Grave and specific allegations, August 13, 2004
Reviewer: G. Phillips - See all my reviews
The allegations contained in this book are very specific and may destroy Kerry's political future if proven true. I note Kerry's repeated 'Chrismas in Cambodia' claim over the last 30 years has recently been admitted to have been a lie by his campaign committee, and the deafening silence from major leftwing news sources such as The New York Times and Washington Post on the whole issue also speaks volumes.
For anyone who wants to know the alleged facts rather than personal attacks on the authors, this is the primary - and possibly only - mainstream source. Given that Kerry wishes to lead the most powerful country in the world I would suggest that everyone should make a point of reading it.

Finally - The TRUTH About John Kerry!!!, August 13, 2004
Reviewer: Scott Rachui (Allen, TX USA) - See all my reviews
John Kerry has made his service in Vietnam a central issue in this election. He wants us to think he's this proud, patriotic war hero who's coming in to save us and fight a more sensitive war on terror (more sensitive? Isn't that a bit like doing surgery in which you don't cut the patient?). This book, which is one of the most well documented books so far put out in this campaign, gets right to the heart of Kerry's service and exposes him for the fraud he is.
The fact is that EVERY commanding officer of John Kerry has come out publically to say that John Kerry's statements about his service in Vietnam are lies. Over 200 Swift Boat veterans have signed documents stating that John Kerry is an opportunist who will say and do anything to get elected. And 60 of Kerry's fellow soldiers, who served right next to him during the Vietnam War, are showing in this book the real John Kerry. The Kerry who runs from fights, who insists that cameras film him as he "re-enacts" firefights after the fact (presumably so he can use the footage in political ads...), who wounds himself to get purple hearts, and who shoots fleeing enemies in the back to get his medals.
In fact, the critics of this book will say that none of the people contributing to it were in Kerry's swift boat. That's true. Instead, they were in all of the other boats that were riding alongside of Kerry's boat. But to say that these men and their eyewitness testimony isn't valid because they weren't on the boat is like a policeman at the scene of an accident saying to a witness "excuse me, sir, were you IN the car that wrecked? Because if you were just in a car in another lane I can't trust your testimony." It's ludicrous and any rational person knows it.
The fact is that the DNC and its lawyers are doing everything they can to make sure that you DON'T hear what these brave men have to say. They want them silenced because their testimony is too damaging to their political candidate. This is Free Speech at its finest (take note those of you who would vote for John Kerry...free speech to a liberal means he gets to say what he wants, but reserves the right to sue you if you try and exercise your free speech rights).
I'll wrap up with one observation. John Kerry has said that he was in Cambodia during Christmas of 1968. He says the events of being in Cambodia while the President denied military were in that country is "seared" in his mind. Now we find out that Kerry's military records show that he WASN'T in Cambodia during that time. In fact, reporters are scrambling to say that it was JANUARY and not Christmas that Kerry was there! Now, if something is SEARED in my mind, do you think I won't remember when it happened? This is just another blatant Kerry lie exposed.
The American people are smart enough not to believe John Kerry's lies. They're smart enough that the DNC and their cadre of lawyers isn't going to be able to silence the truth this time. This book and it's popularity is definitive proof of that. |
