Could you elaborate please.
Did Michele write a new article or was she on Hardball?
>> He hasn't been subjected to this kind of heat. And as willie brown is suggesting, if he can't stand the heat from his fellow veterans, do we really want to trust him to stand up to islamic extremists? By the way, it's not just these right wingers who have been questioning his record. The "boston globe" isn't, aren't operatives of the bush campaign and they have said the same thing as the veterans did about all three incidents. You were hammering larry thurlow about specific name. >> He volunteered twice in vietnam. He literally got shot. There's no question about any of those things. So what else is there to discuss? How much he got shot? How deep? How much shrapnel? >> Well, yeah. Why don't people ask him more specific questions a the shrapnel in his leg. They are legitimate questions about whether or not it was a self-inflicted wound. >> What do you mean? >> Are you saying he shot himself on purpose? Is that what you're saying? >> Did you read the book -- >> I'm asking a simple question. >> I'm saying some of these soldiers. >> And I'm asking a simple question. >> I'm answering it. Some of the soldiers have made allegations that these were self-inflicted wounds. >> No one has ever accused him of shooting himself on purpose. That these were self-inflicted wounds. >> Are you saying he shot himself on purpose? >> I'm saying that I've read the book. >> I'm saying I read the book. >> I want an answer yes or no. >> Some of the veterans say -- >>Yes. Some of them say that. >> Tell me where that is. >> Self-inflicted wounds. In february, 1969. >> Are you accusing hill of shooting himself on purpose to avoid combat? >> I'm saying that's what some of these -- >> Give me a name. >> Patrick runian and william zeldonaz. >> These people -- >> And they said he shot himself on purpose to avoid combat or take credit for a wound? >> These people have cast a lot of doubt on whether or not -- >> That's cast a lot of doubt. That's complete nonsense. >> Did you read the section in the book -- >> I want a segment from you on this program that you believe he shot himself to get credit for a purpose of heart. >> I'm not sure. I'm saying -- >> Why did you say? >> I'm talking about what's in the book. >> Is there a direct accusation in any book you've ever read in your life that says john kerry ever shot himself on purpose? >> On. >> On purpose? Yes or no, michelle. >> In the february 1969 event. >> Did he say on it purpose. >> There are doubts about whether or not it was intense rifle fire or not. And I wish you would ask these questions of john kerry instead of me. >> I have never heard anyone say he shot himself on purpose. Have you tried ask john kerry these questions? >> If he shot himself on purpose. No. I have not asked him that. >> Don't you wonder? >> No, i don'T. It's never occurred to me. Still ahead, david gergen and dana millbank. . |
