MY SAY: THE STRETCH OF AMERICAN TOLERANCE

There is a lot in the media and the blogosphere about radicals in the Obama administration. Fair enough. What about John Kerry? Why is Mayor De Blasio’s radical past known by just about everyone, but so little is made of Kerry’s unforgivable past? And, the latter enjoys an appointment which is far more powerful than a one term stint in Gracie Mansion.

On April 22, 1971, John Kerry testified to a Senate committee chaired by Senator j.w. Fulbright, with Senators Symington, Pell, Aiken, Case and Javits present,  that “…war crimes committed in Southeast Asia [were] not isolated incidents but crimes committed on a day-to-day basis with the full awareness of officers at all levels of command,” he said that the average American soldier who fought in Vietnam was a war criminal.  He went on to quote the “testimony” of others” “They told the stories at times they had personally raped, cut off ears, cut off heads, taped wires from portable telephones to human genitals and turned up the power, cut off limbs,blown up bodies, randomly shot at civilians, razed villages in fashion reminiscent of Genghis Khan, shot cattle and dogs for fun, poisoned food stocks, and generally ravaged the countryside of South Vietnam in addition to3 the normal ravage of war, and the normal and very particular ravaging which is done by the applied bombing power of this country.”

That was a blood libel against America and its Armed Forces. Nonetheless, the cad was elected to the Senate and at the Democratic Convention in 2004, this slanderer of America, became the candidate for the White House and unless one knew of his libels and dubious and challenged claims about his medals ( the Silver Star, Bronze Star, and three Purple Hearts) one would have thought that a latter day Audie Murphy was the candidate.

When he succeeded Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State, the media which goes ballistic if a conservative legislator calls a woman a “girl” gave him a pass. Now he is absolutely free to consort with international tyrants and gratify them by bullying Israel.
