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!!!

"John O’Neill: Why don’t we deal first with whether he volunteered. The records show that he actually applied for a deferment. He had gotten four student deferments in a row at Yale from the draft and he applied for a deferment to go study in Paris.

"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."

The following is from an article that was in my local paper last week:

"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>

Don't know if she's a lesbian or not, but I can assure you, there isn't a man who'd marry her. I don't recall having seen a more heinous looking woman in my life.

Madam,

Your brother attempted to avoid service too, he applied for a defermnent that was denied.

When faced with the draft, he volunteered for the Naval Reserve, the softest option he could find, for fear of being drafed into the Army.

His Naval "record" was lagely based on his own fabrications, not withstanding those parts that are now being declared outright forgeries.

His own journal, and the eyewitness accounts of other decorated veterans, contradict the claims that make up his ficticious Naval Record.

He is a Fraud

He is UNFIT TO COMMAND.

Yes, and thank's for sharing it. Has anyone checked to see if Kerry's sister started life as Kerry's brother?

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.

What a load of BS!

The only reasons Kerry “volunteered" were:

Kerry’s draft number was coming up.

Kerry tried for a deferment, to study in France and was turned down.

Kerry joined the Navy so he would not be drafted into the Army and be posted into the jungles of Viet Nam.

Kerry was in a safe location aboard a guided missile frigate USS Grimely(?), but being the most junior officer was not for John.

Kerry applied to command a Swift Boat, which at the time he “volunteered” was a safe post patrolling the coast.

So much for Kerry “volunteering”!

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?

Very good question. Kerry sure doesn't seen too heroic here.

What is it with the Kerry family .. none of them live in AMERICA .. but they want to rule it ..??

I DON'T THINK SO!!

And .. because the democrats have made "the standard" as having to be on Kerry's boat to make any comments about his service .. I'd say this "sister's" statements don't qualify.
