John Kerry

Sung to Tom Dooley



Hang down your head John Kerry,
Hang down your head and cry.
Hang down your head John Kerry,
We know you’re bound to lie.



You’ve lied about your service,
Over in Viet Nam.
You twist your senate record,
We know that you’re a scam.



Hang down your head John Kerry,
Hang down your head and cry.
Hang down your head John Kerry,
We know you’re bound to lie.



You said that you did war crimes,
Now you say you’re the man.
That has the right to lead us,
I do not think you can.



Hang down your head John Kerry,
Hang down your head and cry.
Hang down your head John Kerry,
We know you’re bound to lie.



You’ve voted yes Iraq War,
Then turned and voted no.
Just what now do you stand for,
We’d really like to know.



Hang down your head John Kerry,
Hang down your head and cry.
Hang down your head John Kerry,
We know you’re bound to lie.

I heard O'Reilly today talking about having Steve Gardner on tonight. It was very obvious O'Reilly already has his mind made up, and doesn't see any proof the Swiftboat Vets are right. He said, "All the proof is on Kerry's side."

O'Neal is going to be on Hannity tonight, and Nightline is going to have a special.

[Arpege92]

I'm so happy that these vets finally get the chance to say their peace. They've been denied this opportunity for far too long, and it's the "Kerry's and the Fonda's" who are now going to see what it feels like to be on the recieving end.

[PurpleHeartHaze]

Dam straight.

I resent MCcain's Pope complex. He acts like he can personally give Kerry absolution. It don't work that way!!!

[Grendelgrey]

...I used to believe Kerry was given a fast track lateral promotion out of the unit,so they could be rid of him.I guess no one then believed he could actually speak out against them the way he did, or become a senator-much less run for the office of president.Since they knew Kerry it would prolly seem ridiculous to think he would amount to anything.

Military units often peg screw off artists and %*ck-Ups with duties that will minimize risk to others.I had just assumed the commanders had gotten together one night and pinned a purple heart on his sorry ass wound as a way to get rid of him,and sent him packing.

The Bush Administration has once again been wise by keeping its fingerprints off this one.They were mum during the "Moore Offensive"and can with credibility remain silent now,all the while munching the canary,hehehe... The Voices of these men ,these Veterans,are heard much clearer and more loudly because they have been the ones who initiated this action. No Media stone wall will hold this back for long.....

[AZamericonnie]

Reading this just breaks my heart. In word & deed Kerry added to the torture of these men. Where is his shame.

[VOA]

The only thing that ticks me...
that these allegations didn't send The Good Ship Kerry to the bottom of Boston Harbor
when he first ran for the House of Representatives.
(If "the press" can get the records of Ryan in Illinois unsealed, the should
be able to find out if Kerry has been bribing his "Band of Brothers" to appear with him
for decades! Get to work, Fifth Estate!)

Let's see former POW McCain's comments on this.

I noticed a subtle shot across McCain's bow...

McCain, who is campaigning for Bush,

The Kerry campaign, asked to comment, sent UPI an e-mail message that included two quotes from a Oct. 21, 1996, New Yorker article entitled "A Friendship that Ended the War" and asked they be included.

"John McCain [...] Going to campaign against John Kerry is something I wouldn't consider.'"

Methinks McCain won't respond favorably to something like this. But I could be wrong.

[kingattax]

McCain gets nutty as a bag of squirrel sh*t sometimes.


go figure him defending the biggest lying rat of the vietnam

war, hanoi johnny

[El Gato]

it's the "Kerry's and the Fonda's" who are now going to see what it feels like to be on the recieving end.

Of what? Spit? Bags of urine and excrement? Those are what some vets got when they got home. Until they get that, they won't know what "it" feels like.

Although a landslide Bush victory would come close for Kerry. Jane has at least made a few, wimpy, gestures of reconciliation and remorse.

[raisincane]

I heard Lt. Col. Tom Collins say the same thing on Greg Garrison's radio show last week. Kerry is so deplorable. A traitor for sure. He must never be CIC.

[PurpleHeartHaze]

Hate to say it, but maybe the NVA got to McCain. There is no other explanation. He should LOATHE Kerry.

Ditto! Karma may be working here.

[TruthNtegrity]

This "gentlemen's club" attitude of the Senate has got to have a line somewhere.

Seeing McCain's cancer-savaged face, I find it difficult to believe that he would just "let it go" when it was Kerry's anti-war statements that were played incessantly in the POW camps and others have said that it got them harsher treatment for not giving in and agreeing with Kerry.

This Viet Nam past has got to be a bag of worms for Kerry but I fear that the MSM will gloss over it. Afterall, they made a big issue of the President's National Guard service in Alabama but have never bothered investigating for themselves, Sen. Kerry's Viet Nam claims to fame.

It's called "vetting" folks, and the DNC didn't have the opportunity to "vet" Kerry. They were so sure, with the Clinton's backing, that Dean was going to be the candidate, that they just didn't do the background checking on Kerry or they would have found all of these issues and had statements at the ready. The fact that Kerry chose to use his 4 months service in Viet Nam versus his 19+ years in the Senate is some kind of denial, the likes of which I've never seen before.

Riding in like a hero, with PH's that are of suspiscious merit, same for Silver Star and Bronze star?

I'm hoping that we can keep sending enough money to the swift boats vets for truth, that the advertisement will keep being played and that at some point, some journalist is going to challenge Kerry with the truth.

I think a public humiliation on this scale might do a great deal to punish Kerry...it will never be enough because we aren't going to stick him in a brick oven as happened to our honorable POW's. It would, however, still be sweet.

[RightWingMama]

Excellent commentary!

[baseballmom]

It had to happen. Sooner or later this nation had to deal with the treatment of our Viet Nam Troops. Face to face.

Yes, I think you're right. It's about time the Viet Nam vets finally had their day. God bless them all, for what they had to endure in war, and then when they came home.

[FormerACLUmember]

American servicemen (and women) are STILL tortured by Kerry's words today.

Heck, I can't listen to Kerry's droning pedantic supercilious verbal diarrhea for two seconds before changing the station.

[Sisku Hanne]

"The measure of a person's character is their whole history up until the present," he said. "It's not what they say they believe or what they'll do when president or all these platitudes. ... And he has consistently taken the side of our enemies and other countries that oppose us or have a different viewpoint."
Worth a repeat! In fact, worthy of a sign!

I was born in 1961, which makes me a little young to understand first-hand what our returning Viet Nam vets went through. But this I now understand in my heart- that instead of the understanding and forgiveness they so desperately needed and deserved, they were met with vicious disdain and disrespect for their sacrifices. They were attacked and robbed of what they needed and deserved most, much as some of our brave soliers are experiencing today when they return from Iraq.

Now when I look at someone like the abominable John Kerry, I don't just see a conniving medal-grubbing manipulator who lied about his fellow soldiers to the Senate subcommittee and who has never once recanted or apologised for his false words, (even after his Winter Soldier conspirators were thoroughly discredited). I also see a man who has committed a more henious sin...fomenting a hateful environment which denied the returning soldiers what they needed to heal their hearts and minds. Not only denying them their dignity and self-worth, but creating a mythos of the anti-war protestor which has survived to this day and now stalks our Iraq veterans.

It is absolutely repellant to me that the same people who practically celebrate the intentional snuffing of unborn babies lives can then turn around and shout "baby-killer" to our soldiers. It creates a hateful rage inside I didn't know I was capable of feeling. May God forgive me.
