On his show today, Don Imus said he visited Walter Reed with Sen. McCain and asked Kerry if he has visited there. Kerry answered that he had, "many times". Question: has he?

The only thing I could find on Google (using "Walter" and "Reed" and "John Kerry" and "visit" as search terms) was an inconclusive thread discussing this at http://209.157.64.200/focus/f-news/1207556/posts. I went to www.johnkerry.com and used the search engine there, using the same search terms. Again nothing, and I assume that everything on his web site was searched. If he had visited Walter Reed, do you think "Live Shot" Kerry would have passed up the chance to make this a media event?

Cuda and WebTalk brought this up on another thread, and I figured it was worth making a new topic here. This could be another opportunity to show Kerry is still making up and exploiting lies about his "concern" for vets in order to promote himself, while once again we might have more proof he is a pathological liar, unfit for command.

But of course, like Dennis Miller, I could be wrong. If you know whether Lurch actually did so the rounds at Walter Reed, please reply.

He's made this claim, before, but I can't imagine him visiting soldiers without an entourage of photographers.

He doesn't do ANYTHING that isn't calculated for his own advantage.

"Many" visits? Not very bloody likely.

If I were a patient at WRAMC, and Kerry walked through, I'd call him over to my bedside, and ask him if he'd do a favor for me... something useful.... like, "GO EMPTY MY BEDPAN!"

I hate to ask because these soldiers have been through enough -- but does anyone know anyone at Walter Reed who could confirm the number of Kerry visits?

I wonder if the Kerry campaign would give a straight answer to the dates and times of his many visits to Walter Reed if asked point-blank?

Maybe somebody even in the MSM might know? the blogs?

It would be great to nail Kerry on this one.

I hope he has not been going, the poor little darlings don't need that sh-t.

Here's exactly what Kerry said about his having visited the wounded at Walter Reed:

Johnny would have made it front page news on his Campaign Site if he had.
Even H. Clinton went and visited the Wounded, it was not a media circus, but you knew she was there and talked about it afterwards.

Can you give me the link to where there is that post about a Boston newspaper article in May 2004 referencing a visit by Kerry to Walter Reed?

I went to both the Boston Globe's and the Boston Herald's web sites and searched through their archives databases, and I got zero nada zilch using the following search terms: john kerry walter reed hospital.

If either paper (and those are the only two I know of in Boston) had an article about a Kerry visit to Walter Reed, it ought to have shown up in those searches.

Okay, so he was there, but did he really visit any troops or injured or maimed soldiers?

Perhaps he was there but never visited anyone. They would be just like him. Anytime something happens in a 100 mile radius around him, it might as well have happened to him. BECAUSE he likes to claim credit for anything he feels will be of any political value.
