Much of what we know about recent history exists in our own selective memories. Whether it has been shaped in part by the latest TV docudrama, or a full-blown cinematic production, things we know and commonly accept as true and verified comes from the research of then-current reports, as well as the reflective power of our own perspective. The reporting of current events leads inexorably to the commonly accepted version of events in history texts, true and accurate, or not. Throw in a dash of PC revisionism, and you have a recipe for the distortion of historical events of cartoonish proportions.
In a recent court deposition involving one of John Kerry’s fellow VVAW leaders, Kenneth Campbell, one of the first things he disclosed challenges the very heart and soul of the Vietnam anti-war movement past and present, as well as forty years of reporting by the mainstream media which was sympathetic to that movement then, and remains so to this day.
Campbell disclosed that the pre-trial deposition was the first time he had actually been put under oath in over 35 years of “testifying” about Vietnam “war crimes.” Neither he nor any of his fellow “war criminals” – Kerry included – had ever been sworn in at any hearings, not before the Senate, the House of Representatives, or anywhere.*
The recurring question that remains is simply, were Kerry and his fellow VVAW’s actually the Genghis Khan baby killers that they professed to be, or were they simply over-zealous liars.
All of the so-called “testimony” the mainstream media has trumpeted for nearly four decades — graphic, sickening and grisly “testimony” about savage atrocities committed by Vietnam veterans, “testimony” to which Congress and the media gave so much weight and credibility — wasn’t “testimony” at all! Just speeches told without limitation or fear of consequences, least of all penalties for perjury.*
For those who want to defend John Kerry’s “botched joke”, and simply cannot understand the visceral reaction to latest perceived anti-military swipe, to have your world-view challenged is discomforting. I am not trying to make you defensive. I am not writing these words to you at all. It’s not about you.
It is about the hundreds of thousands of men whose honorable service to our nation has been dishonored, and to this day, feel much left out of the mainstream of society, because of the version of history that they know in their heart, and from their experience is a vicious lie. To you, I say, “Gentlemen, it has been a long time coming. Well done. Thank you for your service, and most of all, Welcome Home.”

Yep. They don’t get it. It’s just perpetuation of an elitist stereotype that never was. He characterizes the military as being overwhelmingly underprivileged, and urban. Wrong as usual.
Oh, and I almost forgot the undereducated part. I guess the people that see Islamic fascists free to attack the United States that haven’t gotten their desire to protect their country out of their system are indeed undereducated. Perhaps they should all be sent on a reindocrination seminar in the ivory league colleges.
Dang botched jokes. This is what happens when you cannot see what you are typing! Ivory tower colleges.
[...] Update: “Reporting For Duty”… The Kerry Apology [...]
I think Kerry believes he is so smart (a C student) that he skipped ahead of what his speech writer wrote and meant what he said. He believes the militry is made up of uneducated, dumb poor “youths.”
Kerry knows he can just say the opposite the next day and all is forgotten/forgiven. Wink-wink, the liberals know he meant what he said.
O gosh, nuke..your last paragraph brought tears to my eyes…Semper Fi.
Heard this story on the Laura Ingraham show earlier.

Be sure and check out the name of the Al Aqsa members first name…you can’t make this stuff up!
Oh…and Nasrallah, who is not Allah, sends his greeting to all Democrats.

Pelosi War Blunder
http://www.washingtontimes.com/op-ed/20061101-091538-2187r.htm
Excellent op-ed by Congressman Jack Kingston!
ROFL! Dang, I missed that one on Pelosi. It does not surprise me in the least, of course, because liberals are always big on what everybody else should do (pay fair wages, etc.) but they are not really keen on spending their own cash.
Hey Swampie!
Just about to take a siesta, and make one more post.
Thanks to you and Kathy for playing whack-a-troll this a.m.
Since you are here, here is a new video the RNC should be running.
Democrats Underestimate The Threat

I’m not surprised at Pelosi’s seeming lack of understanding about the WOT. They try to prevent it from being fought. Apparently they think that pacifism in the face of intransigence is a good strategy and ignoring it will make it go away. (See France.)
Well, they’d be all hot and bothered about their patriotism being questioned again. We already know about their patriotism but apparently they have no sense of self-preservation, either.
That, and she is completely undoable.
Came across something last night, if I can remember which site, after I’m a bit more lucid, I will link it. It seems that Senator Gigolo proposed an Iraq cut and run plan in the Senate last year, that would have the U.S. military out of Iraq by the end of 2007. It was defeated 86-13. Two days later, Al Qaida in Iraq issued a demand that we be out of Iraq a year beyond ol’Lurch’s date. (?) The jihadis want us to stay in Iraq longer than Senator Gigolo. LOL!
I wish nuke could find the post his spam filter is snacking on, it pertains to what you are saying in #14.
Here’s a tease.
From Nasrallah(not allah).

And, I better get back to work so I can go assist the ol’ man who has appealed to me. He, uh, has a gazebo he’s prefabricating in the class; I asked him a simple question….”how you gonna get it up that tree-lined narrow driveway there, Slick?” Now I gotta go help put it together in sections. Should have been quiet.
No…you should never have called him ‘Slick.’
The jihadis are more in touch with reality than either senator from Massachusetts.
Well, I thought “slick” might be somewhat less offensive than “bubba”. (I thought wrong.)
Afternoon y’all.
Just got back from another day of exploiting the masses.
I love capitalism.
n2l, got your comment de-spammed.
angel, thank you for those kind words.
Swamps, slick is better than “Einstein”
Nuke, did you see the video up at #9?
/henh
not yet. I’m trying to get caught up on my reading before I get to the chuckles.
Okay then.
But…pace yourself.
I must take my leave, and won’t be back until much later.
Got a thing with some folks to go to.
Onward Through The Fog!
Durned allergy eyes. I thought N2L said “onward through the frog”. Dang sick people, gotta get back to work. Later.
