It's All About Character, Stupid! Written by the White Knight Wednesday, October 20, 2004
It is disingenuous for the media to characterize Kerry simply as an “Antiwar Protestor.” What Kerry did went far beyond protesting against the war -- Kerry supported the goals of the North Vietnamese. And, they honor him in their museums for his support to this day.
George Mc Govern was a patriotic American against the war – but McGovern didn’t go to Paris 3 times and meet privately with high-ranking North Vietnamese leaders like Madame Binh. McGovern did not join Vietnam Veterans Against the War, a group that displayed the North Vietnamese flag on the steps of the U.S. Capitol, a group whose founder Jane Fonda consorted with our enemies in Hanoi, posed glamorously on an anti-aircraft gun, while Americans were held prisoner and tortured nearby. McGovern did not slander the honor of the vast majority of 2.5 million Vietnam veterans who served bravely and selflessly – but, John Kerry did. Jane Fonda has apologized, but not John Kerry. Protesting American involvement in the war does not extend logically to support FOR the North Vietnamese.
FBI documents reveal VVAW plotted the overthrow of the U.S. government by assassinating sitting Senators. The VVAW were not simply antiwar protestors, they were traitors. Let’s call a spade a shovel; by today’s standards the VVAW would be categorized as terrorists, by extension of his membership and support for VVAW, John Kerry was a terrorist. He has voted against needed weapons systems and support for our military forces. Kerry has consoled communist leader Daniel Ortega in Managua. Kerry has said US forces should not be deployed in defense of America without UN approval. John Kerry proposed Intel budget cuts so severe, not even liberals like Kennedy and Inouye would support him. Read Kerry’s book The New Soldier. John Kerry does not advocate for the kind of America I want to live in. Just whose side is John Kerry on?
Instead of the image of a modern day naval hero, John Kerry reminds us more of Commander Tom Farrell, the deep-cover Soviet mole portrayed by Kevin Costner in the movie No Way Out.
It is neither a smear tactic nor character assassination to examine John Kerry’s record. Because it is in their Code of Ethics, we expect boy scouts to be Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful, Friendly, Courteous, Kind, Obedient, Cheerful, Thrifty, Brave, Clean, and Reverent -- should we expect any less from John Kerry ?? John Kerry wouldn’t even make a good boy scout, much less a president. At the bottom line, It’s About Character, Stupid. Character counts.
The liberal media didn’t care one whit about military service when they supported Bill Clinton – who never served at all and wrote he “loathed” the military.
The liberal media never cared one whit about family influence when Al Gore Sr. secured a Tennessee Army National Guard position for his self-admitted dope-smoking son, who then served a couple of months in Vietnam as a reporter accompanied by a personal security detail before he was discharged early, ultimately to serve as Vice President and who of late has accused the President of having “betrayed America.”
The liberal media never cared one whit about Ted Kennedy’s less than stellar performance as an enlisted Army MP, or his early discharge from the service under specious circumstances probably influenced by his father.
In finely nuanced articles just short of an outright endorsement, the Communist Party of the USA supports John Kerry for President. Even though she was physically dragged out of the DNC convention for her virulent style of protest, Medea (Susan) Benjamin, founder of GlobalExchange, a communist author who lived in Havana for years sucking up to Fidel Castro as a compliant “journalist,” works hard today under the cover of A.N.S.W.E.R. and CodePink for a Kerry presidency. Joe Bangert, one of Kerry’s veterans’ affairs advisors and Band of Brothers, lived in Hanoi for five years.
And the liberal media believes some damnable lie based on a hyped-up counterfeit document alleging Bush was AWOL from the guard is more important than Kerry and his ultra-liberal anti-American background that verges on outright communistic terrorism ??

I agree. JFKerry got away with murder, treason, and other things that others have stood trial for. He got his "pardon", so to speak, during the Carter administration. Wasn't that a lucky deal!
People might be willing to forgive, should he go to the public and apologize, but to act like he didn't do anything wrong is the height of arrogance and despisement towards his fellow countryman. It's all about Kerry. It will always be about Kerry. And he's made such a BIG deal about Bush not admitting to doing anything wrong!!!
"Protesting American involvement in the war does not extend logically to support FOR the North Vietnamese."
I'm wit dat!
Posting it here is good. But I wish it got to the RIGHT people. This man shouldn't be serving in the Senate never mind the White House, he doesn't qualify for either. Indeed a vote for Kerry is a vote to end Democracy and enter into communism, and that is not paranoia, its fact. Even scarier is there is an unfathomable amount of money backing this whole move.
