Is Gardner saying that he was approached by someone offering him large sums of money to support Kerry? If so, who was it?
If the others received $1 Million, surely the briber tried to bribe Garner, too.
He WAS approached. I think that Pete said it was Hurley?......not sure, but you can certainly find out directly by emailing Steve at the email address given in the article that I posted earlier (above). Just ask Steve who approached him........same guy who then threatened him. Nice people those Kerryites.

Gardner told this story and others to radio stations and he wrote a piece for the local paper. Then, he says, he received a phone call from John Hurley, the veterans organizer for Kerry's campaign. Hurley, Gardner says, asked him to come out for Kerry. He told Hurley to leave him alone and that he'd never be for Kerry. It was then Gardner says, he was threatened with, "You better watch your step. We can look into your finances." Next, Gardner said he received a call from Douglas Brinkley, the author of Tour of Duty: John Kerry and the Vietnam War. Brinkley told Gardner he was calling only to "fact check" the book -- which was already in print. "I told him that the guy in the book is not the same guy I served with. I told him Kerry was a coward.
