Thomas Lipscomb, writing in The American Spectator, pretty much hammers another nail into Kerry's coffin of lies with his latest essay. Check it out. Not only is the Cambodian story not going away but, if Lipscomb has anything to say about it, neither is the 1971 Viet Nam Veterans Against the War meeting in Kansas City at which there was a secret vote on a proposed assassination of six pro-war United States Senators. Why hasn't more been asked about this story in Big Media? Because they are carrying the guy's water, that's why.
As the story developed, and was widely ignored by the major media, several things emerged that reflected favorably on Kerry's conduct at the meeting. He had argued strongly against the assassinations and prevailed in the final vote. But Kerry still denied the accounts. He stuck to the resignation story as well, even though there was clear evidence in the New York Times and other papers that Kerry had continued as a spokesman for the VVAW, making media and speaking appearances for a year and a half after his supposed resignation.
When FBI files emerged establishing Kerry's presence in Kansas City, the campaign conceded that Kerry somehow must have forgotten his involvement in the plot to assassinate U.S. senators while still on the executive committee of the VVAW. What might have been an unforgettable experience for a man who was now a Senator himself turned out to be just one of those little memory lapses we all have.
See, if John Kerry would just come out and own up to his own bravery in voting down a plan to murder people who disagreed with him and his organization, it would help Americans understand that he really does have some principles. For instance, he would never have murdered William Fulbright. Doesn't he get some points for his self-restraint?
