Someone is lying....still?

Aug 2, 2016 7:47PM PDT
You know something very nice just happened to me. A man came up to me, and he handed me his Purple Heart. Now I said to him, is that like the real one or is that a copy? And he said “That’s my real Purple Heart.

However...
The man, however, told NBC News before the rally that it was actually a copy of his Purple Heart.


TheRUMP was truthful about one thing though...he received the "Purple Heart" the easy way.....

He Always WANTED A Purple Heart Medal?

Go out join the military and EARN IT!!!!!

It's too late for him to do that now....and when he was "medically fit"...He had his nose in the books and busy getting deferments...

Discussion is locked

but also avoided via help from friends.....(Bill Clinton and Barack Obama)

THEY also avoided lying about the circumstances of receiving a Purple Heart.

I wonder if TheRUMP will have it on display in Trump Tower....Underneath a HHUUUGGGEEE sign..."I EARNED THIS!!!!" or "I earned this in the campaign of 2016"

TheRUMP even had to lie about what the donor said......Something like it being the Real McCoy I'm paraphrasing here so PLEEASE don't jump on me.

of Trump with that serviceman with the medal. http://www.usatoday.com/videos/news/politics/elections/2016/2016/08/02/87960402/

Now why do you think that NBC would have reason to interview this man BEFORE a Trump rally when Trump didn't even receive it until just before the rally? Something isn't adding up here with a timeline, and I'm not trusting NBC's slant on this. there would be no reason for Trump to make a point that he asked the man if it was a copy or real and then lie about it knowing the man was not only coming up on stage but that the man had already had an interview (or could have one immediately after leaving the stage) with NBC or any other media outlet and change the story. This is supposedly a Trump supporter, so why would he go out of his way to now make him out to be a liar immediately before or after the giving of the gift? Even YOU have to recognize NBC bull in this one, JP, since no other media outlet has tried to interview this man and has only repeated the NBC 'story'.

open letter to hilLIARy since she also had Khan on her stage, fully 12 YEARS after his son was killed defending our liberties and freedoms. Where was he for the last Presidential elections? As long as we had a president who has consistently been sympathetic to Muslims (and all of the radical Islamic terrorists ARE Muslims) and doesn't differentiate between them until recently, Khan was perfectly happy to not be used by either party. He only came to be on that stage because of Trump's stance on not allowing refugees into this country that our own Defense Department says can't be vetted and that stance is completely against the Dem/liberal agenda or he STILL wouldn't have been on that stage. Where was he when McCain was running and in 'full support' of our military? Where was he when GWB was running for his second term and Dems were already crawling as fast as they could slither away from both wars? And, IF he really believed anything he was saying, how could he possibly support a woman who deliberately allowed the murders of four Americans? His SON was and still IS a hero.....the father isn't even worthy of credibility.

Slightly hypocritical, doncha think?

was "Someone is lying....still?"

Any possibility that you can admit that NBC is the one that lied regarding this 'story'? I suggested it in my post, and you didn't respond to it. Can you now?

NBC did NOT lie.

You want me to respond...OK...and someone could still be lying...At the approx 1:20 minute mark...2 Purple Heart Medals...original in his pocket...showing a COPY....yada, yada

Where DID NBC get the idea it was a "copy"?

The man, however, told NBC News before the rally that it was actually a copy of his Purple Heart. ...

Right from the Lt Cols mouth.

Aug 5, 2016 5:23AM PDT

Which "lie" did I pass on?

The "lie/story" that the Lt Col told....I have this Purple Heart Medal (the one I'm now showing you) and I'm going to give to Donald Jesse Trump...

Well I'm not giving him THIS medal....I'm giving him the one I'm hiding in my pocket...that I don't want anyone to know about because someone might steal it.

Lt Col is also a "liar"?

- Collapse -
He actually explained the one in his pocket
Aug 5, 2016 7:51AM PDT

He showed NBC the copy and said "I'm not giving him THIS medal....I'm giving him the one I'm hiding in my pocket...that I don't want anyone to know about because someone might steal it." I don't know how NBC interpreted ANY of that statement to mean he was keeping the COPY in his pocket because he was afraid it would get stolen....the one you value the most is the one you are afraid would get stolen, which means the REAL one was in his pocket and that the one being shown to NBC was the COPY that he told them he WASN'T giving to Trump. And yet, NBC chose to LIE about his statement and say that the one given to Trump was the COPY.

How hard is it for you to admit that NBC LIED and that Trump and Lt. Colonel Dorfman were telling the TRUTH?

I don't 'go dark', JP.....I'm picking and choosing your drivel that I decide to respond to and unlike you, I'm not sitting on the edge of my chair waiting for you to respond in order to reply. I actually have things to do and come back every so often to see what garbage you will try to spew next and decide if it's worthy of an answer from me.

HE DID?...THAT was something I posted...one of my "scenarios" NOT his words until AFTER he gave a "medal" to TheRUMP.

HE NEVER said THAT...I said it in MY post...I was saying what he SHOULD have explained when he was "showing his stuff"...WITHOUT telling WHERE he was hiding his "stuff".

Telling where a person hides things kinda' defeats the purpose of hiding it don't you think?

He was a Lt. Col? Give him a bit of credit Toni....

stated that Trump lied because NBC said so.........turns out it was NBC that lied, and I said that, but you still can't bring yourself to admit it.

This is exactly the reason that any conversations with you end up the way they do, JP......you twist and turn in the wind trying to defend your crap or accuse others of not being able to prove their points and when they do, you continue with your bull babble.

Admit NBC lied and that you bought into that lie, and we can finally end this.

RE:Admit NBC lied
Aug 5, 2016 11:36AM PDT

IF NBC lied...THEN the Lt Col lied. And a person is only a liar IF/WHEN they know it is a lie.

IF you think NBC lied...Are you admitting the Lt Col lied?

Do you actually believe the Lt Col told the whole truth, and nothing but the truth to NBC and others BEFORE he gave the "medal" to Donald?

So careful to "hide the medal" then go flashing it around?

I'm showing you (NBC) this Purple Heart Medal (a fake one, the real one is hidden in my pant pocket) A big DUH!!!! to the Lt Col.

Do you want to see my hiding spot?...You'll NEVER find, it's right over here.


RE:Your original post stated that Trump lied because NBC said so

Someone is lying....still?

NO...I suggested(note the ?) someone is lying.

A Lt Col gives you a HIS Purple Heart and the first words out of your mouth are ....Is it real? Tsk, tsk, tsk.

Point to ANYTHING
Aug 5, 2016 1:31PM PDT

in the NBC story where Lt. Colonel Dorfman lied to them. He SAID what he was showing them was the copy and that the original was in his pocket. BUT the story NBC put out was that he gave Trump the copy. NBC lied, Trump and Dorfman did not.

How many times does that have to be said before YOU comprehend it, JP?

It doesn't matter what Trump asked him about if it was real....what does matter is that it IS according to the one giving it and his statements confirming that.

I'm done........because you keep choking on the admission that NBC lied and that Trump and Dorfman were not.

Point to ANYTHING in the NBC story where Lt. Colonel Dorfman lied to them.

OK

NBC News correspondent Katy Tur tweeted that the veteran told her before the rally that the Purple Heart was actually a duplicate, The Hill reported.

That's ALL I could find referencing the authentication of the Purple Heart Medal on NBC....was reference to a "tweet".

And here is the tweet.

The man who gave Trump his purple heart told me earlier today, it was a copy of his purple heart.

NO Headlines on NBC....Just a "tweet"

Perhaps she has been hanging around TheRUMP too long....He loves to "tweet"......

The only mention of having a backup medal in his pocket was AFTER the "presentation".....That's their story and they're sticking to it.

You will now provide a link showing NBC blasting Trump and the Lt Col for accepting and passing off a fake Purple Heart.....WITHOUT them mentioning a "tweet".

OR maybe you won't.

YOU posted this in your original post....

"You know something very nice just happened to me. A man came up to me, and he handed me his Purple Heart. Now I said to him, is that like the real one or is that a copy? And he said “That’s my real Purple Heart.

However...

NOWHERE in your link FROM NBC news does it state that NBC was using a TWEETED reference for their LIE.....NBC stated that 'the man, however, told NBC News before the rally that it was actually a copy of HIS Purple Heart."

NOW, read that sentence again, and it directly states that DORFMAN, the MAN, told them that it was a copy of HIS medal.....not that a TWEETER told NBC that Dorfman told the TWEETER that it was a copy. NBC LIED, JP.........THEY never talked to Dorfman but printed the story as if they did.

You just can't bring yourself to choke on your own crap story, can you? For someone who DEMANDS factual statements made in SE from everyone who posts, you sure fell apart on your own.
