NOW IS THE TIME FOR VETS TO TELL THE TRUTH ABOUT VIETNAM!

July 31, 2004

Comrades, John Kerry reopened the door of the Vietnam War by making his few months service there the centerpiece of the DEMOCRAT NATIONAL CONVENTION and his campaign, ignoring his accomplishment-free nineteen years in the Senate and his years as Lieutenant Governor under hyper liberal Michael Dukakis. His plan to fool America is working so far as illustrated by my experience two days ago:

“… the organizers from VietnamVeteransAgainstJohnKerry.com kindly allowed me to address the crowd about my experiences earlier in the day. Two forty something friends of mine had seen me on TV the night before and asked me what we had against John Kerry. Each of them thought all Vietnam veterans loved Kerry. I explained that:

“… TWO THIRDS OF ALL VIETNAM VETERANS HATE JOHN KERRY and consider him a traitor who came home early and betrayed us.” I went on:

“They thought John Kerry was my hero.” And the crowd got angry.

I then said “They think John Kerry is your hero.” And the crowd exploded.

Then “IS JOHN KERRY YOUR HERO?” And the crowd went wild.”

WHO IS THERE IN AMERICA WHO CAN TELL THE TRUTH ABOUT JOHN KERRY’S SERVICE?

My comrades, it is us! We were there in the millions and we know the truth.

Speaking of “the truth,” a Russian friend of mine once told me how, in the old Soviet Union, “ten thousand people could die in an accident or be killed by the authorities and it wouldn’t even be mentioned in PRAVDA,” the official Soviet newspaper. Soviet newspapers would ignore any happenings that contradicted the official party line, no matter how significant it was. Pravda means “truth” in Russian.

It is this same kind of “truth” that we are getting today from the Boston Globe, New York Times, CNN, ABC, NBC and CBS. I call it PRAVDIAN TRUTH. How else could they ignore the hundreds of John Kerry’s former comrades marching outside the Fleet Center and in front of his own house in Louisburg Square protesting his cynical use of our war for his political advantage?

The PUBLIC ENQUIRY PROJECT has determined through empirical observation of numerous data points that TWO THIRDS OF ALL VIETNAM VETERANS STRONGLY DISLIKE JOHN KERRY. Anyone who disagrees is invited to try and contradict this through modern polling techniques.

John Kerry, are you willing to use some of Teresa’s millions to try and contradict us?

Unless and until this happens, comrades, we need to continually ask the American public this question:

JOHN KERRY HAS BASED HIS CAMPAIGN ON HIS FEW MONTHS IN VIETNAM THREE DECADES AGO. THIS REST OF HIS CAMPAIGN IS JUST A POLITICIAN’S WORDS WITH NO EVIDENCE IN HIS RECORD TO SHOW THAT HE REALLY MEANS THEM.

IF HE IS TELLING THE TRUTH, WHY DO TWO THIRDS OF HIS FORMER COMRADES-IN-ARMS HATE HIM?
