Vet speaking against Kerry now, same Dexter Lehtinen eardeep in IranContra
Edited on Sun Sep-12-04 01:49 PM by blm
scandal?

Anyone know? Seems to me that if it's the same guy then he's not going to tell his audience that the real reason he hates Kerry is that Kerry caught them dealing drugs and arms with terrorists.

We've been robbed!

We may very well get robbed again. That doesn't mean we deserve it!!!

6. Then that WOULD be him. This is a BFEE loyalist. He is NO patriot.
Not in any sense of the word.

Dexter Lehtinen enabled and armed terrorists, and did so under the direction of George Bush Sr. They even lied to Ronald Reagan about their activities.

9. You're being sarcastic about the crowd size, right?? This 'crowd'
appears really small, really angry, really hateful and really pathetic from what I can see.

7. BCCI and Iran-Contra scandal player
Edited on Sun Sep-12-04 02:03 PM by zulchzulu
It looks like brother Dexter ratted on his own brother for being an in-your-face drug dealer/player knee deep in the BCCI and Iran Contra Scandal.

"...Leon Kellner resigned amid accusations he had impeded an investigation into the Iran-contra affair. Since then four different men, including the much maligned Dexter Lehtinen, have temporarily headed the Miami office, overseeing a staff that has doubled to more than 200 prosecutors as South Florida emerged as a hub of criminal activity."
http://www.miaminewtimes.com/issues/1993-07-07/metro2.html

"According to a NBC special on the S & L scandal, Dexter Lehtinen, the temporary appointee to the position of federal prosecutor for south Florida, claims he was obstructed by the government from serving subpoenas on many of the big figures connected to Paul. Lehtinen was never confirmed officially for the position after serving in it for several years - some say this was because of things in his background that might lead to a confirmation fight, but others feel it was because he was digging too deeply into CenTrust's failures. Lehtinen now claims that Paul may have bribed many local and federal officials to cover up for money laundering and secret Carribean accounts to sequester 'narcodollars.' Investigators found that Paul lived a lavish lifestyle, buying gold fixtures and priceless art treasures for his office in the CenTrust building. When CenTrust was starting to face insolvency, Paul found a cash influx from an unsuspected source - BCCI financier Farouk, who tried to use CenTrust to launder money from the Banco Nazionale Lavore (BNL) in Italy. The S & L scandal is, it seems, yet another arm within the Octopus."

15. Lehtinen was in there to distract from the REAL scandals and cover up for
the Bush players.

13. Go ahead and write them.
As someone reminded me recently, the worst thing is to do nothing because you can do a little. I've found that a well-timed, carefully written message can make a difference.

What might be even better is mentioning this information to other media outlets covering this hate rally against Kerry on September 12th. Go ahead and point out the past sins, and appeal to people's reason. They need to have their memories refreshed in a big way.

Also, it's absolutely no coincidence that each Bush campaign relies on smears and stirring up hatred. The Bush campaign did the same thing to John McCain in the 2000 primaries. This really ought to kill off the "Bush is a nice guy" myth, but no one in the media seems to be making the connection (yet).

12. I was wtching this and
I can't help but wonder how many of these veterans are here today cuz Kerry stood and took the heat and helped to get them out of Vietnam. And does it seem to just me that most people knew of these types of things going on, but Kerry just made them official to get changes made?

14. This is "perception management" being presented
by some old hands at psy-ops.

17. EXACTLY. They are using misiformed veterans to bolster their own treason.
How pitiful for those poor, manipulated veterans.
