LMAO!!!!
this post bttt
They just said on Fox News that it is a violation of 527 for Kerry to call one of the SBV members. The SBV member told Kerry right away "I are one" as he put it. Then Kerry stayed on the phone with him for ten more min. after he found out. Shouldn't Kerry be prosecuted for this crime? Yeah right, dream on. The Left is so CROOKED. Kerry reminds me of the old song, "There Was a Crooked Man."
My father would, according to Kerry, be one of those "other veterans"...Kerry can go to hell.
I think they're more like communists, or .... Clintons.
Sad.
Always attack the messenger, even if the messenger brings the truth to light, if it helps one politically.
And as for backfiring-Kerry has FINALLY done something, and ONLY ONE THING, for this nation, that I can think of...
He has, through his dispicable actions after coming home from Vietnam (after demonstrating his cowardism and ambition medal hunting there) HELPED TO EXPLAIN the TRAGIC, DEVASTATING crushing of the Vietnam troops and the constant bombardment of our American resolve at that time.
This is healing and it has given all of us a TARGET!
Now we know just WHO was instrumental in doing this trashing....JOHN KERRY.
We know he has lied back then.
We know he THREW AWAY his medals from the war....how's that for demeaning a precious tribute that probably thousands of VETS held dear.
KERRY, because the the FABULOUS Swift Boat Vets for Truth, has been exposed as the leader, the LEADER of the pack of rats who trashed our vets and our nation and attempted to destroy our will with their vicious lies (heck, some of his buddies parading around with him, the anti-war vets, some in kerry's book he wrote back then-The New Soldier-WERE NOT EVEN VETERANS of VIETNAM.
Sick stuff.
And Kerry has helped to UNCOVER why we all hurt so badly back then....because of the actions and exaggerations and LIES of this metro-sexual, ambitious, COWARD!
Bottom line:
1. Kerry can stop this "attack" on him simply by releasing all his records, thus proving the Swift Vets wrong...
2. Or he can send his brown shirts with their brown books to destroy real vets who served honorably.
3. What kind of "man" chooses personal destruction when a simple release of records would make him a winner?
Unless, of course, he's been lying about his records like he has everything else.
Ping
Bump for later...
No. I'm only the poster. The letter was sent to me this morning via e-mail so I don't have a URL source.
When we read about the continued misuse of power by Komrade Kerri's Kerrorists, we have one response that is like throwing holy water on these Kerrorists.
That response is to donate and to donate again to the Swiftvets fund. Then we enable these brave Vets to buy more ads.
Each ad they have run is like throwing Holy Water on the Vampire, moi Kerri.
Below is the link for donating. Those who haven't should and those who have donated, might want to donate again.

Let's see, the british did this to the signers of our Declaration of Independence, x42 and ole broadbeam did this to anyone who came forward to testify against x42, ie, Linda Tripp, now the democrats are doing this to the dependents of and the Swiftees themselves.
I've always said America is made up of the Best and worst people of the world, and the democrats are proving to be the worst.
When will Kerry learn. . .
The best time to shoot yourself in the foot
is when it _isn't_ in your mouth!
My father was one of those "other veterans" also.
How very interesting. These men have done nothing more sinister than cast doubt Kerry's accounts of how he gained his medals, and they're going to get this kind of treatment from the Democrats? I hope any Swifty who is maligned in this way goes before the nearest camera and complains loud and long so folks will know the kind of man they're being asked to support for President.
