I know it's a Drudge report, but it is an actual book that is coming out. The Kerry camp is claiming the vets are being financed by some rich Texan. My question is: what's the difference between this book and Moore's movie? I'm not sure how he financed his movie but I'm guessing it was from anti-Bush people. So what's the difference? ANTI-KERRY VETS GATHER FOR ASSAULT; BOOK CLAIMS KERRY WAR 'FABRICATIONS' **Exclusive** A veterans group seeking to deeply discredit Democrat John Kerry's military service will charge in the new bombshell book UNFIT FOR COMMAND: Two of John Kerry's three Purple Heart decorations resulted from self-inflicted wounds, not suffered under enemy fire. All three of Kerry's Purple Hearts were for minor injuries, not requiring a single hour of hospitalization. A "fanny wound" was the highlight of Kerry's much touted "no man left behind" Bronze Star. Kerry turned the tragic death of a father and small child in a Vietnamese fishing boat into an act of "heroism" by filing a false report on the incident. Kerry entered an abandoned Vietnamese village and slaughtered the domestic animals owned by the civilians and burned down their homes with his Zippo lighter. Kerry's reckless behavior convinced his colleagues that he had to go -- becoming the only Swift Boat veteran to serve only four months. The Kerry campaign is planning to vigorously counter the charges and will accuse the veteran's groups of being well-financed by a top Bush donor from Texas, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned. "They hired a ******* private investigator to dig up trash!" charged a top Kerry adviser traveling with the senator late Tuesday. "This is pay for play, and the dirtiest of all dirty tricks ever played on a candidate for the presidency. How low can they go?" Kerry supporters are comparing the effort by the veterans to the Arkansas State troopers tell-all against Bill Clinton. UNFIT FOR COMMAND will not be released until August 15. The names. The details. All on the record.
You know, it never ceases to amaze me how people who support a draft dodger can sit there and throw stones at a veteran. Even if every damn award and story is fabricated.. it still beats being undeservedly ushered into the TANG and then going AWOL.
Too bad only one, if any, of these men actually served with Kerry on his boat, and their accounts, 35 years afterward don't match with their contemporaneous accounts. (flipfloppers? ) http://www.snopes.com/politics/kerry/swift.asp This entire line of argument is a disgrace to the Republican party. Have you no sense of decency sir? Apparently not.
John O'Neill has been bashing Kerry for 30 years. Click the link below to learn more about him. http://www.disinfopedia.org/wiki.phtml?title=John_E._O'Neill
no more haiku. For now. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . . I will instead go with the trustworthy Iambic Pentameter found in a Shakespearean Sonnet. Drudge tells me that Kerry got a bronze star But Snopes tells me it was silver instead That these two sites differ is not bizarre What is is what Teresa Kerry said. Silver? Bronze? Both admirable medals. Our nation does not pass them out freely. I will take him at his word and settle On, “Kerry served his country ideally.” Back to that creature that is Heinz-Kerry She seems less human to me every day And that “Shove it!” quote? Man that is scary! Are sure you want her leading the way? If we learned one thing From President Bill Wives can be a pesk on Capitol Hill
Knowing how split the country is down political lines you could take any group of Americans (Vietnam Vets being one of them) and find people on any side of an issue. You can find a group of Catholics who support abortion (that doesn't mean Catholics as a whole support abortion). The found a bunch of Vets against Kerry -- that's not surprising. There are also many Vets supporting Kerry (they went to a room full of them during the convention).
Kerry still has 3 purple hearts and such, but I wonder about the merits if there is any conclusiveness to the self-inflicted wounds, the repugnant behavior, the minor injuries which falsely summized earning the purple hearts (Every veteran had "minor injuries" back then)... This is a very damaging book for this rich liberal with sad, depressing eyes...I can't wait to buy it on August 15th!...
Whether haiku or pentameter your post is quite listless, so I will step up and be the first to diss this. Your support of the Drudge is humorous to all, and bringing Teresa up again shows unbelievable gall. Silver or Bronze star something Bush never had, same with George Sr. his tired old dad. Now it is time to put this simple rhyme to rest, hopefully Yao Ming will read it and be duly impressed. underoverup 2004
Yup. It's not just the outrageous allegations that get me, it's the feigned outrage when Democrats criticize the administration. "DEMOCRATS ARE SO NEGATIVE. HEY, DID YOU HEAR CLINTON HAD A BUNCH OF PEOPLE KILLED? HE ALSO RAPED A BUNCH OF WOMEN AND THAT COWARD KERRY FAKED HIS INJURIES IN THE WAR." "Well, at least he served" "DEMOCRATS ARE SO NEGATIVE!!!!!" It's infuriating.
Just when you think they can't sink any lower or get any more desperate they pull out the rally posts.
Let's say that even if those disgusting allegations were true, he was still over in Vietnam rather than over a tray of coke.
