I agree with DoctorDentons on April 3, 2007 at 2:47 PM.

McCain’s not my guy I, but if Kerry says it, it must be a lie.

Bradky asks:

“(a) What empirical data do you have to define 25% of all Democrats as traitors?”

We had this discussion before, remember? I responded with my estimate that between 15% and 25% of rank and file Democrats are traitors. Why do I think this?

From: Investor’s Business Daily poll published 2/16/07:

Question: “How important is a US victory in Iraq.” 53% of Democrats answered “very important” or “somewhat important” in February, 2007.

100% – 53% = 47% of Democrats DO NOT THINK IT IMPORTANT THAT THE US WINS IN IRAQ.

Interestingly enough, in the IBD poll taken in December 2006, this percentage was 53% of Democrats DO NOT THINK IT IMPORTANT THAT THE US WINS IN IRAQ.

I was giving you Democrats the benefit of the doubt…..

“(b)What credible sources support your claims about Kerry?”

Are you a truther, too?

Kerry’s statements concerning claims of rampant US war crimes were made before the Fullbright committee while under oath, and are a matter record. Google it!

Concerning the other points I made…

From: The Boston Globe, “Kerry spoke of meeting negotiators on Vietnam,” by Michael Kranish and Patrick Healy, Globe Staff, March 25, 2004

WASHINGTON — In a question-and-answer session before a Senate committee in 1971, John F. Kerry, who was a leading antiwar activist at the time, asserted that 200,000 Vietnamese per year were being “murdered by the United States of America” and said he had gone to Paris and “talked with both delegations at the peace talks” and met with communist representatives.

From: NY Daily Sun, “HOW KERRY QUIT VETERANS GROUP AMID DARK PLOT When Talk Turned To Assassination He Exited, Vet Says,” by Thomas Lipscome, March 12, 2004.

The anti-war group that John Kerry was the principal spokesman for debated and voted on a plot to assassinate politicians who supported the Vietnam War.

Mr. Kerry denies being present at the November 12-15, 1971, meeting in Kansas City of Vietnam Veterans Against the War, and says he quit the group before the meeting. But according to the current head of Missouri Veterans for Kerry, Randy Barnes, Mr. Kerry,who was then 27,was at the meeting, voted against the plot, and then orally resigned from the organization.

Mr. Barnes was present as part of the Kansas City host chapter for the 1971 meeting and recounted the incident in a phone interview with The New York Sun this week.

In addition to Mr. Barnes’s recollection placing Mr. Kerry at the Kansas City meeting, another Vietnam veteran who attended the meeting, Terry Du-Bose, said that Mr. Kerry was there.

There are at least two other independent corroborations that the antiwar group Vietnam Veterans Against the War, of which Mr. Kerry was the most prominent national spokesman, considered assassinating American political leaders who favored the war.

Gerald Nicosia’s 2001 book “Home To War” reports that one of the key leaders of Vietnam Veterans Against the War, Scott Camil,“proposed the assassination of the most hard-core conservative members of Congress,as well as any other powerful, intractable opponents of the antiwar movement.”The book reports on the Kansas City meeting at which Mr.Camil’s plan was debated and then voted down.

From: WorldNetDaily, “FBI verifies Kerry at ‘assassination summit’; Records back claim he was at meeting that discussed killing senators,” by Scott Stanley Jr, March 23, 2004.

News management may have reached an embarrassing low in the Los Angeles Times for March 23 where an article by staff writer John M. Glionna purports to offer selections from the FBI file on soon-to-be Democratic presidential nominee John F. Kerry, who was under surveillance by the G-Men as a member of the executive board of the pro-Viet Cong Vietnam Veterans Against the War.

Presenting items from 50 documents carefully selected from what it reported were 14 boxes of related government papers 12 feet high, the Times confirmed from the FBI and other witnesses that Kerry had resigned from the VVAW leadership in November 1971 at a Kansas City board meeting to run for Congress….

…Kerry reportedly voted against the killings but did not leave the meeting and call a cop. Until the FBI surveillance report surfaced to put him in the middle of the assassination discussion, Kerry claimed to have resigned before the meeting at which VVAW discussed the murder plan.

Are these credible enough?

Some of the FBI files in question can be viewed at http://www.paperlessarchives.com/john_kerry.html

Here’s more, from the Opinion Journal, “Kerry’s Other War Record His antiwar activities deserve more scrutiny from the press,” by John Fund, March 29, 2004

John Kerry mentions his service in Vietnam so frequently that it has become a running joke on the campaign press plane. He seldom if ever mentions his postwar activities as a national coordinator and principal spokesman for Vietnam Veterans Against the War, a group he says he quit in 1971 because he was concerned about its radical agenda. One reason may be that a credibility gap has started to widen over his antiwar history, and he clearly doesn’t want to discuss it at length. His campaign is issuing misleading and evasive statements on his antiwar service in a way that would do the Pentagon spinners of the Johnson and Nixon administrations proud.

In fact, Mr. Kerry acts as if he can’t remember much about the VVAW at all. This month his campaign several times said he “never, ever” attended a Kansas City meeting of antiwar leadership where members discussed and voted on an assassination plot against pro-war U.S. senators. Then, when confronted with FBI surveillance records of the meeting, the campaign acknowledged his presence as “an historical footnote.” Mr. Kerry told a Boston radio station the whole story was “such ancient history.” It was time to move on.

Not so fast. Mr. Kerry’s campaign has done more than contradict itself. It has been in full coverup mode. John Musgrave, one of the six witnesses who placed Mr. Kerry at the Kansas City meeting, says the head of Veterans for Kerry, John Hurley, called him twice and pressured him to change the story he had already told a Kansas City Star reporter about the 1971 meeting.

The above article describes all 3 issues in detail.

As to you statement: “And the fact that you start off with “25% of the rank and file” leads me to believe you don’t have the credible sources.”

I’m guessing that you’re a liberal Democrat or a “truther.”

Further, I also don’t give a crap if YOU think my sources are credible or not. You seem to be in denial of the truth.
