John Kerry is a phony, who has no doubt fraudulently received two or three purple hearts. He has threatened the free speech of other Vietnam veterans by threatening to sui them for publishing their accounts of his phony record in Vietnam. Therefore, he is anti-free speech. After throwing his phony medals over the White house fence in protest with Jane Fonda look-a-likes, he now holds them up as the sole reason he should be elected as Commander in Chief. It would be akin to someone in the private sector lying about having a Bachelor, Master and PHD, then claiming he is the fittest person for the job as CEO. Unless John Kerry answers the charges in a factual way made by real Vietnam heroes by releasing all his military records, he should go down as a pathetic Dukakis clown, phonily wearing a tank helmet. Not only has John Kerry lied for years about other veterans who served honorably, and continues to lie today, he has admitted to being involved in atrocities far worse than what our soldiers were involved with in Iraq. In other words, in the span of 4 months he committed horrific atrocities against the people of Vietnam (according to his own statements), and managed to scam the system in order to give himself enough purple hearts to get out as soon as possible. Thereby, denigrating the hero's who gave their life in war, and posthumously received a purple heart. The simple fact is character matters. It's probably the only thing, which truly does when serving as President. We're rapidly discovering John Kerry has no character.

John Kerry risked his life in combat service to his country. He earned (not that you have to earn it) his right to free speech. Every other Nam Vet earned it too. Is their free speech not as important as Kerry's? He does not question your patriotism or your right to free speech. That is exactly and precisely what he questioned when he organized the winter soldiers, spoke to congress and served as president of VVOA. ice.he.net

>>He loves his country as much as you do. He does not question your patriotism or your right to free speech.<< Kerry might not question my free speech rights, but what about the SwiftVets same rights? The Kerry Campaign, DNC & other Liberal political groups are currently threatening the 250 SwiftVets, who have stated Kerry is unfit for command, with lawsuits. That's how much he respects their free speech rights. /////////////////////////////// >>He came back from war to tell the American people what he thought. He thought (I am liberally - pardon the phrase - paraphrasing) war is hell. People do things they ordinarily would not do - including himself.<< Kerry did more than express war is hell, he slandered all his former comrades with his self-admitted gross exaggerations(really lies) about them. //////////////////////////// >>He did not think people in power should send other people's children to war - if there is no urgent reasons for it. He did not think fighting for Vietnamese people (especially when most of them did not want us there) was worth killing American soldiers. He thought the war in Vietnam was a mistake. He earned his right to speak - again, not that you have to earn that right.<< I assume you & Mr Kerry would have protested the American War of Independence as well since there was really no "urgent reason" for the colonists to start a revolution against England at the time. Would you not agree that the Vietnam SwiftVets for the Truth organization(many wounded & decorated as well) earned their right to state their opinion whether a candidate is qualified to become their President?
