Kerry testimony on C-Span. This should be shown on networks!!!
DEVASTATING!!! Kerry's eloquence and his statements could easily apply to the Bush regime today. This is a must see for anyone who has seen the Swift ads and have any doubts about Kerry and the allegations against him for "selling out his fellow soldiers." Kerry deserves another medal for this testimony. Please watch it if it going to shown again. Tape if for you children's history lesson.

THANK YOU C-SPAN!!!!

1. Yes, I've stated the same for a long time now...
Additionally, he was only REPEATING what had already been presented before congress by other military members.

11. Amazing how similar Viet Nam and Iraq have become
People who just want to live and work and be left alone.

Allies who are supposed to support us (Iraqi police) refusing to fight their own people.

A lying administration lying about reasons, the costs, and number of dead.

US military doing more damage to the country than the enemy.

Healthcare system that turns its back on returning soldiers.

Lt. Callie and Mai Lai = Abu Ghraib (Kerry even said that Callie was accountable for his own actions but he was not responsible...the leaders and our war-glorifying culture)

3. The exchange and questions following the testimony are just as great.
Please, please try to view this and call or e-mail C-Span to see if they would air this program again. He even lays the responsiblity of Calley on the lying administration.

4. The mere fact it hasn't tells you all you need to know about media.
They are simply not interested in the truth.

5. Who in their right mind could criticize Kerry for this testimony and his
responses to the questions from the committee.

7. A lady just called John Kerry a coward
I doubt she considers Bush and Cheney cowards.

14. Heard that
Also called him a communist and a traitor. I guess it's too much to ask for some people to have common sense.

8. C-SPAN Republican Callers Are SCARY!
It gives you a great idea of just how uninformed, or misinformed rather, the majority of Bush supporters are.

Every single caller who supported bush was throwing out disproven "facts" and just blatant lies. Where do these people get their information?

Can people REALLY be this stupid?

12. I listened to his testimony and it is obvious he was criticizing
the Nixon Administration and the military and not the veterans. But, what difference does it make how many people will ever watch it? If you could tie up and gag every veteran and make them watch it probably most would agree with Kerry. But lets face it how many people watch C-Span in comparison to Faux or Flush Limbaugh.
