When this fake SEAL's claim of spending five years in Viet Nam was pointed out to me, I knew he couldn't be for real. SEALs deployed to VN for 6 month tours, so "five years in Viet Nam" seemed highly improbable. I knew lots of multiple tour "real deal Viet Nam SEALs" during my peacetime duty in the teams in the 1980s, and I never heard of this guy.

This only took a couple of minutes time for "amateurs" on Free Republic to check out. The "professional" journalists at the AP must have been to busy to do this basic checking.

I can state conclusively that the man NEVER completed SEAL training, and thus he is not now, nor was he ever a Navy SEAL

Worth repeating.

Boo-yaaa!
Good kill.
Wonder if he'll back down on any of his claims at all?

This is the third AP lie in two weeks. Can we keep a scoreboard somewhere of lies and rates of lying by major media outlets? I can hardly keep up. Leaving aside CBS, CNN and the NYT, at thier current rate, the AP alone has time to circulate at least 12 more bogus stories about the President between now and Election Day.

He was a REAL PROFESSIONAL Navy Seal. You're just an amateur seal, Travis. Get with the program, son. :) Hehe! Just kidding!

That was a good eye. I'm about to post an essay addressing just this very point. These liberals don't know how much of a diverse group of experts we have here. Do they?

The only people I met that did five years in Nam were Vietnamese who lived there, excluding, of course, our POWs.

Fake injuries, fake memos, and now presumably fake Navy SEALS, this campaign isn't going as smoothly as Mr. Kerry and the media might have hoped.

He should be glad he has a well-heeled wife and a secure gig as a senator when this campaign falls through for him on Nov. 2.

Doctors get sued for malpractice, why not journalist? Lies and misrepresentations can cut as deep as a shaky scalpel in a quacks hand.

Way to go! AP is totally worthless and looks to be only reporting the Kerry/DNC talking points.
