Kerry has twisted his record into so many circles he now has a section on his own website called the “DBunker” to set the record straight. The problem is it is adding to the confusion.
During a war protest Senator Waffles threw somebody’s Vietnam medals over the Whitehouse fence in protest. At the time he claimed they were his. Later the story broke that they were not his, that he pocketed his medals and threw either replicas or someone else’s medals. The story keeps changing depending on who is is talking to.
Kerry put the issue thru his “DBunker” to debunk the “Rightwing Fiction” as he calls it:
Throwing Vietnam Medals
UPDATED 4.23.04
RIGHTWING FICTION: John Kerry threw away his medals during a Vietnam war protest.
FACT: John Kerry is proud of the work he did to end the Vietnam war. The Nixon Administration made John Kerry one of its targets and Kerry’s rightwing opponents have been smearing him ever since. John Kerry threw his ribbons and the medals of two veterans who could not attend the event, and said
Great piece, Paul.
Boston talk show host Howie Carr has been all over MedalGate for a couple years now. I’m glad to see it get the national attention it deserves.
But could you please, PLEASE go back and edit your piece and replace “metal” with “medal?” The typo is driving me nuts.

And now if the Powers That Be will just delete this comment and the previous one, all traces of that annoying typo will cease to exist.

aaaaaaarggggg!
The fact that I spelled it wrong was just a left wing lie. I actually spelled it right before I went back and spelled it wrong.
-Thanks- My brain was in a bucket I guess.
“What metal? There is no metal, and there never was any metal! And even had there been any metal here, which there was not, we would have gloriously beaten it’s stomach with our shoes! Anyone who says there was any metal here is a seriously, criminally deranged and psychopathic racist!”
So THAT’S what happened to the Iraqi Information Minister…
J.
I started to do that but what the hell, we all opps.
I’m not going to pull a Kerry over it.
And how dare George Bush and the Republicans complain about Paul’s spelling when Dan Qualye can’t even spell “potatoe”?
Heh,heh.. The right doesn’t even have to discredit him. Good ole’ Waffles handles it all by himself. Sometimes he’s for himself, sometimes he’s against himself. ;o)
