Kerry Gives the Bird

I honestly don't give a rat's ass, but I thought this was funny/sad as hell.

quote:
Kerry 'Flips Off' Vietnam Vet

Democratic senator - and certain presidential nominee - John F. Kerry gave the middle finger to a Vietnam veteran at the Vietnam Memorial Wall on Memorial Day morning, NewsMax.com has learned.

Ted Sampley, a former Green Beret who served two full tours in Vietnam, spotted Kerry and his Secret Service detail at about 9:00 a.m. Monday morning at the Wall. Sampley walked up to Kerry, extended his hand and said, "Senator, I am Ted Sampley, the head of Vietnam Veterans Against John Kerry, and I am here to escort you away from the Wall because you do not belong here."

At that point a Secret Service officer told Sampley to back away from Kerry. Sampley moved about 6 feet away and opened his jacket to reveal a HANOI JOHN T-shirt.

Kerry then began talking to a group of schoolchildren. Sampley then showed the T-shirt to the children and said, "Kerry does not belong at the Wall because he betrayed the brave soldiers who fought in Vietnam."

Just then Kerry - in front of the school children, other visitors and Secret Service agents - brazenly 'flashed the bird' at Sampley and then yelled out to everyone, "Sampley is a felon!"

Kerry was referring to an incident 12 years ago when Sampley confronted Sen. John McCain's chief aide, Mark Salter, in a Senate stairwell after McCain repeatedly offended POW families at a Senate POW hearing. Sampley, whose father-in-law at that time was MIA in Laos, followed Salter into the stairwell and, when they emerged, Salter had a bloody lip and a broken nose.

Sampley's group, Vietnam Veterans Against John Kerry, has garnered huge national attention and has been featured in the New York Times, the Washington Post and on MSNBC's "Scarborough Country." Tens of thousands of Vietnam vets have registered their opposition to Kerry through Sampley's group.

Clearly Sampley has gotten under Kerry's skin once again.

*sigh*

Do we have to rehash the bogusness of that Vietnam Veterans against John Kerry group again? You do realize that a number of Conservative groups find their motives and assertions questionable?

As for Kerry giving the bird, 2 things come to mind:

1. It came from Newsmax - I'm sorry, but one must always take Murdoch's news with a grain of salt.

2. If, in fact it is true, given the weak credibility of the Veterans group, the turd deserved it.

Calm down, bud. I was just posting this because, as I said, I thought it was sad and funny. I'm not trying to say anything about either person, or endorse the veterans group.

Oh come on. That depends on what the definition of is is.

I mean, sometimes a layup is just a layup.

I wish there were a picture though!

I'm calm. I'm calm.

Ahh, much better, thanks!

Newsmax isn't a real news source, and we all know it.

That's why you didn't post the link.

Posted Link

Again

Yeah, posted on conservative websites doesn't mean it didn't happen.


Posted by DaveSZ on Jun-02-2004 00:52:

This would have been picked up by some real media outlets had it truly happened, and it indeed may have.

It's just that newsmax makes up half their stories.

Well obviously that picture wouldn't be the one in question since the event purportedly occurred at the Vietnam Memorial in a crowd of kids, outdoors...

I merely posted the pic b/c it was in the Limbaugh link.

I don't know if it happened, frankly I don't care. I flip more people off driving home from work every day than most people flip off in a month, so it would be hypocritical of me to say something about him flipping off some guy that doesn't care for him. This is a stupid thread.


P.S. I love the dictionary defense. Gets 'em every time!

Here's a fun picture from this weekend's Rolling Thunder rally in DC.

Haha. Here's one of those motivational mockeries.




Maybe it's just me, but that is one canniving look in his eyes in that photo!

Ummm, a tad bit scary portrait if you ask me. Must be the lighting.

Kerry doesn't belong at the wall. He belongs as a urinal target in a VFW.

Then the drunkards in Alabama would be praying to him on a nightly basis.
