And now the NEXT rightwingnut smear & total lie re Vietnam Vets & Kerry
Edited on Sun Aug-22-04 02:27 AM by LynnTheDem
Now that the ignorant RWWs can no longer believe (or pretend to believe) that Kerry was "accusing" the soldiers of atrocities in Vietnam coz too many people have shown the actual Kerry testimony versus the RWW version by cutting off the first entire half of Kerry's sentance;

What Kerry actually said:

"...It is impossible to describe to you exactly what did happen in Detroit--the emotions in the room, and the feelings of the men who were reliving their experiences in Vietnam. They relived the absolute horror of what this country, in a sense, made them do.

They told stories that, at times,
they had personally raped..."

And the SB Liars version:

"They had personally raped, cut off ears, cut off heads" Kerry is shown testifying in the opening clip.

Now they're onto their next lying smear.

Now they're saying the Winter Soldiers were never Vietnam vets or never were marines AT ALL!!!

I mean EXSQUEEZE ME???!!!!

The "Winter Soldiers" marines' TESTIMONIES were entered into the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee Congressional Records by Sen. Mark Hatfield (R) and the marines were INVESTIGATED by the US Marine Corps Commandant of the Naval Investigative Service.

Investigators concluded they were unable to either confirm or refute the claimed atrocities...but they sure as hell never said anyone who had testified at the Winter Soldier hearings weren't marines and/or weren't Vietnam vets!!!

The February 3, 1971, Detroit Free Press interviewed James Weber and Ron Palosaari, two soldiers who had testified in the Winter Soldier hearings, (and another soldier who hadn't known about the hearings), all from the same American unit, after the Winter Soldier Hearings.

The Pentagon confirmed that Weber and Palosaari, who testified in the Winter Soldier hearings, were IN FACT Vietnam veterans.

Guenter Lewy in America in Vietnam said "The results of this investigation, carried out by the Naval Investigative Service are interesting and revealing ... Many of the veterans, although assured that they would not be questioned about atrocities they might have committed personally, refused to be interviewed. One of the active members of the VVAW told investigators that the leadership had directed the entire membership not to cooperate with military."

But in their fanatical zealot support of bush, these rightwingnut bastards just carry right on smearing & lying about our veterans!!!

Damn them all to hell!

Off now to round up a large flock of links to the FACTS to beat the RWW psycho lying bastards with...!

edited for typo (don't type angry...don't type angry...!)
