Quietly Kerry caught lying

Posted on 08/25/2004 5:45:48 AM PDT by slowhand520

John Kerry has admitted two claims made by the Swifties already. That he wasn't in Cambodia and that the first Purple Heart "might have been" self inflicted. You would think the left wing media mafia would be all over this. It seems like the only true reporter has been Major Garett. Kind of frustrating.

Why would you think this?

Kerry also now says he is proud of his anti-War activities. Which is odd, considering he's trying to sue anyone else who expresses an opinion on the matter.

Also, Kerry is calling POWs who took torture in the Hanoi Hilton "petty and pathetic". So I guess he flip flopped on that whole "don't trash veterans" thing.

The left-wing media is Kerry's biggest 527.

I think Michael Moore is the biggest 527, but the liberal media is a close second.

I think it should read "quietly, and repeatedly", but that's just me...

A new four-legged angle — actually a dog named "VC" — has suddenly materialized surrounding Sen. John Kerry's swift boat service in Vietnam.
In a 2004 presidential candidate questionnaire for Humane USA, Mr. Kerry was asked whether any pets have had an impact on his life.
"I have always had pets in my life, and there are a few that I remember very fondly," Mr. Kerry replied. "When I was serving on a Swift Boat in Vietnam, my crewmates and I had a dog we called VC.
"One day as our Swift Boat was heading up a river, a mine exploded hard under our boat," he continued. "After picking ourselves up, we discovered VC was MIA (missing in action). Several minutes of frantic search followed, after which we thought we'd lost him. We were relieved when another boat called asking if we were missing a dog."
Said Mr. Kerry: "It turns out VC was catapulted from the deck of our boat and landed, confused but unhurt, on the deck of another boat in our patrol."

His boat never hit a mine, dog never got catapaulted. Another Lie.

Was that a "shot" at John McCain do you think?

"Dogapult? Help me out here."

The dogapult episode supposed occured when kerry's boat hit a mine (or speedbump, or something) and catapulted his adopted dog, VC, into a nearby boat (although there were really never any other boats nearby, if you believe kerry's minions).

Anyway, Fox and Friends or some other morning show called him on that. kerry's boat was never hit by a mine.

Thanks for the fill-in.

I thought the people on the swift boats never saw anybody on other swift boats. How could the dog land on another boat since there were never any other boats near Kerry's boat?

(I'm being facetious)

If te media tries to take that as truth, they now have to admit that the boats patrolled so closely that a dog could be blow, UNHARMED, from one boat to another.

Pretty much sinks the "They weren't on the boat" mantra.

The media has an agenda and the truth shall not get in it's way.

The only commandment the media knows!

If you look closely in the upper right corner, you can just see the dog, "VC", flying through the air.

He meant "don't trash veterans who kiss his powdered @$$".
