Listening to the Jay Severin Show.
Hannity is on, and just said that they have found film of Kerry burning down huts in Vietnam. They haven't got permission from the Cavett show yet, but he sounded as if they believed they would have it by next week for the Hannity and Colmes show.
Because when you first stated you'd seen the video my first reaction was, well, were you horrified?
You state you weren't and I'm a little relieved. Because I too came of age during the Vietnam war and I remember it being such a confusing time. Indeed I often used the argument that even the Vietnam Veterans were against the war in my unending arguments with my father. I imagine all across the land debates raged over kitchen tables. I was married and on my own, about 20 years old, but I didn't know what to think.
Now I'm 54 and find out that the VVAW was founded by John Kerry for his own political good and I'm bitter.
I remember seeing the body bags on the nightly news as they unloaded them from the airplanes. I remember all the noise about US behavior in Vietnam. There was Lt. Calley. And Jane Fonda, even then I hated the witch.
After a while it became that Americans just wanted that whole episode in our history to go away. Somehow the politicians made it happen.
Which is why now, I wanna know more! Because the truth is descending upon me as the scales fall from my eyes.
A politician like John Kerry could manipulate the news like a romance novel hero plays a willing maiden's body. And people like me were out there in la-la land trying to desperately understand it all.
I'm mad about it, frankly.
Thanks for the ping!
Hey, aren't you overreacting? I mean, it's not like Kerry put panties on someone's head. </ heavy, heavy sarcasm>
As far as I know, there is no such thing as a "Statute of Limitations" for war crimes. This would totally COOK a candidate for president of the US.

I humbly disagree. 40% of the country may never vote for Bush, but that does not mean that they Will vote for sKerry.

Sen. Kerry:
Please sign Standard Form 180 so we can stop asking these questions and get on with the campaign.

Chris Matthews gives me indigestion.
It would not surprise me to see Kerry withdraw with some "ailment". Edwards then selects Hildabeast.
Kerry may just have tooooo much baggage for the Left to handle.
Which raises a question that's been on my mind ever since I heard about his films. If he is on camera who was behind it?
Could you elaborate? Is this a product that PBS sells on CD/DVD/Tape? Does it name John Kerry? Is John Kerry identifiable? What other events does it show involving John Kerry?
BTTT!!!!!!
Did you hear McAwfuls comments that there were just a bunch of angry men at the convention last night? LOL... we've gotten to him. It's great!
I love the smell of burning hooches in the morning...
It was Bob Kerry.
or as New Yorkers call it "Irving renewal" AKA "Jewish Lighting"
Hi ken5050, it's good to see you. How are the neighbors doing across the street? Are they still building stuff in their compound? Have they dimmed the lights? Do you think they'll have a big do on election night?
I think I've read, right here on FR, sometime back, about kerry running around with his zippo, buring the huts. I can't remember the swiftees name, but he was on kerry's boat and he said it has stayed with him, all these years. Golly, I think this was here about a month and a half ago or 2 months. Someone can find it, and show it, I'm sure. I can't because, I'm puter challenged.
