The most important fact to remember about Hard-Left Liberals is that, for them, truth is relative - a mere tool to be used to garner any advantage over a political foe. Recent claims regarding President Bush’s National Guard service over 30-years ago, seem to be based on documents recently “found” which purport to bolster accusations of Bush’s poor service and performance.
...It was an amazing blunder on the part of these Kerry Kool-Aid drinkers to trot out phony documents that were supposed to damage the reputation of President Bush, but CBS News took the bait. This selective reliance on “documents” when the biased mainstream media wants to attack President Bush will have just the opposite effect – we know where there are real documents about Senator John Kerry and we need to see them. I hope a drumbeat begins now that will force the Senator to release the real stuff.
On my desk are copies of FBI documents – not forgeries – that label Kerry’s group, Vietnam Veterans Against the War or VVAW, as the national security risk that it really was.
The title of these documents is “New Left – IS.” To FBI agents serving at that time, we knew this to mean that a pro-Communist group known as “The New Left” was considered an internal security threat to this nation. The New Left was known to have adopted a Marxist ideology, and Senator John Kerry was a leader of this group.
The FBI no longer uses the label “IS.” They have converted all such investigations to a more accurate name: Domestic Terrorism. Call it what you like; then and now, these are serious matters – criminal investigations which could have resulted in hard time in a federal pen. The Bush critics like to talk about his D.W.I., but while our president was acting frisky as a typical college student, young Mr. Kerry was under FBI surveillance.
If he knows what’s good for him politically, Senator Kerry will move on and stop talking about what happened thirty years ago. Otherwise, growing numbers will insist he sign the release forms which would reveal to everyone whose side he was on when he returned from Vietnam. Senator Kerry, all you have to do is release your files – especially those FBI files.
