Another inelegant grab of links and quips, but be certain to follow the links within the links, which lead to more links, to get to the bottom of this story.

I don't know if you heard that John Gibson had Randy Barnes, the MO Kerry coordinator and ex-VVAW member on yesterday too. Barnes basically used the talking points that Larry O. used....no truth to the story, only one guy came up with idea which was immediately hooted down etc.

A comment on this blog points out their lie though and I'll post it here:

John Gibson, interviewing a VVAW member who was at the 1971 KC meeting on Fox just moments ago, asked if Kerry was there. The gentleman said he did not remember Kerry being at the meeting at all.

But Gibson's redirect won the day. Gibson outlined the Phoenix Program (a military operation aimed at knocking off North Vietnamese leaders) and talked about Scott Camil's suggestion that VVAW pursue a domestic Phoenix operation to kill US Senators supporting the war. Gibson asked the vet (I didn't catch his name) how Kerry reacted to the plan. The vet said Kerry didn't like the plan and loudly argued against it. He thereby accidentally proved that Kerry was there at the meeting, and that he (the vet Gibson was interviewing) was not telling the truth when he said he did not recall Kerry being at the meeting at all. He did recall Kerry's presence enough to remember details about the argument, he just lied about it when asked directly earlier in the inverview.

Thanks. You're a great American.

Thanks for all the links. I heard Tom Lipscomb on the John Batchelor (Monica Crowley) WABC Radio program last night discussing his articles about this. What I find totally amazing is that Kerry has stated he "has no recollection" of attending such a meeting. The FBI files prove that he WAS there, and he CONTINUED to serve as the spokesman for this radical group for another year or two! So his claim that he "resigned" cannot be proven.

If I had attended a meeting where someone suggested assassinating U.S. Senators, I would certainly REMEMBER being there! Especially if I was now serving as a U.S. Senator myself!!

I'm only half serious, but maybe this is why some of our left-leaning senators so hot to ban guns now?
