Swift Boat Vets Should 'Shut Up,' Says Kerry Spokesman
EFL - only the more unconventional statements by various Kerry supporters included:[...] Del Sandusky, one of Kerry's naval crewmates: "Sure I can understand it -- right. But it doesn't matter if John Kerry made that [1971 speech] or not, they (the POWs) were still going to be tortured. They were prisoners of war." [...] Former Democratic presidential candidate General Wesley Clark said Kerry's anti-war activism in the 1970s was designed to "help" U.S. soldiers serving in Vietnam and revealed the candidate's "moral courage." "He was trying to help the men and women in the United States Army and help the United States by having the courage to go and testify in front of Congress," Clark said. "So I can understand why people might have misunderstood John Kerry at the time. But that was 30 years ago," he added. [...] "I agree with John Kerry 35 years ago. I agree with him now, and those of us band of brothers out there have been traveling around this country [supporting Kerry] for a long time," Cleland added. Posted by: Super Hose 2004-10-01 |
