Just Who Tarnished What?
The following is a release put out by the ACT Press Department this afternoon.
Yesterday, presidential puppet-master Karl Rove said that John Kerry “tarnished” the record of those who served in Vietnam when he engaged in anti-war activities upon his return from active duty in that war.
The truth: John Kerry had the guts to volunteer to fight the war, AND the guts to come home to protest an unjust, misguided war.
The truth: George Bush and Dick Cheney had the guts to do neither.
John Kerry was leading men into battle and picking shrapnel out of his butt – then fighting Dick Nixon’s thugs and henchmen back home - while George Bush was stateside, being young and irresponsible, letting daddy pull strings to keep him safely out of harm’s way. And Dick Cheney was fighting for five deferments and racking up DUI’s in Wyoming (his “other priorities”– link)
Here’s just a taste of the contrast:
December 1967: Kerry assigned to guided-missile frigate USS Gridley
Fall of 1967: Bush quoted in the New York Times defending the branding of fraternity pledges with a hot coat hanger, saying the resulting wounds resembled “only a cigarette burn.”
