Even worse there are enough people in this country for one reason or the other that could get him elected and most of the reasons go against America's best interest.

Sean Hannity refers to these people at the Kerry Clinton Kool Aid drinkers. I even heard a Kerry supporter on the radio who said, "Even if Kerry did lie, that does not make a difference to me".

Can you believe these people????

This is where the Democrat Party has arrived. The moderate to conservative no longer exist and the ones that say they are act like puppets on a string.

FR has been on this story for a few weeks. It is slowly coming to a boil. It will hit mainstream soon I believe.

They are attempting to set Kerry up as THE hero who exposed the frauds within VVAW and thwarted the suversive plans of those extreme radicals within the VVAW.

Kerry is dangerous and scarey.

You are so right! Kerry is outlying Clinton-Gore already and I didn't think that was possible. Any trips to Russia or China in his background? Have a really bad feeling about this guy -- team him up with Hillary and the bad feeling will be twice as bad.

He is about as un-American as they come which makes me really wonder what his TRUE agenda might be. Negotiating with the terrorist mantra and giving them the idea if they do enough damage that he (Kerry) would defeat Bush borders on treason IMHO. At the very least he is undermining United States foreign policy and this Administration for political gain.

My husband wrote a letter to the editor detailing much of this story....not surprisingly, it was not printed.

When questioned about why.....the editor of the editorial page said he was 'not satisfied' with the sources cited.

BTW the paper is owned by the NYT.

Incumbent VP Rice would kick her butt.

Rice v. Hitlery would be a great race. One sided, but none the less great.

Maybe this is just Hillary's picadors weakening the bull, so the thick ankle matador can finish him off with a flourish.

My thoughts exactly. She The Unspeakable One is not going to allow a blockbuster punch at Kerry at this time. She is going to let things drip out slowly, to soften his support a little a time, then just before the Dem convention comes the knockout blow to finish him off. This is gonna go all 15 rounds.

Good Job

I look at all that they have done,
They sure have done it fast.
They’ve started the rebuilding,
And Saddam’s time has past.
The people cheer our soldiers,
And wave as they go by.
The quagmire’s in John Kerry’s mind,
Another lib’ral lie.
No they’re not done but they’ll prevail,
The terrorists will flee.
They owe it to our fighting force,
Iraq will soon be free.

Does anybody know if this Nicosia guy is a friend of the Clintons?

No.

He's a biographer. He writes big long footnoted books.

This is why he has the goods on Kerry's lies.

He is being ignored compared to Brinkley.

I agree about the timing and her desire for a last minute "I'm here to save the day" routine rather than be an actual candidate. I figured that she'd step in after CFR muzzles people for the last 60 days, and her minions in the partisan media have free reign to coronate her. At the earliest, it would be the convention to maximize the effect of her stepping in and having pictures of the adoring sycophants beamed worldwide. However, at Kerry's current trajectory, it seems like a difficult thing to have him tone it down enough to make it to April let alone either of those other dates.

Taking all that into account, look for the 5 days off Kerry is taking to begin a slow buildup of positive stories about him and the missus including one or two of those "Mr. Kerry went off to Idaho as the combative winner of a crowded primary season and emerged as the Democratic candidate for President, a thoughtful and measured opponent for an incumbent President." They'll paint him as this year's Mr. Gravitas in the hopes of keeping him intact till the final meltdown can be timed to Hitlery Rotten Klintoon's specifications.

Kerry Lied In Press Conference Where He Refused To Apologize For Calling Republicans Liars

Kerry Lied In Press Conference Where He Refused To Apologize For Calling Republicans Liars
Compiled | March 12, 2004 | Hon

Yesterday, John Kerry held a press conference on Capitol Hill where he adamantly refused to apologize for calling his GOP critics "the most crooked, you know, lying group I've ever seen."

However, in the course of this brief press conference Kerry told at least two lies himself:

Kerry Says Credibility Not Damaged By Former Comrade's Lie
By Melanie Hunter
CNSNews.com Deputy Managing Editor
March 11, 2004

(CNSNews.com) - Democratic presidential candidate Sen. John Kerry Thursday said his credibility was not affected by his previous association with a man who fabricated his military credentials while serving as executive director of a prominent anti-war group that included Kerry.

"I think our credibility was tremendous," Kerry told CNSNews.com's Marc Morano during a press conference on Capitol Hill Thursday. Kerry was surrounded at the press conference by Democratic members of the U.S. Senate.

Al Hubbard appeared with Kerry in 1971 on NBC's Meet the Press , was introduced as a former decorated Air Force captain who had spent two years in Vietnam and was wounded in the process. In reality, Hubbard had lied about his military rank and other issues, as later investigations revealed.

Kerry said he hasn't spoken to Hubbard since the week of April 19, 1971, "and everybody was disappointed by what they learned back in 1971. To his credit, [Hubbard] did serve his nation. He had simply exaggerated his particular position. But nobody knew it at the time, and those things happen."

Source

It's clear that Kerry lied on at least two counts.

Hubbard did much more than misrepresent his rank. Hubbard claimed to be a pilot, to have held the rank of captain, to have seen atrocities and to have been wounded while in Vietnam. None of this was true. There is no record that Hubbard ever went to Vietnam. He was not wounded.

But at the time even, John Kerry defended Hubbard, citing the confession as proof of Hubbard's integrity. "Al owned up to the rank question," Kerry said. "He thought it was time to tell the truth, and he did it because he thought it would be best for the organization." Source

The funny thing is Kerry even confronted Hubbard with this information--during a showdown at at VVAW meeting in July 1971--which is after the date Kerry now claims he last spoke to Hubbard.

From Gerald Nicosia's book, Home To War pg. 211:

In St. Louis in July, two months after Dewev Canvon III, VVAW held its most turbulent national meeting to date. Many remember it as the meeting where John Kerry and Al Hubhard went head to head. Kerry made a long speech punctuated at frequent intervals bv the demand: "Who is Al Hubbard?" Voicing his opposition to Hubbard's various political and social agendas, Kerry even challenged Hubbard to prove he was a Vietnam veteran. Feeling supplanted, and weakened politically by the impending resignation of arch supporter Mike Oliver (who was about to leave for California as a field organizer), Hubbard "freaked out," screaming insults at Kerry from the opposite end oft he hall. Each time Kerry would denounce his authenticity, Hubbard would bounce up out of his chair, holding his back and grimacing, as if in great pain, and at one point he even pulled up his shirt to exhibit his scar.

Kerry wrote a rave review for Nicosia's book. He had a book party for it in his Senate office. So he is aware what is in it. It looks like Kerry is lying when he now claims to have had not further contact after April 1971.

It is certainly clear that Kerry lied about the extent of Hubbard's misrepresentations about himself. But Kerry seems to lie about a lot of things.
