A veterans group seeking to deeply discredit Democrat John Kerry's military service will charge in the new bombshell book UNFIT FOR COMMAND:
Two of John Kerry's three Purple Heart decorations resulted from self-inflicted wounds, not suffered under enemy fire.
All three of Kerry's Purple Hearts were for minor injuries, not requiring a single hour of hospitalization.
A "fanny wound" was the highlight of Kerry's much touted "no man left behind" Bronze Star.
Kerry turned the tragic death of a father and small child in a Vietnamese fishing boat into an act of "heroism" by filing a false report on the incident.
Kerry entered an abandoned Vietnamese village and slaughtered the domestic animals owned by the civilians and burned down their homes with his Zippo lighter.
Kerry's reckless behavior convinced his colleagues that he had to go -- becoming the only Swift Boat veteran to serve only four months.
The Kerry campaign is planning to vigorously counter the charges and will accuse the veteran's groups of being well-financed by a top Bush donor from Texas, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.
"They hired a goddamn private investigator to dig up trash!" charged a top Kerry adviser traveling with the senator late Tuesday. "This is pay for play, and the dirtiest of all dirty tricks ever played on a candidate for the presidency. How low can they go?"
Kerry supporters are comparing the effort by the veterans to the Arkansas State troopers tell-all against Bill Clinton.
UNFIT FOR COMMAND will not be released until August 15.
The names. The details. All on the record.
Beginning tomorrow, the DRUDGE REPORT will break the embargo.
The fork is in... now time to turn it. Toast!
They have to make it clear that this is not a GOP sponsored effort. They are doing it on their own. Many of them would be voting for a Democrat candidate if it were not Kerry. Their point is that this man created a somewhat phony resume and is unfit to be the commander in chief.
I already had suspicions that the first "wound" Kerry received was self-inflicted, this is the first time I have heard that the second "wound" was also self-inflicted.
If these are/can be substantiated through documentation, Kerry is in for a VERY bad fall.
An observation:
The way the Kerry kampaign is screaming about the book, it would seem those Vietnam Veterans have Kaptain Ketchup by the ping-pong balls.
Notice they didn't say that someone was hired to make up trash. If they're claiming someone dug up trash on Kerry, isn't that an admission that the allegations are true?
EXACTLY what jumped out at me! Is that not the biggest Freudian slip you've ever seen? "dig up"?? LOL!
Hey! Schadenfreude + Freudian = Schadenfreudian?
*pops corn, settles in to watch*
Yep. I understand that one of his Purple Hearts was awarded after suffering injuries that required tweezers to remove a splinter and the application of a band aid. It's a wonder he made it through such a life threatening ordeal.
Here is a good one of claiming victim status and persecution. Calypso Louie , while speaking at a gathering of the radical liberals concerning equality of law enforcement in the black communtity said. " Just at look what the FBI did to Marion Berry." Caught, video taped and in plain view. Crack is hazardous to one's mental health, just ask Marion(The Vic). I thought you might like this allusion of victim status.
