The Book Kerry Doesn’t Want You To See:

When Kerry ran for election to the U.S. House of Representative in 1972, “he found it necessary to suppress reproduction of the cover picture appearing on his own book, 'The New Soldier'. His political opponent pointed out that it depicted several unkempt youths crudely handling an American flag to mock the famous photo of the U.S. Marines at Iwo Jima,” according to Vietnam Veterans Against John Kerry.

The book, "The New Soldier," has rumors abounding of Kerry's political operatives scrambling to locate and suppress stray copies during Kerry's House campaign in 1972. Copies now sell on Ebay for upwards of $500. In the following website, are presented overviews of the book, along with most of the text and selected photographs. Much of the text consists of John Kerry's testimony before the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations on April 22, 1971, and quotes from other members of the VVAW taken from the Winter Soldier testimony.

It is absolutely frightening that this nation can even consider running a candiate as far left, radical, and anti-war as John Kerry. He will lead to the destruction of America if elected. Read the excerpts from this book.

Why is it so hard for you to believe that someone who saw the worst that humanity has to offer would be against war? As such, what is wrong with that? I can understand if some silver-spooned hippie who never saw the horrors of war started preaching and speaking the way Kerry did, but this guy saw the evil that is war and apparently it changed him. If anyone has a right to speak out against such things, it's a man who has seen them first hand. Or are you just so blatently partisan that it doesn't matter?

He will lead to the destruction of America if elected. Fellow liberals:

Remember this quote.

Never forget that the other side are idiots.

Not to mention lying sacks of fecal matter. Wonder why the site he linked to, when it posted parts of Kerry's testimony, didn't provide enough for context? Hmmm.

Once again, here's the whole thing.

This book you mention by Mister John Kerry (pbuh) is not listed on amazon as far as I can tell so doesnt exist. If it does exist, I assure you that the typeface is perfect and matches that of the best typewriters of the day. If you cannot find a link proving the existence of the book, you will be under the boot of the TOS. Thank you.

Someone who would say something like "John Kerry will destroy America," though, is an idiot.

Liar.

Everyone knows that John Kerry hand wrote all of his books in the 70s.

ITN's the kind of guy who was probably cheering during the Omaha Beach scene of Saving Private Ryan.

Weren't you? Godless communist! Just Joking!

I don't question Kerry's loyalty during the war, as most Vet's will not. What they question, as do I, is Kerry's loyalty after!

Actually, that statement is fair enough. :eek: Kerry really should have been prepared to hit this one out of the park.

We already knew that about the person who said it.
