CT: Blumenthal's words on Vietnam service differ from history...  (NYTimes)

[IPWGOP]

I'm posting this larger than usual. Please circulate! Thanks, Linda Eddy...

I just want to know one thing. How do actual veterans feel about this kind of stuff, and about this guy?

I think that Blumenthal ought to get a dumpster full of mail.

[jessduntno]

Nice job...if I were there, I’d put one on a stick as near as possible to the polling grounds...very nice job.

Hey, I served in Vietnam with Blumenthal!. Well, I wasn’t quite in Vietnam but I was only a few thousand miles from Vietnam and I didn’t serve in the military sense of the word but I did have a G.I. Joe doll when I was kid! Go BlumenDodd!

Blumenthal remembers Christmas of 1968, when Nixon illegally ordered him into Cambodia.

He is not a veteran of the Viet Nam war, but is a Vietnam era veteran.

[supremedoctrine]

Blumenthal ought to be PUT in a dumpster full of mail about HIM.

[IPWGOP]

yep

Lindsay Graham did the same thing the first time he ran for congress. Claimed to be a “Gulf War veteran”, but never left the states in ‘90-91”.

[bestrongbpositive]

Lindsay Graham is a big POS just like Blumenthal. The great state of South Carolina deserves better than John McCain’s butt boy.

I did 18 months boots on the ground in Viet Nam and look upon these phony wannabes as lower than a snakes belly.

They trashed us back then, denigrated our efforts and ridiculed us for going. Yet today, they line up to claim of exploits they never took part in or exaggerated, as in the case of traitor Kerry.

I've met quite a few who falsely claim Viet Nam Vet status and every time, their stories fall apart under just a little scrutiny.

[PzLdr]

Seared in his memory.

[tx_eggman]

Jane Fonda spent more time in Vietnam than Richard Blumenthal did

[pingman]

Does he have the hat? /sarc

[SMARTY]

Why don’t all you REAL veterans take out a page in the TIMES and hand this guy his a$#?

[M-cubed]

Wanna kill him off??...Alinsky Rule 11: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, polarize it.
a blitzkrieg of political ads stating in his own words.....

“HAVING SERVED IN VIET NAM AND CAPTAIN OF THE HARVARD SWIM TEAM”.....

the rest of rule 11:.... Don’t try to attack abstract corporations or bureaucracies. Identify a responsible individual. Ignore attempts to shift or spread the blame.

Make that the ONLY issue..Not Kerry

All IMHO of course

[JDoutrider]

I echo your sentiments... Scum like that fellow needs their arse handed to them (and I have), then PROSECUTED!

[RipSawyer]

Yeah, I served in Vietnam too, well actually I served on a carrier in the Med as a technician but it was during the time that other people were serving in Vietnam and I was on the same planet. I did see a lot of action though, in Spain, France, Greece, Italy, all KINDS of action. Lots of shooting too, shots of rum and a lot of other shots.
