"But the fact is I lied my ass off, and I'm not proud of it." prestopundit LYING ABOUT VIETNAM -- a former member of John Kerry's <font color=blue>"Vietnam Veterans Against the War"<font color=black> comes forward. Quotable: <font color=blue> [Steve] Pitkin appears several times in the [VVAW] documentary film "Winter Soldier," where he comes across as vague and somewhat stunned, especially while being questioned by John Kerry in a preliminary interview .. But Steve Pitkin says today that what the film actually shows are his efforts to avoid answering Kerry’s questions at all. During the formal hearings, Pitkin started to slam the press for misrepresenting what GIs really did in Vietnam, but a woman he believes was Jane Fonda shot him an astonished look and started to stand up. Steve could see other members of the group getting ready to cut him off, so he changed course and made up a few things he thought they would be willing to accept. "Everything I said about atrocities and racism was a lie. My unit never went out with the intention of doing anything but its job. And I never saw black soldiers treated differently, get picked out for the worst or most dangerous jobs, or anything like that. There were some guys, shirkers, who would intentionally injure themselves to get sent home, so I talked about that for a while. <font size=4>But the fact is I lied my ass off, and I'm not proud of it."<font size=3> hayekcenter.org
