Smear Starts at White House
| Tue, 08-24-2004 - 5:26am |
Everyone I know (Republican, Democrat & Independent) thinks that the anti-Kerry smear campaign on his Vietnam War record began at the White House. Not a person, I know, believes the administration denials.
Does that matter? I think it does!

Here I go again, voicing my opinion. I do think any Vet that wants to bring up anyones record has a right to do so. I also think that that the organization that started all these disputes is doing all it can to get as many people against Kerry as possible. I have heard several Vets say in recent interviews that they only got in this organization after being called and asked to speak against Kerry, and most are pissed about his senate statement and weren't aware of complaints about his service. There were also plenty of vets that do agree with Kerry who were called with requests to join the crusade. So I think with all the calling "asking" people to join, there is alot of stuff being spoon fead to these vets that may have convinced them to join and go along with all that is in dispute. Sure some of thes guys joined on their own and wanted to tell there side, but some are just going along for the ride only after this organization went out of their way to get as many vets as possible to agree with their side.

It is on the record that Kerry also called many of these vets before the story broke begging them to support his side. Is it wrong that Kerry called these vets also? As I see it they had a choice which side they were going to take and they chose to go with the truth.
Well. How do you know? >>
And how do you know, or know otherwise. This is politics and that gets very dirty at times.

I don't know how long after that Kerry took to bring it up, but he had already brought it up before those senate meetings, which were not that terribly long after his service.
I was not in vietnam but that information is common knowledge now, and taught in most American history classes, and oozes from many war movies about vietnam. Sure not all of that is completely accurate, but are you going to try to convince me that all these things are wrong? Reality tells me alot of messed up stuff went on over there, alot more then some are willing to realize.

This just happens to be mine.

I don't give much credence to what is taught by left leaning educational institutions or put forth by the Hollywood elite.
On this point we agree.
