John Kerry adviser accuses Vietnam veterans of war crimes
Addison Ross
John Kerry's spokesman on veterans issues, John Hurley announced on Fox News Sunday August 22 that John Kerry was right when he accused US troops of committing atrocities against civilians "on a day-to-day basis with the full awareness of officers at all levels of command."
Why would Hurley continue to repeat John Kerry's malicious slanders knowing that they had been completely discredited? Furthermore, why is the media trying to give credibility to the views of this John Kerry spokesman on veterans issues even though he has been exposed as a calculating liar? Well, I don't think I need repeat that question.
Lying seems to be second nature to Hurley because on Monday August 16 he appeared on MSNBC's 'Scarborough Country' where he falsely stated that that the Washington Times had called Unfit for Command a pack of lies. The following Wednesday the Times published a scathing denunciation of Hurley's own lies.
Like John Kerry, on his return from Vietnam Hurley, now a Boston Lawyer, also accused US troops of being war criminals. Among those he condemned was the engineering battalion with which he served.
Tom Perdue, who served in the same battalion, was so outraged by Hurley's lies that he tracked him down and confronted him with his own slanders. Hurley was forced to admit that he had slandered his comrades. Yet this liar refused to correct the public record. Nevertheless he now has the nerve to go on Fox News to repeat the same vicious slanders in order to protect John Kerry.
They don't get any more despicable than Hurley.
But why would Hurley and John Kerry continue to slander US troops? Hurley helped set up the pro-Hanoi VVAW (Vietnam Veterans Against the War). In this he had the support not only of Jane Fonda but also the CPUSA (Communist Party of the United States of America) along with the Black Panthers and various other domestic terror groups. None of these unsavory links deterred John Kerry from joining and then becoming a full-time organizer. So much for his patriotism and integrity.
So it was certainly no coincidence that the policy statements and political demands of the VVAW, which John Kerry supported, were identical to those of the CPUSA, which in turn took both its funding and its marching orders from the Kremlin.
Now John Kerry was once asked whether the group's communist links bothered him. Certainly not, was his response. According to his political logic getting rid of pro-Hanoi activists and other communist sympathizers would have the effect of "seriously dividing and weakening the movement, and making it less effective."
VVAW is still with us. A mere two weeks after the Twin Towers atrocity it had the gall to publicly announce that the "use of massive military power will only escalate the cycle of violence, spreading more death and destruction to more innocent people with no end in sight. ... We see many parallels between Vietnam and Afghanistan." It went on to say that America really had it coming.
A couple of years later these America-haters called on Americans to oppose the "war on terrorism". It then equated the Patriotic Act, which Kerry and most of his fellow Dems voted for, with terrorism disguised as "public safety".
Considering that both Hurley and John Kerry refused to denounce the VVAW's post-9/11 statements it would appear that they are still in agreement with this anti-American organisation.
Hurley's anti-American activities must have greatly impressed Rep. Robert Drinan of Massachusetts, a member of the Congressional Black Caucus, because he put Hurley on his campaign staff. Drinan was also a vocal supporter of the murderous Fidel Castro. (Leftwingers like Drinan have no trouble with child-killers so long as they are socialist dictators). He also supported the Chile Committee for Human Rights, a Soviet front organization set up by a Stasi agent.
Drinan, like John Kerry, was an avid supporter of Central American Soviet-backed Marxist-Leninist thugs, as was Hurley. Is there a pattern here? I damn well think so.
And now we have the disgusting Hurley doing the bidding of John Kerry by once again sliming war heroes.
