Horowitz says it succinctly:

I watched John Kerry's debate with John O'Neill on the Cavett show again. Here' s a man who scratched himself and took three purple hearts, who shot a wounded and fleeing teenager in the back and got himself a silver star, who then staged his own "heroic" deeds and filmed them for future campaign footage, who then came back and joined domestic Communists like Tom Hayden and Jane Fonda to stab his own comrades in the back. And here he is on the Dick Cavett show predicting that if America pulled out from South Vietnam -- a policy he was advocating and which his slander of his country and his comrades was intended to produce -- there "wouldn't be a bloodbath." He even compared America's military efforts to protect the freedom and lives of the South Vietnamese to the savageries the Communists had already committed against them and were about to commit again. John Kerry and his despicable comrades got their way. America did pull out and without American soldiers to protect them, the Communists proceeded to slaughter two and a half million Cambodians and Vietnamese in the months that followed. The blood of those Vietnamese and Cambodians is on John Kerry's head (and others like him). What I find puzzling is that perfectly intelligent people could even contemplate voting for a scoundrel like this.

Why didn't he use his camera to film the atrocities if he felt so strongly about them? Why no footage of his purple heart deserving wounds? (though the rice in the butt wound might be kinda gross)

The blood of 2.5 million is an awful lot of blood.

>>This is why I say: SwiftVets, you fought the spread of communism in Vietnam; now you've been called back to duty to fight it in America.<<

What a great thing to say about SwiftVets. I second that notion.

What a sobering thought. Sadly you are right:(

By 1983, Grenada had become a Soviet-Cuban base, was swarming with Russian and Cuban soldiers and had begun building a military airport to be used for launching Cuban soldiers into Africa.

When the Communist government was overthrown by a more violent Red regime, which also appeared to threaten 1,000 American medical school students on the island, President Reagan called for an invasion. The revolutionary government was overthrown and the students rescued, one of whom famously fell to his knees and kissed American soil, he was so grateful.

Kerry's response? According to the Boston Globe (June 19, 2003), the senator was "scornful" of the invasion. "At one point, he likened it to 'Boston College's playing football against the Sisters of Mercy.'" Earlier, Kerry told the Cape Codder newspaper that "no substantial threat to U.S. interests existed and American lives were not endangered. . . ."

Kerry was hardly through making light of the Communist threat. In his winning Senate campaign in 1984, he conspicuously challenged Ronald Reagan's military buildup by calling for massive, unilateral disarmament. Indeed, according to the recent Kerry biography by three Boston Globe reporters (p.196): "Kerry supported cancellation of a host of weapons systems that have become the basis of U.S. military might--the high-tech munitions and delivery systems on display to the world as they leveled the Iraqi regime of Saddam Hussein in a matter of weeks."

A year later, Kerry was romancing Daniel Ortega's Red regime in Nicaragua. The Marxist-Leninist government had imported Soviet and Cuban military advisers, confiscated private property and jailed non-violent dissenters. The Sandinistas had also begun shoveling weapons, money and training to Red guerrilla movements throughout Central America, with Minister of Interior Tomas Borge predicting in a Playboy interview that the revolution would eventually sweep through El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and even Mexico.

Nevertheless, in April 1985, after visiting Ortega in Managua, Kerry breathlessly returned home to inform his fellow senators that peace might be at hand, that Ortega had pledged to him he would restore civil liberties and boot out the Soviets and Cubans if the U.S. would just shut down aid to the anti-Communist Contra insurgency. The House did kill the Contra assistance package on April 23--just as Kerry had hoped and urged. Within 24 hours, Ortega announced he was planning a trip to Russia to get advice and economic assistance!

Supporters of Kerry's plan to appease Ortega now felt betrayed. Sen. Jim Sasser (D.-Tenn.), who had been in Kerry's corner, angrily remarked that he would have favored Contra assistance if he had been aware of Ortega's plans. Even Kerry, embarrassed but not really contrite, insisted he was "as mad as anyone" about Ortega's trip. (But not so mad as to reject his own policy.)

So far as Cuba is concerned, Kerry, according to political reporter Peter Wallsten of the Miami Herald, takes a tough attitude when campaigning in Florida, where the Cuban-American vote is crucial. In the spring of this year, Kerry accused Castro of running a "Stalinist" regime and said: "I voted for the Helms-Burton legislation to be tough on companies that deal with him."

However, Wallsten in a March 14 dispatch, went on to point out the problem with Kerry's response: "Kerry voted against it." (And, indeed, a check with the Congressional Record of March 5, 1996, reveals that Kerry was one of just 22 senators to oppose Helms-Burton.)



Look Daniel Ortega Jr is a supporter of Kerry.Is he the son of the communist ?

Douglas Wilson, chairman of Kerry's Arizona campaign, and Daniel Ortega Jr., a delegate from Phoenix, said this week's events are intended to maximize that vote. Ortega is among the about 100 delegates who've been selected to sit behind the speakers' platform every night.
