Kerry: Honored by Communist Vietnamese as Anti-war Activist who Helped them win the Vietnam War.

From Vietnam Vets For The Truth

I know the leaders of VVFTT. This is for real. Also see their site . This is the group organizing the big Sept. 12 Vietnam Vets demonstration on the capitol steps.
Communist Vietnamese Honor John Kerry, the War Protestor, as a Hero in the Communist Victory over the United States in the Vietnam War.

In the Vietnamese Communist War Remnants Museum (formerly known as the "War Crimes Museum") in Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), a photograph of John Kerry hangs in a room dedicated to the anti-war activists who helped the Vietnamese Communists win the Vietnam War. The photograph shows then-Massachusetts Lieutenant Governor Kerry being greeted by the General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam, Comrade Do Muoi.

Jeffrey M. Epstein of Vietnam Vets for the Truth acquired the photograph over the Memorial Day weekend as America was commemorating its military heroes. Epstein's organization, Vietnam Vets for the Truth, had issued a general request last week for photographs documenting Kerry's activities on behalf of the enemy. Bob Shirley, a Vietnam Swift Boat veteran (www.pcf45.com), sent the photograph to Epstein in response to that call. Shirley recently joined over 200 other Swift Boat veterans in signing an open letter questioning Kerry's fitness to serve as Commander-in-Chief.

Photograph of John Kerry meeting with Comrade Do Muoi, General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam, in Vietnam, July 15-18, 1993. Photo taken in the War Remnants Museum (formerly the "War Crimes Museum") in Saigon in May 2004.

Jeff Epstein explains the importance of the photograph:

"This photograph's unquestionable significance lies in its placement in the American protestors' section of the War Crimes Museum in Saigon. The Vietnamese communists clearly recognize John Kerry's contributions to their victory. This find can be compared to the discovery of a painting of Neville Chamberlain hanging in a place of honor in Hitler's Eagle's Nest in 1945."

Photographer Bill Lupetti, who is currently visiting Vietnam, took the photographs in Saigon during his recent visit there. Lupetti, a former Hospital Corpsman, is also a Swift Boat veteran.

Below the photograph of John Kerry are explanatory placards in English, French, Vietnamese, and Chinese. The English placard reads:

"Mr. Do Muoi, Secretary General of the Vietnamese Communist Party met with Congressman and Veterans Delegation in Vietnam (July 15-18, 1993)."

Senator Kerry may argue today that his anti-war protests did not render support to the enemy in time of war and that his activities did not violate the definition of treason given in Article III, Section 3, of the US Constitution. This exhibit paying tribute to Kerry in the War Protestors Hall of the War Remnants Museum in Ho Chi Minh City tells a very different story. The Vietnamese communists clearly feel that the American anti-war protestors were a very important force in undermining support in the United States for American war efforts, a force that contributed materially to ultimate communist victory in 1975.

On Fox News' Hannity and Colmes show on Friday, May 28, 2004, Rear Admiral Roy Hoffman (USN, Retired) accused John Kerry of being a traitor because of his anti-war activities. This photo, which demonstrates the extent to which the Vietnamese communists acknowledge that he supported them during the Vietnam War, corroborates this charge. (Hoffman, the former commander of the Swift Boat force and one-time Kerry's superior officer, is Chairman of Swift Boat Veterans for the Truth (SwiftVets.com).

Vietnam Vets for the Truth (KerryLied.com) was established for the sole purpose of organizing a rally pointing up Kerry's lies during the so-called "Winter Soldier" hearings in the US Senate in 1971. The rally, appropriately called "Kerry Lied," will be held on Capitol Hill on September 12th.

Bastard. Rat bastard. How many people were killed by this traitor's self-serving treachery?

How about that. Another foreign endorsement for Kerry. What will Bush do about this.

Bush doesn't have to do anything, from the looks of it. Kerry's doing it all on his own.

Actually, 'x', once again it is your logic that has failed.

This is the type of event that REALLY bugs me. Criticizing that War then travelling with a delegation to the battleground 25yrs. later in 1993, why him?, why couldn't he pass up the trip considering his past opinion?

It doesn't matter to me that the US normalized relations with Vietnam in 1995 under ClintonLied.com and that the Vietnamese are offering non-combat support in Iraq because at the time, the 60's, the NVA were aligned with the USSR in the proxy war against us.

If jihad-johnny didn't respect America's position in NAM he could have went to Canada or Mexico or got a deferment and been a Rhodes Scholar like his philandering hero WJC or kept his mouth shut like his other philandering hero JFK.

If this guy gets elected it would be "Tax and Spend and Back to the UN", NO MORE TAX CUTS! Plus the gloves would go back on and US Troops, plus Intel., would have all kinds of battle restrictions and end up with targets on their back everywhere, everyday.

Nam proved it, that War was "Won and Done" but the lll produced a virtual civil war at home and gave it away, thanks to the lib media.

The lll think they have some divine right to this country as if they built it. We'd still be a British colony if it was left to the left!

Leave it to the lefty, socialist, commie-pinko, tree-hugging, abortion-loving, union-loving, gay-marriage loving, probably islam loving, high gas price loving, immoral sex loving, pot-smoking crackpots like Kerry, to ruin all the hard work and sacrifice and progress!

Note: call doctor, need anti-depressants. Yeesh!

Could Kerry be stupid enought to acknowledge this honor?

Kerry might not be a traitor, but his actions were traitorous.

Oops, got into here by accident. I thought the title was:

Kerry: Honored by Communist Vietnamese as Anti-Christ...

"Kerry might not be a traitor, but his actions were traitorous."

He who makes traitorous actions is by definition a traitor.

See here for a new story on Kerry''s and VVAW's coordination with the enemy during the war.
