Missing The Point

John Kerry stooge Thomas Oliphant misses the point.

"Some people have written secondhand accounts of that day stating that Kerry at that moment also threw "medals" that had been given to him by a couple of vets who were not there. I remember Kerry doing that later in the day after the event had broken up. He was in the company, for part of that time, of a small group of Gold Star Mothers (who had lost sons in the war). In addition to the events involving the military decorations, the veterans also held a tree-planting ceremony near the Capitol and attended congressional hearings on civilian casualties of the conflict.

From what I could observe firsthand about Friday, April 23, 1971, Kerry did not make even the slightest effort to pretend that he was throwing all of his military decorations over that fence. He did what he did in plain view, and in my case in the view of someone close enough to kick him in the shins."

While Kerry thowing medals or ribbons or whatever over the wall is an issue in and of itself, the problem is that Kerry has lied routinely about what happened that day, tailoring the story to whomever his audience was. The problem is that, when one puts them side by side, it's clear that Kerry is a liar.
