spoken like a true fascist.

On April 23, 1971, Hanoi John offered testimony to the US Senate denouncing our brave soldiers then fighting in Vietnam a bunch of rapists, murderers and war criminals that enjoyed torturing innocent civilians. Reciting the then-popular Communist propaganda line, he testified that US troops had "personally raped [Vietnamese civilians], cut off ears, cut off heads, taped wires from portable telephone to human genitals and turned up the power, cut off limbs, blown up bodies, randomly shot at civilians, razed villages in a fashion reminiscent of Genghis Khan."

Kerry later admitted he hadn't personally witnessed any of the atrocities he claimed his fellow soldiers had perpetrated. He also testified that there was no Communist threat and that the US was no better than the Communists that it was fighting.

As a national leader of VVAW, Kerry campaigned against the effort of the United States to contain the spread of Communism…Under Kerry's leadership, VVAW members mocked the uniform of United States soldiers by wearing tattered fatigues marked with pro-communist graffiti. They dishonored America by marching in demonstrations under the flag of the Viet Cong enemy."

According to Stephen Sherman, a former Army officer and Vietnam veteran writing in the January 26th edition of The Wall Street Journal, "Many veterans believe these protests led to more American deaths, and to the enslavement of the people on whose behalf the protests were ostensibly being undertaken." Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) revealed that his North Vietnamese captors had used reports of Kerry-led protests to taunt him and his fellow prisoners. Retired General George S. Patton III angrily noted that Kerry's actions had "given aid and comfort to the enemy."

What's more, when Kerry served as Chairman of the Senate POW-MIA subcommittee in the early 1990's, he did his utmost to discredit all evidence indicating that US POW-MIAs had indeed survived the war and remained in Vietnam in his quest to reward the Communist butchers in Hanoi with MFN trade status, all the while blocking any legislation requiring Hanoi to adhere to basic human rights. His actions in this regard along with those of co-conspirators former President Bill Clinton and Senator John McCain (R-AZ) amounted to a virtual sentence of death for our brave soldiers still being held prisoner in Communist Vietnam.

Kerry, far from being a war hero, has a long history of being an anti-war, anti-American radical and traitor to his country as evidenced by his organizing militant anti-war rallies along with his Communist party (CPUSA) allies funded by "Hanoi Jane" Fonda. Kerry helped lead and organize a rally of hundreds of Vietnam vets who marched on the Capitol Mall in Washington with many displaying the Communist clenched fist salute. According to the December 12, 1971 edition of the Boston Herald Traveler, he marched alongside "revolutionary Communists" with "placards plainly bearing legends in support of China, Cuba, the USSR, North Korea and the Hanoi government". The Communist newspaper, the Daily Worker, delightedly published photos of Hanoi John speaking to demonstrators and boasted that the marchers displayed a banner depicting a portrait of Communist Party leader Angela Davis, who is on record as stating, "I am dedicated to the overthrow of your system of government and your society."
