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.

Maybe Arough wasn't worth it, he hasn't done squat!!!

He has "his medals" prominently displayed in his office. His claim is that he threw his ribbons and someone else's medals who could not attend.His VVAW friends were not happy to hear he "appeared" to throw his medals,but did not.

From JohnKerry.Com:
FACT: John Kerry is proud of the work he did to end the Vietnam war. The Nixon Administration made John Kerry one of its targets and Kerry's rightwing opponents have been smearing him ever since. John Kerry threw his ribbons and the medals of two veterans who could not attend the event, and said “I am not doing this for any violent reasons, but for peace and justice, and to try to make this country wake up once and for all.” [Tour of Duty, Douglas Brinkley]
Damn, he can't even help but parse his words on his own web site.

WAIT! He had medals? Was he in Viet Nam or something? Is he a veteran? although he didn't have the privilege of defending Texas from a Charlie invasion, he did a tour on a patrol boat in the Nam.

Sounds just like Clinton...I tried it but I didn't inhale...Kerry...My family owns those suv's not me...Clinton...I never protested war overseas and burned the American flag...Kerry...I never ever implied that I threw my medals on the hill...
At least this time America seems a little smarter...I bet the dems are wishing Dean was still in the race...
Hopefully the sheeple will wake up!

Kerry: I dreamed of being the second black president so my "Sugar Mommy" told me to wear her bronze tanning makeup.

Kerry still has his own medals.....he showed them to a Boston Globe reporter back in 1996 I think.....when he ran against Weld.

To be a good liar one must possess a keen memory.............this guy apparently doesn't possess the later and therefore can not be the former.

Does anyone know how I can browse through free republic and *remove* stories that I have no wish to view. For example can I filter OUT Kerry, McAin, names that I am sick and tired of seeing on here. Any help would be appreicaited.

I'll be happy once the video is shown. Stories like this tend to disappear.

Possible Kerry responses: "I actually said I threw away my medals before I said I didn't"
"Those were my families medals"
"???"
Oh, that's good!!!

"admits throwing own medals" is the wrong title, because he never threw his own medals. He claimed at one point they were his, but then we find out later they were belonged to someone else and he kept his. Then he said he never said they were his medals, and now drudge says GMA will show a video of him saying exactly that.

Just wait until it is figured out that Kerry probably claimed his medals were 'lost or misplaced' and reapplied for them AGAIN, which would explain why Sec Lehman's signature is on his approval documents, some 10-15 years later? Bingo. I think you figured out the mystery of Lehman's signature.

Old Media is going to report something we've all known for a long time...gives another meaning to the word "old".
