Excerpt:

Kerry was (and remains) an effective spokesperson for his Leftist
cadre. His anti-war protest period culminated with his 1971
congressional testimony, after which he told the press, "There are all
kinds of atrocities and I would have to say that, yes, yes, I committed
the same kind of atrocities as thousands of other soldiers have
committed in that I took part in shootings in free-fire zones. I
conducted harassment and interdiction fire. I used 50-caliber machine
guns, which we were granted and ordered to use, which were our only
weapon against people. I took part in search-and-destroy missions, in
the burning of villages. All of this is contrary to the laws of warfare.
All of this is contrary to the Geneva Conventions...."

Regarding the substance -- and source -- of Kerry's claims, Ion Mihai
Pacepa, the highest-ranking intelligence officer ever to defect from the
Soviet bloc, says "KGB priority number one at that time was to damage
American power, judgment, and credibility. ... As a spy chief and a
general in the former Soviet satellite of Romania, I produced the very
same vitriol Kerry repeated to the U.S. Congress almost word for word
and planted it in leftist movements. KGB chairman Yuri Andropov managed
our anti-Vietnam War operation. He often bragged about having damaged
the U.S. foreign-policy consensus, poisoned domestic debate in the U.S.,
and built a credibility gap between America and European public opinion
through our disinformation operations. Vietnam was, he once told me,
'our most significant success'."

As for the success of Kerry's anti-democracy protests and his leadership
of the VVAW and association with Fonda's Winter Soldier Investigation,
General Vo Nguyen Giap, Vietnam's most decorated military leader, wrote
in retrospect that if not for the disunity created by such stateside
protesters, Hanoi would have ultimately surrendered.

I say:

Boat people thrown out of their own homes and left to wander the high seas. Stacks of skulls in Cambodia. Thanks, Kerry.

Bitterness, lies and jealousy is all that's Left anymore. This monster that was born in the Terror of the French Revolution was dealt a mortal blow with the fall of the Soviet empire. Every positive idea your crowd ever stood for either has been discredited or shown to be insincere. You're doing your best to stave off the inevitable, and to do as much harm as you can on your way out. We the sane will not forget these past two centuries. And we the sane will write the history books.

Your lies have power. I admit that. But truth has staying power.
