Half the audience who showed up last week to see John Edwards' first South Carolina appearance since he won his home state's primary in February walked out before he arrived - two hours late. And in another sign of trouble in paradise, the state's Democratic Senate candidate - whose campaign the Edwards visit was supposed to boost - declined to be seen on the same stage with him. Democrat U.S. Senate hopeful Inez Tenenbaum "has gone to great lengths to distance herself from the national party," reports the South Carolina newspaper, The State. Edwards "is about as close as she’s...

Brit Hume just covered Kerry's quote in Outdoor Life magazine about owning a communist rifle to remind him of his M-16 that saved his life in Vietnam. Brit says that it turns out that the magazine never interviewed Kerry. Instead, they sent out a questionnaire. The Kerry campaign now says that Kerry did not answer the questions, but a campaign staffer answered for him. The staffer is to blame.

Bush Vs. Kerry By The Editors An exclusive interview with the two presidential candidates on gun rights, conservation and other issues that affect your hunting and fishing. September 2004 OL: Do you support a renewal of the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban, a bill that outlawed certain models of semi-automatic firearms? Why or why not? Bush: The best way to reduce gun crime is to vigorously enforce existing gun laws, so that guns are kept out of the hands of criminals but are not denied to responsible and law-abiding citizens. I support reauthorization of the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban, but I...

Contra Campaign An Iran-Contra conspirator joins the Swift Boat crowd. It was bound to happen.  BY BOB NORMANbob.norman@newtimesbpb.com Felix tells the vets in D.C. that Kerry is a liar.     The life of Felix I. Rodriguez provides a tour through the dark heart of America. From the Bay of Pigs fiasco to Vietnam to the El Salvador death squads to the Iran-Contra scandal, the Cuban exile and self-described "CIA hero" was there. His most famous assassination mission came in 1967, when he led the Bolivian army group that captured and summarily executed leftist revolutionary Ernesto "Che" Guevara. He's...

Kerry Lied... While Good Men Died.

Last week was the KerryLied Rally in Washington, D.C. that many Vietnam veterans had been waiting months for. It was a good rally, Free Republic was well represented, especially with Tax Relief constantly sitrepping Huber, who was keeping the world updated through Free Republic. The weather was great, and everybody went home feeling good about coming together to repudiate the lies, treachery, deceit and traitorous behavior of John Forbes Kerry in 1970, 1971, and 1972. For some of us it was only the start. Mentor, Ohio is a bedroom suburb of Cleveland, snuggled up under Lake Erie 25 miles to...

Sunday, Sept. 12, was a perfect day for a trip to Washington, D.C. The sort of day where rallies are perfect - no rain clouds in sight. A nice day to head to D.C. for the "Kerry Lied ... While Good Men Died" protest against John Kerry. After the two-hour ride on I-81 north and I-66 east toward Northern Virginia, we found it beneficial to do the park and ride with the Metro at the Vienna/Nutley Street station and take the orange line directly into D.C. When we arrived at the station, we could tell right away that most of...

I had just left the Capitol South station on the Metro and was wearing my USS Hunley unit cap, when this guy asked me where I was going. He was about my age and looked fit except for a scar on his face where, I found out later, he had lost his left cheek bone back in ‘Nam. I answered I was looking for the Capitol South American Legion Hall and he said he was going there to and he’d walk along with me. I’m Dexter Lehtinen and I’ll be speaking a little at the rally. Dexter’s story is riveting...

<p>I called C-SPAN today to ask if they were going to be posting the Kerry Lied Rally on the web at [url]www.c-span.org[/url] since they were posting the KLASS stuff from earlier Sunday. I indicated to them that not posting the rally failed to present a balanced perspective.</p>

Thousands of Vietnam veterans and their families and friends applauded, yelled support and waved signs and flags for more than two hours yesterday at an anti-John Kerry rally outside the U.S. Capitol. "John Kerry is not fit to tie the shoes of the heroes we have here at this rally," said John O'Neill of Houston, a member of the Swift Boat crews who have disclaimed the Democratic presidential candidate's statements about his military service. "Leave John Kerry to command the largest vessel he's ever competently handled — his surfboard," said another speaker, B.G. Burkett, 60, another veteran and author of...

For anyone who missed this today, it's coming on shortly. I caught the last hour and it was terrific. John O'Neill speaks, among many others.

Vietnam Vets Rally Against Kerry in D.C. 1 hour, 7 minutes ago WASHINGTON - Chanting "Kerry lied," hundreds of Vietnam veterans on Sunday rallied against fellow veteran and Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry (news - web sites). AP Photo Comrades died because of people like Kerry and Jane Fonda, asserted Larry Bailey, a U.S. Navy (news - web sites) veteran and president of Vietnam Vets for the Truth.

Washington (AP) - With the U.S. Capitol as a backdrop, hundreds of Vietnam veterans rallied Sunday against fellow veteran and Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry. The event was sponsored by Vietnam Veterans for the Truth. The group's president, Larry Bailey, accused Kerry of lying three decades ago when he returned from Vietnam and gave testimony before the U.S. Senate alleging widespread atrocities by American troops. Bailey's speech was briefly interrupted when a shouting match broke out between a lone Kerry supporter - another Vietnam vet, in a wheelchair - and several of the anti-Kerry vets. Before the rally, Kerry supporters...

Hey all. I hope I'm posting this in the correct place. I was watching the "Kerry Lied, Good Men Died" rally on C-SPAN earlier. And I heard them talking about a picture of John F'n that is put up in some museum in Veitnam, saying that he is a great man to the cause of the NVA/VC. (the enemy) Does anyone have more info on this, or preferrably a picture or the text of what it says? Also I heard them say that the recordings of what he said at that time (the war crimes accustations and all)was shown to...

O'Neill just started speaking at 2:58pm CDT.
