JOHN KERRY: Several months ago, in Detroit, we had an investigation at which over 150 honorably discharged, and many very highly decorated, veterans testified to war crimes committed in Southeast Asia. These were not isolated incidents, but crimes committed on a day-to-day basis, with the full awareness of officers at all levels of command. It is impossible to describe to you exactly what did happen in Detroit--the emotions in the room, and the feelings of the men who were reliving their experiences in Vietnam. They relived the absolute horror of what this country, in a sense, made them do.

They told stories that, at times, they had personally raped, cut off ears, cut off heads, taped wires from portable telephones to human genitals and turned up the power, cut off limbs, blown up bodies, randomly shot at civilians, razed villages in fashion reminiscent of Ghengis Khan, shot cattle and dogs for fun, poisoned food stocks, and generally ravaged the countryside of South Vietnam, in addition to the normal ravage of war and the normal and very particular ravaging which is done by the applied bombing power of this country.

We call this investigation the Winter Soldier Investigation. The term "winter soldier" is a play on words of Thomas Paine's in 1776, when he spoke of the "sunshine patriots," and "summertime soldiers" who deserted at Valley Forge because the going was rough.

We who have come here to Washington have come here because we feel we have to be winter soldiers now. We could come back to this country, we could be quiet, we could hold our silence, we could not tell what went on in Vietnam, but we feel, because of what threatens this country, not the reds, but the crimes which we are committing that threaten it, that we have to speak out.

This is Communist Pacifica Radio's tape of John Kerry testifying with his haughty Boston Brahmin accent to completely imaginary war crimes by U.S. Soldiers in Vietnam, supposed described at Jane Fonda's Winter Soldier program.

How can anyone take the man seriously after his fantasy testimony. Listening to the tape you can tell this is not the voice of a confused young war protester, but of a mature veteran attempting to deceive Congress and the entire United States

Magnificent catch.

Kerry is toast, finito, adios, buh-bye.

[pushforbush]

The video link actually shows the maggot infested war protestor's description of the imaginary war crimes at the "Winter Soldier" event. Unfortunately, Pacifica Radio doesn't tell anyone in this program that none of the alleged crimes were found to be true after a thorough investigation by the Pentagon.

This is Communist Pacifica Radio's

and taxpayer funded...

[jwalburg]

Here is what he calls the United States, according to the transcript there: "millions of men who have been taught to deal and to trade in violence, and who are given the chance to die for the biggest nothing in history." The biggest NOTHING in history? And he wants to be president of it?

JOHN F. "BARRYMORE" KERRY....a legend in his own mind

And last night on Hardball when Charlie Black, republican, pointed to this testimony (after the usual nod to Kerry's Vietnam service) Matthews YELLED at him, "Don't you believe him?" and Black said "No!", and Matthews said "How do you know? You weren't there".

So Chrissy still believes all the stories the likes of Kerry told way back when.

[cyncooper]

The word is spreading. Hugh Hewitt played it in its entirety this past week, too.

You can buy a copy on CD for $15

But I'm not sure I want to send $15 to Pacifica Radio

[jwalburg]

I am reading through the transcript on the page now. Yes, he said that. He also said this:

We listened while, month after month, we were told the back of the enemy was about to break. and we feel, because of what threatens this country, not the reds, but the crimes which we are committing that threaten it, that we have to speak out.

He really sees no threat from Communism. All these poor Viet Cong want is to work in their rice paddies, he says, free from helicopter strafing. But whose rice paddies were the poor Cambodians'?

So ignorantly and arrogantly speaking, and as he spoke, giving the enemy even more reason to push a little harder! It makes you angry.

[MEG33]

I believe Chris was so anti war back then that it literally closes his mind. Any testimony that backs his stance cannot be questioned.He is very anti the Iraq war,too.
