I have a question regarding this anti-Kerry smear film that

Sleazy Sinclair is showing - What are they going to try to say, that the whole mess of Vietnam is blamed on Kerry? Kerry had more power back then I guess if he alone prolonged the war. What exactly is their conclusing regarding Kerry?

1. That his anti-war activities made life worse for our POWs and that it was

basically unpatriotic or treasonous to speak truth to power...

5. probably more of those Swift Boat lies

I mean..what did that Hyman guy say on CNN? That this is news-worthy material and Sinclair just wants to report the news?

These repugs just sicken me. They're the unpatriotic and treasonous ones. To even think that some people are happy about car bombings in Iraq.

2. I was going to make a movie bashing bush (ie telling the truth)

But realized it would take a mini-series over a year in length running each night for 2 hours. I just don't have the time....

3. i hear that there are POWs swearing they were beaten and harrassed

to "admit" war crimes ala Winter Soldier

but an article in NewsDay today has a POW calling it untrue

4. Kerry did the right thing

He served, he saw, he came back, he told the truth. Kerry served, bush swerved.

6. Kerry is starting to rival the Clenis

Kerry single handedly prevented the US from winning the VietNam War!

Kerry was able to be hit by shrapnel on not bleed! (Dole)

Kerry single handedly destroy US Defense preparedness between 1984 and 2004 even though a Republican was President for 12 of those years and for half that time Republicans controlled congress!

7. There has always been a fringe group that believes

we could have "won" in Vietnam had we fought harder and there had been no protest. They view Kerry's rational stand in VVATW as an "act of treason". Mind you, these are the same bunch of knuckleheads who still fly the "POW/MIA" flags, and believe that there are still POWs being held there. The fact is, that if people like Kerry didn't speak out when he did, we would probably still be fighting in Vietnam today.

The rewrite of the history of the Vietnam war was inevitable with the nomination of Kerry. chimp allowed that bunch of fools a new voice.

8. I don't have a link to the article I was reading, but...

they said Nixon & the GOP have hated John for many years & they tried desperately to discredit him back in the day. They were unable to find *ANYTHING* on him back then. So, if these people didn't have knowledge of any of this activity at the time, why would they suddenly recover these repressed memories of a "scandal" just in time for this election? Has the GOP gone into the RMT {repressed memory therapy} business?
