That’s hilarious. What’s even better is that everything the reporter said was 1)true and 2)called for.

Telling that this clip starts where it does. Most Kerry kneejerkers leave out his preceding sentences which were:
I would like to talk, representing all those veterans, and say that several months ago in Detroit, we had an investigation at which over 150 honorably discharged and many very highly decorated veterans testified to war crimes committed in Southeast Asia, not isolated incidents but crimes committed on a day-to-day basis with the full awareness of officers at all levels of command.
It is impossible to describe to you exactly what did happen in Detroit, the emotions in the room, the feelings of the men who were reliving their experiences in Vietnam, but they did. They relived the absolute horror of what this country, in a sense, made them do.
He was repeating what was told to him by the men who actually did those things.
Not exactly! None of the “confessed” acts has been proven to have happened, and a number of those “soldiers” were later shown to have never been in the military at all… never mind in Vietnam.
Defending the actions of John Kerry, particularly those which took place after his abortive 3 month “tour of duty” in Vietnam, can prove to be quite the quagmire. Certainly its no less daunting a task than defending his record of accomplishment in the US Senate over the past 25 years. Or his imaginative war stories.
Be very careful, Bob. I don’t think this is a horse you want to try riding.

Nice spin Bob. He was repeating lies and therefore while he wasn’t technically guilty of perjury I consider him as guilty as the original liars.
The Whistler - 07:03am on 03/13/2008
WOOF,
Please explain what William Calley had to do with Kerry’s make-believe “Winter Soldier” circus. I must have missed the part where Calley “testified”.
The fact that Calley did in fact slaughter civilians, and was punished for doing so, in no way provides credibility to Kerry’s self-serving and imaginative “war crimes” tribunal. If any of Kerry’s penitents was shown to have been telling the truth, who was it, please, and where is the record of him being convicted?
Please don’t insult my intelligence with this sort of specious, disjointed drivel. Get another cup of coffee.

WOOF,
Cally was tried before a court martial and convicted.
Can you say the same about the perpetrators of the Hue Massacre?

Or Pol Pot’s murder of two million? Or Stalin’s murder of over one hundred million? Or are we only looking at ourselves devoid of background of history?
Yes, some people commit individual UCMJ violations. That is why it was written.
The difference is that our military enforces it. Take a read of Flyboys, the book.

Or how about John Kerry’s lie that he spent Christmas in Cambodia. “ordered by Nixon” who was not even in power then. Fabrication.

Kerry was not accusing anyone of anything. He was repeating what was told to him by the men who actually did those things.
That’s hilarious. What’s even better is that everything the reporter said was 1)true and 2)called for.

Repeating a slander is still a slander.
