Brainchild of Rove's mentor...

13. That REALLY pissed me off

Kerry's awards were valid and legitimate.

And instead of a band-aid for my Purple Heart, I got 18 months in the hospital and a partial disability retirement from the Army...and more surgery later.

It's probably best that I don't post what I really think of those faux-patriot mutherfuckers...

18. I hear you brother

I didn't have the time to contemplate my leg wound, I was too damn busy patching up wounded Marines, I pulled the shrapnel out, slapped a field dressing on it and kept going.
Those band aid purple hearts I saw during the Kerry campaign pissed me off to no end, I thought, how dare they belittle a man who earned his medals the hard way, as you and I did.

Fuck them and the horse they rode in on.

8. Welcome to DU! Thank you for your service!

You can google 'kerry' and 'purple heart band aid' in google images to see what the utter pieces of shit at the 2004 Repuke Convention did to besmirch the Armed Services.

Either or...

3. amen.

that was so despicable.

[CTyankee]

6. payback time! I've waited 8 years for this delicious moment!

We should all double down now and not let up.

[RagAss]

15. Me too. "We forgive nothing !"

[pinboy3niner]

10. It may require some acid (no, not THAT kind of acid)

Those things can be pretty sticky.

[Chorophyll]

12. Yes. I will never forget that.

It was one of the most vile displays of Rethuggery I've ever seen.

However, we should take the flip-flop hand motion back from them. We can use it for Romney.

[11 Bravo]

17. And shove them straight up their mother-fucking asses! I happen to rate two of those "band-aids"...

myself, and I can't remember being more enraged then I was the night I witnessed a bunch of puffy-faced, lard assed pigs mocking the award that John Kerry paid for with blood.

[RagAss]

19. My dad was a WWII medic....

And it was his last year alive when he saw those pig faced motherfuckers mocking the honor of the Purple Heart. It broke his heart and put unfathomable hate in mine for those filthy scumbags.

Fuck those motherfuckers !! I think of them as lower than rats.
