More Drudge desperation: Kerry 'reenacted' war scenes

[LTR]

Oh brother!

Like Kerry was planning to run for president in 1968, and dummied up some phony war footage.

Just how stupid do the Republicans think people are?

CONTROVERSY SURROUNDS KERRY CONVENTION FILM: WAR SCENES REENACTED

**World Exclusive**

A bombshell new book written by the man who took over John Kerry's Swift Boat charges: Kerry reenacted combat scenes for film while in Vietnam!

The footage is at the center of a growing controversy in Boston.

The official convention video introducing Kerry is directed by Steven Spielberg protégé James Smoll.

Sorry for the Drudge link, but this shit needs debunking.

1. In addition

He was a friggin' kid then. So what if he took along a camera? Is there really a problem with that?

13. If I were Rove, I'd be careful about bringing up soldiers with cameras.

2. We laugh but how long before it's on CNN, MSNBC, Faux, NBC, CBS, ABC

The Corporate Media will mention it...you wait and see.

This country is going down the tubes.

5. to quote carlin....

... "what tubes? You'd think somebody would have seen tubes around here some where. 'hey man look at those tubes!'"

3. It is OK. Bush* can show us the reenactment of his Vietnam experience.n/t

[Bush was AWOL]

4. Who? John O'Neil? The man has ZERO credibility

[nyhuskyfan]

6. In fairness,

Bush faked his footage of that one trip to the dentist -- those scenes of him spitting into the sink were completely staged.

[Bush was AWOL]

9. this is a very old story

the people, including DUers, who are the Skull and Bones experts, and the thrown medals enthusiasts, also have pushed the story about Kerry faking footage. It started a long time ago on the internet, way before the primaries.

[Bush was AWOL]

10. Yeah, well is it true?

Not that it matters because even if he did, he was still risking his life. And, he would not have a political future if he was dead. Stupid article by drudge that will unfortunately get a lot of attention.

[Canuckistanian]

11. Didn't they try this before?

It went nowhere, as I remember. Where's the scandal? He WAS there. He DID see action in Vietnam. He REENACTED his combat experiences?

Big deal. This is the best they've got?

12. Drudge is under direct command of Reich Fuhrer Rove

I'm actually surprised Drudge has gone so completely partisan so quickly, so far from the election. He's obviously caught up in the general state of right-wing panic as the allied forces begin to close in. However, Drudge's hair-brained, quickly debunked Kerry-and-the-intern scandal has pretty much flushed away any residual credibility he may have had after his famous Clinton poop scoop.

14. Okay, repeat after me ....

... these guys DID NOT SERVE with Kerry. The men who DID serve with Kerry are on the stage next to him at the Democratic Convention. These so-called swift boat jerks are bought and paid for by the RNC. The same committee who tried to impune and smear Clark's service. The same guys who tried to smear McCain's service. The same committee who hid Bush's NG service records.

See salon.com for a good article on the background of these guys ...

Rmb, the only good vet is a neo-con REPUBLICAN vet to these guys.

All Kerry has to say is "I am not going to let this administration smear my service like they tried to do with my good friend John McCain."

[annxburns]

15. And ya know what? Drudge will do this for the next 100 days.

You should of SEEN the crap he threw at Gore. Some of it sticks - some of it doesn't. But always remember, Drudge is the scumbag that implied that Kerry was having an affair. He burned the big media bigtime on that crap. I wish they wouldn't jump every time he said how high, but they will. Kerry just needs to get his rapid response team ready. So far, they seem to be getting in gear ...
