There once was a man named Lurch

Upon a bird finger he’d perch

Around and around he would twirl

Delight he would in such fun

Until Theresa made him swirl

and then he needed some salve for his buns

HANOI JOHN
AND
HANOI JANE

By January of 1970, Kerry’s anti-war stance led him to “tell his boss that his conscience dictated that he protest the war, that he wanted out of the Navy immediately so that he could run for congress.” He lost his bid for election.

John Kerry attended an anti-war rally in September of 1970 with “Hanoi” Jane Fonda and Donald Sutherland…AFTER Fonda and Sutherland had organized their “F*ck the Army” tour. This tour, a spoof of USO tours, was performed outside military installations, and as its name indicates, was intended to undermine the morale of American soldiers fighting in Vietnam.

The communist Daily World published photos of John Kerry speaking to protestors and bragged that Kerry’s group displayed a banner portraying a portrait of Communist Party leader Angela Davis, who once stated publicly that she was “dedicated to the overthrow of your [the United States'] system of government and your society,” the New American reported in May of 2003.

By his regular participation in VVAW demonstrations, Kerry aligned himself with what the Boston Herald Traveler labeled ‘revolutionary Communists.’ The December 12, 1971, Boston Herald Traveler reported that an ‘abundance of Vietcong flags, clenched fists raised in the air, and placards plainly bearing legends in support of China, Cuba, the USSR, North Korea and the Hanoi government” were present.’

Vietnam Veterans Against John Kerry says: “As a national leader of VVAW, Kerry campaigned against the effort of the United States to contain the spread of Communism. He used the blood of servicemen still in the field for his own political advancement by claiming that their blood was being shed unnecessarily or in vain.

With John Kerry as their leader, “VVAW members mocked the uniform of United States soldiers by wearing tattered fatigues marked with pro-communist graffiti. They dishonored America by marching in demonstrations under the flag of the Viet Cong enemy.”

In recent years, John Kerry’s blatant exploitation of the Vietnam Veterans’ Memorial for political gain and Veteran’s Day photo ops have resulted in many veterans, who are still outraged by his Winter Soldier testimony and his betrayal of his fellow soldiers and his country, turning their backs on him.

Testifying before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on April 23, 1971, Kerry claimed that U.S. soldiers had “raped, cut off ears, cut off heads, taped wires from portable telephones to human genitals and turned up the power, cut off limbs, blown up bodies, randomly shot at civilians, razed villages, shot cattle and dogs for fun, poisoned food stocks, and generally ravaged the countryside of South Vietnam.”

In his testimony, Kerry claimed there was no communist threat and said: “In 1970 at West Point Vice President Agnew said ‘some glamorize the criminal misfits of society while our best men die in Asian rice paddies to preserve the freedom which most of those misfits abuse,’ and this was used as a rallying point for our effort in Vietnam. But for us, as boys in Asia whom the country was supposed to support, his statement is a terrible distortion from which we can only draw a very deep sense of revulsion, and hence the anger of some of the men who are here in Washington today. It is a distortion because we in no way consider ourselves the best men of this country ….”

On April 23, 1971, Kerry led members of VVAW (Vietnam Veterans Against the War)in a protest during which they threw their medals and ribbons over a fence in front of the U.S. Capitol. Kerry, it should be noted, did not throw his own medals—they hold a place of honor in his congressional offices.

John Kerry then led Operation Dewey Canyon III, which began on April 18, 1971, with nearly 1,000 Vietnam veterans, armed with toy rifles, gathering on the Washington Mall for what they called “a limited incursion” wherein they staged mock “search and destroy” missions and massacres of civilians. Under Kerry’s leadership, VVAW members mocked the uniform of American soldiers by wearing tattered fatigues marked with pro-communist graffiti. They dishonored America by marching in demonstrations under the flag of the Viet Cong.

Kerry ran for election to the House of Representatives in 1972, and in a further attempt to cover up his perfidy, he quashed reproduction of the picture on the front cover of his own book, The New Soldier. His political opponents reported that “it depicted several unkempt youths crudely handling an upside down American flag to mock the famous photo of the U.S. Marines at Iwo Jima.”

There’s a whole lot of us who remember a whole lot more who pissed on those who went through hell and came out with a bond forged of hellmade steel.

They’re not likely to forget a turncoat, someone who during that time of great anguish went to the other side.

John Forbes Kerrys’ gerrymandered career is built on bullshit.

He’s a hater liberal one of the worst.
