LISTEN: Entire 1971 Kerry Anti War Speech - Foreign Relations Cmt.
Edited on Fri Jul-30-04 03:08 PM by otohara
PACIFICA RADIO IS THE ONLY NETWORK TO HAVE THE ENTIRE SPEECH - IT WAS AIRED ON TODAY'S DEMOCRACY NOW. THIS IS A MUST LISTEN PEOPLE.


Before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, the young Vietnam veteran says: "Someone has to die so that President Nixon won't be, and these are his words, "the first President to lose a war... how do you ask a man to be the last man to die in Vietnam? How do you ask a man to be the last man to die for a mistake?"

John Kerry returned from Vietnam in April 1969, having won early transfer out of the conflict because of his three Purple Hearts. He had also won a Silver Star.
When Kerry returned home, over 540,000 U.S. troops were deployed in Vietnam. Some 33,400 had been killed, and the number of protests in the U.S. was surging. Kerry gradually became active in the antiwar movement.

After working behind the scenes and making a few little-noticed appearances at rallies, he joined a group called Vietnam Veterans Against the War.

3. I e-mailed Hannity about this (I know it is a waste of time)
After his Sudan-Clinton-OBL-Ijaz story was completely shot down last week ON HIS SHOW by John Lehman and Franken blew his "Dean said Bush knew about 9/11" story if figured, why not go for the trifecta.

Kerry never said that HE raped, cut off heads, etc. he said that other soldiers TOLD him about it at the testimonies in Detroit the preceding month.
