Short and to the point for the media

How come when Swift Boat Vets speak you shut them up with

"Where you ON Kerry's boat?"

And then attack them.

So have you attacked William B. Rood also because he was not ON Kerry's boat.?

[68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub]

Food for thought Ping

[Steven W.]

Rood's contribution is VERY important - it is totally at odds with Kerry's citation - see here

And the Lame Stream media
who find the real news on Free Republic,
then rewrite and spin the truth.

Mommy Heinz!
Help!

Look what the Washington Post said on 8/21/04

"Although Kerry campaign officials insist that they have published Kerry's full military records on their Web site (with the exception of medical records shown briefly to reporters earlier this year), they have not permitted independent access to his original Navy records. A Freedom of Information Act request by The Post for Kerry's records produced six pages of information. A spokesman for the Navy Personnel Command, Mike McClellan, said he was not authorized to release the full file, which consists of at least a hundred pages. "

Look! What the Harvard Crimson wrote about me in 1970

"...One time Kerry was ordered to destroy a Viet Cong village
but disobeyed orders and suggested that the Navy Command
simply send in a Psychological Warfare team to be
friend the villagers with food, hospital supplies,
and better educational facilities."


Now my shipmates on the

are attacking me.

SWIFT BOAT VETS MEANIES!

Mommy : People can get
MY real book here, right now, online FREE!!
I'm so proud of it!
The New Soldier,
By John Kerry
and Vietnam Veterans
Against the War


Mommy : Please don't be mad
about my hero Al Hubbard.

Head of Kerry's Vietnam Vets Against the War was Vietnam Vet phony
"Many of the stories were later shown to be fictional. Other so-called Vietnam veterans, such as the executive secretary of VVAW, Al Hubbard, a self-styled poet ("See what you've become, Amerika," ends one of his Vietnam odes),
turned out to have no record of service in Vietnam."


Mommy : Why does McCain
still campaign with Bush?
Mommy : Why doesn't Al Gore defend me?
He is a Vietnam Vet.

Mommy : Did Hillary
"leak" FBI Files on me?
I even used her famous slogan?

"Kerry entered and abandoned Vietnamese village and slaughtered domestic animals
owned by the civilians and burned down their homes with his Zippo lighter."



It only takes one idiot to raze a village!
(My original response!)

Mommy : Where is Ted Kennedy?

O'Neill said it all this morning:

Great links and thank you for all your work on this!

[boxerblues]

Dont forget Rood refuses to answer any more questions..his word is law. lol

[writer33]

The cool morning mist settled over the Cambodian border. The engine hummed, moving the swift boat slowly through the mined river. They weren't supposed to be here. It wasn't supposed to be this way. An illegal war conducted by President Nixon. It didn't make sense. Everything about this mission was wrong.

Lt. Kerry's mission was an impossible one. Find and silence Colonel Kurtz. Why had Colonel Kurtz fled to Cambodia? What madness had driven him to this? And why had they chosen him?

It didn't matter now. Now he had to find Colonel Kurtz. He had to silence this loose cannon. Something had to be done. Was he the man to do it? He didn't know. The personal demons had haunted him for far too long. He wanted to be patriotic. He needed to be patriotic. But a political career lay in wait for him back in the States.

Suddenly, the swift boat left the air from the thrust of the mine. Lt. Kerry didn't hestitate. He didn't second guess. He floored the throttle in retreat, hearing a scream from the stern. He looked back to see Jim Rassman in the water.

Could he leave him? Jim was just along for the ride. A ride taking them deep into the Cambodian jungle in search of a madman. The second passed, but Lt. Kerry knew he could leave no man behind.

The fifty caliber machine gun fire barked loudly from the shoreline. Then, he remembered it. He reached in his duffle bag at his side and pulled out his 8mm camera. He jerked the steering, turning the boat around and yelling, "Let's go boys. We're only gonna have one take at this!"

:) HA!

[marmar]

I like it....give him more rope...you have to admit he is doing a wonderful job hanging himself.....

[claudiustg]

Why do they even report on Rood, since he's not available for questions, much less follow up interviews? Does anyone know if we even have a sworn affidavit from him or any of the other Kerry vets for that matter?

[68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub]

I have no quarrel with Rood

He served with honor.

Kerry on the other hand did not.

By Kerry's own admission he took part
AND saw others commit war crimes and did nothing.

That is not honorable.

[68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub]

That pic cracks me up! LOL

[Gunrunner2]

Excellent!

[rineaux]

thought he said he was on another boat not kerry's.

[TommyDale]

Don't confuse ABC CBS CNN FOX NBC MSNBC, et al with any facts.

It's a known fact now that they don't even do their own investigative reporting.

[ride the whirlwind]

Bttt

[RS]

I might have produced one with a SwiftVet creating a different kind of stream that would melt Kerry - but it would not be printed...

[Dante3]

Good question.

[MeekOneGOP]

haha! Thanks. That one was fun to make, too. :^)

[taxesareforever]

A very good read at the following on Kerry's Silver medal. Where's the press on this? I mean ALL the press.

[MeekOneGOP]

ROFL !!! I hear ya ! :^D

[68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub]

"thought he said he was on another boat not kerry's."

EXACTLY RIGHT!

NOW will the media also attack him?

[boxerblues]

I am not questioning his honor.
The one story that did stick in my mind was from this thread.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1196520/posts

"Kerry had personally contacted him and other crew members in recent days asking that they go public with their accounts of what happened on that day he said. Just how Kerry was able to convince Rood to suddenly go public after "5 years is unknown at this time.

His decision to come out and speak now and give his version of what happen and refuse to speak out on the issue again is troubling.

[syriacus]

Good thinking. By Kerry's criteria, Rood's opinion doesn't count.

From the Coshocton Tribune, Dec. 22, 1971, by Murray Olderman, (NEA)

??? His third Purple Heart qualified Kerry to come home, although he was offered a job as an admiral's aide to stay.??? "I decided," he says, "to return and tell the people the real story. My sister Peggy was very mch involved in the antiwar movement then.Two weeks after I was back, I made a speech before the Rotary Club in Groton, Massachusetts, where my father lived, and I really let them have it. But I was fighting pressure, I knew there'd be ostracism and censorship. I was still in the navy as an admiral's aide in New York. What really triggered me was that a friend of mine was killed in Vietnam, Naval Lt. Don Drolz was blown up. He was an Annapolis grad and left a family.

"So I got involved in Moratorium. I have a private pilot's license and flew one of the speakers around the New York area. Next day, I drafted a letter to the admiral requasting permission to resign...

Yeah. We saw Chris Wallace waving around those After Action reports this morning, only those weren't the reports filed by Kerry.

Wow, this is getting good...

The truth is about to happen to the Socialist Democrat Party

[68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub]

OMG! John Kerry Lies? Tell me it ain't so. LOL

[RS]

According to a press release on Kerry's website - Rassmann was not on Kerrys boat....

[writer33]

Thank you. But there's one thing for sure...You'll never forget the sound of a fifty caliber machine gun firing at you, which begs the question: How does someone not remember being fired at? It's that simple.

[cyncooper]

Rood's contribution is VERY important - it is totally at odds with Kerry's citation

Exactly.

Rather than act like we want to cover up what Rood wants to say, we have nothing to fear...but point out that he is contradicting KERRY, not the Swift Vets.

[Gunrunner2]

Yeah. . .good question.

A very good question.

[writer33]

Here's a link: http://www.whiskeycreekpress.com/books/electivedecisions.shtml

[68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub]

Someone should warn William B. Rood that
Susan Estrich and Alan Colmes
are going to attack him
because he was not ON Kerry's boat.

[writer33]

Just a thought. I dinstinctly remember the sound of a fifty caliber machine gun. It is very distinctive.

[RS]

"You'll never forget the sound of a fifty caliber machine gun firing at you, which begs the question: How does someone not remember being fired at?"

VC didn't use 50's ( much ) - the big question is how was noone else hurt except Kerry who bumped his shoulder ?

[Gunrunner2]

Bravely placing his body between his troops and the enemy. . .. . . .bwahahahahaha. . .sometimes I crack me up.

Good question. Here's an answer: So those four months make a President.

[SandRat]

The DNC is dusting off a video clip of one of the Swifties "speaking for Kerry" at a Senatorial re-election stop" The words spoken "in support" are; "noted for his bravado and was among the finest in the unit."

Wonder if there are any Vets out in Freeperland that would want those words used in a "Complete the Record" FitRep going before a selection board or who sat on selection boards that think these are words of praise?

Kerry did at campaign time and his DNC handlers still do.

I know if these words were used in a "Complete the Record" FitRep for a selection board that I was to have my records go before I'd be getting my Resume updated and start looking for a job on the outside.

[68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub]

The DNC can use this

John Kerry and War Crimes in Vietnam

He was in command of a Swift Boat
and ordered his men to do these things.
Listen to this 1971 audio clip in Kerry's own words.

Verrrrrrrry interesting....

Kerry's DD 214 lists a Silver Star with a combat “V” (for valor). As the major correctly observes, the “V” is never awarded with the Silver Star. But the actual wording on Kerry’s DD 214 (see www.johnkerry.com) is: “SILVER STAR WITH COMBAT ‘V’.”

There is an abundance of anecdotal evidence that a combat “V” (called a “Combat Distinguishing Device”) is simply not awarded with a Silver Star. For example, a former Vietnam War POW told us that he has “three SSs, and there was no V for any of them.” Countless other Silver Star recipients all say the same thing. Why? Because, among other reasons, it would be redundant to award a Silver Star for “gallantry” (the statutory term) and then embellish it with a “V” for valor.

Most conclusive, however, is that the law is very clear about the award of Combat Distinguishing Devices.

As long as he was embelleshing the paperwork to include overwhelming forces of non-existent VC hidden in foxholes and intense enemy fire, he might as well have added the little V for Valor in the citation. (Did the approving signatories not even READ the applications he submitted for these self-nominated awards???)

[Seadog Bytes]

EXCELLENT! Thanks!!!

[SandRat]

I've heard it many times to include the first time he uttered those words and yes I'm that old.

Just finished "The Book" and will be passing it around. The Dust Cover is mounted in my truck's rear window for all to see.

It's payback time for the Commie controlled anti-Vietnam War crowd time.

All good things come to he who waits.
