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:

Dear Senator Kerry,

The arrogant, "I'm above it all" attitude of you and your wife, not to mention the fact you acted like a metrosexual a lot, turned off a lot of voters in 2004. It's not hard to figure out why you got "swiftboated." By the way, someone you once knew--Michael Medved--clearly described you as cold and calculating, and this was before you even joined the US Navy!

[PA-RIVER]

Just boobs? No money?

[PA-RIVER]

Benedict Arnold was the first case of swift boating, back in the 18th century.

[b4its2late]

He needs to be voted out of office.

[Renderofveils]

He looked silly, yet suddenly his campaign message was clear: Citizen-soldier. Linking patriotism to public service. It wasn't complex after all; it was Kerry.

Was this the staff photo of Laura?

[cranked]

The band-aid warrior seriously needs to get over it and STFU!

[TigersEye]

LOL

The paranoia even causes him to dock his sail boat out of state. But it's not the Viet Cong who haunt his nightmares it's the FBI.

[a real Sheila]

He will turn into a fat, angry and bitter blowhard like Algore.

All that is currently missing is the fat.

[IbJensen]

They should both be waterboarded.

Kerry the gigolo got a Purple Heart for a papercut.

[GeronL]

Kerry is a one trick pony writ large

[LottieDah]

John Kerry = proof that there are more horse’s asses than actual horses. Once a douche, always a douche.

[Brad from Tennessee]

Great graphic. Thanks.

[hattend]

He can't even manage to visit London without causing an international incident!

Kerry must be talking about Obama. Who has the video of Obama toasting the Queen of England? Ha!

[hattend]

Oh hell...I’d look too, in that situation.

[ronnyquest]

"And Obama’s foreign policy experience was...?"

Going to Pakistan at a time when Americans were forbidden to do so.

[CyberAnt]

“’Swift Boat’ charges were true.”

Correct .. the charges were all true by men who served with Kerry.

[gundog]

And then there are those pesky reports he went to Russia where he attended the KGB Charm School for sleeper agents and moles.

Oswald Scholarship?

[Eleutheria5]

“I wonder who’s watching me now? Could it be the IRS?
I always feel like someone’s watching me
And I get no privacy.;.”

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

I know, John-bo, people coming out with the truth is such a travesty. The govt. is supposed to be worshipped and those in power are supposed to be manufactured into celebrities. Go suck an egg, John.

[TigersEye]

"All I wish is to be alone
Stay away, don't you invade my home
Best off if you hang outside
Don't come in, I'll only run and hide

Who can it be now?"

[miliantnutcase]

That’s awesome. Kerry just needs in a mullet in that picture.

[Eleutheria5]

Let’s not forget his other symptoms, though: his delusions of Irishness and his ketchup fetish.

[Monorprise]

It is amazing the kind of power the left have to redefine reality, history, and words, for the large bulk of our population and culture to embrace among other things easy to debunk lies.

[Tainan]

Kerry’s going to be bitter about having the truth told about him until the day he dies.

I'm OK with that.

[AFPhys]

Yeah - I sure think that Kerry being swift-boated (actually he swiftboated himself) was a very good thing.

A similar thing couldn’t happen to a more deserving person than 0bama.

[Dr. Sivana]

What a coincidence that Barry served on the Swiftboats in the Navy too.

Maybe ... Indonesian navy.

[House Atreides]

“They should both be waterboarded.

Kerry the gigolo got a Purple Heart for a papercut.”
******************************************************
Kerry’s “wounds” were self inflicted boo boos and Über-Minor. Corpman to Kerry: “What, did you get hit by a piece of rice?”.

[NFHale]

He’s the Haughty John Kerry...

He served himself in Vietnam, you know...

[crosshairs]

Get a new line, JFK. Everything isn’t about you, you freakin’ blueblood narcissist.

Now, now. He's only a blueblood by multiple marital transfusions.

[TigersEye]

Quite likely exacerbated by eating moldy golden raisins soaked in gin.

[AngelesCrestHighway]

Is Kerry still alive?

[TigersEye]

It's debatable. Kind of like Lautenberg.

Is it alive? An animated corpse? A hologram?

[AngelesCrestHighway]

Oh...That John Kerry!

[Eleutheria5]

No, American. He is the real Jack Kelly, Navy Seal. All Tom Clancy lied about was his new alias (man, the plastic surgery he went through is not to be believed!): Barak Hussein Obama, super-president. He really DID kill UBL. He really is a natural born citizen, but his former identity is a national secret./hee hee hee heee.

[Eleutheria5]

He is a genuine narcissist at least. So I guess he’s for real about something.

[Eleutheria5]

That interacts badly with the daily Botox injections.

[Randy Larsen]

To me being swiftboated means the truth is coming out! I’m well aware of Kerry’s shinanigans.

[TXBlair]

[nicmarlo]

lol

John Kerry: Obama being 'swiftboated'

Did Obama go to Vietnam, too, for a couple of weeks during the war? Did he come home and say all American military men were raping barbarians, as Kerry did?

He probably only wishes he had.
