The old wounds
Invaluable C-SPAN will air the rancorous "Winter Soldier" testimony that John Kerry delivered to the U.S. Senate in 1971, tonight starting at 8:05 (ET). The most recent ad from the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth will be aired immediately beforehand at 8:01 (ET).
C-SPAN has also posted the full transcript of Kerry's 1971 statements.
As noted earlier, former POWs are launching StolenHonor.com to protest John Kerry's anti-war activities. The site is now up, and Blogs of War has the latest developments, along with links to numerous other grassroots anti-Kerry groups that are forming.
Innumerable Vietnam veterans, including many who served with John Kerry, are still bitter about his conduct. The same is true for many refugees from the Communist hellhole of a conquered Vietnam. The old wounds are still raw underneath, and John Kerry ripped them open when he delivered his smarmy "Reporting for duty" salute at the Democratic Convention.
