Dem Ticket Doesn't Wow Marines At Wendy's.

[EggsAckley]

You know, I think you might be right. Hard to tell. But it doesn't look so much like a finger, now that I look again.


The more I look at it the madder I get. Kerry's face looks downright threatening. Like he's disciplining some soldier in his command. And yes, the Marine's hands do tell a lot. He was trying really hard not to blow. Makes me mad!

"Look at it closely, I don't think that's his finger."

I think it is his finger. I count three fingers below the extended digit and one thumb above. I would like to know what kerrie is telling the Marine that involves pointing his finger at him like that.

4 months .....

Just a little over 100 days........ in Vietnam

I'd say he's pointing at the Marine's ribbons, tryign to establish "I was a soldier too" rapport.

It doesn't much loook like it worked.

That photo needs to be on the front page of every newspaper to show how John eFing treats our troopers. Do you suppose... eFing is saying, "Pull my finger."

[xkaydet65]

No, that's the Marine's white undershirt that looks like a business card.

[Krodg]

Look at it closely, I don't think that's his finger. It looks like he's trying to palm off some of his campaign stuff (looks like a card of some type) and the Marine is not making a move to take it. As a matter of fact, you can see the young Marine reflexively starting to clench his fists as he controls his anger.

I mentioned on another thread that I thought Kerry was trying to hand the Marine a card...and the Marine didn't want it. Everyone insists a finger because he is famous for pointing to someone else. I see how they could jump to that conclusion but it cannot be his finger... it is as straight as a board.

[beethoven]

I only see three fingers under the "point". . .It appears Kerry is pointing at the Marine. . .I dislike Kerry more everyday. . .

[Conservative4Life]

It looks as those that Marine has his fist clenched and maybe his teeth too, his fellow Marine is sitting there in complete awe that this wanna be actually had the cajones (barrowed from hitlery's lock box I'm sure) to approach them... he he he

Good catch there McGavin999. I didn't notice that at first but I think you are right.

Of course it shoots to hell my version of the dialog. :)

Kerry: What you lookin at, boy? Don't you eyeball me. I ain't your girlfriend. Now drop and give me 20.

Speaking of marines, see today's (July 31, 2004) San Diego Union-Tribune (perhaps available on their website)for a fine article revealing the exceptional valor of our great U.S. Marines in the Fallujah battles. It will make any American proud. This has received far too little publicity by Western reporters who preferred to dwell on the number of marine killed and wounded.

[luvbach1]

Don't think the marines will suffer for their demeanor toward the swift boat hero. After all, he is not their commander in chief.

"I hope he doesn't get into trouble for talking about his political views while in uniform."

An enlisted man can get away with quite a bit as long as he didn't initiate it. If someone asks an enlisted man what he thinks, he's pretty much free to give whatever opinion he wants.

I read somewhere that NONE of the major networks have run ANY stories of heroic action in Iraq. I know I've never seen any on TV.

[johnnyd]

Leave it to the media to twist it into some supposed political support.

The Marine was talking about his Commander in Chief in which he should be supporting.

[4Liberty]

Too funny.
The Miltary hates this guy.

That's what I meant to say

Thank you for correcting my mistake
