Kerry Caught in Whopper Trying to Get the Cuban Vote
John Kerry doesn’t just flip-flop in his desperate attempt to be all things to all voters; he even makes things up. In an article Sunday in the Miami Herald that an alert reader just sent us, the soft-on-communism Washington waffler, pandering for the prized Cuban-American vote in crucial Florida, claimed: "I’m pretty tough on Castro, because I think he’s running one of the last vestiges of a Stalinist secret police government in the world."

The Herald reported:
"Then, reaching back eight years to one of the more significant efforts to toughen sanctions on the communist island, Kerry volunteered: ’And I voted for the Helms-Burton legislation to be tough on companies that deal with him.’ ...
"There is only one problem: Kerry voted against it," the newspaper noted.

Video Shows Kerry Conducting ’War Crimes’ Interviews
A 1971 videotape shows Sen. John Kerry taking an active roll at the infamous Winter Soldier Investigation by personally grilling Vietnam vets about alleged war crimes they committed. The tape, obtained by Vietnam war historian B.G. Burkett, apparently contradicts Kerry’s claim that he was a mere observer at the Winter Soldier hearings - an event bankrolled by Jane Fonda that Kerry later cited in testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations committee. "I was looking at the tape tonight," Burkett told WABC Radio’s Steve Malzberg on Tuesday. "It shows that prior to putting these people on the air, Kerry is interviewing them." According to Burkett - whose book "Stolen Valor" debunks much of the disparaging mythology perpetuated by the anti-war movement about Vietnam veterans - the tape shows Kerry rehearsing the Winter Soldier witnesses.

#11  Wow! so many comments about """"OUR"""" presumptive "democratic" or should I enlist the "excuse my "french", please note the NON capitilization", of the the "F" word!
Yes Ben, I believe the DNC must continue to support the "rag-head" supporter only because his agenda is one of surrender and "lets try and live with "suicide bombrs" in Grand Central Station rather that " EXCUSE MY FRENCH" piss them of by killing them before they kill us: Do you remember the date "9-11" I certainly do.
Yes Frank Why, and I pose this rhetorical question, just as you do and with the same, I am sure, anger and frustration, HOW COME WE, AS AMERICAM CITIZENS CANNOT GET EQUAL TIME, ON ANY VENUE, I POSE THE QUESTION: COMMUNIST OR DEATH:: THEY LIVED WITH THAT FOR OVER 75 YEARS; IS, AND BE CAREFUL BEFORE YOU ANSWER THIS QUESTION, ANY DIFFERENCE WHAT SO EVER WITH WHAT WE ARE FACING TODAY! NO WAY!!!! THE ISLAMISTS HAVE ONLY MANIPULATED, THE COMMUNIST PHILOSOPHY, INSTEAD OF A "GODDLESS" SOCIETY, TO ONE OF A SOCIETY "ie ALLAH ONLY" IS THE WAY THINGS ARE GOING TO BE::: WELL EXCUSE F%$#*&^ ME" I AM NOT NOW NOR WILL I EVER BE SUBSERVIANT TO SOME ASSH&%LO NAMED BIN ( YES HE HAS BIN- LADEN AND LADEN YES PROBABLY SCREWING EVERYTHING HE CAN GET HIS HANDS ON BEFORE WE GET OUR HANDS ON HIM....

#10  He should've been smart and just stayed the junior senator from Massachusetts who nobody cared about or paid attention to, including his constituents, of which I am one. Nobody gave a shit about John Kerry. It wasn't a bad gig. Now everything he has ever said, ever done, ever voted on is going to be right out there for the whole country to see.
By the time November rolls around this clown will make Al Gore look like Thomas Jefferson.

#9  I think Kerry only plays twister naked with Ted Kennedy, while Hillary shoots spitwads at them naked butts

#8  I think Kerry's handlers (with the help of a lot of free advertising from our unbiased media) have done a great job of attacking Bush and propping up Kerry, considering what they have to work with. However, Kerry himself looks like he's playing Twister.

#7  badanov,

you said, "You gotta feel sorry for his handlers/aids, though...."

Actually you ought to admire his handlers/aids. They probably realize what a turkey he is and look how far they brought him.

#6  For the Helms-Burton legislation Kerry seems to be having problems remembering which side he was flipped on that day.....

Its been proven that 'Winter Soldier' was a fraud. Some of the vets were never in Vietnam and some were imposters (at least the real vets whos name and record they were using say they were never there [at the hearings]... have never been to Chicago [where the hearings were held]...).

This whould seem to indicate that Kerry was 'rehearsing' the whole thing and knew that it was all a fraud. That the entire thing was a fraud and John Kerry's testimony to congress was an intentional flat-out lie.

Of course the media and the democrats will claim this is all in the past and has no bearing on the present and we need to address the 'important' issues like 'was Bush AWOL back in 71....'

Would like to see that video....

#5  You gotta feel sorry for his handlers/aids, though. When he gets ready for the day and they need to define his position on an issue to juxtapose Bush's, they won't be able to trust what the guy says now, and they will have to research his entire voting record for responses to his socialist views, and his inability to protect America.

You gotta hand it to the democrats. They have nominated someone who is totally not Bush: deceitful, petty and socialist. All features which are recursive of each other.

#4  There are SOOOO many thinks that paint JF Kerry in a bad light that I think the DNC is having buyers remorse. He can't hide from all his votes in the Senate and the Anti-war stuff forever.

#1  No it ain't. Its going to be a long noisy, nasty effort that will be a foregone conclusion by say June. It will be annoying as all hell.
