Malkin had 12 obvious chances to be clear and REFUSED. Here they are.

[LoZoccolo]

I posted this in another thread but it had so many replies I was afraid it would get lost. She and other people say that Chris Matthews put words in her mouth, and yet she had 12 chances to be perfectly clear with a yes or no answer, and chose not to.

MATTHEWS: What do you mean by self-inflicted? Are you saying he shot himself on purpose? Is that what you‘re saying?

SHE COULD HAVE SAID IT HERE.

MALKIN: Did you read the book...

MATTHEWS: I‘m asking a simple question. Are you saying that he shot himself on purpose.

SHE COULD HAVE SAID IT HERE.

MALKIN: I‘m saying some of these soldiers...

MATTHEWS: And I‘m asking question.

SHE COULD HAVE SAID IT HERE.

MALKIN: And I‘m answering it.

MATTHEWS: Did he shoot himself on purpose.

SHE COULD HAVE SAID IT HERE.

MALKIN: Some of the soldiers have made allegations that these were self-inflicted wounds.

MATTHEWS: No one has ever accused him of shooting himself on purpose.

MALKIN: That these were self-inflicted wounds.

MATTHEWS: Your saying there are—he shot himself on purpose, that‘s a criminal act?

SHE COULD HAVE SAID IT HERE.

MALKIN: I‘m saying that I‘ve read the book and some of the...

(CROSSTALK)

MATTHEWS: I want an answer yes or no, Michelle.

SHE COULD HAVE SAID IT HERE. HE SPECIFICALLY ASKED FOR A YES OR NO.

MALKIN: Some of the veterans say...

MATTHEWS: No. No one has every accused him of shooting himself on purpose.

MALKIN: Yes. Some of them say that.

MATTHEWS: Tell me where that...

MALKIN: Self-inflicted wounds—in February, 1969.

RIGHT THERE SHE IMPLIES SELF-INFLICTED WOUNDS AND PURPOSEFULLY SHOOTING YOURSELF TO BE THE SAME THING.

MATTHEWS: This is not a show for this kind of talk. Are you accusing him of shooting himself on purpose to avoid combat or to get credit?

SHE COULD HAVE SAID IT HERE.

MALKIN: I‘m saying that‘s what some of these...

MATTHEWS: Give me a name.

MALKIN: Patrick Runyan (ph) and William Zeldonaz (ph).

MATTHEWS: They said—Patrick Runyan...

MALKIN: These people have...

MATTHEWS: And they said he shot himself on purpose to avoid combat or take credit for a wound?

SHE COULD HAVE SAID IT HERE.

MALKIN: These people have cast a lot of doubt on whether or not...

MATTHEWS: That‘s cast a lot of doubt. That‘s complete nonsense.

MALKIN: Did you read the section in the book...

MATTHEWS: I want a statement from you on this program, say to me right, that you believe he shot himself to get credit for a purpose of heart.

MALKIN: I‘m not sure. I‘m saying...

MATTHEWS: Why did you say?

MALKIN: I‘m talking about what‘s in the book.

MATTHEWS: What is in the book. Is there—is there a direct accusation in any book you‘ve ever read in your life that says John Kerry ever shot himself on purpose to get credit for a purple heart? On purpose?

SHE COULD HAVE SAID IT HERE.

MALKIN: On.

MATTHEWS: On purpose? Yes or no, Michelle.

SHE COULD HAVE SAID IT HERE. HE SPECIFICALLY ASKED FOR A YES OR NO.

MALKIN: In the February 1969 -- in the February 1969 event.

MATTHEWS: Did he say on it purpose.

SHE COULD HAVE SAID IT HERE.

MALKIN: There are doubts about whether or not it was intense rifle fire or not. And I wish you would ask these questions of John Kerry instead of me.

MATTHEWS: I have never heard anyone say he shot himself on purpose.

I haven‘t heard you say it.

MALKIN: Have you tried to ask—have you tried ask John Kerry these questions?

MATTHEWS: If he shot himself on purpose. No. I have not asked him that.

MALKIN: Don‘t you wonder?

MATTHEWS: No, I don‘t. It‘s never occurred to me.

Look, thank you Mayor Brown. We‘ll stay with Michelle Malkin.

Feel free to use and pass this around.

1. Don't you wonder if Bush is a rapist? Don't you wonder?

I'm not sure if he is or not. Some people said....somewhere....did you read the book?

Why doesn't somebody ask Bush when he stopped being a rapist?

[LoZoccolo]

3. Why hasn't he said he didn't rape a 15 year-old...

...and that he didn't force her to have an abortion before it was legal?
