This is an image of the infamous "Medal Returning Ceremony" as the Kerry Campaign refers to it. When I saw this picture, I realized something about this event that I don't ever remember hearing discussed. If you look at the fence, there is a make-shift sign right where the medals where thrown. It says "Trash". There can be no mistake as to what is being referred to as "Trash".

[bootyist-monk]

My question. In all the comments about Ribbons or Medals, has anyone ever asked Kerry why he believed his awards were "Trash"?

[dead]

His were.

[GottaLuvAkitas1]

Very good point. I didn't notice that either.
Great catch!

[bootyist-monk]

From the information that is coming out, I'd have to agree with you. I think this just adds an additional layer of scum on the whole event. It wasn't enough to be a disgrace. It wasn't enough to throw them back. He had to refer to them as trash as well. And this man wants to be CIC? It would be funny if it wasn't so sad.

[bootyist-monk]

I would love to see someone question him on that. I won't be holding my breath.

gVery good catch!!!, but much like the damning press conference held by the group calling themselves "Swift Boats Vets for Truth" and their website swiftvets.com" Kerry's Navy Commanders and a few of his shipmates on C_Span, I doubt you will have any better luck in getting the attention of the Fifth Column (also known as our mainstream media) to pay much attention.

We are simultaneously fighting the War on Terrorism and the left wing extremest who have infiltrated every facet of our culture in order to bring down this country. Right now we are seeing their desperation bubbling to the surface as they lash out against anyone to the right of Barney Frank

Oh! Silly me, I thought that referred to the folks in the crowd.

[bootyist-monk]

Thanks for the clip link. Sign is right there in a couple of shots. Can there be any doubt that Kerry thought his medals were "Trash"?

Isn't that actually the day they marched on the Capitol building? I thought the olympic medal toss ceremony was elsewhere.

[ArmstedFragg]

"No, by golly" he said, answering his own question, the toss-off WAS at the Capitol building. Nice detective work.

[bootyist-monk]

Watch the video clip posted by Moma above. You can actually see the sign in a couple of the shots.

[McGavin999]

Look at them. That is exactly why we must never have a draft again.

[JustAnAmerican]

Watch the posted Video link.

Considering how Kerry 'earned' them he figured it was "easy come, easy go".

"We are simultaneously fighting the War on Terrorism and the left wing extremest who have infiltrated every facet of our culture in order to bring down this country."

The terrorists and socialists/communists are morphing into one face. What we need is a modern-day Whittaker Chambers to confirm the identity of the likely suspects.

[King Prout]

the difficulty is not in identification, but in mass publication - the alphabet news are all complicit and resist self-implication. Unfortunately, most voters -let alone the sheep- still get their info primarily from Blather et alia.

[King Prout]

...and the NEA.

The kiddies are being indoctrinated by the NEA.

There can be no doubt about with whom the NEA allies.

In the 1992 election cycle, one out of five delegates at the DNC were NEA members. In the 1996 election cycle, the ratio was one in four.

The number of NEA members who were delagates to the RNCs in those years was so statistically insignificant that AFAIK no one bothered to track the numbers.

I thought "TRASH" was referring to that whole crowd.
