Swift Vets ad of Kerry renouncing his medals

[ChadronMike]

i forgot how littler understanding republicans have of Vietnam

[BINOMIALBOB1]

Thanks to george bush and his daughters for their outstanding military service!!How could a draft dodger get elected president twice ? Shows us what the American public really think of the military.Rich mans war, poor mans fight! At least george didn't end up as burger meat.

[clfhcks]

"...turned their backs on their brothers..." Bullshit. All you pro-war vets who keep lying to yourselves about your "honorable service" have turned your backs on the rest of us, and on humanity itself. Fuck yall.

[loner1878]

Fucking hick conservatives.

[zenmachinefilms]

One of the most effective smear campaigns ever along with Willy Horton.

But Kerry was almost at fault here for not immediately and loudly calling them out and challenging them to show evidence to their claims and put up or shut up.

[leonarddaccardi]

i'd vote for the pimples on my ass before i'd vote for this effite snob.

[Manatizzle89]

....So apparently a medal is what makes a solider a hero??? Not his bravery, not his sacrifice, not his leadership...but a piece of metal??? A medal is recognition, it is a great thing to have but revoking one does not make a solider ANY LESS a servant to his country.

[rcdESPANYOL4ever]

John Kerry earned those medals serving his country, its his right to excericse his right as an American to free speech. Dissent is the greatest form of patriotism, not blind faith and conformity.

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.

[DocMcCrae]

The truth sunk Kerry's boat..

Kerry should have been hung as a traitor for the lies he told against Vietnam Vets..

[sbarudzija]

campaign propaganda. that is lobbying haha

[yuiyuizz]

Yea like any one would trust bush again give me a break. These commercial are from bitter old vets who cant handle the true that the war was wrong

[redhexagon]

Kerry fought in Vietnam, along with enlisted Americans, against enlisted Vietnamese. Bush was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and was an AWOL draft dodger. Bush never won any medals because he was nowhere near Vietnam, his powerful Daddy was protecting him from that.

[DocMcCrae]

@redhexagon

This isn't about Bush. It is about the lies Kerry told about his war experiences. He was only in Vietnam 3 months. Kerry put himself in for medals and Purple Hearts that he didn't earn.

Read the book written by his fellow sailors, "Unfit for Command"

[DocMcCrae]

Kerry is a traitor and should have been hung for his lies against other vetrans.

[slimtechn]

What lies?  Americans did some despicable and deplorable things during Vietnam. Wake up!

[eljamo17]

his country the USA f**ked up! He is simply preserving his honor and trust by acknowledging what everyone knows! He DID NOT turn his back on any thing but criminal human rights abusers.

[mstrider80]

absolutely hilarious. man were they desperate to attack in any way they could.

[peteykkk]

A darkie can't run a shoe shine stand, he's gonna run the USA? check out every country in Africa, then every city in the US, then Harlem and Compton. You Tell me!

Then he's got Barney and Dodd, who caused everything, Running the show!

Listen to Rev. Manning and learn! Kerry is dogshit!

[padude64]

republicans asses I wanna kick real bad!

[padude64]

swift vets suck dick

[prebenso]

give the poor vets a chance. When Bush finally wants to pay them let them do some work for it

[Mik5469]

he got medals!

[WINDHAMMAN]

kerry the parasite couldnt wait to get his lurch hands on deceased john heinzes wife forb her money after all kerrys in the congress millionaires club and has to keep up appearances what a low life pantload he is an un American left wing unpatriotic asswipe great job swiftboaters for outing kerry the fraud

[cooolandy]

Yeah can't turst Kerry but whoa sure can trust that bush guy nice.

[dirtbagrob]

John McCain came to John Kerry's defense in 2004 after everyone called Kerry a traitor. And Today Kerry calls McCain unfit for the presidency. That's his opinion and he is entitled to it. I'm sure a true Hero like McCain is happy to know that Kerry is still stabbing our veterans in the back

[cooolandy]

How about the veterans Kerry has always voted for while mccain has vote the reverse of what he says on vets.

[AllahisaJew]

He earned those medals. He should be allowed to do anything he wants to do with them.

[7Yosef7]

It's over. John Kerry threw away his medals, lied about his comrades and everyone knows what he is. But it's over and Kerry lost. He'll never be president. Never.

Kerry was a coward in 1970 and he carries that baggage with him today because he refuses to repent of his treason. He may well go to his grave a coward and a traitor.

[glddraco]

Swift Boat Veterans of liars. They should be murdered every last one. Bomb the NRA and kill all the GOP so they don't have a chance to ruin this country again! Fucking cowards.

[lotusblack80]

brother, i do think kerry is a coward and the lowest type of scum...but i want to see JUSTICE!! this bastard is the vice presidential candidate for the democrats under obama...and people are loving it!!! i seriously want to see this coward ruined

[topshooter187]

you right he's such a traitor, he might as well gotten his dad to bail him out of going to war in the first place.... oh wait that was bush...

[conveyorbelts]

one is spoiled one is a liar. which one would you prefer?

[OperationNorthwoods]

Who wants nazi symbols?

[greeklantern]

Who would you rather have serving next to you in war, Kerry or Bush......yeah my point exactly and so any dumbass American who was swayed by this commercial should just not vote in the next election because it's obvious they don't have any fucking clue.

[darko81779]

These Swiftboat guys are nothing but Bush/Republican mouthpieces run by a man who butted heads with Kerry on national TV 35 years ago. Fuck these assholes and fuck George W. Bush. If Kerry betrayed us by giving back his medals, what did that son of a bitch Bush do by sending thousands of men off to die in an unwinnable war that may, in McCain's words, go on in some fashion for 50-100 years?

[sdwrf]

Cant be better put

[sgtegart]

Is McCain any better? I respect his service,but don't trust the politison.

[Weintraubeheld221]

I search this video. veteranen theirs throw orden about kapitol. somebody has video? thank you

[grifster3]

Kerry trashed fellow soldiers who served in Vietnam with anti-war statements that we murdered innocents in cold blood. This was during the time that we still had prisoners of war over there suffering at the hands of the North Vietnamese. Statements like that were used against those prisoners. Read "Chained Eagle" by Edward Alvarez Jr. for confirmation.

[kingss23]

He had first hand experience over there. Well was he lying?

[glddraco]

the truth hurts doesn't it? You'd like to believe that they were serving this country for the better but in reality the people that ran the vietnam war didn't. It's sad that people are still stupid enough to believe that Vietnam was about freedom like they believe this war is about freedom. Than again look at the redneck GOP nothing they believe in anymore has any sustance.

[lotusblack80]

maybe its not for your freedom...you selfish son of a bitch

the freedom i fought for was the liberation of the iraqi people, and guess what?? as much as you would like to deny it..the iraqi people for the most part love us for that...ohhh but i guess you wont hear that kind of stuff on our biased tv networks

[CliqueOblique]

actually you fought in iraq to stop saddam's wmd's. oh wait no you didn't ...

[johnq54]

To all swift boat veterans! You have aligned yourself with this Bush administration! A group of treasonous cowards and traitors who in their countries need of service during Viet Nam were too busy finding ways to worm their way out of going where people were getting shot. George Bush a fortunate son, Dick Cheney several deferments because "HE HAD OTHER THINGS TO DO"! Donald Rumsfeld also received several deferments. I could go on but you get my drift.

[johnq54]

These same people who saw fit to trash the likes of Max Cleland, John McCain and others in order to win an election. Where is your outrage for these wrongs done to true heroes by these cowards? I can recall the only people that were discussed in Vietnam with more disdain than those who ran to Canada were those fortunate sons whose fathers were people of influence and wealth. A popular song of the day was Fortunate Son by Credence Clearwater Revival. Do you really remember Marine?

[johnq54]

You have pledged allegiance to these treasonous cowards. These traitors who would reveal the identity of a CIA Operative in a petty, childish tantrum. Why, because her husband wouldn't play ball. Your memory is quite diluted by your blind hatred of John Kerry. There were many atrocities committed by us in Nam and you know this or you are also a liar. Just like we are learning of atrocities going on in Iraq. I was acquainted with a Marine who brought his ear collection back to the World with him

[johnq54]

I question your motives of supporting cowards and traitors guilty of treasonous acts while trashing a man who at least spent time in country. I say again at least John Kerry went to Viet Nam. I did at one time have respect for all "River Rats" but you swift boaters have lost that respect.

[johnq54]

Apologies for the backwards cut and paste. Start with my bottom post and work up.

[Fish880]

atrocities in Nam. Our prisoners of war were tortured in order to make them claim responsibility for alleged atrocities. John McCain had both his arms broken, and still didn't make a false confession. There were atrocities in Nam alright, and the atrocities in Iraq, are you saying that U.S. troops filled those mass graves. In order to appreciate America, you usually have to be deprived of it...

[johnq54]

"are you saying that U.S. troops filled those mass graves. In order to appreciate America, you usually have to be deprived of it... "

Funny I thought we went into Iraq because he was an imenent threat to us with weapons of mass destruction and his ties to Al Qaeda! But it was actually because they had mass graves.

[johnq54]

Hey there are a lot worse tyrants in this world but none of them have oil. So we make a fake war and all of our cronies get wealthier. You've been punked by Bush and his buddies and you don't even realize it. I'll bet you voted for him twice didn't you?

[glddraco]

so says McCain but I don't trust his lying GOP ass. I think they are all Nazis and the GOP are believers in values that aren't important anymore. They continue to hold onto things that are over, like the vietnam war. Who gives a fuck about what happened over 30 years ago. What does this say about the man today? Not a fucking thing. McCain may have done the supposed things you claim but I think McCain has changed and for the worse.

[Fish880]

We shouldn't look at the past eh? Without the past we would have no present. Who cares if the GOP still cares about what happened 30 years ago. The Dems still have a 150 year old festering guilt from their slaving days in the south, and that little rebel government they ran. If they repubs are nazis, then the dems are the perverse slave masters. Both equally shitty. The republicrats and the Democans. I love two-party politics. You have 2 choices, you side with 1 group of assholes or the other.

[crazygreek182]

Douche Bag

[johnq54]

Yep that's me I'm the douche bag who served while your president and vice president along with other cowards in this administration played hooky. I can see why you respect them so much.

[johnq54]

Don't come on here young man and try to take on someone who has walked the walk unlike the Bushies. cuz' you have no idea what you are talking about.

[eelzen]

GW Bush has hurt the military maybe more than LBJ or Nixon did in their day. Only time can tell.

[ThankfulGuy]

Yeah.

But it WORKED.

Bush got a second term.

Kerry? Nothing but a dwindling Senate term, and dippy, burned out neurotic wife to have to contend with.

[benitoisamu]

hahahahah you deserve pain and suffering bastards.

[IllustriousSeven]

I certainly wouldn't want an America hating loon like Kerry as my Commander-in-Chief.

If the democrats wonder why they haven't won plurality in a presidential election since Carter (by a whopping 1% over Ford), maybe they ought to start by reevaluating what kinds of dingbats they nominate.

[james1053]

lincoln served during the black hawk war, but never saw combat. i suppose he's on par with bush not seeing action in vietnam?

[RedAssailant003]

I wonder if that anti-Kerry Vietnam Veteran group was pro-Bush, Because Bush did not even go to Nam. He stayed home and played National Guard while all his buddies died with their faces in the mud. How the hell can he head a war when he never fought in one?

[james1053]

how could Abraham Lincoln, Woodrow Wilson, FDR, Harry Truman, JFK, LBJ, Richard Nixon, and George Bush 41 head a war? They never fought in one either. what a lame damn argument. seriously.

[RedAssailant003]

Jackass, my question was did these guys support Bush?

[oneofthe4truegods]

Typical of the Swift Boat Bastards for Character Assassination. Lincoln served in the Indian Wars, Both Kennedy and Bush were almost killed in WWII. This is just as much bullshit as the Swift Boat claims themselves.

[DestroyerX61]

Wilson, FDR, Truman, LBJ, Nixon, and Bush 41 were all fuck ups. JFK consulted Eisenhower all the time.

[rcdESPANYOL4ever]

@james1053 Bush 41 and JFK fought in war buddy.

[pixywife]

@james1053 george bush was one of the youngest pilots in ww2 bombing midway was one of his first missions and read PT-109 to see what jfk did in ww2, lincoin received fire just out side of the old soldiers home in D.C. in the civil war. however i do agree with your point.

[nomad6485]

@RedAssailant003 At least he served his country in some form. What did you ever do for your country?

[amurrica]

Here's another update-- Bush had the opportunity, the means, and the connections to serve in this war which he himself fully supported. Why didn't he? How could you possibly not think that Bush's behavior was more egregious than Kerry's?

[bruceross20]

Yeah it never made sense to my how Bush can question Kerry's patriotism when it is clear that he personally dodged service in Vietnam. At least Kerry went to Vietnam, & proved himself in combat. That's more than anyone can say for Bush. Kerry meerly expressed his opinions and observations upon returning (which is a right of freedom that he fought to preserve in case you forgot). Perhaps Bush may have tossed away medals too IF HE EVER WAS IN COMBAT OR EARNED ANY, but I guess we'll never know...

[amurrica]

So true. Why couldn't Kerry be as brave & patriotic as George Bush in Vietnam? Bush would NEVER give back his suitcase full of medals!

[fobalis]

Bush never would have won a suitcase full of medals

[stilly911]

I have a better question. What was George W. Bush doing while John Kerry was in Vietnam?

[mortfaucheur]

Kerry is entirely consistent. He was a socialist hate-America Leftist politician who pretended to be a soldier so he would have the 'cred' to stab same in the back, as he has done for 40 years. Why wouldn't he pretend to throw away his medals while helping communist North Vietnam gain victory? Thank god for the SBV4T!

[goatblower]

He was protesting the death of 3 million Vietnamese civilians killed by napalm. What did we accomplish in Nam . Nothing!

[aew31]

I ADMIRE Kerry for throwing his metals away. Which would you rather have discarded--the lives of all the people who died in Vietnam or these little rinky dink metals?

[jamesmarshall49]

DID YOU ALL KNOW JOHN Fn KERRY WAS A NAM VET ???> HAHAHAHAHAAHHAAHA

[LanysNevelesser]

What a disgusting, misleading ad.

[tonyny77]

Mr. Kerry shaped his career by over-stating and dramatizing his criticisms of problems typical of all wars. Can you do us the favor of explaining what is misleading about Mr. Kerry's own words? Perhaps you mean that he meant to PRETEND to discard his medals, but they slipped from his hands? Yes, please explain.

[Lensei]

No. I mean that the idea that discarding those medals makes him dishonourable is misleading. This whole ad is a vile exercise, as you would no doubt concede if you stepped out from behind the symbols you're hiding behind. You're no monkey, so stop throwing medals like dung.

[jamesmarshall49]

not misleading only in the fact KERRY didnt toss his medals. LOL but you knew that right.... FACE IT KERRY IS SCUM BAG DEMOCRAP
