The facts re Kerry's 1971 testimony to congress re smears

This is the government's report transcript of the complete 1971 statement by John Kerry that scared President Richard Nixon so much that he ordered the smear and destruction of John Kerry's reputation. The anti-Kerry Swift Boat smearers resulted from Nixon's order. They have charged Kerry with lies about his service when, in fact, they hate him for his anti-war activities after he was discharged. They have twisted his testimony to insinuate incorrectly as what Kerry said he saw in Vietnam when, in fact, he was merely reporting the experiences testimony of others as told to him. The anti-Kerry Swiftboaters are trying to kill the messenger and destroy his presidential aspirations because he reported what other Vietnam veterans had reported.

I urge everyone to read the complete Congressional Committee hearing transcript, because it covers more broadly in the Q & A session all of the Veteran's opinions as presented by John Kerry in response to questions from the committee members - very enlightening - and to help you understand and analyse the expected attacks by Bush's Swiftboater smearers. The second step of the smear campaign has already started. The Q & A following Kerry's statement is very important information the Media has largely ignored.

If the public could read what John Kerry actually said instead of the distorted spinning by Bush's smearers, it could make a big difference.
