No, I said that she appeared to believe that Kerry might have shot himself. From the transcript (see tapatio's #195): Suit yourself. I heard the exchange, with context and timing that your snippet omits. No reasonable observer comes away with the impression that Michelle Malkin appeared to believe that Kerry might have shot himself.
I've read the transcripts and I've heard the audio.
Cbolt is correct.
Michelle Malkin consistently referred to the 'injuries' as "self-inflicted" wounds. Matthews is the one who repeatedly used the phrase, 'shot himself'.
Mr. Secret Agent should go back and re-read the transcript and consider Matthew's style of constantly talking over his adversary. It was my impression that Michelle was merely stating that some veterans agreed that some of Kerry's wounds were self-inflicted. Matthew's is the one who rammed the 'shot-himself' comment into the 'dialogue' (more like monologue)...
Suit yourself. I heard the exchange, with context and timing that your snippet omits. Read tapatio's #195. Is it not a full and complete transcript?
I too, heard the exchange and thought Michelle merely wanted to explain the difference between "shot himself on purpose" and "self-inflicted wound".
She had many chances to simply say "No!" when Matthews asked her, if she thought Kerry shot himself on purpose. She never did.
She did answer "Yes!" one time. One Yes vs zero No's.
I conclude she thinks that Kerry might have shot himself on purpose on one occasion. Matthew wouldn/t let her qualify, explain, or call for any more investigation.
