 Kerry spokesman stripped of Silver Star

by Thomas Lifson

John F. Kerry almost became president running on the basis of his alleged heroism in Vietnam. Thanks to the efforts of a group of truth-tellers, the Swiftboat Veterans for Truth, the serious holes in the fantasy narrative propounded by the Kerry campaign came to the attention of enough Americans that John Kerry was not the first faux-Irish President of the United States.

One of Kerry's enablers in propounding his imaginary heroism was a man named Wade Sanders, who himself held a Silver Star, and who introduced Kerry to the Democratic Convention. Scott Swett, who was central to the unraveling of the Kerry storyline, tells us that the Kerry enabler has been exposed for what he is. His Winter Soldier site has the details:

John Kerry was introduced at the 2004 Democratic National Convention by Wade Sanders, a retired Navy Captain and former Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Navy who served as a Swift Boat officer in Vietnam. Like Kerry, Sanders was the recipient of a Silver Star for gallantry in action. During the 2004 campaign, Sanders functioned as Kerry lead attack dog against the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, repeatedly denouncing the veterans on the air as liars and comparing them to Nazi propagandists.

Wade Sanders is now in Federal prison, serving a 37-month sentence for possessing child pornography. Now the Navy Times reports that Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus has revoked Sanders' Silver Star. The highly unusual decision appears unrelated to Sanders' felony conviction. A Navy spokesman cited "subsequently determined facts and evidence surrounding both the incident for which the award was made and the processing of the award itself." John Kerry has to be hoping this doesn't become a trend.

As one might imagine, the media has ignored this story. Even the Navy Times declined to post its own article online.

Those democrats are a good bunch eh???

I hope your observations are right about Obama's handlers, however the liberal progressive democrat machine

would never give up a president no matter how bad he might be suffering in the poles. As evidence I give you Bill Clinton.

Ooops!  You must have found a different source for the same article, or you named it different - sorry!  lol My error!

I should have read the first of it instead of the last of it. I do apologize.

Not from ALL the media. Thought you would like to see this: http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2011/07/kerry_spokesman_strippe...

In particular, read the comments from the people who answer this article from American Thinker. Kerry just had the wrong handlers, I guess.  Wish we could say the same for 0vomit, however I think more and more that his handlers have abandoned him because he is a real loose cannon, and now he has been left hanging on the clothes line with the rain coming down!  And I hope it blows up a cyclone!

Had Kerry been able to completely bury his history (like Obama) he would have been able to create an imaginary persona that would have gotten him elected.
