John Kerry: Obama being 'swiftboated' August 17, 2012 | 4:43 pm

Paul Bedard Washington Secrets The Washington Examiner @SecretsBedard

Sen. John Kerry, the 2004 Democratic presidential candidate on Friday charged that critics are trying to "swiftboat" President Obama with false and "ridiculous" claims and that Mitt Romney is a foreign policy rookie who embarrassed himself during a recent trip to London.

In a letter to Obama's supporters, he railed on the charges Obama has been hit with, including those from the so-called "birthers."

The attacks, he said, "remind me all too well of the notorious 'Swift Boat' attacks I faced in the 2004 campaign." He was referencing devastating charges from fellow Vietnam War veterans questioning his service.

In the note, he also slapped Romney for being a foreign policy novice and potential presidential disaster. "Republicans have a candidate with absolutely no foreign policy experience, who thinks Russia is our 'number one geo-political foe' and who is advised by people who think -- and have repeatedly said -- the Soviet Union and Czechoslovakia are countries that still exist. Romney's two major foreign policy speeches never even mentioned Al Qaeda once, and he's prone to stumbles when he steps onto the foreign policy stage. He can't even manage to visit London without causing an international incident!"

Below is Kerry's note:

If I am not mistaken, it was at the 10th anniversary of 9/11 Memorial service.

Of course on that day I was glued to A&E....they had 1/2 hour and hour long stories, from every perspective one can have.

I spent most of the day crying.

he received a dishonorable discharge from the Navy for participating in anti-war protests while on active duty and for meeting with the North Vietnamese in Paris to “negotiate” peace on his own (which is an act of treason), and that Jimmy Carter granted him a pardon for his crimes. <<<

Can any of that be documented????

Kerry an out and out traitor to his country, gave aid and comfort directly to the enemy while in uniform during wartime.

So someone is viciously telling the truth about Mr. Obama? That’s good news.

It's documented in his military record, which is why he can't release it directly to the public.

Every copy he has ever released has been "examined" first by his lawyers.

Swift Boating is so 2004.

2012 is Swift Kick In The Ass.

We know Kerry's college grades because they were in his military records which were released to the press a few years back.

I don't know whether everything in the files was shown to the journalists or if they revealed everything they saw.

It's possible that there are problems with the records and that they don't say exactly what Kerry claims they say, but it's unlikely that Kerry received a dishonorable discharge and was somehow able to conceal it.

That would be harder to conceal than other discrepancies.

Does Kerry mean Obama is a traitor as well?

Someone needs to remind Kerry that this is the 2012 election.

Our next Secretary of State...

If Obama was John F Kerry or John McCain, he'd have no hope of reelection.
