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.

Developing...

The Kerry campaign released a statement saying that Kerry would not be throwing any more medals away and would not seek or accept medals from anyone else for throwing.

If Kerry continues to lose ground, will he be dumped at the convention?

I've seen the beginning of calls for this on DU...but I don't think the left is smart enough to dump a loser before they're committed.

[hoosiermama]

Doesn't he already have enough votes for the nomination on the first ballot?

[kabar]

Kerry is stuck in a time warp and it is still the 1970s. He is a rebel with or without a cause.

[newfreep]

I agree. This has the Hildebeast's pawprints all over it. She will be the nominee when the rats leave boston.

Useful Fools website or blog has a doucments that fills in the gap, it states "3 Jan 1970 Released from Active Duty, transferred to Naval Reserve (inactive)" next entry is: "1 July 1972 Transferred to the standby Reserve (inactive)"

I don't know the process for the Dims to discard candidates that have soiled their knickers.

...he did a tour on a patrol boat in the Nam.

Let's try to be accurate....he did about a third of tour in Swift boats.

[Hildy]

Hillary....paging Hillary....

It seems awfully hypocrital to throw away someone elses medals in some pretence of all-out conviction. It's all about appearances. This guy doesn't deserve to lead guys like Pat Tillman.

So does his own website and findlaw.

[KillTime]

hah good point. And we all saw him throwing and (trying) to catch a football, so if he did infact throw those medals, we must conclude they went only a foot or two. A Mr. Burns type of throw.

"Oh Lord, won’t you let my wife buy me a Mercedes Benz? My friends all drive Porsches, I must make amends. Mooched hard all my lifetime, no help from my friends, So Lord, won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz ?

Oh Lord, won’t you buy me a color TV ? Bias media is trying to find me. I wait for delivery each day until three, So oh Lord, won’t you buy me a color TV ?

Everybody!

Theory B is that the Clintons are behind it and want Kerry to lose so thoroughly and completely that Hillary is seen as the only possible saviour of the party.

That theory is growing on me.

Which makes it even more important IMHO to get Condi Rice into the VP slot. I don't want Cheney to die and I really like the guy, but it would be nice if he a relapse that caused his docs to tell him to give it up.

The Nixon Administration made John Kerry one of its targets

As well they should have....he was part of a group plotting the assination of a group of senators!

[get'emall]

Can't see them dumping Lurch.

W is going to be too tough. The Hildebeast only wants to slice Mrs. Heinz' Pickle so he won't win.

And since Ol' Crusty won't run? Certainly they wouldn't reach into that Fellini cast of primary candidates....

[Quilla]

So John Kerry's credibility is falling faster than Bill Clinton's drawers at a NOW meeting. It's common knowledge that the Clintons control the media, so they are the likely suspects in this ABC attack. Kerry and that money he married want him in the White House, so much so that it looks like a Hillary VP pick is the only way to bale him out of this mess. Oh I know she said she wouldn't run as his VP, but to save the party....

[Howlin]

I thought I had seen a picture of Kerry throwing medals over the fence; was that a "reenactment," too?

[sirchtruth]

I agree. This has the Hildebeast's pawprints all over it. She will be the nominee when the rats leave boston.

Ok look, I can't stand this anymore!! Hillary will NOT be the nominee and for anyone to suggest such is pure lunatic Fringe mentality!

What has to happen to convince you people she will not be the nominee?

Looks like she brought out ole crusty today at that Pro baby murdering party!
