CNN's Brown Snidely Hints Purple Hearts in Iraq Will Be Suspect

[St.Chuck]

...men who get purple hearts arn't taking videos of themselves....

Actually, Mr. Kerry filmed three hours of footage while in theatre to share with friends and family. They were disappointed that he was on the footage for a mere 15 seconds.

"They'd frag him."

One always has hope.

[Horatio Gates]

One well placed Mawashi-Geri to the temple...leave him for the buzzards.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

This is exactly why the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth need to keep pressing for John Kerry to sign the SF-180.

Why don't you sign it, JFnK?

[Cboldt]

Well, Kerry did it. History does have a way of repeating itself.

Kerry was surounded by a mix, mostly honset, hard-working, hard-fighting and honest guys -- but not all of them so. I would expect that to be the case today, with the caveat that in an all volunteer force, it is more difficult to find malcontents.

[MediaMole]

This pr*ck should be given a point spot on a squad of Marines.

At the very least, he should have to switch spots with Jane Arraf -- she sounded like she was going to soil herself as she talked with Aaron Brown last night.

[Ginifer]

Aaron Brown - better hope some soldier doesn't come after him and smack some knots on his head.

[technomage]

I was one of the few that watched your show tonight

I like that jab!

My E-mail to Aaron Brownpants was much, shall we say, stronger. I doubt the little cowardly girlie man will answer mine.

[clintonh8r]

Brown's never got over the fact that he never lived up to his hype. He jumped to CNN at exactly the wrong time, just as it was about to begin its precipitous decline. Now he's become the poster boy for its poor ratings.

[blackbart.223]

"Mr. Brown is a pos."

I wouldn't rate him that high.

[lunarbicep]

I saw that same segment and thought "how pathetic". I am 100% confident that no one will ever lump the fine men and women serving in Iraq in the same category with John Kerry. The majority of American voters rejected John Kerry because he turned his back on the U.S. once and couldn't be trusted NOT to do it again. Get over it Aaron, you're just another reason CNN is never on in my house!

[eagle11]

I didn't know Mr. Brown knew Kerry's purple hearts are fake.

[Sloth]

Well, Brown is a jackass, but he's right. If one of those guys runs for Pres, people will say his medal(s) were unearned. And Aaron Brown will probably be one of those people, since the soldier would probably be a Republican.

[lizma]

How clueless can you get?

Lately I've learned how Goebbels succeeded and why Stalin called these people "useful idiots".

Just amazes me that these people have NEVER stopped to read history.

[raptor29]

Oh, I think that's a good start. POS fits.

Also, I doubt any of our Marines in Iraq are pulling a rice kernal out of their ass and claiming Purple Heart rights as a result. What a POS Aaron Brown is. See, it fits.

[jimsaa]

I have lived in the Seattle area for over 30 years. Brown was a local news reader for many years prior to moving to MSNBC. He had a reputation in the local area as an egotistical poof as the Brits say.

[Sloth]

Do we all need to be reminded of this example?

[Tax Government]

CNN has as much relevance to our nation's political life, as Home Shopping Network.

[RasterMaster]

The soldiers in Iraq tend to reinlist rather than cut & run after 3 1/2 months of combat and bandaid wounds. The veterans returning from Iraq after honorable service won't get spit on, like Kerry and his fellow traitors did to Vietnam Vets.

[Soul Seeker]

They have always questioned the heroics of Republicans. G.H.B. and Dole included.

The difference this election was that the questioning led to the realization Kerry's heroic status was nothing but a self advanced myth. Aaron is understandably bitter that they STILL lack a legitimate war hero that espouses liberal doctrine. Powell comes closest to their dream, and he chose to align himself with Republicans. LOL
