In an interview published Friday in the LOS ANGELES TIMES, Dem presidential hopeful John Kerry claimed he "never ever implied" that he threw his own medals on the Hill in 1971 to appear as an antiwar hero -- but a new shock video shows John Kerry's saying he did!

ABC's GOOD MORNING AMERICA is set to rock the political world Monday morning with an airing of Kerry's 1971 boast, sources tell the DRUDGE REPORT.

Liar BUMP!

I wonder if Ebay will start hawking a special "John Kerry throwaway medals" set.

Why don't you suggest that to the DC chapter. They could sell them at their next "Bake Sale"!

[Quilla]

Seems as though the presumptious democratic nominee has a surgically altered chin. He should have opted for a backbone.

[Balding_Eagle]

No filter, just like real life that SOB is something we all have to put up with until he drops out.

The election is a long way off still.

In an interview published Friday in the LOS ANGELES TIMES, Dem presidential hopeful John Kerry claimed he "never ever implied" that he threw his own medals during a Hill protest in 1971 to appear as an antiwar hero.

But a new shock video shows John Kerry -- in his own voice -- saying he did!

ABC's GOOD MORNING AMERICA is set to rock the political world Monday morning with an airing of Kerry's specific 1971 boast, sources tell the DRUDGE REPORT.

The video was made by a local news station in 1971.

It directly contradicts Kerry's own website headline: "RIGHTWING FICTION: John Kerry threw away his medals during a Vietnam war protest."

Kerry's campaign refused comment Sunday afternoon, citing a policy not to respond to the DRUDGE REPORT.

The Claws of Hillary are evident, IMHO. Kerry has about 3 weeks to get something resembling traction or McAwful and the Clintons will arrange for him to be dumped.

This is only Round 1 of many more potential hits from his "friends."

[hoosiermama]

IMOHis wife should alter her nose. She certainly has the money and could afford it.

He's way too arrogant for that... doesn't matter how many FBI files are stuffed in the pantsuit. Kerry is all about Kerry and this is his shot at the big job.

Which made him the perfect patsy for Shrillary. Pitiful he couldn't see he was being led to slaughter through his arrogance.

[litany_of_lies]

If you hear it on Dan, Tom, or Peter, you'll know that either the MoveOn.org members working on staff snuck it in on orders or that Dan-Tom-Peter got the orders directly from McAwful-Clinton.

Otherwise, keeping it on GMA only is a way of saying "see we covered it" without giving it the deserved exposure.

This is from the other pulled thread: Kerry's campaign refused comment Sunday afternoon, citing a policy not to respond to the DRUDGE REPORT.

Smug (choice word) prix?

Fine, they don't want to respond, we will just think Kerry's a lying arrogant windbag...except no thinking is really required!

[litany_of_lies]

Gee, I'd forgotten that it was Sphincter Specter who referred to Scottish law during the impeachment "trial."

I hope Toomey's camp remembers this. They could have SO much fun with it.

[mtbopfuyn]

They could sell them at their next "Bake Sale"!

Good one!

The war kept drawing him back. Newly married and on honeymoon in France, Kerry detoured from his vacation to meet with South and North Vietnamese delegates to the Paris peace talks. How a 26-year-old private citizen without a political track record connected with the negotiators is unclear.

He had a paycheck to pick up.

Perhaps they can charge the Pres. with secretly conspiring to publicly humiliate the UN Oil for Food principals

Another Freeper has already heard this on liberal radio. Perhaps it was Err America, however they were laying the blame on Republicans not just the Pres.

IMHO--Whether GMA pulls it depends on whether the Cllintons want it aired.

[theDentist]

Sounds like John has a Clinton-complex: Lying when the simple truth would do.

[barker]

He is so obsessed with his decorations that he updated his DD214 in 2001!!!

He is obsessed with Vietnam. Re-enactments, home videos. Read not long ago that on his one and only date with Dana Delaney (China Beach) they went to his house and watched his war movies. Yuck.

[spokeshave]

"He actually threw his medals away before he didn't! "

Was John F'n Kerry in Viet-nam..I gues he was there before he wasn't...or somesuch
