Don Wade: Kerry flipped off a Green Beret at war memorial.

[Nlighten1]

RW DJ from Chicago is making a claim that Kerry flipped off a Green Beret in front of children at the war memorial. Has anyone heard this yet?

[sniffa]

1. i heard that 2 days ago

someone sent it in an emaiL... no pic incLuded, but apparentLy there is one.

[maggrwaggr]

2. dontcha just love how they MAKE SHIT UP?

With absolutely no accountability.

Somebody needs to punch this guy's lights out.

Seriously.

[SheepyMcSheepster]

3. heard it..........

only seen it reported at news max.

no pictures? highly suspect.

the veteran was allegedly flipped off is the who gives the account i believe.

[EdGy]

4. Lying liars...

I did read this on another thread.

I seriously doubt this is true. This is part of the Right wing echo chamber of lies put out by the lying liars.

If in doubt about anything coming out of the Right Wing echo chamber, write it off as lies / propaganda.

[trotsky]

5. Only from NewsCrap

which has been known to spread conservative lies.

The "Green Beret" he supposely flipped off is a known liar who uses dangerous tactics and untruths to bring attention to the issue of MIAs. Ted Sampley is his name, I believe.

[Sparkly]

9. Yup -- the story is that Sampley confronted Kerry

said he was there to "escort" him from the wall because he didn't belong there, displayed a "Hanoi John" t-shirt, etc... Flipping the bird would be a tame response to such a stalker, if the story is even true.

13. Leboutllier has his fingerprints on this too, He was my

congressman for 2 years (uggghh), his only term, and distinguished himself by insulting prominent Dems. He's the guy who compared House Speaker Tip O'Neil to the Federal budget: Big, fat and out of control. I wonder why he wasn't re elected. Needless to say, he is a first rate asshole.

6. Debunked.

19. I figured this was BS

Because only the low level RW assholes are running with the story.

[Bridget Burke]

7. Big Holiday event--nobody had a camera?

Yeah, right.

[Neecy]

17. yup

I saw the footage of Kerry escorting family members of the man whose name was recently added to the wall, and from all appearances he was followed by news cameras from start to finish of his visit.

If this had happened, you can bet we'd be seeing it more often than the supposed "Dean scream". This guy can't go out in public without a dozen cameras recording his every move. The whole story is bullshit.

8. Previous thread on this

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=104&topic_id=1700461

If it had happened, there would be pictures. The claimant is a dedicated "Vietnam is holding thousands of POWs" looney, who hated Kerry and Clinton (and McCain) for normalizing relations with Vietnam. Any "flipping" was in his over-fevered imagination.

And the truth is, if it happened they way he said it did, Kerry would have been perfectly justified in kicking his sorry ass.

[Monte Carlo]

10. No, but I'll tell you right away that it's BS.

Claims like these about the Democratic candidate for President shouldn't even be dignified with research.

EDIT: On second thought, I have heard of this. It was from the odious Newsmax.com. Kerry supposedly flipped off Ted Sampley, a former Green Beret, who is basically a political equivalent of a suicide bomber.

He led the charges that Sen. McCain had was gay, and had a illegitimate black child during the 2000 GOP primary. He was the guy who tried to start the anti-Clinton museum in Little Rock, AR. He's a man who's on a mission, and he deserves all the crap he gets.

[gratuitous]

11. There's the story: Sampley, certified loon

Call in to Mr. Wade so that he doesn't continue to be gulled by this lie. I'm sure that as a responsible journalist, he'll be more than happy to get the story right, even though it doesn't comport with his own prejudices and bias.

Bwahahahahahaha! I crack myself up, sometimes!

[emulatorloo]

12. Emulatorloo: Why Didn't Kerry Kick Sampley In the Balls?

because let me tell you, he has it coming.

[Caution]

14. Guess what!

Some veterans are in fact complete and total assholes and act like it and DESERVE to get flipped off.

[bossfish]

16. I was about to post the same thing....

...assholes come in lots of packages. I don't mind when an candidate gets a little pissed off for the right reasons.

That's why I voted for Dean.

[madrchsod]

15. don wade

what a joke..he`d say anything for ratings..he`s made a good living in chicago saying all the right things to his adoring listeners..as for his wife roma-it`s best left unsaid..wls890-rightwing radio...

[Vickers]

18. Flipping off a Green Beret? Man, Kerry has some brass ones

:toast:

Here's to you, buddy, them GBs are some tough customers!

[Norquist Nemesis]

20. Don Wade's a partisan shill

I really do hate that man and can only stomach him for no more than 10 minutes at a pop. This morning, he threw out a strawman for everyone in relating a "story" at the WWII memorial that "they left out the most important part" of the FDR quote on the wall..."So Help Us God".

Oh yes...they've decided to co-opt FDR and start a bashing and blaming the "liberals" for not including the God part.

Don better watch out...someone may decide to throw rotten eggs at them during one of their wine tasting appearances in the area. Personally, I would like to get peaceful protest groups together at some of their appearances and set up a Left-wing DJ outside the doors of the place. We could kill two birds with one stone by circling around with signs protesting Bush and RW hate-speech. :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:
