Sounds like she nailed him pretty accurately;
Quote: | The recipient of three Purple Hearts without a limp didn't just show disrespect for the vets by giving them the finger on Saturday, September 15, 2007.
When the camera wasn't trained on him, he showed us the real Senator John Kerry and with his crude finger gesture told us the contempt he harbors for the genuine hero known as the American soldier. |

I'm as prepared as anyone here to blast Kerry given the opportunity, but corroboration of this allegation appears to be painfully thin to non-existent.
I've looked at the GOE forum and do not see the post referred to in the commentary above ("When is it Appropriate?"...might it have been name-changed or deleted?), nor do I see any corroboration of the alleged gesture from anyone else purportedly present.
What does appear there and appears to address the allegation is a post entitled "Gathering of Eagles, John McCain, John Kerry", but that topic does not offer corroboration either.
Am I missing something else there?
Until this allegation is shown to have some better foundation, I'm moving it to the Geedunk forum.
edit: I went back to the GOE forum to look around a bit more and found this in the "Media" forum...
Quote: | I was 6 feet from Kerry, looking at him eye to eye, when he flipped us off! I was standing behind a poster that said "Blue Star Mom for Victory". If only I had my camera on. Most of the cameras had been cut-off after McCann left - what a shame!

Given at least this minimal corroboration, I'm moving this back to the main forum. Pity there is no photo-documentation. |

As I recall, there was some allegations of this conduct from Kerry in 2004, but no photos or other corroboration.
I don't think it is out of character for him to flip off any opposing him and his self-serving attitude.
Sooner or later, a photo has to show up. _________________ Clark County Conservative |

I dunno Lew...I suppose so...but I remain highly skeptical of anecdotal allegations such as this.

Perhaps it will, but not if Kerry is in possession of, at least, the good sense that God gives a turnip. |
