Steve Gardner on Rush (w/Hedgecock)Now!
The whole key is if Gardner is willing to do interview after interview and take the rat/flack like O' Neill is doing. They might slime one guy but not both.
This was a guy that was on the boat, was the 50 cal gunner in the tourret above the wheel house.
I didn't want to go there, but you may be right.
It's telling that the Dems feel desperate enough to try, though, isn't it?
Emphatically NO. First, this is between the Swiftees and Kerry. It is personal, not political. Second, the RNC cannot be seen to be connected, in any way, to the Swiftees. Any connection will be used as a distraction, by the DEMs. That's why Ginsberg resigned, on his own volition. To make sure Bush's message regarding the future can get out unimpeded by DEM whining-distractions.
I'm hearing this...from what I understand, 60 Minutes is making an effort to interview Mr. Gardner for its entire program next Sunday. <\bulls**t>
That is correct. Bush is wise staying out of this fight. I don't know if all swift vetrans support Bush, however they all hate Kerry.
Cunningham recounting the sliver-in-the-arm Purple Heart. Apparently Kerry told the doctor he left the sliver in his arm so long because he "wanted it documented." After the 10-second removal, bacitracin and Bandaid, he reportedly asked the doctor, "This is a Purple Heart, right?" The doc must have snorted, because Kerry left and came back later with paperwork to be signed by someone else (Jess Carreon? I can't remember the assistant medic's name.) Result? Recommendation for a Purple Heart. Granted.
We have to maintain the separation between Bush and The Swifty's. It's just the kind of mistake the media needs to save sKerry's ars again!
Gardner corrected Roger -- NO VC. These were civilians. This was a negative incident (not reprimand material, but reportable) that was falsely reported as a combat engagement.
Gardner was with Kerry on the boat on that Christmas day he said he was in Cambodia. Gardner stated they were 50 some miles away from Cambodia.
"This was a guy that was on the boat, was the 50 cal gunner in the tourret above the wheel house."
So this character wasn't in the wheel house with Kerry? He doesn't have the right to talk about Kerry if he wasn't in the wheel house. He wasn't there! ;)
Kerry is a total FRAUD.
A disgusting human being.

Not quite. Kerry took the medical report, signed by Carreon (for treatment overseen by Dr. Thorson), to his Commanding Officer (CO), Hibbard. Hibbard turned down Kerry's request to be put in for a PH. Kerry resubmitted the request months later, via a different chain of command. We have not seen the paperwork behind this PH citation, and don't know who approved it.
I thought Americans always shot everyone dead, on any pretext.
If anyone has a transcript to this interview I would greatly appreciate it if you could email it to me.
You will find, once that light comes on in your own mind, that it will never go out. Every bit of research you do on Kerry will illustrate the fact that he is nothing but a con-man.
And, with that in mind, think about the 30 years of media coverage of this con-man. ANd the media never reported him in sufficient light to illustrate the depths of his character. Never! The media is just as corrupt as Kerry is.
Yes. A Jenna - didn't catch her last name. Wouldn't surprise me if it wasn't Ann Richards.
