“Misremembered”? What kind of nuanced crap is THAT? In my world, we call it what it is - “BULLSHIT”!

What a fraud.

“Great war heroes of the left ... John “Killer” Kerry, Tom “Ace” Harkin and Brian “Crash” Williams.
All served in the Stolen Valor division.”

Now there’s a movie someone should make! It could be absolutely hilarious! Just don’t forget Hillary and a special cameo by Michael Moron! Come on Clint Eastwood - this could be even bigger than American Sniper! American Pikers or perhaps Saving Private Betrayus.

"I would not have chosen to make this mistake."

Another example of the obfuscation these slippery snakes employ while they inflict their ideas on an unwilling people of common decency.

It's simply SOP for today's employees of the MSM. We must judge solely by his intent. In this case he merely intended to project the image of the many front-line, real journalists who earned public appreciation during W.W.II. We must reject our ugly MSMphobia and be kind and understanding . . . .

And I posted elsewhere about how Al Gore misremembered during a presidential debate how he flew over a Texas flood disaster in a helicopter with George Bush, until he was reminded the next day that it never happened.

Misremembers? What a crock! He can’t bring himself to just call it what it is—a damn bold face lie. And he’s nothing more than a damn liar.

ALL those on the left have no truth in them. Many who occupy the right have no truth in them and should get on the correct side of the aisle.

This guy is so accustomed to lying that he has been able to sleep well and gaze in the mirror each morning to part his hair without remorse after having fabricated and broadcast as history, a fantasy experience for his memoirs.

It was NBC that rigged explosives in a Ford pickup truck to fabricate a video to implicate Ford in building a dangerous product.

Liberals lie. It’s their nature, since reality doesn’t in any way resemble what they think it ought to be they lie - about everything.

WE CAN ADD AL GORE TO THE PUNCH BOWL OF DISHONEST TURDS. THE DELUSIONAL MINDS OF THE LEFT HAVE THIS DESPERATE NEED TO PUFF THEMSELVES UP WITH MADE-UP HEROICS.

Gore claimed in his convention speech: ‘I enlisted in the Army because I knew if I didn’t go, someone else in the small town of Carthage, Tennessee would have to go in my place.’ Since he wasn’t KIA or wounded, how was it that his Army tour was far shorter than all the rest of us?”

Our astute veteran readers took the bait! Gore’s campaign launched a multimillion-dollar ad campaign this week to tell his “life story.” The ads will include references to his service” in Vietnam-however brief. Gore spent less than five months of a typical twelve-month tour in Vietnam. He spent every minute of his “tour” as a “rear-echelon ...” (call any combat veteran and they can complete that phrase for you). He was classified as a military journalist after telling recruiters he was a “newspaper trainee” (read “copy boy”) for the New York Times while a student at Harvard.

He was assigned as a noncombatant “information specialist” to the Army’s 20th Engineers Brigade headquarters at Bien Hoa military base near Saigon. Gore’s immediate supervisor in Vietnam has confirmed that his posting there came with explicit instructions to baby-sit him and make sure he was never in any danger. That fact notwithstanding, Gore has claimed to the Washington Post that he was “shot at” and “spent most of my time in the field.” He later told the Baltimore Sun that “[I] pulled my turn on the perimeter at night and walked through the elephant grass and I was fired upon.” He has since backed off these exaggerated claims. On May 22, 1971, not five months into his “tour of duty,” Gore was given special dispensation and a one-way ticket home to attend divinity school in Nashville. He dropped out of Vanderbilt shortly thereafter. As for the seven months cut from Gore’s tour of duty in Vietnam, we suppose “someone else in the small town of Carthage, Tennessee” had to finish his tour “in his place.”

“misremembered”
In the dictionary of liberal doublespeak this is defined as “made it up.”

Stolen valor is unforgivable, until real courage is evident. Drop him off in Fallujah with an American flag one hand, and a rifle in the other - and tell him he will be picked up in an hour.

Just curiously, I went to FOX and there isn’t a story on the Williams melt down.

Reminds me of some of thing “misrememberings” of Sen. John Kerry during his 2004 presidential run.

His resume was so thin that he borrowed some accomplishments of former colleague Sen. Bob KerrEy and claimed them as his own.

Kerry - Kerrey. Close. I can see where he might have “misremembered” who he was. [/s]
