Has Kerry Backed Off Of First Purple Heart Claim?

Captain's Quarters ^ | August 24, 2004

[GWB00]

I expect Krissy Matthews and Keith Olberman to produce an apology to Michelle Malkin. (Not!!!)

Callinf Chris Matthews, great investigative reporter.

Things like this leak out as damage control for major information releases expected in the future. KerryKamp must have some notion that there is an independent document for this PH out there that's ready to come forward. Or perhaps they're planning on signing the 180 and are leaking the worst stuff that will come out.

It was settled for me before this, but how can any independent continue to support Kerry through all this?

[gilliam]

If I am not mistaken, unintentionally self-inflicted wounds can still be awarded purple hearts if they were caused during battle and if the intent was to combat the enemy.

For example, if Kerry was in battle, and during the battle he was blowing up rice cashes, and he stood too close, I think he would be eligible to receive a purple heart.

All his wounds are self-inflicted.

Clinton's MO. Remember, Kerry recently brought ex-Clinton campaigners on board.

"For example, if Kerry was in battle, and during the battle he was blowing up rice cashes, and he stood too close, I think he would be eligible to receive a purple heart."

I believe you are correct. However, there is no suggestion that there was a battle going on when they blew up the rice, nor any enemy action of any kind at that time.

I think this one had something to do with Kerry using the head on the swift boat and striking a match at the wrong time. Here is a reenactment performed by Donkey's for Kerry.

Yeah, but that doesn't mean it was NOT enemy fire!

He is his own worst enemy.

Given the above, how devastating do you think it will be for Hillary if Kerry actually wins this? Do you think it'd be so bad that she'd clandestinely undermine his campaign through her sources inside KerryKamp?

Of course the first PH was erroneously awarded to Kerry.
Kerry knows it, his C.O. Hibbard(sp) knows it, Kerry's crew mates know it, I know it and anyone who spent anytime in Nam knows it!

Kerry is the first clown I ever heard of besides Major Frank Burns on "M.A.S.H." who actually had the audacity to "request" a PH. And after Kerry's C.O. laughed in his face because there was no enemy contact on the day of the supposed injury; Kerry continued for three months after the fact to get someone, anyone to "sign off" on the PH.

Kerry lied about his injuries and he lied when he returned from Nam about the "mass atrocities" that did not occur.

Kerry is either a self-admitted war criminal or a pathological liar. Either way, he is "Unfit for Command"

Semper Fi,

Based upon all the Swifties reports, I am surprised that Kerry wasn't hit with "friendly" fire!

[Conspiracy Guy]

I love that one so much, I forgot who I stole it from.

[camle]

ah! a nasty sneak thief he is. nassty thieves them bagginses!

[gov_bean_ counter]

I have never bought into the Clinton wants Kerry to lose line. Hillary is not a risk taker. She can't handle losing. That is why she ran in NY. Practically a couldn't miss. She would much rather some man take the chances and do the dirty work then she follows in working behind the scenes unelected and unaccountable.

[Conspiracy Guy]

I stole it with reverence for the previous owner who stole it somewhere else.

[christie]

I don't see how Kerry can possibly survive after this revelation. If indeed he did make this admission. It makes him the deserter, fraud . . . that we know him to be.

Hillary to the rescue? .
