Former Congressman John Leboutillier reports on a Memorial Day confrontation between Sen. John Kerry and a fellow Vietnam veteran:
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.

Can you believe there were some folks dissing this story because it:
- was posted by NewsMax
- was a second hand account
Rush Limbaugh brought this story up AND the one about the lady heckler at the VietNam Memorial:"Are you honoring those that you spat on, Senator?" (paraphrased, from memory)
It's very credible ! imho
Kerry Heckled at Memorial Day Event
Excerpt:Sen. John Kerry's record as an anti-war protester came back to haunt him on Memorial Day when he was confronted by a heckler as he tried to pay his respects to a soldier killed in the Vietnam War.
"How much money are you getting to betray our POWs?" an unidentified middle-aged woman shouted as Kerry visited the Vietnam Veterans memorial on the Washington Mall.
"Are you paying tribute to all the people you spat on, Senator Kerry?" she added.
< /snip>
The heckling episode served to underscore the resentment many veterans still feel towards Kerry from his days as a leader with the Vietnam Veterans Against the War, when he teamed up with anti-American actress Jane Fonda.
It looks like "Flipper" takes on a WHOLE new meaning now .....

Pinging. Excellent.
They call him Flipper, Flipper, faster than lightning,
No one you see, is more slippery than he,
And we know Flipper, lives in a world full of ego,
Lying and flipping and hard to believe!
No one you see, votes both ways like he,
The oh so wealthy and flippant Kerry.
Tricks he will do when voters appear,
And how they laugh when he is near!
They call him Flipper, Flipper, faster than lightning,
No one you see, votes both ways like he,
And we know Flipper, lives in a world full of ego,
Lying and flipping, that's John al Querry!

...Since I was a Co-Guest with TED SAMPLEY on BOB DORNAN's National Talk Radio Show a month ago about our Bi-Coastal Anti-KERRY Demonstrations (Mine was in Little Saigon)...
...I alerted the former Congressman about this KERRY the "Flipper" Story the day after Memorial Day. BOB's getting SAMPLEY on his Show to talk about this and I hope will be bringing it up during his own TV guestings.
Here's our Little Saigon Demonstration Thread with Photos:

I seem to recall that George McGovern flipped someone off during the '72 campaign. Must be an Ultra-Liberal thing.
Yeah, and, clearly, it is further proof that he can't get anything right.
I agree with you about his "appeal" and qualifications as a gigolo! He makes my skin crawl. Even the "young" newsphotos of him are creepy.

"Flippen the bird"
But do we know where that finger has BEEN?
I can't shake that image out of my head either.

I am SO happy! It's 6:50am, and I am watching Fox News and they were talking about Kerry and lawsuits and they showed that very picture you sent me! YAHOO!
About all the Vets "except two" are suing Kerry for saying that they support him.
Then, the two guys on Fox went on to tell about how Kerry flipped the bird the other day at another Vet, and also, some guy opened his shirt to Kerry to display a T Shirt saying "Kerry No Way."
The guys on Fox said "Kerry had tears in his eyes." oooooooo poor baby. I hope this is the END of this guy!!!!!! At least the truth is coming out!/
Woohoo!!! That is SO AWESOME!! (It wasn't my combo pic I'm sure, right??)
I am SO GLAD they are telling about the Vet at the wall! It's about time!
