Howie Carr stated that he has searched all data banks of the Lowell (MA) Sun and Boston Herald and could not find any photos. He did acknowledge that this is an old rumor, however, but as for now just a rumor.
He also disclosed the startup of a new 527: Windsurfing Electricians for Truth to counter Kerry's GMA claim that he surfs with regular blue collar guys.
"They may be saving this as an October surprise, and saving up funds for a major media blitz."
Could explain this today:
SWIFT BOAT VETERANS JOIN FORCES WITH POWs, LAUNCH $1.4 MILLION NATIONAL TV AND MAIL CAMPAIGN

I needed this today (even if it's not true) after seeing the Gallup Ohio numbers that just came out...
If Kerry was present in a ceremony of flag burning and this has been captured on film, this election is over.
After his Senate testimony in Washington, he was featured on "60 Minutes," shared top billing with John Lennon at a peace rally in New York and was offered his own talk show by television executives who wanted to make him a voice for the '60s generation. (He turned the idea down as "too fluffy.")
******
Page 348: During the "winter soldier investigation" in Detroit, Kerry "read Jonathan Schell's The Village of Ben Suc (1967), a brutal account of how a Vietnamese community was destroyed by U.S. armed forces."
Page 424: After losing a congressional race in '72, "Kerry read novels and built model airplanes and ships to distract himself from thinking about the immediate future. He also painted a little."
Page 54: Julia Thorne, who became Kerry's first wife, nicknamed him "Pterodactyl" at Yale "because his long face made him look like a dinosaur."
Page 166: Kerry's radio-call sign in Vietnam was "Rock Jaw."
Page 302: Bill Rood, another officer, called Kerry "Ichabod," as in Crane.
OK, so he was a little pompous:
Page 31: "He was only eighteen years old and he knew just about everything about politics, particularly civil rights," says Danny Barbiero, a fellow St. Paul's student and a lifelong Kerry friend. "That annoyed some people, no doubt about it."
Page 244: Before a particularly dangerous raid in Vietnam, Kerry in his journal "noted for posterity that in fact he felt optimistic, in the same sense that a young Winston Churchill did when he fought with Britain's Malakand Field Force in what is now northern Pakistan: 'Bullets—to a philosopher, my dear Mama—are not worth considering. Besides, I am so conceited I do not believe the gods would create so potent a being as myself for so prosaic an ending.' "
Or even aloof:
Page 299-300: Larry Thurlow, a Swift boat captain from Garden City, Kan.: "John was sharp as a tack. … But he came from a background most of us couldn't understand. … And he was both distant and foolhardy."
Page 157: James Wasser, one of the men on Kerry's boat, concedes: "Some people were suspicious of him because he would talk to himself into a tape recorder."
The caller thought that it may have taken place in D.C., but he wasn't sure.
Oh come on, not fair. Can you at least link us to the thread?
Glad you brought that up....Has B-1 produced any evidence
of this yet? I offered to publically apoligize to him if he
does. (I consider B-1 a blowhard)
I DO HOPE THIS IS TRUE...I AM GOING TO SEARCH THE WEB TOO..OTHERS HAVE HAD TO OF SEEN IT............IF THIS IS TRUE I SAY WE ALL CHIP IN AN BUY THE SWIFT BOAT VETS EACH A "CITIZENS MEDAL OF FREEDOM" FOR GETTING US FREE FROM ALL THE DIRTY TRICKS OF THE DEMS
Well, at least she & I are both in NJ ;-)
Hannity & Colmes: Bob Dornan shows US flag that Kerry's group burned while they flew 300 VC flags
self | Aug 27, 2004
Kerry's group urinated on those flags and burned an American flag. Dornan says he followed and filmed Kerry for 8 hours that day. Dornan recovered several Communist flags and the burned American flag left behind by Kerry's gang.
why does it not surprise me the dims nominate such an asshat? the best part of the 'october surprise' is the libs have already trotted out their surprise early and got burned by forged memos....can't wait to hear how DUmmies spin the dirt on kerry
Maybe thats why Kerry is calling for an end to all the advertising from here on out. He knows what's coming (or going)
O'Neill has said he's saving the best for last and when prodded said "keeping it close to my vest". The SBVT heroes are not done yet. Hehehehe....
Here's the thread on Dornan.

A caller asked Howie Carr about this 15 minutes ago and Howie said he had heard this before, but says he has never been able to substantiate it.
They should aire it on an ad during the debate with 50-70 million people watching
The sad thing is, even if true, his base would still support him....
It will be interesting to see if this is true. But true or not, there are a significant number of people on the left who would view what these people are accused of doing as a positive thing.
