I was told the pro Kerry documentary "Going Upriver: The Long War of John Kerry " includes a photograph of Kerry shoving his ribbons through the fence . Is this true ? has anyone seen the movie? Sorry if this has been discussed. I could not find anything in the boards on it.

When I did a Google search I found these articles about it.

"During this scene, Butler includes a photograph of Kerry shoving his ribbons through the fence"

A photo would help.

I talked to a Viet Nam war hero this morning. He was a forward air controller in a Birddog, supporting our troops. He spoke about it as casually as driving in traffic on a good highway. No bragging. No bravado. As he said, we won the war but gave up politically.

Someone saw my Viva Bush sticker and gave me his calling card - a conservative blog. Am I the only conservative left without a blogsite?

The film is still keeping people away from the box office in droves. 29th place and dropping.

Last night I had the privilege of viewing "Stolen Honor", at which the producer, Carlton Sherwood, was present. He had a lot of interesting comments for us. He mentioned that he had been standing very close ("as close as from me to you" - maybe 8-10 feet) to Kerry on the day he tossed his medals. He told us that they were definitely medals, and that he also noticed Kerry's perfectly manicured hands. (At least the man is consistent about his manicures!)

"During this scene, Butler includes a photograph of Kerry shoving his ribbons through the fence that he left out of the film's companion book."
This slate article says the photo IS IN the film and not the book.

John F'n Kerry did us in during Vietnam. Now he thinks he's gonna do it again. Kerry is a cowardly appeaser and communist/terrorist tool. Hopefully the majority of the voters recognize this.

Kerry claimed at the time, and we have it on film, that he threw away his medals--eight or nine according to him. In 1985 Kerry requested replacement citations/certificates for his Silver Star, Bronze Star, and three PHs. No one knows if Kerry received replacement medals as well. In 2004, Kerry claimed on Good Morning America that he threw away his ribbons and someone else's medals. When confronted with this inconsistency, Kerry told Charles Gibson that everyone knows that ribbons and medals are interchangeable.

I suspect that this George Butler film is meant to substantiate the ribbon story. Butler helped edit Kerry's book, The New Soldier, so he has been a Kerry co-conspirator ever since 1971. I believe that Kerry did throw away his medals in 1971 and is lying abut it now. Someone needs to ask the Navy if Kerry was also issued replacement medals in 1985. Since the Navy provided Judicial Watch with copies of the replacement certificates, I don't know why the Navy would be averse to responding to this question.
