Kerry spokesman stripped of Silver Star

John F. Kerry almost became president running on the basis of his alleged heroism in Vietnam. Thanks to the efforts of a group of truth-tellers, the Swiftboat Veterans for Truth, the serious holes in the fantasy narrative propounded by the Kerry campaign came to the attention of enough Americans that John Kerry was not the first faux-Irish President of the United States.

Very interesting. Note the Silver Star was awarded in 1991! The date alone indicates a questionable award.

Men who claim awards for heroism when not entitled are lower than pond scum.

If the Navy brass had any guts they would also revoke Kerry’s fake medals and publicize his dishonorable discharge.

Probably not going to happen as long as Kerry occupies his senate seat.

[Interesting Times]

The article says he’s a retired Naval captain. Just curious, does anyone know if a felony conviction gets your retirement benefits revoked? Personally I think it should.

My understanding is that it's supposed to, but in practice it rarely happens. It doesn't appear that Sanders has suffered any inconvenience in the area of his pension.

[Interesting Times]

Does he have to throw it over the fence at the Pentagon to give it back?

Very good. But perhaps you're thinking of the Capitol.

I am not so sure Wade Sanders should have been prosecuted for having child pornography on his computer. He did claim he was working on a story about abused children.

Hereafter known as the "Pete Townsend" defense. Oh, those kiddie porn shots on my computer? I needed those for research!

LOL! Only an Obama-voter would buy that excuse!

[Interesting Times]

Thanks....I had a few email exchanges with Sanders during the phony kerry’s run for the W. H. He is a dirtbag of the highest order...and now this comes to light....Think I’ll have an early drink in celebration....

Having been compared to Joseph Goebbels by the illustrious Mr. Sanders myself, I think I'll join you.

Thanks for posting this article and your original report. I wish the Navy would review all of Kerry’s medals, especially the Purple Hearts that got him out of the war.

Awesome news. Congratulations on the Drudge link. Lifson get's it right when he says, "Scott Swett, who was central to the unraveling of the Kerry storyline, tells us that the Kerry enabler has been exposed for what he is. His Winter Soldier site has the details:"

You sir area an absolute warrior for the conservative cause. May you live long and prosper!

Are you serious? That excuse is right up there with, “That pot in my pants pocket isn’t mine, officer. These pants aren’t mine, either.”

I am not so sure Wade Sanders should have been prosecuted for having child pornography on his computer. He did claim he was working on a story about abused children.

Sanders also claimed that his problems stemmed from PTSD caused by the stress of dealing with those hateful Swift Boat Veterans for Truth. Alas, it turns out he was "researching" kiddy porn before the Swift Vets ever organized.

Here's Sanders' sentencing memorandum. It makes for pretty disgusting reading. As the prosecutor notes, there is no evidence whatsoever to support his research claims. Sanders had child pornography on every computer and hard drive in his house, and was making it available to others through a shared server.

[Seruzawa]

Hoo boy. If they start re-examining the medals handed out in Vietnam the officer corps is going to be in deep doodoo.

[USS Alaska]

Sanders served as President Clinton’s Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Reserve Affairs, but chances are he’s one Clinton administration veteran who Barack Obama won’t be asking to join his administration.

The one will ask sanders to join him in the mens room.

Congratulations to Interesting Times, aka Scott Swett!

FR is blessed with our own investigator of note. Move over, Andrew Breitbart and Hercule Poirot!

They should have grabbed the medals and thrown Scary Kerry over the fence.

Good work, friend.

“He said his work for the Clinton administration had included aiding victims of child sex abuse in the former Yugoslavia. “I have no sexual attraction to children whatsoever,”.....

What is it about democrats?.....They think they can lie their way out of anything?

Vets still have to fight here at home ping!

[Interesting Times]

Thanks to a couple of my favorite co-conspirators.

[Interesting Times]

Fox News has now picked up the story.

[TribalPrincess2U]

A BIG HELL YES!

Clinton probably showed him where to go to download.
