"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 reported yesterday.
"Ted Sampley, a former Green Beret who served two full tours in Vietnam, spotted Kerry and his Secret Service detail at about 9 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.'

He's really trying to suck in the not-old-enough-to-be-smart (conservative) crowd.
Check #224 on this thread. a freeper said they heard Sampley on the radio confirming the basic facts.

Bump!
Real classy John Kerry! First the effin word and now the one finger salute.....I'm baffled how anyone could want this tasteless moron in the White House!
Yes, saw that. But we really need more independent confirmation, preferably a picture. There's also a post in that thread, linking to a letter on wintersoldier.com
Here, scroll down to Tony Snesko's letter.

is that a closed fist in the air communist salute he is giving?

Ha! A little slip-up.
How dare he use one of our Military ships for a campaign prop! How come he can and Dubya can't...silly me, I can answer my own question...DOUBLE STANDARDS!
Why so baffled that people would want this classless moron in the White House? After 2 tours with x42, nothing will baffle me in regards to morals and politics.
The sad part is that this sort of behavior is actually appealing to many members of the 60's "up yours attitude" generation.
If this is how Kerry reacts to some activist, what's he going to do when Saudi Arabia's defacto ruler, Crown Prince Abdullah, tells him the Saudis are going to cut oil production?
LOL... nice lensflare. Looks like somebody at johnkerry.com recently discovered photoshop.
Didn't we try a vulgar socialist with a bad temper before?
Is that an image of Kerry calling our troops war criminals before supporting them? Or is he supporting our troops before he calls them war criminals? I can never get that straight...
By callling them liars and freaks, that's how.
Sampley was the guy who confronted Kerry and leads Vietnam Veterans against Kerry. I doubt he was "confirming" it because he was likely the individual who informed NewsMax in the first place.
The amazing thing is that during WW2, FDR accepted the nomination for his party on board a US Navy ship.
