Concerning His Cambodia Story......
The Kerry camp
is now hedging on that claim, which Kerry once told the Senate was "seared" into
his memory ever since President Richard Nixon falsely claimed there were no U.S.
troops in Cambodia. In fact, Nixon wasn't yet president. - DEBORAH ORIN

A
Tour of Duty or a Ton of Dooky? by Doug Giles (8/14)
Posted with the
permission of Doug Giles.
It seems the Swift Boat Vets have delivered a
swift kick to Kerry’s crotch. Ouch! That’s gotta hurt. What’s ironic -- and typical
-- is the Left’s hysterically hypocritical spin machine screaming for the Swifties’
411 to be immediately Dixie Chicked. The self- righteous, first amendment waving,
Michael Moron embracers are not so free with freedom of speech when it happens
to slow roast their presidential nominee a mere 80 or so days before the nation
schleps to the polls.
What’s funny, [not funny, “ha-ha” … funny “weird”]
is as long as the information comes from one uberliberal, overweight, college
dropout with a communist bent, who routinely attempts to make “W” look like a
greedy gnome who wrongfully plays golf while he unrepentantly sends our kids to
the Gulf, well … that’s cool. Spreading such misinformation, created from the
ether by one of the left’s darlings should not, according to most liberals, be
examined. No! It should be believed and be considered inerrant and infallible,
and the purveyor of such rank propaganda lifted high as a prophet.
But
flip to today. More than 60 decorated, non-politically active, eyewitnesses of
Kerry’s four month stint in Vietnam -- men who ate, slept, and served a few feet
from the Dems’ presidential applicant – have written a heavily documented, devastating
tell all, Unfit
for Command, credibly contradicting Kerry’s account of his fleeting 120 days
in ‘Nam. They represent more than 250 Swift Boat veterans, including Kerry’s commanding
officer! So, what’s the response from all the usual political and media suspects?
What the heck do they know? Why should they be trusted? Dismiss ‘em; censure ‘em
… and if they keep trying to talk, just shout them down.
If Unfit for Command
is true, then the half-inflated raft on which Kerry’s campaign is currently floating,
i.e., his allegedly heroic four months in ‘Nam is sunk. [Four months? I took woodworking
shop for four months 29 years ago, but that sure doesn’t mean I’m fit to take
Bob Vila’s job.]
It’s Kerry who volleyed his Vietnam record into the court
of public scrutiny. I guess he didn’t figure that 254 guys who served with and
around him would return service back to his court with a violently contradictory
top spin. And now it is up to Kerry, not Lanny Davis, not Jeh Johnson and certainly
not James Carville to field the multitudinous charges.
The right and proper
action for John Kerry is to answer the heavily documented allegations. If it turns
out that he can’t or won’t, then he needs to be held in contempt or suspicion,
and the Democrats need to turn to some non-Pinocchio pundit without amnesia and
high grade narcissism. That is, if liberals are intellectually honest and don’t
want still another prevaricator in the Oval Office to embarrass them at every
turn.
Come on, Senator Kerry: come clean. Answer the accusations. Provide
whatever paperwork you need to nail the coffin shut on the allegedly fallacious
claims of the Swifties who have been brave enough to stand and be counted. And
if you did lie to us, then tell us. We’re big boys.
You just might stun
us into forgiving you and voting for you, because the public hasn’t seen a truth
dealing Democrat presidential hopeful in ages; one who, when caught red-handed
lying about his past or humping an intern, actually admits it and repents. Just
tell us your ego got in the way… you trumped your ‘Nam service because your Senate
record and your days spent carrying Mike Dukakis’ briefcase are sorta … well,
lackluster.
Look, even if you don’t get elected, if you lied and now confess
it, at least you’ll sleep better at night and something really rewarding will
happen. Allergan© will hire you to be one of their Botox spokes models. Or maybe
you’ll get an offer to get into celebrity boxing. I’m thinkin’ a John Kerry vs.
Janet Reno match could prove a lucrative contest. I know it would blow away, ratings
wise, last Thursday’s Joey Buttafuoco vs. Joanie Laurer bout.
Here’s the
flip side of the suspicious Kerry Tour of Duty coin: if these Swifties have lied
and maliciously slandered and publicly defamed Senator Kerry, then their group
picture needs to be put next to the definition of creepy in the updated 2005 version
of Webster’s Unabridged Dictionary. And not only that: they should be punished
somehow for their libelous claims, like having to be Teresa [Tah- ray- za] Heinz
Kerry’s butler, or bath drawer, or pool boy or masseur.
George Bush was
forced to come forward with the truth about his drinking history and National
Guard records, and his pre 9/11 intelligence or lack thereof. What’s the problem
with John Kerry having to come forward and answer this book’s detailed allegations
and provide the necessary documents, like who witnessed his acts of heroism and
who treated his wounds?
My ClashPoint is this, Senator: President Bush
was flambéed for his honorable Texas National Guard record, and grilled by the
9/11 Commission. So, don’t think it’s too much for you to answer, now, the accusations
leveled at you by your fellow Swifties. Unfit for Command calls you, John Forbes
Kerry, a liar and phony and your Vietnam claims a scam. That’s tough language.
Since you’ve built much of your political platform on what the Swifties are calling
shifting sands, you’ve got to answer their charges.
This book didn’t come
from Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity or Ann Coulter but rather from eyewitnesses,
respectable naval officers and enlisted men calling you, Senator, on the carpet
for your combat claims. I know we can’t answer all our detractors’ critiques but
this isn’t a simple “Kerry Sucks” 900 word op-ed written by some axe-flailing
fame seeker. This is 256 pages of heavily footnoted analysis that has been well-written,
meticulously researched and reeks of sincerity.
So, allay our concerns,
Mr. Kerry. Weigh in and show us the Swift Boat Veterans are wrong. Prove to us
that your Tour of Duty was not a ton of dooky.

Unfit for Command" is a totally factual and
well-documented/footnoted exposi of the phony Navy career of John F. Kerry. It
absolutely DESTROYS his account of what he did in Vietnam. Please buy the book

Former
FBI Agent Warns Swift Boat Vets - Gary Aldrich (archive) August 10, 2004
Posted
with the permission of Gary Aldrich
In 1996, I took the ride
of my life, but I have no regrets about exposing Bill Clinton for the louse that
he is. Blowing the whistle on a powerful politician was different from any activity
I had ever undertaken, and I arrested people and dodged bullets for a living!
I thought I had seen it all, but I was wrong. When I began my quest to surface
the truth, I was an honest, independent, a-political FBI agent. But, when the
establishment was finished with me, I was “aligned with the Dole campaign, Big
Tobacco, shadowy right-wing financiers of various anti-Clinton cabals and conspiracies,
and a friend of the NRA!”
The truth did not matter – I was
whatever the news media said I was. I’ve labored long and hard to regain my reputation
and credibility, and to some degree I have succeeded. But for a lot of Americans,
all they will ever remember about my attempt to tell the truth is that the president’s
top advisor, George Stephanopoulos, called me a pathological liar.
So,
my warning to the Swift Boat Vets is this: When you take on the establishment,
be prepared to suffer serious assaults to your reputation, at least in the short
run. Over time, you will be proven to be honest, as well as brave. Eventually,
your reputations will be mostly restored, but nothing will ever be the same for
you again. The mainstream media will work diligently to alter the population’s
perception of you in ways that you could not possibly imagine.
They
will demonize, and then marginalize you so that your impact on this coming election
will be minimal.
Many have come before you and have suffered
the same fate. When you become whistle-blowers and take on the establishment,
you’ll find few friends within the establishment, right or left, to support you.
The establishment does not want the truth; therefore, your real support will come
from the grass roots.
You have already had some hint of this
from the recent White House response to your Television ad. They said they didn’t
like it. Your effective and moving testimony as Swift Boat veterans who really
did know John Kerry blew his war-hero cover to bits.
If your
60-second ad were given honest exposure, the election would be all but over, and
the people who have seen it know this. That’s why they will destroy you, then
ignore you.
The establishment can’t stand people like you.
Especially not now, not after the candidates have gone through the primary process
and are coming down to the wire. There is much campaigning to come, and so much
money to be spent. You just cannot have a circumstance where the people are given
honest information that would alter the course of an election. It’s just not done,
you see?
Besides, the mainstream media does not like George
Bush, and they will do nothing to help him win re-election. Did you think for
a minute that they would rush to cover your press conferences and report the news
that the majority of Veterans cannot stand John Kerry? Did you actually believe
you would be invited on “Sixty Minutes”? Even now, reporters are out looking for
your dirty laundry and trying to poke holes in your stories. After they find out
that your stories match, have the ring of truth, and that you’re decent folk just
trying to do what’s right, they will simply close their notebooks and quietly
walk away.
And don’t expect to speak at the GOP convention
in New York City or sit in the president’s box, like Michael Moore did at the
Democrats’ convention. The GOP establishment doesn’t like the ad – it makes them
very nervous. For example, it upset Senator John McCain, who rushed to defend
his senatorial pal when he heard about it.
Of course, Senator
McCain wishes all grass-roots types and ordinary folk would just go away. He has
been instrumental in silencing a lot of Americans with his campaign finance legislation.
Senator McCain is part of the establishment now, and the establishment does not
care for boat rockers.
You have served our country well, and
your exploits were heroic. You received real wounds, some of you, and you earned
honest to goodness Purple Hearts and other medals which you wear proudly. You
faced death and you took life in a war, and then you came home to a nation that
has failed to honor you properly. You have never forgotten that this dishonest
man, John Kerry, and his friends in the mainstream media caused the scorn you
experienced.
But you didn’t let that get you down. You blended
back into society in various ways. You have become successes in the private sector,
where you have labored for decades, minding your own business and mostly letting
others charge the windmills of political protest.
But like
whistle-blowers before you, you came to believe that you were in possession of
significant information that the American people needed to know before an important
election and as a nation. You stood up for the truth, and we owe you a debt of
gratitude – again!
We are a nation that was attacked, and
now we are at war. We’re trying to protect ourselves against future attacks, and
because of what you know – first hand – you believe with all your hearts that
Senator Kerry should not become commander in chief. At least, not right now –
not at this time.
I believe Kerry will lose in a landslide,
just like George McGovern in 1972. I believe the reason he will lose is, in part,
because you had the courage to step forward and tell the American people the truth.
The people will get the truth – they always do.
You will take
hits and wounds of a different kind this time, but your solace may be found printed
on a sign that once sat on the desk of a great president, Ronald Reagan. It read,
“Great things can be accomplished as long as you don’t care about who gets the
credit.”

Patrick Henry Center for Individual Liberty, a Townhall.com member group.
