I called the Rock Hill Evening Herald (SC) yesterday to give them a heads-up on this story since it was about Gardner, who lives in nearby Clover, SC.

Within the hour, I received an email from a reporter there saying that a reporter had been assigned to cover the story, so perhaps there will be more revelations from a local interviewer.

Interesting coincidence (?), isn't it, that "within hours" he lost his job? I hope there will be something of this slant in the upcoming interview.

Before this is over Gardner is going to be labled as the biggest scumbag ever to put on a uniform.

[Dahoser]

Contrast what is happening around Gardner with the reverance W's AWOL accusers were accorded. Still way too much media bias out there.

[Arrowhead1952]

Got to get these stories into the media. Problem is, the media is kerry's protective vest.

Gardner better be ready for the Dem. anal probe.
Truth does not go over well these days with the Dems.

[Tom D.]

I expect that there is one way to find out whether it is Gardner or the other 9 guys who is telling the truth: Look at Kerry's military records.

All Kerry has to do is consent to the release of those records. Of course then we will find out that two of Kerry's purple hearts came from hangnails and the third was a result a stumped toe.

It's too weird. The libs are trying too hard to have a public fight with this guy and the usual approach would be for them to ignore someone who is critical of Kerry.

[Mr. Bird]

Brinkley then wrote an article, published on the website of Time magazine Tuesday night, in which he said Gardner's criticism was politically motivated. "After interviewing Gardner for over an hour, it essentially boils down to one word: politics," Brinkley wrote. "Gardner is sickened by the idea of Kerry as president."

Ummm...is it not notable that someone who served with him is "sickened" by the idea? Brinkley is covering his a** because he wrote a hagiography and left out a legitimate dissenter. Politics? Sure, that's a component. But why did Brinkley write the stupid book? For educational purposes? Hardly.

So Mr Brinkley, the other crewmates, who have a favorable opinion of Mr Kerry's service in VN, are not politically motivated??????

And I guess that only those who oppose Kerry are 'crooks and liars?????'

IMHO, this guy Kerry and his minions sure do speak with forked tongue......

"He was a great employee, but just in this economic situation we didn't have the volume in that territory to warrant a manager in that territory," Girton said. He said Gardner did not accept an offer to work as an independent contractor.

He is lying and he knows it. The economic situation warranted a manager in that territory until he old the truth about kerry. My money says that he was never offered a chance to work as an independent contractor.

I believe that girton is a democrat and got a call from either the kerry campaign or mcauffle to fire the man.

Good for you...glad to hear his boat crew speaking out....

Now about that Silver Star....and the officer who had to have written it up and approved it

Kerry couldnt have gotten as far as he did with his lie filled career without a little help from his friends...

Scumbags....all.....

I feel sorry for any sailor who had the misfortune of having to serve under this Papa Oscar Sierra

Good men tarred with the same brush just because of their 'bad luck' of having John Forbes Kerry for a skipper....

[Gritty]

My question is, why are the 9 others so enthusiastic about Kerry? Or are they?

[cricket]

. . .has his appearance on Larry King been announced yet; his interview with Katie? Surely an appearance on 'Night Line' and C-span is being arranged.

Could someone post a picture of Mr. Gardner or if the photo in post therr is a picture of him, could someone enlarge it for me?

Thanks!
