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.

Says medals he threw were from 2 other men.

Has anyone asked, "Who are those two other men"? I'll bet he doesn't recall.

The oldest trick in the book: to catch a liar, just ask for details, and check them.

This is such old news. Free Republic was discussing this back when he started to campaign even before the primaries officially started. He must have told Hillary either no or maybe regarding the Vice Presidency. This is just a warning shot to him from her as to who is really running the show....Trust me, he is in a no win situation. If he selects her, he is a dead man running and if he doesn't, then he be lucky if he is ever elected to anything again.

I had to watch Jennings report on Kerry's response to Charlies interview with F'n K. Did anyone else see the end of the report? It was a bonus. They showed Kerry after the interview, but still being taped with sound on taking the mic off and Kerry saying something to the effect: " ...they are doing the work of the RNC!" and he tosses the mic to the ground with a discusting look on his face. It was fantastic!

Some other thread said Jennings was going to get even with F'n after Peterd was lied to by him in some recent interview ("I never through my medals over the fence".)

post 91, picture of Saturday night live skit.

Where did you get this picture?, to this day I think it is the funniest Sat Night live skit ever and for some reason they never reply it on the best of shows.

Good thoughts. You're probably right and they probably won't do it.

But....they do control the media and we do have the Torricelli example.

Sounds like Kerry threw his medals before he didn't throw them.

Still, the medals flap is really just a sideshow, distracting people from Kerry's genuinely appalling lie that America committed genocide in Vietnam.

I agree

WOW!!! Thank you for posting this Kerry gaff. This should be a great Bush commercial. Please send this statement as a suggestion of a commercial for the Bush campaign.

I always thought it was so "easy" for him to throw away his medals/ribbons (however you want to take it) because in his heart of hearts he KNEW he didn't actually EARN a single one of them. Not the papercut Purple Hearts, not the Bronze or Silver star either for that matter. Especially when to "earn" this silver star he did everything he SHOULDN'T have done.
