OLIPHANT: I WATCHED KERRY THROW WAR DECORATIONS

and the rage exhibited by him and others was frightening.

Seems the left is fueled by hate for the United States.

[Mo1]

Sorry. It is a lie.

Kerry wouldn't know how to tell the truth if it smacked him upside his head

[mass55th]

"WOW! He must be Superman to have stood BEHIND Kerry and seen all that!! Tommy, the human Gerbil, is QUITE the Superhero!!"

Why, I believe he has X-ray vision. Give that Gerbil a medal!!

If I am not mistaken, Oliphant's wife is a MA judge and was involved in the decision to allow same sex marriages.

Whether J fn K threw ribbons, medals, other military articles, the gesture was meant to be symbolic. For him to dissemble regarding his actions is to quibble.

I was in the Air Force at the time and his actions were noted but I believe that the actions of the antiwar advocates that demonsrtated their beliefs by self immolation were more dramatic.

Dramatic Anti War Demonstration

Thanks, I saw that same video earlier in the day.

That was some rage being exhibited.

[TheSpottedOwl]

Imagine hating your country with such a passion.

Yeah, and the bum is running for president.

[Burkeman1]

Would any politician?

[Burkeman1]

Sorry- Just in a wicked cynical mood.

[Colinsky]

I just love people's memories from 33 years ago, especially when they probably went out and got stoned later that night.

Was Oliphant there as a reporter 33 years ago, or just as a spectator? Reporters typically have reams of notes about what they've witnessed, and it's not unreasonable for him to still have the notes from that event. And it's amazing how much you can reconstruct from just a few notes.

Did Oliphant file a story 33 years ago?

[OldFriend]

Well, while we're at it.......THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE TO YOUR COUNTRY.

"It looks as if he's wearing a purple heart next to his ribbons........"

Good eye!

[OldFriend]

Reminds me of clinton's comment.......AND THAT'S ANOTHER THING THAT'S WRONG WITH AMERICA!!!!!!

[ken5050]

Excellent comments...I agree wholeheartedly..to expand on your last para..in 2000, a sitting VP, in peacetime, in a booming economy and soaring stockmarket, lost, and couldn't even carry his own home state and that of the retiring president/ Now, we're at war, and 50% of the Dems in this country are pacifist at heart and want to pull the troops out tomorrow...Bush has a 3o point advantage int the polls ont he issue of security, and the OTHER half of the Dem party, when they get into the voting booth, will NOT be able to vote for Kerry..This race will break late, and BIG for Bush..it may break sooner when Teresa's tax returns come out. They're gonna be uglier than Hillary and Maddy Albright combined..

Oliphant....

Boston Globe....

daughter works for Jean Kerry....

Where's the credibility?

[Boss_Jim_Gettys]

"It looks as if he's wearing a purple heart next to his ribbons..."

Maybe a purple heart, or maybe one of these...

[RedMonqey]

"I don't get it. Wasn't the point of the protest that he threw his medals over the fence? Otherwise, he might as well throw a couple of ping-pong balls."

Exactly!!

[Avenger]

Where did you see this video clip? I would like to watch this.

[shhrubbery!]

Oliphant? is this that liberal weasel from Boston with the bow tie on PBS?

Yes, that weasel.

Oliphant's story sounds suspiciously like Kerry's --"reached in his left breast pocket" etc., etc.

Such similar memories of such minute detail from all those years ago? Methinks Oliphant is suffering from recovered memory syndrome -- false memory, that is, induced by that severe mental illness that afflicts liberals: Hate-Bush-itis.
