Honorable Discharge???? (WSJ picks up NY Sun story)

Wall Street Journal ^ | 10/13/04 | James Taranto

[freespirited]

In today's New York Sun, Thomas Lipscomb reports on the latest mystery involving the Vietnam service of John Kerry, who by the way served in Vietnam . . . We're not sure what to make of all this, but certainly the story of John Kerry and Vietnam is more nuanced than the simple tale of heroism he sold his party and is trying to sell the country.

bump!!

[no dems]

And you don't get more respectful than the WSJ.

[McGavin999]

it's the Michael Moore "sleep late, drink beer and vote for Kerry" people I'm worried about

They won't care about an dishonorable discharge, they supported a draft dodger for 8 years.

Hey Tonk and all. One more picked it up.

Mystery Still Surrounding Kerry's Discharge from the Navy
HUMAN EVENTS - 6 hours ago
... It describes Kerry's discharge as being subsequent to the review of "a board of officers." This in itself is most unusual. There ...

Will be interesting to see how far this gets. The MSM won't touch it, so the sheeple will never hear of it.

Would be nice to know the truth - which is why Kerry will never sign his 180.

I linked the NY Sun article to the John F. Kerry Timeline.

Ya, but some other media must check it for stories, I'd guess.

[JOE43270]

Keep more coming on this. I heard about this the other day and the origional discharge may have been a General.

[Ruth A.]

I have been saying for more than 6 months that the Navy got rid of Kerry under other than honorable conditions and that Kerry was pardoned in 1977 by Carter.

Yes, you were telling us so. It is still interesting speculation and will now reach a broader audience. The article was well-written and did a very good job connecting the thought dots.

[Mo1]

Well ... it just picked up some speed

[misterrob]

WSJ has major clout and people lend it some real credibility......hard to easily dismiss what they are saying

[Fawnn]

James Taronto is a saint.

He's certainly one of my heroes!

[68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub]

"Wonder when FoxNews will start reporting this? And trust me, they will!!!"

When ABC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC and NBC do.

AFTER the election is over.

When Kerry loses, despite the TV and Cable newsrooms supporting Kerry

Then they ALL will run a story on "dirty tricks" by the Republicans.

FOX "knows" this story exists, but no coverage at all.

This is Best of the Web Today from the WSJ's on-line site (though it's free). Not the print edition.

Lots of people read it, though not necessarily people looking for business news. It has a definite conservative slant and it's vastly entertaining. But it's not really MSM.

[camas]

all i have heard kerry say is he served honorably. never have i heard him say he got a honorable discharge.

[AFPhys]

Kerry is a lying scumbag traitor who has misrepresented himeslf since 1972. He can continue this fraud only with the active participation of the left wing media (that purchasesd IT'S forgeries from the same guys).

Say it again, Sam!

[maryz]

Needs to make it into tomorrow's print edition

Check tomorrow's editorials (I certainly will!). They've picked up things from Best of the Web Today before.

[MikefromOhio]

thanks for the ping Tonk


The scum is going down!!! < I hope >

[HighlyOpinionated]

Well, I did my part, y'all. I emailed everyone at FOX with The Sun's story and asked them PLEASE to take note of it.

Maybe that helped, I don't know, but I'm not above begging if it will help the cause of justice.

NOW with Wall Street Journal making it news, other newspapers, radio and television stations just might pick up on it too.

October Surprise "Candidate" Kerry who doesn't think he's a winner because he didn't resign his Senate seat!

[BushisTheMan]

errr....weren't you the one that said it had no merit unless it appeared in the MSM?

Then you say WSJ has clout?

I'm confused.

[Soaring Feather]

bump to the top!!
