BOSTON - A liar. A traitor. Hanoi John.
U.S. Sen. John Kerry’s comments on Monday regarding a possible future bid for the presidency, and his arming up against the group Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, are reopening old wounds from the Vietnam War and the 2004 presidential race.
``He’s a liar,'' said J. Craig Herman of Pahoa, Hawaii, a former U.S. naval officer and registered Republican. ``Real heroes and real Navy officers do not not waltz around with a ... camera taking pictures of themselves on duty.''
While some veterans question Kerry’s military decorations and fault his subsequent actions as a anti-Vietnam War protester, other others say they just never warmed to the Massachusetts Democrat’s personal style.
``There’s something weasely about him,'' said Elliot Olson, a self-described independent voter from Minneapolis. ``You can compare him to Bill Clinton, but with Clinton you know what you’re getting.''
The 63-year-old Kerry said Monday that he might run for president again, perhaps in 2012. He also said he has compiled a dossier on his critics at Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, a group that dogged Kerry in the 2004 race.
The comments, reprinted on political blogs including drudgereport.com, opinionjournal.com and lucianne.com, prompted hundreds of e-mails critical of the Vietnam veteran turned war protestor turned politician.

JEFF BEATTY FOR SENATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So what does he know and when did he know it? This should be breaking news if he thinks the GOP will win in 08? Why would he run against an incumbent should a rat win?
Kerry is a blithering idiot. If the favorable media blitz couldn’t get him elected, nothing ever will.
Kerry, you’re married (for now) to a rich chick who loves to not have you around. You’ve also got a decent amount of coin of your own. If you’re going to work every day, you’re doing it for the fun of it. Go get a hobby, moron. Since you’re too stupid to know what to do, which is obvious, let me help you: Retire, go spend some of that marital cash, and take a round-the-world vacation ending at the French Riviera.
Don’t go away mad, just go away. Pulling stupid stunts and proving that you’re an unconscionable attention-whore is not helping you a bit.
How nice. I'll bet the SBV4T have compiled more materials as well.
May the best man win.
So a sitting Senator and Presidential candidate is waving a fistful of dossiers that he has created on a couple of hundred private citizens while he is serving in office.
He won’t do anything now, but if they come out against him during a campaign, then the dossiers will be used to retaliate against them.
He has made this public and the FBI isn’t investigating this little Stalinist yet? The Senate needs to start hearings on this.
The best man never wins here.
Ted screaming “Waterboarding” regarding Michael Mukasey today.
After drowning and killing Mary Jo Kopechne in 1968.
No one seems to see the irony!
You know why RED SOX NATION is so Huge?
All of the smart people moved away!

I still want to know when the creep will be charged with treason.
So Kerry’s “response” is to compile dossiers on his opponents? How about just releasing his service records. It would shut every Swift Boat Vet up if it is truthful. This is like bragging about having a degree from Harvard then refusing to produce a diploma and attacking people who just want to see it.
There, fixed it
Ya know, I think its just possible that he's trying to intimidate the Swiftees into not even considering coming out against him in his senate bid or, perhaps, suggesting to Jeff Beatty that such an alliance would be foolhardy.
Here's a suggestion Mr. Beatty. Get EVERY man-jack you can from the SVPT to stand on the stump with you ... then watch ol' Lurch get the political dry-heaves.
He is just talking out of his A.., er um, “hat” again ;0)
Kerry still hasen’t released his military records like he promised. What is John Kerry hiding?
His original discharge (DD-214). Not to be confused with the sanitized version Kerry so proudly displays -- which was issued during the Carter administration. Jimma's blanket amnesty upgraded a lot of less than honorable discharges, and I'll bet Kerry's was one of those.
I would guess he is hiding a less than honorable discharge and proof that he submitted himself for all his medals
” Since you’re too stupid to know what to do, which is obvious, let me help you: Retire, go spend some of that marital cash, and take a round-the-world vacation ending at the French Riviera. “
No, let him run for the Senate again. I think we have a chance to beat him if the Dems don’t put up somebody else. I’d love to run up the score NE Patriots-style on the SOB.
The form I’m talking about is 180 form to release his service records, we all got our dd214’s handed to us on the way out.
Hmmm... I rad the whole article and it has some records I’ve never seen. Supposedly they were released in 2004, but according to the article there are records released in 2005 AFTER the election that are only available to “the media”. WTF? Isn’t there even ONE member of the MSM who has taken interest in this?
