Kerry's new ad implies that shrapnel in his thigh is a result of pulling Rassman out of the water. But hasn't Kerry and Rassman said that the butt wound (thigh, butt, I'll bet the difference is a nuance) was a result of an earlier encounter with a sampan; the "wound" associated with the rescue itself was Kerry falling against the pilot house when the boat took off like a scared rabbit?
And no one else was hurt but Kerry?
And no bullet holes in any of the boats?
Kerry's whole Swiftboat Tour Tale as taken 3 hits below the waterline.
Well, first of all, the group was virtually ignored for 5 months by the media and only Fox News covered their national press conference. Then they came out with a devastating ad and the media finds McCain’s condemnation more newsworthy than the ad or the charges being made. The Kranish of the Boston Globe (conflict of interest) said Elliot retracted his criticism, but it turned out he stood by the ad and the criticism calling the Globe story “highly misleading.” Now you have the Washington Post doing Kerry’s dirty work by citing records based on Kerry’s falsities.
"3 hits below the waterline."
Are you refering to his Vietnam urinary tract infection?
Has anyone suggested a lie detector test to get at the truth?
Seems if the vets took one and passed,(which I personally think they would), then they could challenge Kerry and Rassmun to do the same?
Eh?
There was no enemy fire - John Kerry's boat fled while the other three boats moved in to protect a boat that had hit a mine. Then this coward gets a Bronze Star for returning a lifting Rassman up after he had grabbed on to the boat.
And we all thought Al Gore was a pathological liar..
bttt
Has anyone in here done the FOIA request to get sKerry's military records released? We know he's not going to fill out the SF 180, and the media isn't about to do the FOIA, so it's up to us. If no one else has, I'll do it.
This is a direct contradiction to Rassman's previous accounts in published interviews, he says. It also contradicts the theme used during the Democratic National Convention of "No Man Left Behind," which highlighted Kerry's accounts of heroism.
Wow! I bet Dan, Tom, and Peter will lead off their newscasts with this tonight! I can just feel it!
The end of the Civil War was near
When quite accidentally,
A hero who sneezed abruptly seized
Retreat and reversed it to victory.
His medal of honor pleased and thrilled
his proud little family group.
While pinning it on some blood was spilled
And so it was planned he'd command F Troop.
It wasn't because he pulled Rassman in the boat, that he earned a medal.
It was the fact he returned!
Although I don't understand why EVERYONE else hadn't received a medal for NOT LEAVING IN THE FIRST PLACE!
Does anyone know anything about this Jim Rassman? Rumor is that there may be something newsworthy coming out on him. Was he on Kerry's boat or not when he fell into the water. I thought he was on the boat that hit the mine?
Nick
Just come on board today?
"Rassmann, who had been on Kerry's boat, fell into the water as Kerry sped away. "
