Fresh off his 'Christmas in Cambodia' fairy tale, The Poodle has been caught in another whopper, this time regarding one of his Purple Hearts. This is separate from the questions surrounding his being awarded the Purple Heart in the first place.
It looks like Kerry has contradicted himself in his own diary. In Douglas Brinkley's "Tour of Duty," which is Kerry's official, approved war biography, The Poodle writes an entry after a mission. In that entry he says that after several missions he has not yet taken any enemy fire. Ok .. big deal. Big whoop, right? Sorry .. but actually this is a big deal.
The problem here is that this particular entry in Kerry's diary was made concerning the mission which followed that mission where he earned his first Purple Heart. Now .. think this one through. Kerry goes on a mission and earns a Purple Heart. Then, after his next mission, Kerry writes in his diary that he has not yet experienced any enemy fire. Tell me .. if Kerry had not yet experienced enemy fire then how did he earn a Purple Heart?
Again, just as with Swift Boat Veterans for Truth allegations, somebody is lying. Is it The Poodle, who has now been caught in yet another lie, or those who have nothing to gain by pointing out the inconsistencies?
Shouldn't the media be taking a look at this? That's right...I forgot. The media is so pro-Kerry they will never do anything to damage his chances in the presidential election. They really need to concentrate on figuring out whether or not George Bush showed up for guard service.
Yesterday a freeper, posted a flyer he passed out in NYC. It stated: "Two of John Kerry's Purple Heart decorations resulted from self-inflicted wounds, not suffered under enemy fire."
Another "wisdom" from his speach: by pulling out troops from Germany etc. in 2006 he will expose us to AlCoolida attacks. Like this is going to deter some lunatic from blowing himself up. Stupid is what sKerry says!
...in 2006 he ... = ...in 2006 Bush...
I was wounded, then I wasn't.
I'm sorry, but please don't compare Audie Murphy with John Wayne. Wayne was never in combat. Audie was the most highly decorated soldier in WWII.
Brinkley recounts the outset of that mid-December journey, which included a crew of radarman James Wasser, engineman William Zaladonis, gunner's mate Stephen Gardner and boatswain's mates Drew Whitlow and Stephen Hatch:
Stephen Gardner is one of the Swift for Truth... remember this when the left keeps saying.. none of them where in the boat with Kerry...
I did not compare the two. I said that Kerry was attempting to be like one or the other.
I'm starting to think dritical mass here...the media is going to have to do this story or look like complete fools in the bag for the DNC, and then they have no value for the DNC

That was before he thought of the scam to get three PH's to get out of Vietnam.
Only way the media would take this up is if it was as serious as a 30 year old drunk driving charge.

That was more sardonic than sarcastic.
Should have been < /sardonicism >
LOL. They are way past that already. Almost anyone who follows the news knows that NBC, ABC, CBS, and CNN, are completely in the bag for the DNC. They are not complete fools, because they know exactly what they are doing when they cover for the Democrats. They know that the people who do NOT follow the news carefully will never know how Kerry has lied. They will have heard of some right-wing conspiracy group that accused him of things, but they will have the general idea that Kerry has been adequately defended by guys who served with him, and they will pull the lever for Kerry (or push the chad through for Kerry.)
"As my dad used to say, "I don't have a good enough memory to be a liar.""
That's beautiful.
I've always said I don't have a good enough memory to keep grudges.
