Senate Hit Plot...?

Check this out...Hope this isn't a dupe...of course it is on NewsMax and FreeRepublic...more right wing hate propaganda or what...?

What did Sen. John Kerry know and when did he know it about a plot to assassinate pro-Vietnam War U.S. senators hatched at a November 1971 Kansas City meeting of the group Vietnam Veterans Against America?

According to presidential biographer Douglas Brinkley, that's the question Sen. Kerry needs to answer. If it turns out that the likely Democratic presidential nominee knew of the treasonous plan, Brinkley says he had an obligation to go to the authorities.

1. eerie silence........

makes me nervous.

If the media could take Dean down with an arrrrrrgh!.....this is worrisome.

Somebody tell me that this is total B.S.

this is like having a debate over whether or not someone is a child molester......just the discussion is enough to hurt a reputation.

4. I read that Newsmax article

It is written as if it is beyond dispute that there was a vote taken at the KC vet meeting to assisinate Senators. Of course the proposal went down in flames...however, Kerry says he wasn't there. Two others say he was and voted to defeat the idea...

It also says that the guy who came up with the hit plot is now working for Kerry....I find this all very, very hard to believe...assasinating Senators?

5. This is more RW Bullshit masqueraded as 'news"

And I find it hard to believe that anyone on DU would seriously consider this as having any basis in "fact".

8. that's what I thought...

you see...there are these right wingers on this other site...and they go out and google for any dirt they can dig up on Kerry...they quote shit from Free Republic...which I know is a bunch of garbage to begin with...and then there's newsmax...but I have been at work all day and I am still at work and I wasn't sure if the media has picked up on this or what has been said about it...

So thanks for at least giving an opinion...I think it's bullshit to but I had to hear if from someone else first...
