I sent a request to C SPAN to replay the original press conference from May of this year. With all the current attention this has gotten I thought it would be good to see this in its entirety.

This would also add reference and context to Kerry's testimony before congress representing the VVAW.

I would like to urge anyone here that would like to join me in this request to email C SPAN at viewer@c-span.org

Also if anyone has a link or copy of the broadcast maybe you could post it here...

If you have Real Player or (my preference) Real Alternative installed on your computer, you can see the original press conference via streaming video:

Thank you so much for posting this. I just got done watching the entire press conference. I hope anyone who has not taken the time to hear this directly will do so. It was very moving and heart felt.

Please spread the word and send the link to those you know.

I am also writing letters to my congresional representatives

Just watched CSpan. It was another attempt by the libertal media to sanitize the truth by its selective editing.

I would say that it was unbelievable, but I know that the media will not let the truth be known.

I am heart sick at how Stalinist the US Media has become.

We are the choir. What hope does the average American have?

noc,
I'm sorry you thought he was so sincere. I must disagree. As one of the callers to the show afterwards said, "no one who had only served 3-4 months had ANY business testifying before that committee!" AMEN. Did anyone notice that only one or two Swift Boat supporters were allowed to speak?

Unfortunately, Kerry might come out looking OK from the replay. Most people don't know that the peace talks had started and that the VVAW were almost entirely slimeballs. They were undermining the government at the peace talks. They'll say Kerry was right about it being a war we should not have been in (hence the peace talks, duhhh). They won't know about the millions of people that died in IndoChina after we left, though Kerry said it would be a few thousand. They won't know that Kerry had professional experience (a speechwriter who wrote for Bobby Kennedy) writing his speech, that he lied about having to hurry to get it done, that Senator Fulbright was anti-war, that Kerry had cocktails at Senator Hart's days before (Unfit for Command, p. 102) and on and on. Mad

Does everybody here know that the owner of Real Player is a big contributer to Kerry. I prefer Windows anyway.
