I kept focused on Kerrey.

Don’t mean to be ‘picky’ but the above mentioned Kerrey (Bob) from NE, although a Lib, he did serve very honorably in VN (Medal of Honor, lost portion of leg) and was a SEAL and I could possibly considered voting for him in a National Election - if the opponent was like some of these clowns ‘they’ have been shoving down our throat, of course the Libs would never (at least in this day and age) give Bob Kerrey, Sam Nunn, Zell Miller and their ilk a shot at it.
If one of the above 3 were to have challenged W - instead of JF’nK, I would have seriously thought of voting that way.
Kind of like ‘us’ putting up B Dole to run against Clintoon, no way a Lib would vote for him, not because he was Conservative (HA) but because he wasn’t a D and no where near an answer to the ‘problem’.

At least the R hierarchy has absolutely NO PROBLEM in giving the D’s the opportunity to vote R with a candidate that meets a lot of their expectations.

I should have said John F’n, me bad. Old Bob got some bad words about his Blue Max at a couple of FReeps that I was at by Special Ops types, don't know the area, don't know the circumstance, but there was a lot Posts, years ago on the subject.

Well the fact he was an “O”, lost part of his leg,- and, don’t forget - that most of what the SEAL’s did was sort of under wraps etc,.....
Ok...in Feb 69 he was involved in a raid where some civilians were offed and he was ‘accused’ of having a hand in killing a civilian. He got a BZ star for this action (the raid) and later denied the hand in killings. The charges were leveled at him around 2001 from the then most experienced member of his team.
I believe Kerrey was running for the “D” nomination at the time, so the circumstances for the ‘outing’ may have been similar to the Kerry ‘outing’.
The MOH was for action Mar 69 involving scaling a cliff, being wounded and ‘staying in command’....

Lying John Frickin’ Kerry never did release his military record to the public.

All I remember about Kerry’s service is that he met with the communists that the USA was fighting while still in the reserves. Is that false?

Not only did he meet with them, he coordinated his anti-war propaganda efforts with them in order to achieve the greatest political impact for the North Vietnamese. There is only one word to describe it - treason.

I can only remember what I was told, and the experience behind it, other than that refer to the FR threads.

The BS could be issued to a Drunk, Stoned Cook who passed out in a ditch and got a slight ding along with a Heart during a Rocket attack on Cu Chi, leading his Fellow Soldiers to safety, Puke.

I thought so -

So any jack@$$ reporter that tries to use the term “swift-boating” to mean improperly accused or smeared should be reminded of the uncontested fact that Kerry met with a foreign entity with which the US was at war, while a member of the Navy.

Kerry earned the treatment he got from his fellow service members, and then some.

I never saw this obamas video where Michelle says, rather clearly, “all this for a damn flag.”.


Clearly? I have listened to it lots of times and can’t make out any words.

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

Yep. He'll be insane for life - just like Al Gore (who really went berserk!)

Kerry may have been swiftboated, but yu can call the truth whatever name you want, even “Swiftboated.”

Obama should be swiftboated, but the problem is that he has been ‘Slowboated.” Swift would be much better.

You need to leave out the ‘blueblood’. Kerry is no blueblood, but he’s damn sure is a narcissist.

As I recall, the boo boos were reported as “self-inflicted.”

Further, as recalled, the service for which he was decorated was, appearently, self-nominated or, at least, self-authored.

“He is an opportunist, a liar, and a coward.”

So exactly how is he different from Obama?;)
