Yesterday I pointed out in Implosion 101 that this had turned the corner and Kerry's counter attack was a failed arrogant argument.
Drudge has these updates along with an amazing story about Kerry's outreach call to a Swiftie.
FLASH: 'SWIFT BOAT VETERANS FOR TRUTH' RAISED $1,764,000 IN DONATIONS ON WEBSITE IN PAST 2 WEEKS, SOURCES TELL DRUDGE...
Kerry's campaign now says is possible first Purple Heart was awarded for unintentional self-inflicted wound...
The call lasted 10 minutes, sources tell DRUDGE.
KERRY: "Why are all these swift boat guys opposed to me?"
BRANT: "You should know what you said when you came back, the impact it had on the young sailors and how it was disrespectful of our guys that were killed over there."
[Brant had two men killed in battle.]
KERRY: "When we dedicated swift boat one in '92, I said to all the swift guys that I wasn't talking about the swifties, I was talking about all the rest of the veterans."
Kerry then asked if he could meet Brant ["You were one of the best"] -- man to man -- face to face.
Brant declined the invite, explaining that Kerry was obviously not prepared to correct the record on exactly what happened during Vietnam and what happened when Kerry came back.
The arrogance in his statements proves that he just doesn't get it at all. It shows only that he feels that he can say and do anything because he is elite! The Dem's have never understood the meaning of "Providing aid and comfort to the enemy."
DKK
First Purple Heart -- self-inflicted -- 9 days before Kerry saw combat (fraudulent)
Second Purple Heart -- self-inflicted -- blew up a rice supply, got rice in his butt, no enemy fire at the time(?). Pulled Jim Rassman out of the water later that day, also with no enemy fire(?) but claimed injury at that time?
Third Purple Heart -- ???
Silver Star -- with fraudulent V -- for shooting wounded man in the back
Bronze Star -- Pulled Jim Rassman out of the water after he fell off a boat (because Kerry panicked and fled when a mine exploded). No enemy fire at the time.
Didn't Frank Burns injure himself with his own sidearm and put himself in for a purple heart? I think he shot himself in the foot or something?
This Kerry loser has violated the professional liar rule. That being that you never mix lies with true factual events. The truth only later slips you up in your lies.(Bill Clinton, Year of the Rat)
