Months ago, I was chatting with a Republican who is very, very knowledgeable about Kerry and I mentioned Kerry's 1971 travels to Paris, and meetings with Madame Nguyen Thi Binh. Binh had been a member of the Central Committee for the National Front for the Liberation of the South, and was now Foreign Minister of the Provisional Revolutionary Government (PRG) of South Vietnam. The military arm of the PRG was widely known as the Viet Cong, just as Madame Binh was widely recognized as the Viet Cong delegate to the conference.
"Yeah, I've heard about that," the Republican said. "I've heard a lot of interesting things about that, but I don't think I want to talk about that just yet."
My eyebrows were raised, but he wouldn't say more.
Well, apparently Newt Gingrich just said to Sean Hannity, very slowly, very carefully, that John Kerry traveled to Paris three times to meet with the Communist leadership in secret.
I think we now know what that Republican didn't yet want to talk about.
There was discussion of it on FR way back during the winter.
Maybe googling will bring it up, but it was discussed around here.
Not sure it got any other coverage though, and at this point I can't point you to it.
Voters sadly don't care. Focus on what he did in the Senate. That's where you hit him.
Well, on googling now, I'm not finding anything on it.
Maybe it was just speculation on FR, I don't know at this point.
But there was discussion then, and someone reported that she had filed back then.
But if she hasn't filed, at least we're safe from her this year.
Cal, I could just cry reading your posts 163 and 164.
It makes me sick.
Be sure to read post 162...
This is old news.
No Such Agency ping
Not to mention your other posts.
Not sure what you mean. I know the Paris trip has been discussed all year...I've participated extensively in those threads. What I found new was:
1) The reference to THREE trips and
2) It appears someone's got the goods on this story and is holding his fire until Kerry is most vulnerable to a public airing of his activities.
If those weren't news to you, then I simply missed where they were discussed.
If someone, anyone, can claim that he made one of those trips in a SR-71 the DEMS will have to investigate. Well, won't they? I'll wait to see that.
Yes, you know it and I know it, and taking part in a conspiracy to assassinate U.S. senators is a federal crime as well, as is stealing classified documents, but Dem'Rats don't care about the law, the press gives them a free pass, the Republicans are usually too timid to pursue these things, and the sheeple continue to pull the levers for the traitors.
The best way to make this stick is a Swift Boat Veterans-style ad campaign, which bypasses the media gatekeepers and presses issues that the GOP won't usually touch. I would be surprised if the Bush campaign makes this an issue, or the GOP in general. I saw Newt Gingrich last night talking to Hannity and was glad to see him bring it up, but I'd be surprised to see the party press the issue.
No Comment.
I hope you're right. Every time I think I've seen the ultimate in hypocrisy, dishonesty, and slime from the left, they once again outdo themselves.

He went to PARIS...not kaboomski...LA BOOM!!!

I wasn't impressed by Hannity. Hannity's surprise at the story about Kerry in Paris talking with North Vietnamese communist laeders shows he has not yet read "Unfit for Command". How could he not be aware of Kerry's freelance negotiating behind the back of the US administration?
The big question is, How much funding did Kerry and his protesting "peace" groups (VVAW, CPUSA, etc.) receive from Soviet and North Vietnamese sources?
