Anybody know what Harkin’s thoughts were on John Kerry. You remember John Kerry - he served in Vietnam (lol).

[Liberty Valance]

I'm speechless so a photo will have to do.

[tobyhill]

Both Kerry and Harkin were in a competition to see who could embellish their records the best.

[Nachum]

Wonder what Harkin thinks of George Washington, Ulysses S. Grant, and Eisenhauer...

Careful Tom, don't let anybody see that long streak of yellow running down your spine.

[Retired Greyhound]

It’s kind of funny, actually, this utter hypocrisy.

Harkin is the guy who lied about his war record.

[elhombrelibre]

Liberals try to use the military issue any way they can. Dan Quayle served in the Guard, so he wasn't fit to be VP, they said. Clinton dodged the draft. No problem for the Liberals. George W. Bush served in the Guard, and was again not worthy of the presidency because of it. McCain was a POW in Vietnam and whined less there than Obama does while running for president and having never worn our nation's military uniform and flip flopping on wearing its flag. No problem for Liberals with Obama. McCain, who has sons in the USMC, is unacceptable though.

Harkin, who has a history of embellishing his own military record, told Iowa reporters last week that McCain’s background as the son and grandson of Navy admirals creates a “dangerous” situation because he can only view the world through the prism of the military.

As opposed to someone like Harkin, who can only view the world through the prism of a fool.

[CholeraJoe]

Harkin, who has a history of embellishing his own military record,

You'll only get this on Fox. Every other news outlet worships the military records of Dems like Harkin, Gore, Kerry, Kennedy and Schumer.

Wait, Schumer wasn't a Green Beret in Vietnam? Who knew?

[clee1]

Tom Harkin is an unmitigated a$$hole.

[Mr. Lucky]

Maybe that’s just urine.

[Holicheese]

My thoughts also. Did he oppose Jimmy Carter?

[mjp]

John McCain’s family history of military service

What about people with a family history of Islam and have a middle name of Hussein?

[JerseyDvl]

Tom Harkin is a very credible War Hero himself ya know?
/s/
The only soldiers the ‘Rats like are traitors and the ones who have died and can be used for political gain.

[Noumenon]

Harkin’s seditious background makes him unfit to live. Period.

[Holicheese]

Wait, Schumer wasn’t a Green Beret in Vietnam? I have never heard this story. Is this true?

[Tennessee Nana]

Did Harkin vote for Congressman Duncan Hunter, who has an excellent military background as a decorated Vietnam veteran and would make a great Commander-in-Chief, POTUS and leader or the free world??????????????

[Non-Sequitur]

“He has a hard time thinking beyond that,” Harkin said, according to The Des Moines Register. “I think he’s trapped in that. Everything is looked at from his life experiences, from always having been in the military, and I think that can be pretty dangerous.”

Didn't seem to hinder Dwight Eisenhower.

[BamaAndy]

The liar Harkins is unfit.

[river rat]

Senator Harkin’s penis envy is apparent...
Senator Harkin LIED about flying combat missions.
Senator Harkin’s lies, low I.Q. and Socialist leaning should have gotten him thrown out of the Republican Party..

Senator Harkin is an example of Kakistocracy....
