Another Searing Memory From Kerry |
"I remember well April 1968 -- I was serving in Vietnam -- a place of
violence -- when the news reports brought home to me and my crewmates
the violence back home -- and the tragic news that one of the bullets
flying that terrible spring took the life of that unabashedly maladjusted
citizen."
-- John Kerry, on Martin Luther King's assasination. Trouble is that Kerry
wasn't in Vietnam until November 1968.

Well, he wasn't on swift boats at that time, but he did serve on, I believe,
a destroyer, prior his swift boat experience. He could very well have been
in southeast Asia when King was murdered.

You're right.. This is Kerry's Vietnam service timeline:
http://www.johnkerry.com/about/john_kerry/service_timeline.html
Here's some more information about where Kerry was, and what he was doing at
that time.

Kerry was assigned to the USS Gridley in December 1967. The Gridley
was then deployed off the coast of Vietnam, and returned to San Diego
in April or May, 1968.

Did Rush tell you this?
http://www.boston.com/globe/nation/packages/kerry/061603.shtml
Kerry served two tours. For a relatively
uneventful six months, from December 1967 to
June 1968, he served in the electrical
department aboard the USS Gridley, a
guided-missile frigate that supported aircraft
carriers in the Gulf of Tonkin and was far
removed from combat

Eh, no. According to his record (which you can bet has been checked
with a fine tooth comb by the Republicans), he was serving on the
USS Gridley *in Vietnam* when King was shot:
http://www.johnkerry.com/about/john_kerry/service_timeline.html
In the age of the web, the only excuses for not checking your facts are
- laziness
- stupidity
- believe Rush Limbaugh is a "journalist"
- believe Ann Coulter is sane
- not particularly interested in the truth in the first place
Which is it in your case?
One wonders how Bush would remember the same thing...
"I was sitting around the Skull and Bones club at Yale. I
was pretty wasted because it looked like my plan to stay out of
Vietnam was going to work and I was celebrating. My first
reaction was 'Wow, I thought Martin Luther died, like, a long
time ago, and I never knew he was a king'. Then someone
explained it to me and I said 'Hell, we'd have taken care of
him a lot sooner in Texas.'"

You obviously haven't been anywhere near the South. The people who are
racist are racist regardless of their political affiliation. I'm on the
conservative side and I think that MLK was one of the greatest speakers of
this century who fought for what he believed in. Hate to say it but most of
the uneducated backwoods racist people down here (whether white or black)
seem to be Democrats.
Not saything that all racists are Democrats or all Democrats are racists,
just noting a trend down here in Georgia.

Much snipping

Wow! Actually DROVE through Mississippi. If you played your cards right,
you wouldn't so much as stopped for gas (I-20 is 165 miles border to border
IIRC). That's full qualification for cultural stereotyping.
By the way, the majority of MS political types are democrats (at all levels
of government). A more accurate term would be "Conservative." And most

Gene Taylor as an incumbant example. Of course there's retired "congressman

Wow! Actually DROVE through Mississippi. If you played your cards right,
you wouldn't so much as stopped for gas (I-20 is 165 miles border to border
IIRC). That's full qualification for cultural stereotyping.

We were hitchhiking from Alabama to Texas, my friend and I were in
uniform, and were picked up by a black man and his black female
friend, both from New York. They did stop for gas and an old black
man came out and pumped it. The driver asked the attendant to wash his
windshield and the attendant refused and seemed quite worried. I got
out and bought the girl a bottle of pop from a machine.. I got to the
car and got in when a good old white boy came around the corner and
started shooting at us with a pistol. He must have been in a good mood
and just firing warning shots because none of his bullets hit us.
I know that the vast majority of people in Mississippi are not like
this and I know better than to stereotype.

Earlier civil rights legislation didn't pass because the minority
Republicans sponsoring it couldn't get enough Democrats to support it. It
passed in 1964 because enough Democrats finally supported it.

Good observation. I can recall being a grade school kid when they integrated
our school system in the Virginia community I was raised in (1972); despite
much wringing of hands and moans beforehand, there were few problems, and no
violence. The biggest complaint, from both sides, instead tended to directed
more towards the foolishness of sending kids of either race so *far* from
their homes to accomplish the task. OTOH, a few short years later Boston
went through its own integration woes, and I can recall some pretty violent
events related to integration being covered in the news media up in that
"Northern bastion of equality"...
