Kerry's Viet Nam Testimony On Democracy Now

[K8-EEE]

OK first of all I've already read AND READ AND READ AND READ everybody who's all pissed at Kerry about IWR and other stuff but I just wanted to ask if anybody heard his testimony from 1971 that they played on Dem Now this morning. It actually brought tears to my eyes! I thought it was AWESOME!! This is the same speech that the Hannitys of the world keep quoting (out of context) about US atrocities....I think the speech was beautiful and very compassionate toward both the Vietnamese AND the US GI's.

I believe you can listen in on democracynow.com. Check it out if you can, it was really very moving.

You know what, regardless of any mistakes or misjudgements he made later (and I'm still voting for Edwards in the CA primary) it would be nice to have somebody capable of complex thought and analysis, after these last disastrous Bush years!!

3. I've heard part of the tapes - It's great stuff

If there RW thinks the tapes will hurt him it won't. Let's see, in his mid 20's Kerry was an articulate young man who believed in something and TESTIFIED before congress about it - GEE what was George doing at the same time?

4. I'm listening right now

It is so haunting.
