Full title: Trump’s attacks on Sen. Blumenthal are actually more absurd than Blumenthal’s lies about serving ‘in’ Vietnam

Umm. I’ll take a shot.
Perhaps it is legitimate to claim there is valor in “actually” going off to war for your country(?).
I don’t know but that’s just me, and I have never been shot at. But, I can imagine it’s not very pleasant, even if no shots actually tear your arm off.
So, if Blume didn’t see any valor in making the claim, why you suppose he made the claim then? You reckon there perhaps is a tiny chance he was trying to impress voters with his valor? Valor, which he did not possess?
Of course the actual story was Da Nang Dick sanctimoniously calling out Judge Kavanaugh by using the “Lie once, always lying”, latin semi accusation/statement to the judge. That kind of charge should only be employed by a saint. It was one of those Sparticus moments the hearing was peppered with, when they were not asking about farting and brewskis.
The price they paid for a mockery of hearing may be hugh, and series.

Blumenthal claimed to be a combat veteran of Vietnam who fought under fire in Da Nang and saved his buddies from when he has never been in Vietnam, that is not a small thing and it shall not be excused."
Nope that crazy little woman is right - its you who just displayed ignorance - oh noes. Go to google read the law - basically you need to fraudulently claim having received a valor award specified in the act. Did the Senator asshat do that? I don't think he did.
I also asked a JAG officer about this directly pertaining to Senator asshat - they said the same thing as - well its in the law.
“other than saying he(DICK) was in Vietnam when he(DICK) wasn’t”
Oh. Other than THAT scumbag “stealing honor” he doesn’t deserve lie. For most folks it would matter.
Since DICK Blumenthal is one of the slimiest, nastiest, and sleaziest Democrats in the Senate, I guess it doesn’t matter.
hang him
Spot on!
No, they are calculated and brilliant. It immediately changes the focus onto who the jerk is rather than anything he says. Every time he opens his mouth from now on, people will immediately think “Danang Dick”.
Blumenthal needs to do a public appearance correcting the record. “No I did not cry when I admitted that I had not actually served in Vietnam as I originally claimed.” Let’s hear him straighten that out.
Agree!

Dude, yours is a losing argument and quite beside the point. People accusing Danang Dick of stolen valor don’t give a hoot about the legal meaning of that term. What we do give a hoot about is that this “Senator” is actually a charlatan who lied multiple times about service in combat in a war where those who actually were in combat put their lives at risk on behalf of their country. We consider that deception the equivalent of stolen valor, and no appeal to the legal terminology matters to us.
But President Trump never claimed he went.
Becket Adams appears to be a maroon.
Interesting the law is besides the point when discussing the law.
We were discussing a point law (bout the legal meaning of that term) - not the morality, opinion,public sentiment or how you feel. You can consider anything to be anything you want it doesn't make the law. He can't be charged under the statue if he didn't claim any of the valor listed in the law. Is he a liar - absolutely is that illegal - in this case probably not.
But you don't care about the law and the context of the discussion, are more interesting in conflating things - so string him up even though he was popularly elected - that a liar was elected to high office OMG!
CLW has pinged my troll radar lately.
More bankrupt leftist attempts at equivalence.
One lied for decades saying that he served with valor in Vietnam. He crept in among those valiant men and women who served in Vietnam.
One did not lie.
Leftists lie and provide cover for those that do.
Absolutely
