FReep Flash! Kerry flips bird to Swift Boat Vet

News flash from the Kerry Campaign trip in Florida ... as the Kerry motorcade left the hotel, John Kerry flipped the bird to a Swift Boat Veteran Against John Kerry. Our SBV exclaimed "That is what I came here for!"

Evidentially JFK didn't catch TehRAYza's speech last night!

After action report upcoming, but given TehRAYza's speech, the flap about her remarks right afterward, and Kerry's continued use of profanity I wanted to get this out as soon as I could get to a computer. FReep on!

BTW, the 60 or so Bush supporters applauded the motorcycle cops as they left the hotel, thanking them for their service. Our prayers are with the officer that was injured further on down the road (well down the road from where we were).

Are you Kidding ME?! He flipped the bird AGAIN to the SBV's? What a complete nutbar!

The guy's being watched 24/7, and he can't show enough restraint to just ignore the SBV's? No Way in HADES can this guy get our national security authority.

NO WAY.

Dang it. If you would have had video of this (folks....if you go to a campaign stop, bring a video recorder), you could have done real damage to the campaign.

Him flipping off a veteran would have earned a spot on FNC and at least some other news coverage.

Thanks for thet info though.

He has done it before? Why the heck hasn't anybody caught it on tape? We need to catch this stuff on tape if we are going to have any hope of it getting into the news.

I know if I was a reporter, I would only cover it if I actually had the tape to prove it actually occurred.

Yup, did it again. Most of us were across the street but our SBV was right on the corner of the hotel driveway. I'm kicking myself that my camcorder is down but it happened so fast that I doubt I would have caught it anyway.

People really need to bring video cameras, cameras and be prepared for this. Kerry seems to not be able to handle protesters against him. This is the latest in this behavior. Sounds like a great rally. Any more info on signs that you had, chants, other info you'll share with us?

kerry, testimony before Congress, 22 April, 1971, kerry says, "I have been to Paris. I have talked with both delegations at the peace talks, that is to say the Democratic Republic of Vietnam and the Provisional Revolutionary Government,...."*(not on any authorised mission by the U.S. Government or by the U.S. military, kerry and his VVAW group meets and negotiates with the then enemy).

*excerpted from the Official U.S. Congressional Record dated 22 April, 1971.


"revamp the U.S. military", read as kerry's plan to PURGE the U.S. Military of Pro U.S. Military Veterans and Republicans, make it totally dependant on U.N. forces support for any significant achievement capable military(similar to france,germany, etc.), Turn home based U.S. Armed Forces, Intelligence agencies and Law Enforcement agencies into the democratic party's{including CPUSA and DSA} Praetorian Guard!!!!


kerry stabbed U.S. in the back continually since his return from Viet Nam. How much more backstabbing from this 22 April, 1971 testimony(self confessed traitor) before Congress that he(kerry) met with the then enemy in Paris, are we supposed to stand????

this thread is about 25 posts as I write this, but no one here or in the other thread (at the wall in DC) has actually witnessed this flipping of the bird.

I confess to some skepticism about its veracity. I will eat my words publically on this forum the minute a credible eyewitness account comes forward.

The guy Kerry flipped off at the Wall lives here in NC. He was on a local talk show after it happened talking about it. I believe him and have no reason to think he was lying about Kerry flipping him off.

All the other Dems dropped OUT. Leaving the RATS with FnKerry!!!!! This is the BEST THEY HAVE!

He is ignorant...........he is abrasive and he is full of himself.

I also just found out he only served 4 MONTHS in Viet Nam! My hubby had to serve "13" months. What made FnKerry so much better!

Our opponents are thin-skinned.

This will lead to innumerable opportunities for us.

God bless all of those who keep jabbing at 'em.

This is going to be an extremely nasty campaign...and I believe we have the edge.

It's going to be nasty because of the likes of Howard Stern, Barbara Streisand, Ben Affleck and the rest of the Hollyweird bunch.

Not to forget Fat Ted Kennedy!

It makes me sick to see the Dem supporters for FnKerry on Fox. I have to turn my head because I don't want to look at their faces.

I used to love Bon Jovi right to death, UNTIL I saw him kissing all over Al Bore at his party after the last election. And now again, kissing all over FnKerry. Leaves a horrible taste in my mouth.

I don't care how good Bon Jovi is and I don't care how good looking. That band is dead to me now.

250 + Swift Boat Vets tell the truth about Hanoi Kerry

http://www.swiftvets.com/article.php?story=20040629220813790

More than 250 Swift boat veterans have now signed an open letter to Senator Kerry
challenging his fitness to serve as commander-in-chief of America's armed forces.

http://www.swiftvets.com/index.php?topic=KerryinVietnam

"So far as we are able to determine, Kerry was the only Swift sailor
ever to leave Vietnam without completing the standard one-year tour of duty,
other than those who were seriously wounded or killed."

Well, thanks, it isn't every day that I'm called a liar. I didn't see the bird myself but absolutely believe the Swift Boat Vet that he received it. His elation at the gift from Kerry was unabashed and spontaneous. But doubt us if you wish. There were plenty of others at the event with cameras but then again, would you consider a photograph credible? I would be interested to hear what your definition of a credible witness might be. Is it that if a priest doesn't witness a tree fall in the forest that it didn't?

You know FOX reporters saw THIS story reported on FR.

However the story they JUST reported was how Hanoi Kerry ordered his motorcade to stop to talk to the injured policeman.

Well, thanks, it isn't every day that I'm called a liar.
___________

So who called you a liar? I sure didn't (by any reasonable person's standards). I don't doubt that you believe what you heard, but since you did not see it, you're not an eyewitness (kind of by definition). You're not a witness in any way shape or form.

Certainly by highlighting the fact that we have no one here who actually saw the act, not once but twice, isn't is OK to at least question whether or not it happened (given that he is currently one of the most constantly photographed person on the planet)?

I am totally open to the truth of this, as I made quite clear in my initial post, why else would I make an offer to retract my statement?

Judging by the freepmail I've received on this topic, I am not the only freeper puzzled by the lack of video.
