ACTUAL AUDIO OF NAVY DOCTOR WHO TREATED KERRY FOR FIRST PURPLE HEART INJURY - (Kerry Lied)

Analysis - RAT Goons Threaten Broadcasters Over Swift Boat Kerry Expose Washington, DC - PipeLineNews - In an unprecedented move, attorneys representing both Senator Kerry and the DNC have attempted to intimidate broadcasters who might be motivated to accept advertising from the Swift Boat Veterans For Truth Committee. This group has put together a devastating indictment of Senator Kerry's 4 month medal-tour of duty in Vietnam. What is immediately apparent in the DNC/Kerry attorney's statement is that it repeatedly engages in factual error - it completely misrepresents the Swift Boat advertisement - to the degree that one must question...

XXXXX DRUDGE REPORT XXXXX SUN AUG 08, 2004 19:04:35 ET XXXXX SWIFT OFFICERS AND VETS: KERRY LIED ABOUT SPENDING CHRISTMAS IN CAMBODIA Since the early 1970s, Kerry has spoken and written of how he was illegally ordered to enter Cambodia. Kerry mentioned it in the floor of the Senate in 1986 when he charged that President Reagan’s actions in Central America were leading the U.S. in another Vietnam. Here’s what he said as excerpted from the new book, UNFIT FOR COMMAND: I remember Christmas of 1968 sitting on a gunboat in Cambodia. I remember what it was like to be...

I can't I was surprised when I saw Meet The Press this morning. They summed up Swift Boat Veterans for the Truth as Texas (AKA George Bush) Republicans questioning Kerry's war record. Pundits also managed to praise McCain and condemn Bush for not denouncing the veterans. The best part however is how the host filling in for Tim Russert described Christmas in Cambodia. Evidently Kerry misspoke about being in Christmas in Cambodia. I think more appropriately the event was misseared into his memory. Old media is doing its dangdest to ignore new media like talk radio and the internet. Maybe...

Accepting the Democratic nomination for vice president, John Edwards said of John Kerry, "If you have any question of what he is made of, just spend three minutes with the men who served with him then." The Democratic National Committee is trying hard to keep you from spending a minute with most of the sailors who served with Kerry during his abbreviated tour in Vietnam, because they have unflattering things to say. The DNC is threatening to sue television stations which run a commercial produced by the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth. Of the 23 officers who served with Kerry...

Seems Kerry's "I'm a Swift Boat Hero" story has sprung another leak. Kerry claimed a Bronze Star with "V" device for rescuing Jim Rassmann, an Army SF 0-2 after a mine exploded under a boat, knocking Rassman into the water. That Kerry pulled Rassman out of the water is not contested, but the Bronze Star is now being questioned. According to tro friends at network, not just Rassman but a total of 4 men went into the water that day. Kerry saved Rassman, another boat saved another soldier and a third boat pulled two people to safety! The problem is,...

John Kerry accused American GIs of widespread war crimes while testifying before Congress in the early 1970s. John Kerry's bid to become commander in chief of wartime America has opened old wounds among some former Vietnam-era POWs who bristle over Kerry's antiwar activism and atrocity allegations during the Vietnam conflict. Those activities and statements, pushed out of sight by a campaign that spotlights Kerry's service in Vietnam, were used by the POWs' North Vietnamese captors to sap the morale of prisoners and U.S. troops still in the field in South Vietnam, former POWs told United Press International. "They were always...

The account of Kerry's citation here's what happened: Lieutenant (junior grade) Kerry was serving as an Officer-in-Charge of Inshore Patrol Craft 94, one of five boats conducting a Sealords operation in the Bay Hap River. While exiting the river, a mine detonated under another Inshore Patrol Craft and almost simultaneously, another mine detonated wounding Lieutenant (junior grade) Kerry in the right arm. In addition, all units began receiving small arms and automatic weapons fire from the river banks. When Lieutenant (junior grade) Kerry discovered he had a man overboard, he returned upriver to assist. The man in the water was...

John Kerry has no honor and he endangers America. While John Kerry promises that he will take care of us veterans; those of us who weren’t born yesterday know that he’s lying and he knows it. How do we know it? Well, we know that each and every one of the Neocoms who support him shares the feelings of “verplanck colvin” who recently posted the following on this site: “…Oh, and as for Vietnam, GET OVER IT. This post-baby-boomer is sick of hearing the self-centered bleatings of a washed up generation debate over this war AGAIN. Who cares if Kerry...

John Kerry needs help obtaining ALL his military records. He's a billionaire but nobody on his staff will help him. (Good help is hard to find) Remember back in April he promised to make ALL his military records available? And here it is August and STILL no full records. (Bush never said he had all his military records BUT Kerry did.) So lets stop the nasty rumors about Kerry's service! Let's stop the attacks! Help John Kerry tell the truth!

Hanoi Candidate Kerry's Plan Hanoi Jane For Kerry Osama For Kerry

"I remember spending Christmas Eve of 1968 five miles across the Cambodian border being shot at by our South Vietnamese allies who were drunk and celebrating Christmas. The absurdity of almost killed by our own allies in a country in which President Nixon claimed there were no American troops was very real."

What is wrong with the TV and Cable newsrooms? Why do they protect AND promote Hanoi Kerry? Why is that talk radio and the internet are not afraid to tell the truth? Why do the TV and Cable newsrooms refuse to "question Senator Kerry's patriotism"? Why do the TV and Cable newsrooms look for the negative news BUT ignore they are backing a traitor? A) The TV and Cable newsrooms are willing to sell us out to make the big bucks from Hanoi Kerry campaign ads.They will even lie on "the poll results" to get you to think a traitor...

Dear Bill: 1) If John and Harry attend the same high school, and John and Harry sit at seperate, but adjacent, lunch tables in the cafeteria, does that mean that John and Harry did not go to school together and that John does not know Harry? You have used the same logic to state that the Vets didn’t serve with John Kerry and don’t know him 2) If Bill owns a bank and John owns a bank and Harry puts some of his savings in Bill’s bank and some of his money in John’s bank, does that mean that Bill...

<p>CNN) -- Democratic vice presidential nominee Sen. John Edwards will return to Lawrence, Kansas, on Sunday for a rally to make amends to hundreds of disappointed supporters.</p> <p>The supporters had turned out in Lawrence after midnight on Saturday morning, expecting the Kerry-Edwards train to slow or stop so they could get a glimpse of Edwards and Democratic presidential nominee Sen.

On October 14, 1979, John Kerry described a remarkable event from his days as a Swift boat officer for the Boston Herald: "I remember spending Christmas Eve of 1968 five miles across the Cambodian border being shot at by our South Vietnamese allies who were drunk and celebrating Christmas. The absurdity of almost being killed by our own allies in a country in which President Nixon [sic] claimed there were no American troops was very real." -- President Nixon, of course, did not assume office until January of 1969. On March 27, 1986, during a speech opposing President Reagan's policy...
