MY BROTHER, John Kerry, decided to volunteer to put his life on the line to serve his country in Vietnam. A lot of guys dodged service, but not my brother John. As Bill Clinton pointed out not long ago, when push came to shove, a lot of young men found other alternatives, but not my brother John. He volunteered for service and he went to Vietnam, and by every official US Navy account, he acquitted himself heroically. I watched my brother put his life on the line in service to our country as so many sisters and brothers, parents, and other family members are doing today with loved ones in Iraq and Afghanistan and elsewhere. I am really mad that anyone dares question any soldier's service, particularly my brother's outstanding record in Vietnam.....

Somebody on one of the news panels last week said the only way this is going to "go away" for Kerry is if he sits down and addresses the issues.
Doesn't look like he's going to follow that advice.
Damn, he really does come from a family of poodles.
Bump!
Yep.
They are related.
No problem.
Arrggh!
LOL
Now we know what he'd look like in drag. Has anybody ever seen the two of them together at the same time?
Note to self: When defending someone whose honesty is being questioned, don't cite liars.
The rest of her "plea" is a hoot - straight out of the Democratic Party handbook.
Never married? Lesbo skank?
Just curious.
All he is going to do is sic his detectives on any one who dares to buck him. Which is a dictator's tactic.
You mean like this?
Moreover, these vicious attacks are diverting attention from the critical issues affecting Americans today: a lackluster economy, a health-care system in deep crisis, serious national security concerns, the ongoing instability in Iraq, and so on.
Like F'n has anything in his security playbook that augurs in his favor!
Gardner (kerry's gunner) was asked (by Roger subbing for Rush) what he would do if kerry unleashes personal attacks against him or his family. He replied, "Go Hunting"! Roger asked, "Hunting"? Gardner, "Yea, for "payback"!
"BRING IT ON" kerry!!!
LLS
Kerry has now used his daughters his wife his sister and a wheel chair bound veteran to defend his. When is he going to come from behind the skirts and answer for himself?
How does one defend the indefensible? How can a siser defend a brother who lied through his teeth, deserted his fellow vets, divided this country in two, inspired anarchy, riots, and hasn't done a damn thing for 20 years in the Senate?
You sure that isn't John Kerry pre-botox and pre-hair straightening
Wreaked?
In your August 28, 2004, Diana Kerry writes in defense of her brother. But, how does one defend the indefensible? How can a sister defend a brother who lied through his teeth about war atrocities and his record, deserted his fellow vets, divided this country in two, inspired anarchy, riots, and hasn't done a damn thing for 20 years in the Senate?
Your brother did irreparable harm to this country. My brother was one of those Vietnam soldiers that John Kerry denigrated. He's not alive to speak his mind today, so I am doing it for him. How your brother thought his treasonous activities of the 70's would be forgotten by the men whose reputations he destroyed, shows me John Kerry is out of touch with reality. Today those veterans have families, children and grandchildren, and Senator Kerry...we will never forget.
Let us know if they print your letter.
The "sensitivity" with which this "mongrel" (Douglas Brinkley word) has been ever so telling of what he thinks of the "little" people.
Yeah, well....
And Scott Peterson's mommy thinks he's innocent too.
I highly doubt they'll print it. First of all, I don't live in Massachusetts. Second of all, it's probably too inflammatory for the wusses of Beantown.
Your letter gets to the point of the wounds JFKerry inflicted and now wants to pour salt into.
This is the "EVIL" of JFKerry seeking to "reenact" his actions of Vietnam and after, once again upon a whole new generation.

But enough of old Joe, let's concentrate on Teddy now. This fine example for our youth has quite a colorful history all of his own. He was thrown out of Harvard college for having another student take a test for him, this of course, was covered up (an early trend starting) and was forced into the Army by old Joe for a 2 year stint as a Military Police "Honor" guard at SHAPE Headquarters in Paris, not a bad assignment for a rich, cheating brat during the Korean war. By the way, the normal enlistment period for that timeframe was four years, not two like draftees. After his service, he was allowed back into Harvard to complete his degree and go on to further education, all greased by his father. I'm not sure if Teddy had a real job, that entailed getting his hands dirty, but was appointed as a Assistant District Attorney in Suffolk County in Massachusetts in 1961 (big surprise there, huh?)
Great letter.
They know the heat is on their boy Kerry.
I hope they get a box full of letters.
Grotesque. She looks like a transgendred, syphilitic whore.
These brave men aren't wishy washy politicians who buckle at the least sign of adversity. These brave souls bite back.
Isn't she still on the government payroll? She was a Clinton appointee that GW kept on.
Effin' in drag
yup...lesbeeyan
Uncle Teddy's been pretty quiet on all of this hasn't he? Is he in Rehab?
I dunno...I guess the women in Effin's family do not age well.
re: "and by every official US Navy account, he acquitted himself heroically"
Could that be because every US Navy account is based on his description of what transpired? If this were a computer program instead of Kerry's bid for the presidency it would be in an endless loop and the only way out would be the three-fingered salute. I would be happy to give Kerry a three-fingered salute, just as soon as I find another person since I would need three hands for the salute!
Yipes - Dame Edna, watch your back!

She looks like Kerry in a Barbara Bush costume.
Memo to Diana,
Please tell your BROTHER John, that if he wants to dance, he will have to pay the Fiddler.
I was watching Hannity & Colmes last night and there was a former Congressman guest that was tailing Kerry the day of an Anti-war protest. He personally observed Kerry and his comrades take down 50 US flags, hang communist flags, URINATE on AMERICAN flags, and said that a US flag was BURNED right in front of Kerry! As a proud, former US Army Sgt. it would be my duty to do what I could to stop that activity by whatever means I had available. This idiot, Kerry, deserves jail time because if that ain't treason, he can KMA!!!
"The Draft Board denied the deferment. He was up near the top of the list. He volunteered at that point in time in lieu of getting drafted."
" So, it is true that he volunteered, but he volunteered right before he was going to get drafted, after applying for a deferment that got turned down from the draft."
"He volunteered for the Navy and the Naval Reserve and that was fine, but later when he came back as an antiwar guy, he had to explain what he was doing in Vietnam."
" So, he gave an interview to a publication called The Harvard Crimson. In this interview, he explains that he volunteered for the Navy, that he didn’t want to get involved really in the Vietnam War, that he volunteered for Swift Boats because he understood they were out in the ocean, the Viet Cong after all didn’t have submarines or ships of any kind and that he could sort of see the war and report on it but not really be a part of it. So, that is the story of how he got there."
HIGH 5!!!!!
"Despite Democratic campaign efforts to highlight the Massachusetts senator as a war hero, [Nick Graziano] remains outraged by [John Kerry]'s anti-war efforts. "Anybody who did not spit on a Vietnam veteran in 1968 can do so now by voting for John Kerry," he said. "This man is totally anti-our defense."
Larry Elder told us who listened to his show that John O'Neill is a democrat, who voted for Gore and supported Edwards until Kerry got the nod. He is not a republican schill, FWIW>
