Kerry was so stupid for bringing this up yesterday. His presstiture buddies were doing a great job of suppression, but once Tall Tale John opened his yap about the accusations, the dike started to crack open wide. At this point, even the presstitutes can't keep the lid on, even though they will spin as required by the DNC.
Was Rassman on Kerry's boat or on the boat that hit a mine? I have seen both.
Also, if you end up under water and when you pop out all the boats around you are rockin' and rollin', you would think you were receiving fire from shore. I can understand his mistake.
Agreed. People should start to ask Meehan, Carvile and Lanny David if they really do get paid enough to scoop the leavings up after J F'N opens his yap. It is a really a tough hazard-filled job to shill for such an ignoramous.
From what I have read Rassman fell of of kerry's boat when he fled..........

This is what Odell said yesterday. He thinks Rassman heard the friendly fire. He also pointed out the unbelievable reference to "hostile fire from both sides of the river for 3 miles"
That should be easy to check out. Who were the guys in the river, what do they have to say.
It depends what you read last. Rassman has made different claims at different times.
Rassman(paid servant of the Kerry campaign)has stated repeatedly before that he was ON KERRY'S BOAT!
The boat that hit the mine tossed a few men overboard!
Instead, reporters are busy digging for dirt on the swifties, and looking for a connection to the Bush campaign.
DING DING DING!!!! This is the Big Statement. Yesterday after the WP SMEAR STORY Thurlow speculated that the Citation came from the After Action report --WRITTEN BY KERRY!!! Here we have Confimation! From the MAN who wrote the CITATION!
Bump!
I've thought about that too. Add to it that he's probably getting showered with .50 casings from the surrounding boats. I also read early on that Rassman claimed to have submerged to avoid getting hit by the oncoming boats, not enemy fire.
reporters, are liberals AND ARE SUPPORTING KERRY! LIBERAL MEDIA BIAS DONT YOU UNDERSTAND THAT!
And if Rassman was in and under the water and hiding from the enemy fire, why on God's earth would he WANT TO BE RESCUED? Wouldn't he have been safer diving under the water where the hostile fire couldn't harm him? If what Rassman said was true, then he was a lot safer in the water than he would have been on the boat. Kerry would have been pulling him out of the frying pan and into the fire.
The only believable scenario is that there was absolutely no enemy fire going on when Kerry fished Rassman out of the water.
Is Kerry admitting that he raced his boat 3 miles down river? That is a heck of a long way on a river. That is a heck of a long way to run from your wounded comrades. And Kerry got a bronze star for his bravery?
Money well spent. AND they don't keep calling you back asking for more - more - more!
