Kerry has a "Walter Mitty" complex doesn't he?

[kellynla]

"Hero?" I think "Traitor" is more accurate! Semper Fi, Kelly

J-Frog Kerry: "the ones I threw were symbolic.

Right-o. Symbolic of a man withour character and as phony as a "Rolex" watch sold on a midtown sidewalk.

Hannity just wouldn't give it up either today. He had a Viet Nam vet on that represented Veterans opposed to Kerry.

This gentleman kept trying to explain to Sean why Kerry is not a hero. Hannity kept interrupting him, and would not hear it. He persisted in proclaiming Kerry a war hero, no matter what this fellow tried to explain.

I finally turned the radio off.

Mark posts as his "Letter of the Week" his pick of the litter of all e-mails to him in the last seven days. I was honored about a month ago to have my letter to him chosen for that honor, and in the course of my note I let him know that he has an avid fan club and an active ping list, here on FreeRepublic.

Top of the proverbial iceberg.

Kerry wanted his Vietnam service in the forefront: and he's getting his way. Sort of.

Thank you so much for posting this "Letter". This should be passed around so those who are not familiar with the medals and how they are awarded can get some perspective.

Kerry makes me sick and I still have 8 months to listen to his deceptive pie hole until Bush beats his butt!!! I'm sure the next thing he will claim is that he saved a church full of nuns or a bus load of children.
What a freak show!!

[thegreatbeast]

Not to denigrate the the service of anyone particularly but it was known that there was also a great deal of medal and award "inflation" during the Vietnam era. I believe that this is the case with Kerry. And I think Kerry's decision to go to Vietnam was every bit as cynically contemplated as Clinton's avoidance. Both were done with "political viability" foremost in mind.

[exit82]

I want to see his Silver star citation. Supposedly he wrote it himself.

America needs to see this pompus grandstander for who he really is.

[per loin]

A full congressional investigation into the alledged war crimes of John Kerry should be immediately conducted.

[PISANO]

Everytime I hear John 'EFFING' Kerry's name mentioned I think of "STOLEN VALOR". He is a fraud and a traitor and I am sick of his garbage!! You will NEVER hear a real HERO talk about HIMSELF at the drop of a hat. He is sickening to the extreme.

Bump.

Whatever "service" Kerry rendered in Vietnam, he made himself a Traitor in return.

Just ask General Giap.

[The Wizard]

YES very tired of the over use of the term

[CROSSHIGHWAYMAN]

Clinton and Kerry are both egotistical, self-promoting slobs.

One is good at eating heros and the other has only met them.

[JOE43270]

Sgt. Major Komac, Gunnery Sargeant Carlos Hathcock, Commander Richard Marcinko, LtCol. Oliver North, and many others are my HEROS. mr. kerry dosen't even come close.

[MinuteGal]

I almost lost it today. In fact I did. I was SCREAMING at Hannity "SHUT UP, SHUT UP!

He was not only fawning over Kerry's Viet Nam stint with repetitious, fawning, sophomoric cliches, but he wouldn't let his guest, a REAL Nam hero, talk at all.

I didn't turn his program off, I yanked the cord right out of the wall.

Sean was sickening today. He may be our guy, but he's got a lot to learn before he gets to be as astute as Rush.

"I would like to see that picture of him with the VC Flag behind him..."

The picture is photoshopped but, what the heck, it's symbolic, right?
