Senator Kerry has stood up against swiftboaters and for Democrats time and again. It's about telling the truth to the American people, something that should unite us all.
It's time to end the politics of swiftboating.

3. Did you watch the video?
Did you see the clips of him doing what you claim he did not?
Standing up for the truth always counts.

4. Watch the video, for God's sake.
JK was there, on top of this stuff from beginning to end. But he was sabotaged by the shallow and lazy MSM, and, I'm most sorry to say, the anemic "support" (not) of the Clinton/DLC wing of the Democratic party. We all share the blame for Kerry's "loss" (not) in 2004. In 2004, we as a country chose to vote out of fear and short-term thinking. And we paid the price.

Now, thankfully, our country seems to be ready for change. It's about 27 years too late, but I'm glad that finally, we're there.(Or most of this). Not a moment too soon.

I'm proud to see John Kerry firmly, loudly, on the side of change.

2. Excellent, thanks.
Yeah. Time to end the swiftboating, time to tell the truth. And high time, also, to recognize, and thank, Sen. Kerry, for the gutsy leader, and patriot, that he is.

6. Outstanding!
You've laid it all out here, all the pertinent proof that John Kerry has NEVER flinched from doing what's right, from standing up proudly for the truth. No one who actually watches this video can ever again believe the lies that Kerry didn't fight the smears in 2004 and anyone who watches this video will know exactly how strong, passionate and steadfast a champion the Democratic Party and the United States of America have in him.

From Vietnam to BCCI, from Iraq to Obama, John Kerry has ALWAYS spoken the truth loud and clear to everyone who would listen.

Time to start listening, everybody!

Thank you, Globalvillage, for this incredibly well-assembled collection of clips. This answers all the lies and I hope everyone who sees it tells everyone they know to watch it, too.

As John Kerry himself said in a recent email:
We need you to email the truth to your address books. Print it out and post it at work. Talk to your neighbors. Call your local radio station. Write a letter to the editor. If lies can be spread virally, let's prove to the cynics that the truth can be every bit as persuasive as it is powerful.


Let's get out there and SPREAD THE TRUTH VIRALLY!!!

7. That was excellent.
At that time, I could not get over how a group, so pro-military, would believe the military gave so many medals to someone who didn't deserve them. Now I understand they don't think.

13. Thanks Wily Wondr
For reminding us just how much the GOP hates our Veterans and their desecration of a sacred symbol of heroism. While seeing those pictures sicken me as the wife and daughter of combat Veterans, but we must never let the GOP live this down. They are a shameful, disgusting, hateful, vicious bunch and they have done so much to hurt so many and ruin our great country. Those pictures sum it all up.

Thank-you, again.

20. OMG, those band aids were awful and the Repub party and the press allowed this to continue w/o
criticism. What a slap in the face of veterans from all wars.

12. John Kerry won the...
election, but not everyone in Ohio got to vote for him. I wish he had fought for that election.

14. The truth is a great value that Kerry and Obama share. It was
great to see Obama emphasize the truth in his speech tonight.
