Some of my favorite quotes from that:
Quote: | At the fund-raiser [in Philadelphia], Kerry defended his anti-war activism as "an act of conscience."
"You can judge my character, incidentally, by that," Kerry said. "Because when the time for moral crisis existed in this country, I wasn't taking care of myself, I was taking care of public policy. I was taking care of things that made a difference to the life of this nation. You may not have agreed with me, but I stood up and was counted and that's the kind of president I'm going to be." |
Not if I can help it.
Quote: | From a John Kerry speech commemorating Martin Luther King Day, Jan. 20, 2003:
Quote: | I remember well April 1968--I was serving in Vietnam--a place of violence--when the news reports brought home to me and my crewmates the violence back home--and the tragic news that one of the bullets flying that terrible spring took the life of that unabashedly maladjusted citizen. |
In fact, Kerry did not go to Vietnam until November 1968. |
