The movie "Stolen Honor" shows the truth about John Kerry's character but the Democrats are doing all they can to prevent showing it on TV.
Here is part of the story:

They are not "personal" things. It is a matter of character. John Kerry is the one who keeps emphasizing his service in Vietnam. The truth is, he became a traitor when he returned to the States and lied about his fellow servicemen. Because of those lies, our American POWs suffered torture and death. Because of his lies, the North Vietnamese Communists praised Kerry for helping them defeat the Americans.Cheri said:
Michael Moore was allowed to show Fahrenheit 9/11; why can't the veterans show Stolen Honor?

Kerry NEVER said he saw them. He testified what he heard from other veterans about the atrocities committed against human beings. Atrocities DID OCCUR and that's a fact, not opinion. My friend served in that war and told me he has executed several people. He said that he doesn't care about the atrocities because in his view, it was war and it was expected.
Kerry spoke against the war and that's his freedom. Many people back then didn't like the war either so someone had to speak up and say it's enough. Since Kerry SERVED in that war, he HAS the right to speak against it. Doesn't mean he's turning his back on veterans. On the contrary, he fully believes every veteran should be taken care of.

People PAY to watch Moore's film. Stolen Honor is being broadcasted for free - big difference. That's where the controversy is.

I vote for Kerry because he doesn't allow his own beliefs to be crammed on others, which Bush is quite good at. He personally thinks abortion is wrong but defends a woman's right to have one. I happen to agree. He personally opposes gay marriage but opposes the idea of adding an amendment to the Consitutition. I agree. He believes in God but wouldn't impose his religion on others, like Bush is with faith based initiatives. I agree. I am an agnostic but I consider religion very important for many people.
As for Iraq war, I've opposed the war from the beginning. The pretext for the war was that Saddam was a threat and has tons of WMD. After a year and half, the threat has been determeined to be exaggerated by several independent committees.
We need to improve our relations with the rest of the world. We've become one of the most hated nations and that's not good. We need to set a good role model for them. Bush does absolutely nothing to heal those wounds. Kerry wants to improve relations. Anti-Kerry people say that voting for Kerry is voting for terrorists and that's hocus pocus. It's a scare tactic. We will continue to fight against terrorism (and terrorism has been around since the humankind - nothing new).
Conservatives are fond of saying that liberals are bad but it was liberals that gave you the freedom of speech. It was liberals that gave you the freedom of religion. It was liberals that gave you civil rights. It was liberals that help protect you from pollutions. It was liberals that gave social programs to the needy. It was liberals that gave you better consumer choices. It was liberals that gave you fair trial. I could go on and on. Liberalism is what makes us free.
And you know what? Bush is telling you that it's bad to vote for a liberal senator!

Vet: Kerry Pressured Me to Lie About Atrocitiesnetrox said:

"Vietnam veteran Steve Pitkin claims that John Kerry pressured him to lie in 1971 when he claimed U.S. soldiers engaged in atrocities during the Vietnam War...."

Also, Kerry himself said that he shot a young Vietnamese man in the back and killed him. Why was that statement never investigated?
I have also known Vietnam veterans and POWs. I was on active duty during the Vietnam war, and I worked with many returning veterans. Atrocities are never acceptable or "expected" as part of war by professional American soldiers. If soldiers commit atrocities, they should be punished by court martial.
Speaking against the war is one thing. Supporting the enemy while our men are prisoners is totally different. Kerry actually went to Paris to meet with the Communist Vietnamese enemy leaders. That is not just "speaking" against the war.
Thanks to the things Kerry said, Vietnam veterans returned home from war and people spat on them and called them "baby killers".
The only reason Kerry spoke against the war was because he saw an opportunity for himself to become famous and important. He didn't care about the American soldiers dying.
Then why did he vote against funding for the military? They can't be "taken care of" without money.
Why not? You (and anyone else) CAN run for President if you're against abortion! We need a President who can outlaw abortion!^Angel^ said:And
I believe abortion is wrong too, so that means I could never run for a president....

If Michael Moore want to be immature let him that doesn't mean everyone have to follow. Things in the Past should be kept private and I never cared what Bill Clinton did to women like Moncia for example so what! Why do people make a big deal out of it? It doesn't effect me at all, what effect me the most is how America is running.
