SWIFTBOAT VETERANS RESPOND TO MCCAIN

I heard it too. They shoved it down McCain's throat!

We knew him, we served with him, you didn't!

In other words: Shut your FAT TRAP cause you don't know what you're talkin' about!!

[kabar]

Rush needs to be better informed to answer guys like this caller. The swift boat vets in the ad served with Kerry. They skippered their own PCFs, but the boats operated together in groups of at least three and they were within yards of one another. They lived and ate together.

[RobFromGa]

Hoffman was Kerry's former Commanding officer, thanks for finding the text.

[cake_crumb]

Yeah, and the seminar caller complains the swift boat vets give no evidence to support their claims against Kerry and dived RIGHT into the AWOL story. He does not believe the people who served WITH Kerry, yet is more than willing to take the word of John Kerry on the AWOL fiction completely at face value.

[Bob]

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.

The only people supporting him are the guys who served under him. His fellow Swift boat skippers and his superiors know him just as well as the ones who were on his boat. There is one enlisted man (Steve(?) Gardner) who served under him and is adamantly against him. He's also part of the SWBfT group.

[JFC]

I just called and gave them my opinion. She took my address and said she would get back with me through correspondence.

[b4its2late]

I think everyone listening to a certain radio show

You mean The Rush Limbaugh Show.

[beyond the sea]

McCain is a sleazy bum with something to hide. Anyone who knows McCain would know his scorn for the Swift Boat Vets is based in fear of his own exposure. What trash!!!

[smith288]

Thats like guy A drives HUM-V ONE around like an idiot, those in HUM-V TWO think guy A is a moron and isnt fit to be president for his wrecklessness.

Then critics say those in HUM-V TWO "dont know him, they werent in his HUM-V"...

*sigh*

[lonevoice]

Yes, that is a partial transcript of the statement I heard Rush read on the air. But, it leaves out the part about the swiftboat veterans earning their right to speak by their blood and service. It was very eloquent. If anyone can get a full transcript of the statement, maybe we can get a FR moderator to post it to the start of this thread.

Swiftvets needs more bandwidth...they are getting bottlenecked...

Rush brought down FreeRepublic for several hours one day, by cracking up laughing, on-air, at one of Paul Atreides' photo parodies. We have a lot of bandwidth, but not enough to withstand a sizeable portion of Rush's audience all trying to get here at once.

If no one can get on the site right now, that's great. It means a hell of a lot of people are terribly curious about it.

[cake_crumb]

That is an absolutely EXCELLENT reply. Classy and succinct.

[Wild Irish Rogue]

" 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."

Agreed.
They spanked McCain, but, respectfully.
I think the WH should not denounce this ad.
They can take a hands off aproach-the WH did not denounce or comment on Kerry's vets-they should take the same approach with this group.

[rwfromkansas]

Seems the Swift site is down due to getting too many hits from Rush

I remember it well......

[AQGeiger]

Can you please give me a little background on this? What occurred between the Swift Boat Veterans and John McCain that merited that sort of response?

[Petronski]

That's the only defense I've been able to find in the DUmpster and you're right, it just doesn't hold water.

[aruanan]

I just heard Rush read the official response to John McCain from Adm. Hoffman

Is McCain flacking for another liberal senator?
