Man, those anti-Kerry types sure are classy...

How lovely. :rolleyes:

This has nothing to do with class.

If he wants to hold up his 4 months of service against Bush fine.

If he wants to hold up his 4 months of service with his medals against other veterans, then that's a different story.

Stop trying to make this into something it's not. There are no large scale protests with people burning pictures of Kerry and accosting him.

How classy! :rolleyes: That is so tacky!

Maybe John Kerry can get a bandaid with a huge purple heart, so that he can put it on his back - that is if he becomes president, they'll have to give him a backbone.

:rolleyes: roll this :rolleyes:

Now guys, John Kerry says that he CAN win the war on terrorism.

SSS1365 08-31-2004 03:00 PM

Yes, this is exactly the same thing the anti-Bush people were doing.

:rolleyes:

Just out of curiousity, anyone know what Kerry's wounds were?

KillarneyRose 08-31-2004 03:47 PM

I think the behavior of those sporting the purple heart bandages is reprehensible.

No veteran or active-duty military member that I know of has any sort of issue with Kerry extolling his war record and it is sickening that anyone would make light of it. For the record, it's his behavior after returning from Vietnam that has veterans up in arms (so to speak)

Whenever I would see rowdy liberal demonstrators taking cheap shots at the convervatives I would sometimes think that it would refreshing to see the tables turned. But now that I *have* seen it, I don't like it. Two wrongs don't make a right and all that jazz.

Wounds to the arm and to the buttocks. The arm is cited in reports from the third purple heart incident as being wounded from a mine explosion. The buttocks are slightly hazy with a possible accident he had with a grenade. Regardless of whether it was an accident or enemy fire, the purple heart can still be given for it.

That's true. A number of guys from Vietnam got their free ride home and a Purple Heart for shooting their own toes off. Purposely.

But, back to Kerry, one of those who support his awards pointed out recently that the arm injury could just as easily been a bullet through the heart under the circumstances.

wreckingcrew 08-31-2004 04:00 PM

Sorry, that's a bit different.

If these bandages mock the military, what about the boxes draped with flags a la military coffins the Anti-Bush types carried down the streets in their protests? You know what? that actually looked similar to another group that i've seen do that often.

I'm glad the Anti-Kerry types aren't emulating the Palestinians, but that's just a personal preference.

So they were wearing bandages on the floor of the convention. Far cry from telling someone to "go home and kill their babies" or pushing middle-aged women around.(see my thread if you dont' know what i'm talking about) Not to mention injuring policemen who are there to protect the public.

And i'm sure there were worse signs, hats, etc in the DNC mocking Bush. Turnabout is fair play.

What? It was from mine shrapnel and was cut...when did it become a bullet? Was it a bullet?

I've got flip flops on today, and I nearly wiped out on them so I could follow him around beating my flip-flops together while you chant.

please tell me where in that thread i stated that i would be leaving GC, never to return.

OH, it's not in there is it? Shucks, guess y'all are going to have to put up with me a bit longer. Course, i shouldn't blame someone of your persuasion for being a little bit off in facts, that's Kerry's MO, isn't it?

Despite what some believe, H&A had no part in me deciding to take a hiatus from GC.

But seriously, no rebuttal to my post on this thread? only some weak smack on my posting frequencies? I'm disappointed in the H&A, i expected more.

btw, please relate to me how my posting tendencies have anything to do with what i posted earlier.

I guess if you can't argue the message, you attack the messenger.

I certainly hope this was directed at Kitso, who was attacking us. I only attacked the lady with the bad chin, and I would have mocked her if she was a Democrat too.

I was just confused because I thought he was gone, and he's the one who called me a mean biatch. I asked him to please correct me if I was wrong, and instead he launches a personal attack on me. This makes me very sad. I will pray for kitso so that he will not be quite as angry.
