  • But what if what he was saying is true? Do we just stick our fingers in our hears and hum because we dont want to hear it?

  • (Taft quote continued) "...If that comfort makes the enemy feel better for a few moments, they are welcome to it as far as I am concerned, because the maintenance of the right of criticism in the long run will do the country maintaining it a great deal more good than it will do the enemy, and will prevent mistakes which might otherwise occur." -- December 19 1941.

  • This is what the great Republican Senator Robert Taft said about criticizing our country in a time of war: "As a matter of general principle, I believe there can be no doubt that criticism in time of war is essential to the maintenance of any kind of democratic government ... too many people desire to suppress criticism simply because they think that it will give some comfort to the enemy to know that there is such criticism....(continued next post)

  • The SBVT was a political campaign that lied to vets about John Kerry and made them angry enough to tell lies for their agenda, which won the election for Bush The Swift Boat Veterans for Truth said that they were coached and made up stories. None of them had ever heard or met John Kerry until after the war. Remember that America wasn't given the truth and had only one other option, Bush. One of the most fascist lying smear campaigns in American history.

  • PRO-COMMUNIST SENATOR "HANOI" JOHN KERRY SUPPORTS BRUTAL COMMUNIST VIETNAM BY KILLING VIETNAM HUMAN RIGHTS ACT IN THE SENATE.

    He values dirty money and economic ties with communist Vietnam much more important than democracy and human rights values. Consequently, Vietnam has waged a new crackdown on democracy activists like Father Nguyen van Ly and lawyers Nguyen van Dai and Le thi Cong Nhan, who were given unfair, harsh sentences of several years in prison for their democracy activities.

  • I say we wire up a high amp radio to Kerry's nutsack, turn it up to ten, and lock the door behind us. That would be a great day for America. Oh Yeah!

  • John Kerry is a Good Man, he is trying to get me a 2nd chance to go back into the Marine Corps

  • LOL all the jelous people who weren't there, Kerry served. So STFU.

  • Served and then sold out his own battle buddies. You don't do that.

  • does anyone notice kerry speaks with an aristocratic accent here?

  • He is trying to be a Kennedy.

  • How do ask a liberal to make any sense?

  • How do sentences without subjects make any sense? Oh yeah they don't.

  • Lyndon B Johnson was a traitor to his country for lying us into a war that killed tens of thousands of Americans

  • Kerry never saw these things happen. He was told to say this by an anti-war group, later revealed to have no evidence any of this happened. Small random atrocities may have happened here and there, but that's war. John Kerry is a traitor and the people of Massachusetts elect this traitor term after term. Traitors love traitors.

  • What about the My Lai massacre? 357-504 were killed!

  • You are totally right. If only people saw this and would just learn that 9/11 was just war, nothing more, nothing less.

    In fact all those people jumping out of buildings, lol, those numbers are just casualties. I'm glad I have someone to remind me that violence is ok, so long as some declares they're doing it first. Hey it's war right?

  • 911 was an inside job. Get ready for the greatest depression, it's coming. Stock market will get to around 10k, maybe a little higher, then bam - the banker-elites will crash it. Better stock up on supplies and get off the grid while you can.

  • QUESTION: Can you name the wars in history that were justified and appropriate to have fought? The First World War? The Korean War? The Spanish-American War? The Mexican War?

    Thank you.

  • QUESTION: Can you think of ANY scenario in which you would feel honor-bound to criticize the validity of a war and its conduct? Or do you believe that ANY citizen of ANY country should NEVER criticize its wars?

    Or do you feel that it is impossible that the U.S. could enter into a war with the wrong motives and the wrong methods?

    Thank you.

  • I defy anyone to post a video or quote comment from a Republican which in any way defames U.S. troops during this or any war.

    We don't do that. Why can't Democrats say that?

    Why do Dems always bad mouth our troops during war time?

    I am waiting for your posts.

  • Because atrocities are, well, atrocious, and they should be identified as soon as they happen, so they can be stopped. People should not be tortured or killed because we wanted to wait until the end of the war to save face.

    More basically, because it is wrong by any standard, military or civilian, and it needs to be brought to light.

    It's not badmouthing our troops; it's badmouthing those of our troops who are engaged in behavior that America condemns.

  • Kerry couldn't tell the truth if it was sitting in front of him. He is the traitor to this country and especially to other Vietnam Vets. The Swift boats did a great job bringing Kerry's work ethic to light. Only the communists would want a picture of him on there wall.

  • You understand that the swift boat vets were paid by Republican PAC's right? I also think it's entirely appropriate to call John Kerry a traiter, despite numerous purple hearts and actually fighting in the jungle, and excuse Bush, who was discharged after failing to meet his 6-year military requirements. Keep in mind, that was while he was in the NATIONAL GUARD, which was never deployed in Vietnam, effectively making a way to avoid Vietnam. Bush avoided Vietnam like a true coward.

  • I believe you mean Air Guard. He was in the Air Force, not the Army. And while Kerry actually went to war, did his time, blah blah blah, he also sold out his battle buddies. He pretty much helped turn the country against veterans, which is why veterans call him a traitor. Personally, I think they both suck.

  • kerry couldnt wait for sen john heinz to be buried so he could move in on heinzes widow for her money what a parasitic pantload liar great job swift boaters for cleaning kerrys clock

    John McCain President 2008

    oh and dont forget kerrys vp edwards you know the break girl who cheats on his cancer stricken wife would love to have seen edwards face when the enquirer nabbed his ass in the restroom at the beverly hilton parasitic lying pantloads thats what kerry and edwards are

  • Thank you for your voice Sen. Kerry. You are in fact the one Senator who has worked the hardest for Vietnam Vets. I apologize for the ignorance of some, who were not there, who did not see and do not know what they are talking about, or twist the truth to fit their needs. Thank you for your service.

  • I sat right behind John Kerry when he addressed the Senate Armed Services Committee and the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on that day in April 1971, and I'm proud I did. Vietnam Veterans Against the War is not the communist organization that you super right wingers paint it to be. It's Americans who fought in an immoral, illegal war who are trying to stop further violence in this country's misguided wars for commerce. The victims of these wars are seldom our enemies.

  • These are two seperate audio clips put together. In the first one - it is made to seem as if Kerry was talking about American troops comitting atrocities, BUT he we actually talking about the atrocitties comitted by the Viet Cong. NICE TRY REPUBLICAN LIARS!

  • He's not talking about the Viet Cong, he's talking about Americans. I know it's hard to believe an American would condemn his fellow troops in this manner - it's one of the most cowardly and venal acts in American history, but Kerry did it. I'm not sure where you heard otherwise, but you might want to recheck and reevaluate that source, and reconsider the conclusions you've drawn based on that information.

  • But some American troops -did- do those things. Some American officers did order those things. There were massacres and human rights abuses carried out under the American flag. That is a disgrace to this nation and should be condemned.

    Kerry was condemning those of his fellow soldiers who did such horrible, inhuman things. And well he should. He was not condemning those who did not do such things. I am baffled that this distinction is not immediately clear.

  • @MilBlogs The clip is right wing propaganda. The actual clip says "They told me stories that they personally cut off..." A group of anti war vets did tell him these things and the military released documents supporting the atrocities Kerry mentioned. None of the hundreds of Swift Boat Veterans for Truth ever served directly with John Kerry except one who now apologizes for what he said.

  • @kerouacpoops and you're a lying sack of shit ... Hanoi Kerry ran home from Nam after only 4 months and told these lies about the TROOPS .. you know, just like Jack Murtha did over the incident in Haiditha

  • Take a trip to HCMC ( Saigon ) and visit the war remnants museum , there you will see John Kerry's picture hanging on the wall in a room that is dedicated to " heroes of the communist cause "

  • how is A True American hero a traitor? are you retarted? seriously it is just plain STUPID to think Kerry is a traitor or "not a real vet". just plain idiocy and succumbing to cold, dirty lying by the corrupted GOP. dispicable. absolutely dispicable.

  • why the 11 ribbons he is wearing. And the PUC. He only spent at the least 7 months there.

    Oh well, perhaps he will be in Wash. someday

    and help lead the country by example. Oh yes

    we need more traitors like him leading.

  • Ridiculed by a company supporting Bush, for telling the truth?

  • John Kerry is an American hero.

  • Yes he is,when was the last time a politically connected rich man's son, ENLISTED beacause that was what his country asked? Oh Right, Bush would certainly not know and CHENEY deferred 7 times, now both of them get boners whenever they're around military hardware (ha ha). KERRY just makes them feel iandequate and uncomfortable, oh yes, he is also TALL and smarter than either of them.

  • Too bad NVA or VC didn't get Kerry. ;/

  • did we kill kids..sure...burn villages...sure....wipe out families..sure...would i do it...in a heartbeat..especially if they are shooting at me, killing americans and our allies...and trying to hurt america in any way or form....talk to a real vet...they'll tell you the truth

  • How do you ask a man to be the last man to die for a mistake... You can put out a bunch of bullshit smear ads & lies but those words are going to live on and the anti-war movement grows stronger with every war, fuck the right wing.

  • Fuck you, and your Commie friends on the left.

  • You're the fucking commies, you wanna spy on US citizens, you wanna make flag burning a crime, you call anyone who disagrees with you a commie --that shit's not going to work anymore what with the Cold War being over. Now you'll have to call us terrorists-oh wait you already do. The right can't debate for shit so all they ever do is call you a traitor-when THEY'RE the ones who gave out a CIA agents identity (treason) & They're the ones that did Business with the Nazis during WW2 (Bush's Grandpa)

  • Traitors are the ones who suck up disinformation...spoon-fed to them by drug addicted meglio-maniacs with an agenda and who have NEVER SERVED themselves but try to vicariously lend some creedence to their miserable doughty lives by attempting to destroy others...

    John Kerry will remember those types....and so will we!

  • The sad thing is no one bothered to question Kerry's testimony (lie, after lie). Many of the vets that testified with him had not even been to Vietnam, one did not make it through basic training!!! Oi..

  • wittumy, None of the statements made in this video by John Kerry were lies. Are you asking what lies were being told to the American people about Vietnam? Silly question, IMO. Do your own homework.

  • By saying the horrible (true) things he did, in testimony under oath at a Congressional hearing, John Kerry got more home faster.

    That was what the hearing was about: Were The People being told the truth about what was happening in Vietnam? As everyone knows now, The People were being deliberately lied to. John Kerry was defending The People's right to know the (unclassified) truth. It is always about the facts, which have no opinions, they just are.

  • What part were the lies?

  • John Kerry is HOT

  • When John Kerry was in Vietnam GW Bush was AWOL from the National Guard.

  • Bush never went AWOL. He requested to go to Nam but was turned down because of his daddy. If anyone is to blame for that it's Bush Sr. NOT G Dubya.

  • Bush's military records were mysteriously lost right before he ran for the Governor of Texas, apparently along with those who served with him.

    If Bush wants to hide behind his daddy, so be it. I find it cowardly of him.

  • hes a fucking commie, bring back the wall so we can throw this fuck over it.

  • Are you saying these things didn't happen?

  • war is hell.......

  • am saying that shouldnt be said when you still have pow over there.

  • So truth has no place? How do you think our pow's are treated when we as a nation deny that sometimes we do bad things instead of admitting them when we do? Of course war is hell, lying or sweeping things under the rug is not the American way. Admitting mistakes is something we teach our children at an early age.

  • when he made those statements,the war was not over....by sayin what he did he turn he's back on his brothers and country.

  • Of course dave you see nothing wrong with lying. Lying never is a benefit for your brothers or country - never.

  • for a very long time, maybe 10-15 years after we pulled out of Vietnam, reports of living POWs kept being reported, a couple were true. Should we have kept silent about our bad actions in Vietnam until they were all fully investigated. Come on, now.

  • John Kery is a traitor. I agree that he is a spoiled rich slob. Just listen to his speach. Thank God he is not our president.

  • Kerry=the botoxified Bohemian from Boston. He's such an effete slob.

  • John Forbes Kerry... a big ugly traitor jerk!

  • Its WAR that's what happens, you kill the enemy and destroy his will to fight, kill everything, what did it take to defeat Hitler....total destruction of their will and capacity to wage war, if the politicians would have stayed out of the Vietnam war it would have only lasted 2 years and Ho's head would have been on a stick on Johnson's desk

  • Are you an idiot or just ignorant of history? SOUTH Vietname was OUR ally. Most of the war was fought in the SOUTH. We killed SOUTH Vietnamese civilians. We burned SOUTH Vietnamese villages. We are now repeating the same errors in Iraq. We are killing, abusing and torturing hundreds and thousands of INNOCENT Iraqis in another ILLEGAL war fought on the basis of LIES and fabricated intelligence. Kerry's testimony was based on true stories. I suppose you think MeLai didn't happen either!

  • There should have a thousand MeLai's...It's war kill the bad guy and anyone who is helping him, do you know what the north would do to the peasants that would not supply them with food and shelter? I think you should do some brushing up on your history. the north killed more south viets then we did by a long shot

  • Its so refreshing to finally see that there is some people in America living in reality. Well said. Now comes the hard part,to make these Liberal morons stop living in denial.

  • the chin is a traitor, he and teddy should just kiss and get it over with

  • JOHN KERRY LIED

  • Where is the full video of Kerry's testimony? I can't find it anywhere on YouTube.

  • Bless his heart, why isn't he our president? He's so calm here though. I like it more when he's got peeved about something.

  • Because he's a bonesmen, an elitist, a rich snob.

    An Amoral opprotunist. Him and Bush share the same bloodline.

    Learn your history.

  • Lovely, though the patrician voice annoys me.

  • Missed the whole point because of a funny word did you einstein??interbreath??
