'Stolen Honor' And New Ad By Swift Boat Veterans

You will constantly hear the media and Kerry claim that nobody from the Swift Boat Veterans For Truth served on Kerry's patrol boat during the war. That all the people who served with Kerry endorse him, and these Vietnam Vets running ads against him are people that weren't with him in combat. That is a lie. In fact, Steve Gardner, a member of the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, served on one of Kerry's patrol boats during the war. He claims to have spent more time on his boat than anybody else.

To dispel this lie the Swift Boat Veterans For Truth have come out with another ad.

The Swift Boat Vets For Truth also consists of 17 of the 23 officers who served with Kerry, most of his chain of command, and most sailors. In fact, even by pure numbers the Swift Boat Veterans For Truth win. Kerry could only produce 14 Vietnam Veterans supporting him for Presidency. The Swift Boat Vets For Truth have 254 Vietnam Veterans that say Kerry is a fraud. It would be a lot harder to get 254 Veterans to falsify their statements than to get 14 to falsify their statements.

Maybe now we can get the media to actually investigate their claims? I won't hold my breath.

'Stolen Honor'

“Stolen Honor” investigates how John Kerry’s actions during the Vietnam era impacted the treatment of American soldiers and POWs. Using John Kerry’s own words, the documentary juxtaposes John Kerry’s actions with the words of veterans who were still in Vietnam when John Kerry was leading the anti-war movement.


A documentary about John Kerry's Vietnam era that is to be released soon. Some clips can be found here.

Update: Another article dispelling some of the myths behind John Kerry's Vietnam record and his purple hearts. The article was written by a Vietnam Vet that was a surgeon in the war. He is also calling for Kerry to release his military record, if he has nothing to hide.

John Kerry And Gay Marriage

With the recent resignation of Democrat New Jersey governor, announcing his homosexual affair , and the recent California Supreme Court decision voiding homosexual certificates I thought it a good time to discuss Presidential Candidate John Kerry's view on homosexual marriage. A few months ago there was a bill going through the senate that would have created a constitutional ammendment defining marriage as only between a man and a women. Kerry used the states right argument to argue against it. Arguing that we should let the states decide instead of forcing at the federal level. That's odd he would use that argument because when a bill came through the senate pushed through by Bill Clinton, called the Defense of Marriage Act, arguing for the exact same thing, Kerry voted against it . A bill that was passed with 85% of the senate voting in favor of it, with both Democrats and Republicans voting for it. However Kerry, being the extreme liberal that he is, voted against it. In c...

The Importance Of Kerry's Cambodia Claim

Image
As I have posted on this blog before , The Swift Boat Vets against Kerry have already caught Kerry in at least one lie; the claim that he was in Cambodia on Christmas of 1968. Joshua Muravchik, writing in the Washington Post explains why that lie is so significant, he writes , After his discharge, Kerry became the leader of Vietnam Veterans Against the War (VVAW). Once, he presented to Congress the accounts by his VVAW comrades of having "personally raped, cut off ears, cut off heads, taped wires . . . to human genitals . . . razed villages in a fashion reminiscent of Genghis Khan . . . poisoned foodstocks." Later it was shown that many of the stories on which Kerry based this testimony were false, some told by impostors who had stolen the identities of real GIs, but Kerry himself was not implicated in the fraud. And his own over-the-top generalization that such "crimes [were] committed on a day-to-day basis with the full awareness of officers at all levels of command...

Do The Markets Prefer Kerry Or Bush?

Eric Engen has an interesting article explaining how the markets react inversely to the Kerry Presidency. The article states, The accompanying chart plots the trading price of futures contracts for Sen. Kerry's share of votes along with the value of the S&P 500 composite index since March 3, the day after the Super Tuesday primaries. When the expected vote share rises and thus the implied probability of Sen. Kerry winning the election increases, the S&P 500 index tends to decline sharply. The pattern is consistent and significant. Given the negative response of the stock market index to increases in his electoral prospects, this suggests that a Kerry victory, or its inevitability in the run-up to the election, could cause a significant stock market decline. The correlation is apparent even when the lackluster response to Sen. Kerry and the Democratic convention depressed the value of the Kerry futures contract, and the stock market simultaneously rallied. The stock market...
