'America's Got Talent': Timothy Michael Poe's Afghanistan Combat Injury In Question (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/06/06/americas-got-talent-timothy-michael-poe-combat-record_n_1573384.html?flv=1)

My mother was sick when I was developing in her womb which caused some brain damage to me. This affected my speech and coordination. I had a tough time of it the first few years growing up near Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Had trouble in high school too until a great High School English teacher--Barbara Mitchell-- challenged me to read very heavy books like Anna Karenina and gave me a very small Scholarship in the name of her recently murdered daughter-- Michelle Mitchell.

This Tim Poe contestant really irks me with these lies about stuttering and the like as well as his false claims about injuries in war service.

I worked my butt off to and got through law school at the University of Minnesota Law School (Class of 1989) despite trying to hide a speech problem. I still get tongue tied at times even now.

I was so disappointed to find out he lied. Shame on him!

When he was done the night he performed I told my wife he was a phony. First of all it was obvious the stutter was phony as he was in and out of it. If anyone has ever been around some one with a real stutter problem it would be immediately apparent.

And maybe more than the above, most of our heros returning from the mid east with missing limbs and more are ever so humble. It was obvious this phony was going to milk the warrior lie.

We can only hope he gets what he deserves.

For starters he should be tossed off the AGT show. If they do not then they will also be guilty of milking the sensationalism of the lie.

He needs to be tossed and field stripped of his rank and rescind his honorable discharge.

It sounds like both Howie Mandel and Howard Stern want to keep Tim Poe on America's Got Talent and let the voters decide his fate.

They are condoning a wrong and that ain't right!!!!
