VC surfaces
A new four-legged angle — actually a dog named "VC" — has suddenly materialized surrounding Sen. John Kerry's swift boat service in Vietnam.
In a 2004 presidential candidate questionnaire for Humane USA, Mr. Kerry was asked whether any pets have had an impact on his life.
"I have always had pets in my life, and there are a few that I remember very fondly," Mr. Kerry replied. "When I was serving on a Swift Boat in Vietnam, my crewmates and I had a dog we called VC.
"One day as our Swift Boat was heading up a river, a mine exploded hard under our boat," he continued. "After picking ourselves up, we discovered VC was MIA (missing in action). Several minutes of frantic search followed, after which we thought we'd lost him. We were relieved when another boat called asking if we were missing a dog."
Said Mr. Kerry: "It turns out VC was catapulted from the deck of our boat and landed, confused but unhurt, on the deck of another boat in our patrol."

this was actually on FR awhile back, before i joined up i remember reading about it, but it was so crazy i didn't believe he actually said it! Now we have proof! This dude is a pathological lier! No other way around it! This man CAN NOT be president! Mr. Kerry take one for your country and step down, and talk to you psychiatrist...
John just never gets the story straight. It was actually a killer rabbit, similar to the type that attacked President Carter a few years later, that scared VC, and caused him to leap from one boat to the other.
What kind of A-hat doesn't remember all their pets fondly? What, did they mess up your blow dried hair, or soil your French linen flower print fabric on your $20,000 dollar couches? Poo-poo on your hand made Italian loafers? Looser.
No military records on Mr. Kerry's Web site, which aides say is a complete accounting, mention a mine exploding under his boat or any dog. The only report of a mine detonating "near" Mr. Kerry's PCF 94 was March 13, 1969, when Mr. Kerry says he was injured and a man knocked overboard."Charlie" Rassmann is VC!!!
First licorice the hamster and now VC the dog !?! Animals seem to have a bad habit of falling in the water around Kerry, I wonder if the humane society should be notified...

We all took care of him, and he stayed with us and loved riding on the swiftboat deck." Well, isn't that special!

LOL! Maybe this time he was actually telling the truth. Stanger things have happened.
In other words, this may be a setup. :-)
Man that kerry really is a mater bullsh*tter. I've seen some guys like him.
And it wasn't catapulted. It was "dogapulted".
Does this guy ever stop talking about Vietnam?
"Mr. Kerry, what is your favorite color?"
"Well, I remember in Vietnam I got pretty tired of Olive Drab."
"Mr. Kerry, where is your favorite vacation spot?"
"Well, I can tell you that while I was serving in Vietnam..."
And I thought it was JOHN Kennedy that he emulated.
Which makes him uniquely qualified to be a Democrat.
Kerry is pathalogical and pathetic....only a mentally ill..emotionally disturbed person can be this delusional...
The danger is when guys like this are in power and have money........
Sort of like that little girl in Young Frankenstein, who is catapulted into her bed after Lurch, I mean Frankenstein's Monster sits on the see-saw.
Jeesis H.! Them darn mines were thick as turds in a dog pound!
This guy saw more action than 'Bull' Halsey!
What... an... asshole.
Right on.
One can never catapult a dog any more than one can dogapult a cat.
Well, now Mr. Kerry's own words confirm the fact that the swift boats operated so closely together that a dog could be blown from one boat to another and be completely unharmed.
So, when some idiot tries to argue that the other boats couldn't see him, we can always ask, "Were they out of dog-flight range"?
That seals it. He's delusional.
Hmmmm. Let me see if I understand this. A mine blew up under the boat and catapulted the dog unto the deck of another boat. I find this difficult to believe and improbable. Were the boat's cruising side-by-side? Doesn't seem like a smart patrol technique. It they weren't how far was the dog "catapulted"? 50 meters? 100? And then the dog landed unhurt? Yeah, right......
I see the cop killer mumia has endorsed hanoi john the self professed baby killer.
As small as these 50ft boats are a mine would have destroyed it and probably killed all or most aboard.
But other than his unsubstantiated claim of a mine blowing Rassmann off his about (as opposed to his rapid accelerations away from his brothers in need), has there been any evidence of a mine damaging Kerry's boat? Surely a mine close enough to dogapault VC would do enough damage that it would have to go in for repairs.
Surely a moment like this would have been remembered by a lot of Swiftees, especially as there was no damage to the boat or personnel. Is there any independent confirmation by others this is true - even by those on Kerry's boat? Maybe by those on the "receiving" boat?
Dogs always land on their feet. If you loved animals as fondly as John Kerri, you would remember that.
Well, I'm not sure that the VC claim has ever been associated with a date, especially this particular date. The question I have is what mine blew VC onto another boat?
Was it during the Rassmann incident? Another incident? Where are the damage reports?
**Breaking News**
VC to appear in The next Swifties ad.
Recalls tails of how he was kicked by Kerry off of the 94 boat and saved by his fellow swifties.
PETA denounces Kerry for french kissing Licorice the hamster
Why would any one call their dog VC in enemy country..Can you imagine him calling VC to come here and the men in his diving for cover?
I believe Kerry abandoned the dog in his haste to leave Vietnam.
There are reporters out there who actually bought that line with a straight face -- the one where if you weren't ON the boat, you weren't really there.
So now, Kerry says the other boats were within a dogapault. How far exactly does a dog fly through the air before landing "unhurt" on another boat?
The reason Kerry put in the "unhurt" comment is that he wants everyone to be clear that the dog has no claim on one of his Purple -- rather, Periwinkle -- Hearts.
Cats... That's cats that land on all fours; not dogs. Unless, of course, you are John Kerry.
Was the dog injured? Was anyone else injured?
A mine explosion is a serious event, not something that one would say, "one day a mine blew up my boat, ha ha ha, and the dog, ha ha ha, got ha ha, blown off the deck ha ha ha, give me a minute, this is so funny...

I would have thought with Kerry being French and all, that he would have used a trebuchet.
John Kerry, a loony lunatic, is a sitting senator on a board of national intelligence?
(makes you wonder who the bigger nut is, him or the people who put him there)
He really needs some serious medical attention!
"Yeah, that's the ticket, the mine blew Rassman into the water and the little dog off onto another boat. That mine was so powerful, it turned my lucky hat inside out. The pressure wave from that mine actually flattened out all of the bullet holes in the boats from the enemy fire we were taking. Yeah, that's the ticket. And by the way, I've slept with Morgan Fairchild, yeah, that's the ticket!"

"It turns out VC was catapulted from the deck of our boat and landed, confused but unhurt, on the deck of another boat in our patrol."
WHY doesn't anyone else remember the dogapult of VC? Isn't that something you would remember? How many guys were on his boat? How many guys were on the boat that VC, the magic-flying-dog, landed on? If I were there I think I would remember it for sure.
