I just heard Rush read the official response to John McCain from Adm. Hoffman, representing the Swiftboat Veterans for Truth. Hoffman said the swiftboat veterans earned, with their blood and their service, the right to speak the truth about their own unit. He said they knew Kerry well, and McCain did not.
I hope you can find a transcript of their official response. It was devastating.
Cyncooper gave me the TUscon phone number for McCain (520-670-6334...Very sweet young woman answers phone and listens.
When debating a liberal, they stated that it was people that just KNEW him, but that the actual vets who were on HIS boat loved him. That five of them were supporting him and the only other one that wasn't is dead.
Does anyone know anything about this?
Yes, I'm getting timeout errors. The site may not be able to handle the increase in traffic today.
Buttocks Full of Rice...
how many po' kids starved that night after Kerry dropped the grenade in the passing sampan?
Swiftvets needs more bandwidth...they are getting bottlenecked...
I'm pretty sure everyone's going there at once...I just got the link in an e-mail -- made it to the homepage and the "John Kerry in Vietnam" link, but now the connection is refused.
It's the "white font" method.
I'd say so. The seminar caller now on with Rush said he couldn't bring up the site.....
Plus they have the ad's video right on the home page which is a performance killer. No wonder there is trouble loading the page.
I hope they tell him to Shove It.
Who cares what McCain thinks and why does what he thinks matter it relation to this issue.
I got there, but I couldn't find the letter. It was great - the only thing I remember was that the writer (an admiral, I believe) said that the vets had paid with their blood for their right to the truth. A real stunner!
The big problem with that site is it goes straight to the video, takes up way too much bandwidth, they are overloaded.
Is anyone else having a problem getting to the Swiftboat Veterans for Truth site?I think everyone listening to a certain radio show, and the rest of the interested Internet community is trying to hit the site. Also - here's a quote from SFGate:
Retired Adm. Roy Hoffmann, head of the Swift Boat group, said they respected McCain's "right to express his opinion and we hope he extends to us the same respect and courtesy, particularly since we served with John Kerry, we knew him well and Sen. McCain did not."
If anyone has the text of the reply, please post it here ASAP. Thank you!
Speechless
I am now on their site, and it's nowhere to be found.
I searched their news page and press release page and it's not there
