. How is it LTJG Kerry is the only skipper of a swift boat who encounters mines that mysteriously detonate before a boat actually runs over it? There is one exception of course, and that is PCF-3 which all documentation makes clear that a mine had detonated under it after running over it. Going over the entire chronology of COSDIV 11 you won't find anyone reporting mines detonating near a swift...

In his continuing implosion, Kerry has evidently decided to make suppression of free speech his new campaign nexus. Only six short days ago, Kerry uttered these words:Of course, the President keeps telling people he would never question my service to our country. Instead, he watches as a Republican-funded attack group does just that. Well, if he wants to have a debate about our service in Vietnam, here is my answer: "Bring it on."Kerry makes a feeble attempt at laying the consequences of his own actions coupled with the swift boat veteran's ire at the feet of George W. Bush. Well...

Many thanks to all those 1,122 Freeper who have gone to my website since I posted my "John Kerry's military disservice pales in comparison to what he DID when he came home!" Campaign Button last evening. Looking foward to seeing this button on TV during the Republican Convention. Hit excerpt link for both version to print...
