That '70s Show

"I called the media. . . . I said, 'If I take some crippled veterans down to the White House and we chain ourselves to the gates, will we get coverage?' 'Oh, yes, we will cover that.' "--John Kerry, testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, April 22, 1971

"Kerry is sending to Crawford former Sen. Max Cleland of Georgia, a frequent companion of Kerry's on the campaign trail and a fellow Vietnam War veteran who lost three limbs during the war. Cleland . . . will try to deliver a letter protesting the [Swift Boat Veterans for Truth] ads to [President] Bush at his heavily guarded ranch, Kerry aides said."--Reuters, Aug. 25, 2004

:roll:

The fact that Max Cleland has been behind Kerry for a long time and spoke at the DNC means nothing?


What a fvcking pathetic life you must lead, JG, to come up with banal crap like this.

The point is simply this: Kerry uses disabled veterans for emotional appeal and cheap media coverage. That is the purpose of digging up this quote.
