John Kerry : "war hero" or a "war criminal"
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/1186991/posts
Yep. Kerry tried to silence those who'd question him about his service through "war hero propaganda", but the "hero" propaganda had a short life.
The truth was bulging at the seem, and finally exploded to get get out. Kaboom!
Thanks for the info but is there a lot of difference? Do we really want other countries, esp France and Germany involved in our elections? I mean he's the POTUS and can just tell the Dems no. It's probably going to be ugly enough as it is, without foreign involvement, IMO.
Kerry, are you proud of calling our soldiers and vets rapists and butchers, you miserable POS?
I was in ROTC at Cornell during the time that Kerry was performing his 'Nam-related antics. Might I understate that he and his organization was not a positive influence for my ROTC experience, and that of my classmates.
I have no idea what the SwiftVets saw there, and being AF myself, have no concept of naval tactics or methods of operation. I would like to hear more from them.
They deserve an opportunity to explain at length what they saw, heard and felt. The media ought to give them a fair chance to do so, grill them at length, and make every effort to get the full story.

Good job, Ketchup boy, you just keep talking.
I would vote for you BUT i don't like lying WHIMPS.
Absolutely NOT true!
See Krodg's post above.
Back at ya.
THE NERVE!!!
He's done nothing put preen himself all year about being a war hero and then poo-poohs his anti-war past by saying "That's 35 years old"???
Yes, Kerry, I think the whole damn subject is 35 years old and if you were any sort of a real man you'd be campaigning about how your record in the Senate qualifies you to be president or how your stand on the issues qualifies you to be president.
Instead YOU are the one that bases your whole candidacy on something that happened 35 years ago.
Shove it, Kerry! Shove it up your pinko ass!
(sorry, Jenya, none of this meant for you...)
OK! What is it? Untrue, or grossly inaccurate? Because it cant be both.
The fact that Kerry lied to a Senate hearing, is already an admitted fact by Kerry. He called it an exaggeration, (a nice word for not telling the truth), when he told the committee about atrocities that he never witnessed. And did his country a great disservice by doing so. On the other hand, he gave great ammunition to the Viet-con propagandist.
As for Kerrys Vietnam service, there are obviously differneces of opinion amongst his fellow soldiers. He made his heroic service to his country the main focal point of his campaign. If there are others who served with him who didnt see as being so heroic, then it is up to him to dispute their charges.
There is no defense for lying!!!
According to the SBV interview, yes. There were 4. Others were pulled out by other soldiers, but no mention of them getting Silver Stars for doing so. (It appears Kerry was the only one for some reason. Maybe the Sliver was one of those medals Kerry applied for himself, and the paper work snuck through the system like the others?)
In my best Hank Hill voice, "That's enough outta you, Hanoi John!".
Thank G*d for that its not true! It changes my attidude completely!
What else can he do? The Democrats have already hired thousands of left wing trial lawyers to monitor the election. You know what they'll do. The election wouldn't be settled for years, and Bush would be slammed again by the lying left.
This way, the lawyers lose most of their power. The left would have to war with UN if there's a problem.
What else can Bush do? What would you do?
OK. Thanks for sorting it out for me.
I guess I was half asleep this morning.
Glad to see that we are all on the same page.
Insanity has long ago taken root and is now growing to maturity in this once-great nation.
