Twelve More Questions for John Kerry

This time, from John Hawkins at Right Wing News, Feb. 13 (embedded ellipses in original):

.... However, if Kerry is going to try to tell Americans they can trust him as commander and chief based on what he did in the Vietnam era, I think he has a responsibility to answer some tough questions about his protesting days. If one is relevant, the other certainly is as well. Here are some questions I'd like to hear Kerry asked — and these are just for starters...

1) Did you and Jane Fonda once speak at a protest from the back of the same truck?

2) How much money did Jane Fonda give to Vietnam Veterans Against the War while you were leading the group?

3) When was the last time you spoke to Jane Fonda?

4) How many times would you estimate that you and Jane Fonda spoke at the same anti-war rallies?

5) Did you ever march in a rally where the flags of the Viet Cong were being flown?

6) Did you ever march at a rally where Communist groups were present during the Vietnam war?

7) When Vietnam Veterans Against the War was under your leadership, did some of its members wear "pro-communist graffitti" on their uniforms while they protested?

8) It has been said that Vietnam Veterans Against the War encouraged soldiers to desert during the war. Is that true?

9) Why did you allow people to believe that you threw your medals away for so long?

10) How does it make you feel to know that the Vietnamese read prisoners clippings about your group, Vietnam Veterans Against the War, in an attempt to break their will?

11) You once said, "War crimes in Vietnam are the rule, not the exception." Do you still stand by that statement?

12) You once said, "To attempt to justify the loss of one American life in Vietnam, Cambodia or Laos by linking such loss to the preservation of freedom... is to us the height of criminal hypocrisy." Do you stand by that quote?...
