For that matter banging a drum in anyone's face seems a bit nuts. Or maybe too much like the Westboro Baptists who spew hate in order to incite attacks so they can sue.
Even the Westboro morons don't attack children, then lie about it to the media, blame the innocent children as aggressors, while playing the victim-and foment violence against children. Westboro is scum-but Phillips takes it to a whole new level.

I hope that there is just one journalist out there with the integrity to call out this lying POS and expose him as the thug and liar he is, in all regards.

I find it hard to believe that you don't understand that.
So if he had served in Viet Nam then everything is forgiven?

I didn't say that.

You are putting words in my mouth.

I doubt anyone who really served in Vietnam would be beating a drum in a child's face.

I also doubt anyone why really served in Vietnam would be telling anyone else what they should or should not believe or be doing.

I don't know what lies did the other poster tell. You seem overreacted.

Engaging with the other protesters is not a crime.

First of all, The Kentucky students were there for the Right To Life march. While waiting for their bus, a group called Hebrew Black or something like that started harassing and taunting pretty much everyone. This is what started the whole mess. It was videoed and can be found if you are interested in the facts.

The "real" racists were the ones cursing, swearing, shouting obscenities. Yes, the Kentucky kids could have handled it differently, but they did not start it. If they hadn't been wearing MAGA caps, this would have been a page 10 story.

No that was what I was saying -- that was my point.

I was clarifying. You were right -- the first time it suggested that comparing someone who served in Viet Nam had the same challenges. That wasn't my point.

My point was -- debating where he served is irrelevant in this whole situation.

That's all.

Credibility matters.

If he misled people on purpose, then yes, his credibility would be questioned.

He did indeed say he was a Recon/Ranger which is not a valid military position. Why did a reservist have to pretend to be some kind of special force guy? You tell me. If he could lie about this, he probably has lied about other things, example, he heard the kids shouting, "build the wall, build the wall."

So hypothetical -- if he had been to Viet Nam that changes everything?

No I didn't think so.
You seriously see no difference if he served overseas in a war or repaired refrigerators in California...….?

It has already been determined that the events weren't as originally cited by the original post that went viral.

It doesn't matter. What he said in the past, in public says a lot about his credibility/character.

He said in the past, “When I come home, those times, I got spit on, actually spit on, and called a baby-killer,” Phillips said. lol You don't think his words are purposely misleading?

“You know, I’m from Vietnam times. I’m what they call a recon ranger,” he said. “That was my role.” There is no such a thing as recon ranger. Plus, "that" was not his role.

I don't think you understand the point I was making. If he could lie about his military service, you have to wonder what else he has lied. For example, he said he heard the kids shouting, "build the wall, build the wall." I think this is b.s. nothing more.
