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!

Sorry to burst your bubble, but the vast right wing conspiracy isn't behind the SBVs.

Is this a false statement? Were there questions being asked at the time that made this issue relevant? Kerry is a politician and he will use an issue to his advantage as will Pres. Bush. IMO it was a real mistake to initially characterize Kerry as a Dukakis clone.
The problem with the SBVT allegations is that by attempting to smear Kerry, they then also cast doubt on how the Navy awarded Purple Hearts and Medals of Honor, which then once again hurts the Veterans who served honorably in Vietnam.
Again I can understand the SBVT anger at the antiwar stance Kerry took after his service in Vietnam and I think those are legitimate issues for them to bring up. However, I don’t know how much credibility they’ll have, since so much of their attack on Kerry��s actual service and his heroism under fire has been proven to be false and politically motivated.
But hey the summer could have been as boring as the 2000 campaign was – LOL!
OT – Thanks for the tip.

I've written this before many times but it doesn't seem to get through to anyone. Posting the truth on this board is like pissing in the wind.
Accountability? So where is Kerry's accoutnability for the war crimes he stated that he himself committed? How about the ones that he has personal knowledge of? Did he, as our brave soldier at Abu Ghraib did, report his comrades for committing these war crimes? Did he refuse to follow the orders (as is an officer's duty when he knows an order is illegal) to commit war crimes himself?
