French Suspended By Nick Voll (August 27, 2004)
Oregon City - The Clackamas County Prosecutor who appeared in an ad against John Kerry has been suspended from his job, but not for speaking out. Al French has been the target of local protests after his appearance in a political ad questioning the the Democratic candidate's war record.
On Thursday he was placed on leave by the Clackamas County District Attorney's office. It wasn't for his statements against Kerry, but for lying about an extra-marital affair. Reports say French misled his former boss ten years ago to avoid getting fired.
French has faced a great deal of scrutiny since the ad first aired, with veterans calling for his resignation. He said in the spot that he had served with John Kerry, and that Kerry exaggerated his war record. He also signed an affidavit, swearing to tell the truth during the taping. French later admitted he had not served with Kerry, but relied on accounts from his friends.
That irked local veterans, who complained to the Oregon Bar Association. They say French violated his duty as a state official by lying on the affidavit, and can no longer be trusted.
When did lying about an affair become an offense to Dims anyway?
ping
what's your take on this?
see my #15 -- should've pinged you then
Not just the Clintons, but the Kennedys as well.
None of whom served with Kerry either. I wouldn't be surprised if their veterans' status is also somewhat overblown, like that of Kerry's buddy, who was he...Al Hubbard?
This will really get the Swiftys back up. Kerry's is going to regret this big time.
so, then, her is not qualified to work in the district attorney's office but, by democrat standards, he is qualified to be president.
In fact, because a TV station/daily says it it probably means it's highly, highly distorted.
Check out rnc.org and view the 12 minute documentary they have produced about Kerry's Iraw flip flops. It is enlightening. Show it to your undecided friends.
You're right.
What business is it for his boss to be enquiring about extramarital affairs in the first place?
Once again the proof is seen that the hypocrisy of the radical left knows no bounds.
Depends. To a Democrat, you didn't actually serve WITH Kerry unless you were on his boat, even if you were on a naighboring boat under the same commanders.
Did French ever actually say he served with Kerry, or did he say that he was a swift boat vetand then the Dems pulled the old "Well, we don't care if you were there on the same day and same time, if you weren't actually sitting next to Kerry on his boat."
I ask because the press has a way of distorting what people say when it comes to covering up for their selected candidate. And I ask because my brother commanded a unit of two of the modern day's MK-V's yet he could only be in one at a time- would a Democrat say he didn't serve with crewman so-and-so if that crewman were on the second boat and my brother on the first? With them it all depends on what their definition of 'is' is.
Here comes the Clintons' scorched earth politics.....
This should be seen as how dissent is treated in a Kerry/Soros co-presidency.
So, it's true: the Brown Book rumors are true.
And the Democrat Brown Shirts, armed with the DNC Brown Books, have started their street war.
I wouldn't believe a rat if he told me the ocean was wet. But if French said it himself, where do we stand?
Kerry's Gestapo tactics bode very negatively for our future if he is (gasp) elected.
