Who was the person

[rwork]

that stood up in the middle of Scott McClellan's press briefing and began yelling about Kerry throwing his medal's on the Whitehouse lawn. This came out of no where when the press was hammering Scott about bush's*AWOL issue. Anyone know? Maybe a Fox correspondent?

1. Who ever that was....

were they doing it as though to say he was a bad sailor or that they were proud of his protest?
I am proud of anybody who threw back their medals over the wall during that horrible war.

2. I wasn't watching, but I'm willing to bet real money it was Les Kensolving

3. A FOX whore.

That was obviously a FOX plant. He looked like an idiot, and the rest of the press corps ignored his idiocy and went back to the issue at hand.

4. Some of these right wing people seem to think

That a person should treat medals and flags better than the people who serve in the military. Medals are nothing but a symbol, and I heard that Kerry only threw away his ribbons not the medals.Lots of medals are left on the wall (vietnam memorial) and headstones in the cemetery. Many are thrown in drawers for decades and some end up in antique stores. These are not sacred items and the guy who wins them can do #$%^&& well what they want with them.

5. Ribbons not medals,

I understood John Kerry to say in an interview, some time in the last few weeks, He threw His ribbons, and still has his medals, which he respects and would never throw away.
