In reply to the discussion: Anyone remember Sen. Kerry's 1988 report "Drugs, Law Enforcement and Foreign Policy" [View all]Sekhmets Daughter
(7,515 posts)7. How better to silence your critics than to label them as CTists?
I don't buy into most CTs...but Parry is not a CT nut...
One thing that came across 'loud and clear' in this book is that these coverups would not have worked without the compliance of the Dems in congress. Only Kerry stood tall...no wonder they worked so hard to defeat his presidential run. I almost laughed when I read how the newly sworn in Clinton administration went along with burying the the investigation...How did the rethugs thank Clinton...they impeached him! Dems never seem to learn.

Yes, because corporate media would NEVER allow the public discussion of Kerry's actual legacy.

But they'll constantly book the doddering sore loser McCain and his half-wit running mate.

It's ironic that Reagan "just couldn't say no" to the Contras and their cocaine smuggling.
