KERRY 'FLIPS OFF' VIETNAM VET
Democratic senator - and certain presidential nominee - John F. Kerry gave the middle finger to a Vietnam veteran at the Vietnam Memorial Wall on Memorial Day morning, NewsMax.com has learned.
Ted Sampley, a former Green Beret who served two full tours in Vietnam, spotted Kerry and his Secret Service detail at about 9:00 a.m. Monday morning at the Wall. Sampley walked up to Kerry, extended his hand and said, "Senator, I am Ted Sampley, the head of Vietnam Veterans Against John Kerry, and I am here to escort you away from the Wall because you do not belong here."
At that point a Secret Service officer told Sampley to back away from Kerry. Sampley moved about 6 feet away and opened his jacket to reveal a HANOI JOHN T-shirt.
Kerry then began talking to a group of schoolchildren. Sampley then showed the T-shirt to the children and said, "Kerry does not belong at the Wall because he betrayed the brave soldiers who fought in Vietnam."
Just then Kerry - in front of the school children, other visitors and Secret Service agents - brazenly 'flashed the bird' at Sampley and then yelled out to everyone, "Sampley is a felon!"
Kerry was referring to an incident 12 years ago when Sampley confronted Sen. John McCain's chief aide, Mark Salter, in a Senate stairwell after McCain repeatedly offended POW families at a Senate POW hearing. Sampley, whose father-in-law at that time was MIA in Laos, followed Salter into the stairwell and, when they emerged, Salter had a bloody lip and a broken nose.
Sampley's group, Vietnam Veterans Against John Kerry, has garnered huge national attention and has been featured in the New York Times, the Washington Post and on MSNBC's "Scarborough Country." Tens of thousands of Vietnam vets have registered their opposition to Kerry through Sampley's group.
Clearly Sampley has gotten under Kerry's skin once again.

. . . back to work!
I think that man has an anger management problem--calling his Secret Service Agents SOB's and now this--how can we get this more publicized???? There's GOT to be a video of this out there somewhere, and I hope someone gives it to FOX . . .
Except for Newsmax and Rush, who just talked about it in the 12:30 to 1 Pm EDT timeslot - we will never see this covered anywhere else.
Even if there is film, no one except for Fox would show it.
And I have this feeling that Dims who saw it would accuse Fox of "film tampering" because of course, their candidate couldn't possibly be guilty of such a vulgarism. We all know he's a cultural elite, so he couldn't possibly stoop to such low-class gestures.
Well, HE DID. He flipped the bird at someone who told him he shouldn't be a candidate for President, much less Commander in Chief, from the "Vietnam Vets against Kerry" President!!!!! Dontcha just love it?
The man has no class or decency...I'm astounded.
