OLIPHANT: I WATCHED KERRY THROW WAR DECORATIONS

Drudge ^

[hope]

OLIPHANT IN COMING BOSTON GLOBE: 'I was 4 or 5 feet behind John Kerry. I watched Kerry reach with his right hand into the breast pocket of his fatigue shirt. The hand emerged with several of the ribbons... There couldn't have been all that many decorations in his hand -- six or seven -- because he made a closed fist around his collection... From what I could observe firsthand about Friday, April 23, 1971, Kerry did not make even the slightest effort to pretend that he was throwing all of his military decorations over that fence.... Kerry had arrived here with only the ribbons he wore on his shirt... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have always found the political junk served up by Kerry's detractors to be undignified as well as largely inaccurate. I write now because the political junk is much higher profile now, though no less misleading -- and not, by the way, because in her fourth job in the public arena, my daughter just joined Kerry's staff. I just happened to be there that long-ago day. I saw what happened and heard what Kerry said and know what he meant. The truth happens to be with him...' Impacting Hard Late Monday...

It's wierd, it went from the lead Drudge story to off the page altogether... Any thoughts? anyone???

"I wonder if the GOP oppo research has copies of Kerry's old campaign lit from his early race.."

There must be tons of it;

somewhere. How about the book that Kerry wrote years ago and now has taken off the presses. Seems that would be available, somewhere and would make good copy. . .

Oliphant still has Clinton DNA stuck to his chin.

I am aware of Kerry admitting on tape that he threw his medals over the fence. I am also aware of the difference between a medal and a ribbon..My son just left the Marines after 5 years of service..so he has educated me on the subject..I also realise that throwing one is the same as throwing the other as the significance of both are the same.
My point in my post was to point out that this man..oilypants as you call him..was lying even when he was giving this statement..another lie to add to the pile. If John Kerry was WEARING his ribbons on his fatigues..why did the guy say that he reached into his pocket for the so called ribbons? Just doesn't make any sense to me.

Just read on another thread....."Of course the medals he threw belonged to Kerry they were on both sides of the fence."

my daughter just joined Kerry's staff.

This says all you need to know.

Why did he reach into his pocket to get the ribbons he wore on his shirt?

You know what we need? A photo AFTER the ribbon toss in which you can see the front of his shirt. Somebody, somewhere, has that photo.

With a credit card and a total lack of shame one can look like a gen-yoo-wine war hero. Of course, you're in a bit of a bind if anyone should happen to look into the citation, and some of us can get downright testy about that...

Whose medals was Michael Jackson wearing at his arraignment? Disgusting.

"I find it curious he went out of his way to say that part..."

I also find it funny that he would say he didn't have time to get his medals because they were in NY
