Vet: Kerry Pressured Me to Lie About Atrocities

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.


Pitkin had been a key participant in John Kerry’s infamous “Winter Soldier” hearings of the same year, which concluded that the U.S. military was allegedly engaging in war crimes against the Vietnamese.

These days, Pitkin appears in the controversial anti-Kerry documentary “Stolen Honor: Wounds That Never Heal.” The film features a clip of Pitkin from another documentary film, "Winter Soldier."

Michael Moore has been running around the country for months showing his anti-Bush film. But when a local theater in Pennsylvania tried to show the new film "Stolen Honor: Wounds That Never Heal," the Kerry campaign and lawyers friendly to it caused the theater owner to stop its showing. Editor's Note: Get your copy of "Stolen Honor" and find out why John Kerry is afraid you and millions of Americans will see it – also find out how to help "Stolen Honor" – Click Here Now. "Stolen Honor” was to have been shown Tuesday night at a local theater in Jenkintown, Pa., near Philadelphia. The documentary features 17 POWs who say Kerry's anti-war actions in the early 1970s prolonged the war and their captivity. Apparently, the Kerry campaign sent out an urgent e-mail last week to supporters asking them to protest the showing. After being threatened with litigation, the theater owner decided not to show the film. Local Philadelphia radio station 1210 WPHT 1210-AM had been sponsoring the event. "Former Swiftees and POWs were to be given the red carpet treatment, the whole nine yards," wrote Chronwatch.com in an e-mail it posted to its site. "They just announced - within the hour - that the premier here is cancelled because the theater was threatened with litigation. Is this what free speech will look like under a Kerry administration if he gets elected?" Chronwatch asked. Maybe. We hear that Carlton Sherwood, the producer of "Stolen Honor,” showed up outside the theater last night to hand out DVD copies of his film. Pro-Kerry protesters also showed up and started to get physical. Police were called to quiet their protest. Sherwood's Red, White and Blue Productions is considering a lawsuit against the Kerry-Edwards campaign for improperly interfering in the showing of the film.

Yeah, Democratic legal maneuvering is really pissing me off. Block films? Block ads? Block Nader from the ballot? Um, we are still a FREE REPUBLIC, aren't we, Democrats? Why don't you let the people decide instead of the judges?

Yeah I know, thankfully in some states in which they have tried to block Nader the judge is extending the deadline for Absentee Ballots. That means the military will not be disenfranchised this time, hopefully.

Well, when it's scathing lies that are within these ads and films then of course it should be taken to court. As for Nader, he's been involved in many illegal actions in trying to get his name on the ballot from the Republicans helping him out to the bogus names in his petitions. As for the people deciding, when they're lied to it can come across as truth in their eyes. Only few of us are fact checkers.

What we really need is a committee that checks out all political media and fines or censors the slander.

Since you presumably number yourself among the fact-checkers, let's see some fact supporting your rather outrageous claim that Nader is breaking the law in his quest to get on ballots....
