IF THIS IS TREASON, THEN GENOCIDE IS CHARITY
To their discredit most news media continue to pander the Swift Boat malarkey, now reduced to a Sieve Boat of dying and decomposing lies. There are no valid issues here, just stink and smoke. Whether Kerry was in Cambodia at a particular time is irrelevant. The real question has always been, “Why was George hiding?” Despite being disproved from all sides Smeargate remains Bush’s reply to Kerry’s plea for a positive campaign predicated on the issues. It should be condemned by all patriotic Americans and especially by those with strong Christian and family values. For G.W. Bush with his reptilian record of military cowardice and desertion, incubating this rotten egg is like embracing a live grenade. But he has no choice since the White House is one of only two groups calculating to benefit from this Borgia Bush Bandwagon. The second group are those heroes fantasizing that defeating Kerry will ease their wounded pride and personal Vietnam demons. It won’t because the Bush propaganda has led them to the wrong target. A full transcript of Kerry’s remarks reveals that he relates only hearsay recollections of others; he blames the nature of war and its commanders and not individuals for any atrocities; he decries tactics such as search and destroy and free fire zones; and he stridently opposes continuation of an unwinnable and morally questionable war (views ultimately embraced by most Americans). The most important point is that if there had been more like John Kerry, there would be fewer names on the Vietnam Wall. If that is “treason,” then genocide is charity. True patriots never attack the views and personal military sacrifices of another veteran. To continue to do so is a betrayal of the contributions of all who have worn the uniform, and specifically all of those who have been decorated for heroic service. In response to this outrage, no loyal and patriotic American should be silent.
