Kristinn's letter in the Washington Post today!
The Washington Post ^ | August 13, 2004 | Kristinn Taylor

Posted on 8/13/2004, 3:20:52 PM by Dems_R_Losers

The Aug. 12 editorial did not mention one charge that gives credence to the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth: that Sen. John F. Kerry lied when he repeatedly stated that he was on a mission in Cambodia on Christmas Day, 1968. In a floor speech in the Senate on March 17, 1986, Mr. Kerry said the memory of being in Cambodia that day was "seared" in him.

Now that he has been challenged on that by his fellow officers, Mr. Kerry, through a spokesman, says his seared memory is now a "mistaken recollection" and he's not sure where he was that day. His fellow officers say that they and he were 50 miles away at Sa Dec on the Mekong River. Mr. Kerry has been proven to have spoken falsely about one major aspect of his service that he has used to score political points.

Woohoo! Go Kristinn! Let's see if the Post will continue to hide and bury the Cambodia story now. Terry Neal in his online chat yesterday indicated that Post reporters ARE working on this story. But at least Kristinn got it into print in the paper today!!

Sorry if this has already been posted...I did a search but did not find it.

I got my copy of "Unfit for Command," today!!

Soon thousands of Americans will be able to make a decision about Kerry, without being misled by Kerry, Lanny, and Jeh.

Although it's about time, this is what the WP is going to use to say they are giving equal coverage to the other side. Editorial page instead of investigative reporting.

This is going to play right into Kerry's hands if this VN things continues to play out...

Do you really think the MSM is going to be asking Kerry to release his records?

John O'Neill said that two of Kerry's crewman gave interviews to an investigator that support some of the claims by the Swifites of Kerry's actions.

Then suddenly, the crewman wouldn't talk anymore, like they had been told to shut up.

Here's to hoping that one of them gets a spine and has his conscience restored and steps forward with the truth. It will be at that point that Kerry's boat is finally sunk, IMO.

Is Kristinn a Freeper? That`s great! For anyone who wants to know, the NY Post is also a good paper to write to. For every 4 to 5 letters I write one gets printed which is pretty good considering their circulation. The first one they ever printed of mine was a letter I wrote about Jane Fonda mouthing off on something, which is a coincidence being that we are now talking about Kerry.

GREAT Letter! And who can honestly deny, "The Post should give Mr. Kerry's record the thorough vetting Americans need before they decide this year's presidential contest. "

sKerry threatens the Media:

"He inspected the TelePrompter, script monitor, network camera angles and direction of the microphone and drew laughter when he pantomimed hand gestures.

``It's great, can we do it now?'' he told reporters when asked about the address. ``Members of the Fourth Estate, I have called you here to tell you that your reign is over,'' Kerry told reporters, using the historical term for the press."

Brilliant double entendre- best non-dirty one I've seen in quite some time.
