Michigan Democratic U.S. Senate nominee Rep. Gary Peters (D-MI) accidentally proved to the Daily Beast he lied on his campaign website and on the campaign trail about his military record as part of an effort to disprove a Breitbart News investigationand the Daily Beasts Tim Mak fell hook, line and sinker for the Peters campaigns spin despite being provided with evidence by Peters that Peters lied.
To rebut the Breitbart story, the Peters campaign provided The Daily Beast with a document signed by a commanding officer showing that the candidate qualified as a Seabee Combat Warfare Specialist on August 5, 1998, Mak wrote, referencing a nearly 4,000-word Breitbart News investigative article published Sunday evening. Peters qualified as an expert on the M16A1 in 1993 and the .38 revolver in 1995. He qualified as sharpshooter on the M1911A1-45 ACP handgun in 1994.
Interestingly, however, the documents that Mak was provided by Peters campaign prove that Peters and his campaign spokeswoman Haley Morris lied to local mediaand that Peters lied on his campaign website.

I guess you have never been to some bars in Dubai...
Those can be war zones!!!
The dimoKKKRATS are so used to making things up and getting away with it, it comes as 2nd nature.
Has he thrown his medals and ribbons over the White House fence yet?
I agree that if you served with the Seabees you can call yourself a Seabee. I was in the Seabees and gunners mates and boatswains mates, etc. were all considered Seabees if they were assigned to our units, trained with us and went on deployment with us. But 30 days as a reservist with no Seabee training and working in supply does not qualify him as a Seabee.
But the claim that he learned to build bridges while getting shot at during his 30 day deployment in Dubai (as a supply officer) is laughable.
+1. I always liked him. Knew Chuck Barris back in the old days. What a nut!
Maybe he was with Hillary?
you should have been with me and Hillary when we got off that plane in wherever!
Yep. I don’t understand why people lie like that. Especially someone who’s running for office. I guess ‘cause they get away with it. Clinton got away with lying about the National Guard. Kerry got away with claiming to be a hero.
Exactly!
WOW you dodged the bullets at Baghdad airport with Hillary?
Why I don’t believe you???
(do you're own DD!)....*G*
I was just going by my 70 year old memory.
However, the exact location is not important,
the lies are what is important.

No he didn’t — he merely shilled for Peters like it’s his effin’ job. Nothing new about partisan media shills, particularly at the Daily Beast.
