He is such a liar. he sounds awfully unrepentant to me. He was in combat for only 4 months. It is so Clintonian for him to leave people with the imoression that he served two combat tours--- he only served a third of a single tour. God, Kerry is an unlikable dude.

[Jeff Chandler]

Although he thinks John Edwards is "pretty".

[faithincowboys]

If this jerk is so proud of standing up against the war and slandering a generation of heroes, why didn't he go into it at his convention?

Instead, he tried to act like a gung ho Lieutenant.

This guy is a real POS.

''Well, I was there for longer than that, number one," Kerry said, offering his rebuttal. ''Number two, I served two tours.

An outright lie. 4 months in Vietnam is not a full one year tour. And of those 4 months in country, 3 weeks seem to have been spent in training.

[ladyinred]

SHOVE IT, John Kerry, you WERE only in Viet Nam for 4 months.

[goldstategop]

But he refuses to release ALL his records. Now THAT's petty and pathetic. Is more name calling all you can do John?

How long was J Kerry on the USS Gridley?

[Texasforever]

Number three, they thought enough of my service to make me an aide to an admiral

Brass love ass kissers John.

[Mo1]

'Well, John Kerry was only in Vietnam for four months, blah, blah, blah.' "

And he hung around with the likes of Jane Fonda longer then he served in Vietnam

[Belisaurius]

John F. Kerry last night diverted from his script and instead took on critics of his Vietnam War record.

Something bad happens to John Kerry whenever he does that.

The Democratic presidential nominee, standing before a statue of Benjamin Franklin

Kerry is sending a not-so-subtle message to his supporters: Send more money!

Yesterday, he stood in front of a statue of Lincoln (whose face is on the five dollar bill). Today it's Franklin (who is on the one hundred dollar bill.) Kerry's getting desperate. He skipped over Hamilton, Jackson and Grant.

[Mo1]

Number three, they thought enough of my service to make me an aide to an admiral [upon leaving Vietnam],

And if I recall correctly

He BAILED OUT OF THAT EARLY ALSO!!!

[VisualizeSmallerGovernment]

We're proud of you too, John. That's why we need you to release all of your military and medical records, as well as your personal war journal and any data you might have related to your anti-war activities so we can be as proud of your record as you are.

[FesterUSMC]

I guess being pissed off about someone slandering men that were in Vietnamese prison camps, and fighting for their country calling them war criminals, rapist, murders, baby-killers, torturers and the army of Genghis Khan . I guess in John Kerry's fantasy world its petty for people to think hes a traitor.

[JoeSixPack1]

Well sKerry, if attacking your Vietnam record is petty, why did you base your entire premeditated political career on it, which included diaries, 8mm filming, re-issuing of a Silver Star 3 times, re-filming actual day-to-day patrols for keepsake value, fabricating memories to simply advance an agenda, risking a treason charge to meet with enemy combatant leaders and then repeat to yourself every night before you go to sleep for the last 35 years, "I am a war hero, and you're not"??

Something as petty as a twisted, fictional, re-writing of memories causing the entire spectrum of your naval co-warriors (for a lousy 4mos and 12 days of your entire useless life) to rise up, rebuke your stories, publish a book about it, and get square in your face about it, shouldn't bother you one little bit.

If it's petty, it's surely not worth losing a Presidential nomination over.

Move on, sKerry. This whole episode is beneath you. It's petty.

Or better yet, step aside and let the Hitlery "bring it", we're hot right now, kicking her butt would be icing on the cake!

Oh, and we haven't even had a Convention yet. You're toast, traitor!

[NYCVirago]

Finally, a good sound bite from the RNC:

''John Kerry has run a relentlessly negative campaign and has hid behind $63 million in attack ads from shadowy 527s, one of which is run by his former campaign manager," said a statement issued by Bush spokesman Steve Schmidt. ''These soft-money groups have accused the president of lying, poisoning pregnant women, and condoning torture. John Kerry spent just 26 seconds talking about his Senate record at the Democratic convention, because his positions are out of the mainstream and he doesn't want to talk about the issues."

[Duke Nukum]

Hopefully I'll be laughing last but ever since he addressed the VFW last week, I've been laughing hard every time I hear him.

I'm not sure if I heard him give this speech or just heard the news reader on Fox quote but I about split my side.

[Caipirabob]

IF they're so "petty" why has the Kerry campaign retracted two major claims about Kerry 'Nam service over their assertations that he lied about them?

He was NOT in Cambodia as it appears in his testimonty, what? Some 50 times in congressional records?

Now we find that his fist PH was apparently for a self-inflicted wound?

Hardly petty, unless we are discussing Mr. Kerry.

[Mr. Keys]

It's hard to find the words to describe this guy and his party. But I'll try...liars,scum,pathetic,dangerous,delusional! ...etc.

[johnny7]

I hope this country wakes up.
