Most impersonators did serve in some branch at some time. That's no excuse.
“I did LIE and should be driven from the ranks”.
What a gaping rectum!!
Look up “liar” in the dictionary, and you’ll find a picture of this slimy character. He was spinning so hard at his news conference he should have drilled himself into the floor.
It was disgusting to see him use old Viet Nam vets as props for this charade, showing what little respect he has for them.
What a worthless liar. I hope a real Nam vet punches him in his liar mouth.
John Kerry later claimed that his lies to Congress about participating in and witnessing war crimes in Vietnam were misspoken words from “an angry young man”.
Isn’t the real problem WHY DO DEMOCRATS LIE ???
“I Did Misspeak”
There’s alot of that going around, like when Obama said the security of Israel was his highest priority in the Middle East. Shouldn’t our elected officials should be fluent in at least one language? /sarc
To be accurate he said :”MARINE CORPS RESERVES”
He NEVER was in the REGULAR MC.
What about all the deferments?
You mis-spoke and misrepresented your service record for years. Be a man and admit it. Otherwise, get out of politics and let an honest person do the work of the people.
Lying POS.
There is something seriously creepy how he constantly smiles about this.
What a pathetic show....can you imagine what those vets would have done had he been a republican????
Nobody was impugning his service, except for himself lying about it.
His “apology” is as bad as his lie, because rather than taking responsibility, he is saying that those who pointed out his lie are “impugning his service”.
Did he also lob someone else’s medals over the White Crib fence?
April 30, 1971 - The last U.S. Marine combat units depart Vietnam.
After five deferments since 1965, Blumenthal joined the USMC in April 1970. His chances of going to Vietnam were nil.
Most impersonators did serve in some branch at some time. That's no excuse.
Therefore it's my "educated" opinion a real Marine would not have ever made such a claim even though I know he was with the Reserve. His gunny would strip him to shreds.
I hope this POS stays and this plays out over the summer...it will just be a drag on the rats...

Beck keeps asking him what specific law allows him to go after the legal bonuses given to AIG employees.
He never gives an answer.
He has to be one the slimiest politicians to come along in quite a while...He's not a very good liar
Meghan doesn’t often rile me, but when she said Blumenthal stood “in front of REAL Vietnam Vets,” I lost it. How in hell does she know whether or not they’re as phony as he is? Anyhow, that’s my take on the “support” he received. The original speaker never even mentioned his own service in Vietnam, tho he mentioned rather a few of his subsequent work on behalf of vets.
If Jim Webb was correct (back in the days when he knew the difference between truth and falsehood), over three times the number of actual Vietnam vets claim Vietnam action. That’s a scandal, and I’ll bet the wanna-be number’s up exponentially as Vietnam recedes from memory.
Will anyone investigate the foreign-war creds of those who stood behind RB? Nah.
