THOMAS LIPSCOMB STORY

Reporter Thomas Lipscomb wrote the story which is linked above in the NY SUN. It has the potential to end the Kerry presdential run.

I had a great conversation with Lipscomb a short while ago. This story was too hot for some of the majors. But Lipscomb assured me it is well-sourced and is dead on.

Two witnesses have placed John Kerry at a Kansas City meeting of the hierarchy of the Vietnam Veterans Against the War in November of 1971. At that meeting, they actually took a vote about assassinating United States senators. It was called "The Phoenix Project" and was the brainchild of Scott Camil. Kerry spokesman David Wade has denied Kerry was at the meeting.

The two witnesses who place Kerry at the meeting are Terry Du-Bose and Randy Barnes. What is very interesting is that Barnes is a big Kerry supporter and the head of Missouri Vets for Kerry. As a supporter, Barnes would certainly not make up a story that would hurt his candidate. He told Lipscomb of Kerry's attendance at the meeting.

Think of the implications. If the mainsteam media and major news networks do their homework, they may discover that a man who wants to be president was at a meeting discussing the possiblity of assassinating United States senators. That is a conspiracy. Instead of the White House, does John Forbes Kerry belong in the Big House?

Get on the phone to newsrooms and shame them into covering this story. A major mainsteam journalist returned by email in about a half hour after I sent him info. He finds it "interesting." Let's see if pursues it. He is notable enough, that if he does the story, all hell will break loose in the presidential campaign.

Note: Lipscomb is not a right-wing ideologue. He did a recent story defending Kerry over his medals. He also recently did a story in which he went after George Bush's National Guard service. He told me that he expected to find a drunken rich kid with coke up his nose. Instead, he discovered that Bush actually did more than make up the meetings he had missed and he honorably fulfilled his duty. And Terry McAuliffe knows it.

WOW! MEGA BUMP

John Kerry

[xm177e2]

If Kerry was there, and spoke against the plan, and resigned from the organization--all he has to do is say so.

Is he going to get caught in a lie when the truth would suffice?

[BobFromNJ]

Bump to you Doug!

[MasonGal]

BUMP!!!!

[HitmanLV]

Depends on how he voted at the meeting, I suppose.

[Cousin Eddie]

This is going nowhere.

Whether he was at the meeting or not, the press will portray it as him resigning from the group out of indignation that they would even discuss such a dastardly plan.

He'll come off looking better in the end. Bank on it.

How did Frankenstein vote?

[TBall]

I don't want anyone else but Kerry to run against Bush.

Hillary has the tape.

She will leak it on October 5.

"I committed atrocities. I am a war criminal. I conspired to assassinate US Senators. I did everything I could to weaken US intelligence. I did everything I could to weaken our military power. If elected President, I promise to back away from the War on Terror. I promise also to raise your taxes -- through the roof! I'd like your vote ..."

[doug from upland]

According to the witness, he voted against the plan and then resigned, orally. There is no evidence in writing of a resignation.

Yes, he voted "no." But if he attended that meeting, his very attendance was part of a conspiracy. If he wanted nothing to do with it, he had a duty to inform authorities about a potential plot to kill senators.

Nice work, Doug. Perhaps we'll hear you discuss this inmore detail with Hugh Hewitt later today.

[Dead Dog]

If he was there, and NEVER spoke about the plan, isn't he is a co-conspirator..regardless of his position?

If you or I had done the same in 1971, we would still be in the pen. We'll, not me anyways, I was in diapers.

[ClearCase_guy]

he had a duty to inform authorities about a potential plot to kill senators.

As he had a duty to name names when he told the US Senate that he had witnessed war crimes in Vietnam.

[BooBoo1000]

I want Kerry to get the nomination. I do not want the " Wicked Witch" to be brought out and dusted off at the Convention. Leave Kerry alone. Plenty of time to plaster him after the nomination..

[doug from upland]

I hope Hugh returns my email and has him on.
