If its mid-September, and the Left is not ahead, something must seriously be awry. Perhaps, the Manchurian Spouse, that's Heinz Kerry to the outsourced, was right when she recently said "only an idiot" would fail to support her husband's health care plan." What I don't understand is why she stopped there. After all, her husband has been campaigning for over a year and he's behind. Surely not supporting him would make us worse than that. The truth is, the Left has not stopped at labeling non-believers idiots and they are in a near panic. Looking for solid evidence of that?...

Today's rally in Washington by Vietnam veterans who think that "Kerry lied . . . while good men died" is far from the worst his presidential campaign will see from those who feel betrayed by his assertion that atrocities were condoned and commonplace. Far more devastating is the testimony of former prisoners of war, such as Medal of Honor recipient Leo K. Thorsness of Walnut Grove, Minn., who was held for five years and 19 days and who explains why John Kerry's actions of 30 years ago are relevant now. Thorsness is among a group who were captives in North...

WASHINGTON - (KRT) - Dexter Lehtinen, well-known Miami lawyer and former U.S. attorney, has become one of the most prominent Vietnam veterans in a vociferous campaign against Sen. John Kerry. Lehtinen, who plans to speak at an anti-Kerry rally here Sunday, separates himself from a group of swift boat veterans who attacked the Democratic nominee's war record. "What happened in combat is disputed," Lehtinen said. "What John Kerry said and did later is beyond dispute - that our Army was reminiscent of Genghis Khan's, that officers like me routinely let their men plunder villages and rape villagers." Lehtinen, an Army...

The Fabulous Cindy, Beautiful Barbara and I are catching a US Air flight this afternoon to attend the rally on Sept 12. I hope to meet some of you guys there. I'll report here about the experience on Sept. 14. WE'LL TELL AMERICA WHY US VIETNAM VETS HATE KERRY.

For all of those going to the Swiftboat rally in DC, lets start exchanging information and setting up meeting places for Freepers at the rally. Make sure and keep phone numbers and personal information in the Freep mail channels, people are watching.

A check of C-SPAN's schedule for this Sunday shows that they have committed to broadcasting live the Vietnam Vets for Truth rally called Kerry Lied....While Good Men Died.The rally, taking place in Washington, D.C., is scheduled to run from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. EDT. C-SPAN details here.Many of you here remember how 6 years ago C-SPAN's broadcast of Free Republic's rally calling for Clinton's impeachment helped spur on that eventuality. Here's hoping that these veterans, who are trying to reclaim their good names and honor from John Kerry, will be similarly successful in their endeavor.

WASHINGTON - When Vietnam veterans rally on Capitol Hill against Sen. John Kerry's antiwar activities this weekend, John Tabarrini of Moreno Valley will be among them. "He testified that we were all basically war criminals," said Tabarrini, who served in the air wing of the U.S. Marine Corps in Vietnam from 1972 to 1973. "And I have a problem with that." Kerry testified before a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing after returning home from Vietnam. He told the panel that U.S. soldiers had been involved in a series of atrocities during the war, including rape and the random killing of...

Welcome! My name is Larry Bailey, and I am a retired Navy SEAL Captain. I was in Vietnam in 1967 and participated in the Dominican Republic invasion in 1965. I also commanded the SEAL school in Coronado, CA. I am the President of an organization named Vietnam Vets for the Truth, LLC. Please note the similarity in names with a group much in the news, Swift Boat Veterans for Truth; I wish to emphasize that we are completely different and separate groups that were organized independent of one another. We do, however, support them completely. We are an incorporated 527...

Wednesday, September 8, 2004 ELECTION 2004Anti-Kerry vets get ready to rallySunday event in D.C. to rebut Vietnam-atrocities claim Posted: September 8, 20041:00 a.m. Eastern © 2004 WorldNetDaily.com A Vietnam veterans' organization is gearing up for a rally at the U.S. Capitol Sunday entitled "Kerry Lied While Good Men Died." Vietnam Vets for the Truth bills the event as a gathering of veterans who "served honorably" in Southeast Asia.

Vietnam Veterans for Truth held a press conference this morning at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. to discuss their upcoming anti-Kerry rally.I arrived about 9:45 a.m. for the 9:30 start. The back of the room was filled with TV news video cameras, while several still photographers prowled the front of the room. A handful of reporters with notebooks sat in the press rows in the center. On the left as I entered were about a dozen men associated with VVT, on the right side of the room were a few representatives of Veterans for Kerry.I took a seat...

The D.C. Chapter of FreeRepublic.com extends a warm welcome to all attending the Kerry Lied rally in D.C. this weekend.Previous to this announcement, we have made no offical plans except for attending the rally and the Saturday night reception. However, with so many FReepers travelling to D.C. from across the country, we would be remiss in not hosting a FReeper gathering or two.Therefore, we have two suggestions for activities. One is a gathering at the Russian embassy at 2650 Wisconsin Avenue, NW on Saturday, September 11, from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m., to mark the third anniversary of the September...

LOCAL ANTI KERRY VETS PLAN TRIP TO WASHINGTON, D.C. By David Burch Marietta Daily Journal Staff Writer MARIETTA - The daughter of a Marine who died during the Vietnam War, Laura Armstrong says she witnessed first hand the backlash against soldiers returning to the United States 30 years ago after fighting in the divisive war. With the country now involved in another unpopular war in Iraq, she said she worries that today's soldiers could face the same fate from the American people when they return home - a backlash Ms. Armstrong said would be made worse if Massachusetts U.S. Sen....
