Now John F*ckin's admitted to falsifying battlefield reports. What was that again, Max Boot, about Kerry's having told ONE inconsequential lie? Every day we're learning something new about the Democratic presidential candidate.

The preceding post is the link to the Dog Trainer's defense of Kerry's execrable April 22, 1971 testimony before the U.S Senate.

Fascinating ... we're disgusted by Kerry's claims that American soldiers are bloodthirsty war crminals a la the armies of Ghenghis Khan. The Commies at the LA Slimes think it is no big deal. In fact, they thnk Kerry is right and probably think silently "and they're doing it again! look at Abu Gharib!!!"

Has anyone heard sKerry say the name Ghengis Khan during the campaign recently? Has he learned how to pronounce it?

he did admit to falsifying battlefield reports, but covered his butt with a collective 'we'...presumably that means the rest of the Swift Boat vets, whom he said the other day he wasn't calling baby killers and rapists...he meant all the other Americans in Vietnam, not his guys. What a piece of work. How sweet the revenge just as he thinks he's going to bag the Presidency. Kerry brought this on himself in spades. The only question left is when the MSM and RATs in collusion decide he's hopeless and give him the hook.

Thurlow's own Bronze Star citation states that there was "enemy small arms and automatic weapons fire" directed at "all units." But Thurlow believes his citation was based on Kerry's own account of the day.

"I am convinced that the language used in my citation ... was language taken directly from John Kerry's report," Thurlow said earlier this week. "John Kerry was the only officer who filed a report describing his version of the incident," Thurlow added.

Thurlow and Kerry were each awarded a Bronze Star for heroism on that 13th day of March. Kerry also received his third Purple Heart as a result of the events of that day.

So, Kerry's third purple heart was awarded due to this report that Kerry embellished.

How many lies (that we now know of) does this make? I lost count.

Kerry also said that many in the military had "a tendency to report what they want to report and see what they want to see."

Swift boat captain O'Neill was on a local radio show yesterday. He mentioned that all the stories in 'Unfit for Command' are based on what at least TWO people witnessed. If one individual had an account, without anyone else having the same account, that story was left out of the book. O'Neill said there was PLENTY of other stories that never made it into the book.

He also said he wants as many people as possible to go to swiftvets.com and download the latest ad and pass it around. It gets the word out...

And I often read about my own missions in the Stars and Stripes and the very mission we had been on had been doubled in figures and tripled in figures.

Given that Kerry had already quintupled the figures, we're talking up to 15-fold inflation!

Kerry responded, "I had direct experience with that. Senator, I had direct experience with that and I can recall often sending in the spot reports which we made after each mission; and including the GDA, gunfire damage assessments, in which we would say, maybe 15 sampans sunk or whatever it was. And I often read about my own missions in the Stars and Stripes and the very mission we had been on had been doubled in figures and tripled in figures.

Interesting...another lie/exaggeration?

John Kerry would LIKE us to focus on his 1960's resume, instead of his anti-war protester years, or his Senator Do-Little years.

So WHAT ELSE is on Kerry's resume from the 60's... OK, here's one from Kerry's own website...
From the summer before his Junior Year in College...

EMPLOYMENT
MONTH AND YEAR NAME AND ADDRESS OF EMPLOYER REASON FOR LEAVING

Uninterested in work

That really irks me.....SBVs are forced to bend over backward to prove the worth of their words.

But a rank liar like Kerry can say anything he wants, crow about his Viet service, brag about his medals, and then rises up in a haughty furor if anybody questions the accuracy of his statements.

Life's not fair. Still, the sense Kerry is entitled is one that is grating on people and its by no means just conservatives who are repelled by his persona.

I just checked the C-Span schedule and didn't find it. Do you know what time it will be on? Thanks!

Yeah, well I think it'd be boring for a college student (with a personal butler) to walk the supermarket parking lot rounding up carriages (/sarc).
