A relative trotted out his reasons for not voting for Kerry. One was that he had read a transcript of testimony by Kerry saying that he had stood by and watched American soldiers rape a woman in Vietnam. Anyone know where this transcript might be posted?

It's his 60's Congressional testimony. It's all over the net.

But where in that transcript did Kerry say "he had stood by and watched American soldiers rape a woman in Vietnam?"

Much of his Winter Soldier testimony was hearsay, concerning events he had not personally witnessed:

"I was told by..."

"I've heard reports of..."

"Other soldiers told me about..."

In fact, if you go the linked page, the exact quote is:

quote:
"They told the stories at times they had personally raped..."
He may have testified about hearing reports of Vietnamese women being raped by GIs, but I find it hard to believe he'd pull his Swift Boat to the shore so his crew could go out raping and pillaging.

Secondly, with respect to parental notification, I'm not going to require a 16-or 17-year-old kid who's been raped by her father and who's pregnant to have to notify her father. So you got to have a judicial intervention. And because they didn't have a judicial intervention where she could go somewhere and get help, I voted against it. It's never quite as simple as the president wants you to believe.

Where does he admit to raping his teenager daughter?

John Kerry never said he stood around watching while soldiers raped women in Vietnam.

John Kerry never said he raped his teenaged daughter.

You know, I aksed my dimwit cousin if he was referring to the report Kerry gave of what he heard during the Winter Soldier hearing. He insisted that no, what he had heard (on Rush perhaps?) was that Kerry had said that he witnessed a rape and stood bye and let it happen. He asked me how I could vote for a man as immoral as that.

So Phil Collins was singing about John Kerry?

As long as we're playing rumor-whores, you could've asked him how he could've voted for someone who allowed his own father and other men in black burlap robes to masturbate onto him while he lie prone in a coffin reciting his romantic history.

If you're referring to Skull and Bones, the "secret society" at Yale, John Kerry was also apparently in Skull And Bones.

When his campaign was specifically asked about Kerry's membership, their official answer was "No Comment".

OK, so, John Kerry watched soldiers rape a vietnamese girl, personally raped his daughter, and then he laid in a coffin while the Bushes and a bunch of other guys masturbated onto him.

Are we clear then?

Good.

I also here that he is unaccounted for during the BTK and Zodiac killings.

Given the quality of the evidence he's given, yes, he's wrong, at least as far as our googling skills seem to be able to deduce.

I think you ought to ask him where this transcript might be posted since he's the one who claims to have seen it.

Let me rephrase this for you, Sara:

So let me get this straight: John Kerry stood by and watched while the membership of Skull and Bones stood around masturbating while watching George Bush rape his pet goat and did nothing about it for seven minutes?
