Kerry Stonewalling on Medals Mystery
Newsmax.com ^ | Aug. 29, 2004

Kerry campaign officials are refusing to answer questions about discrepancies in the military records posted to the presidential candidate's campaign web site after Navy officials and outside experts challenged the authenticity of some of Kerry's decorations.

Chicago Sun-Times reporter Thomas Lipscomb said Sunday that he's tried to reach Kerry campaign spokesman Michael Meehan ten times about the controversy - all without response.

Kerry can't just have Chrissy Matthews go out and call Former Sec. of the Navy, John Lehman a lier and think this will go away.

My guess is we are about to see the undoing of the main stream media. If they attack Sec. Lehman like they have pathetically done the decorated Vietnam Vets who are exposing Kerry, they will look pretty bad.

That would be bias that even the "sheeple" would be able to see.

I'm not saying they won't try......because we know they will.

Kerry is a disgrace! He should have gone prison time a long time ago, after he met with the North Vietnamese in France...

There's alot of sheeple that know nothing about Kerry, know nothing about politics and could care less to, and they still vote and will vote for Kerry just because he ain't Bush. That's why they are sheeple.

Michael Meehan has really been sounding downright nutty when asked about anything VietNam... it's like he just says anything now and isn't even trying to sound convincing anymore.

It's game over for Kerry's Tower of Hanoi (an actual game)

Sounds like Kerry isn't the only one AWOL this weekend.

Is the author exaggerating, or has the USN officially
spoken?

DD214
DD215

I see Jug Burkett is starting to talk a little. Right on cue.

As I posted some weeks back, between O'Neill and Burkett Kerry is just toast. I'm positive the worst for Kerry is to come. And it won't be pretty.

What a great thing Kerry or whoever talked him into pushing his Vietnam "service" have done. Imagine the odds of all those people that Kerry trashed 30 years ago getting the chance to clear their names. Never would have happened if not for Kerry doing what he did recently.

Kerry was a lying idiot 30 years ago and he is a lying idiot today. I suppose the old adage "what goes around comes around" sometimes is true.

The OM will never be able to salvage this fraud, who in a just world would lose by the greatest landlside in US history. Somewhere, Hillary is smirking.

This needs more press time.

He will.

He has carried water for Kerry at every point of this issue.

Matthews is going to go overboard next week. His bias has shown through more in the past three weeks than ever before.

He has taken it to a new low.
