Statement from the Rear Admiral that heads the SBVfT, that the SBV paid for the right to make their statements with their own blood ... VERY powerful. Hopefully one of us can find the text and post it here.

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?

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!!!

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?

McCain needs to answer these questions:

You're calling the ad 'dishonest.' Which of these vets is lying, John? And how do you know?

You're calling the ad, 'dishonorable.' How is it dishonorable for these decorated vets to express their knowledge and opinions, any more than it's dishonorable for vets who support Kerry to express theirs?

I reffered someone to SwiftVets.com, but they typed in SwiftBoatVets.com and got redirected to Salon.com. I checked it and sure enough, you get sent to a page at Salon, denouncing the SwiftVets.

McCain did the Swift Boat Vets a huge favor. Now that McCain has spoken out, the lamestream media have to discuss this story.

I am a 24/7 member and have searched the entire website. Nothing about this story.

If he said it live, then a transcript may be available tomorrow.

I can see Republicans and the White House staying out of the fray, so they don't appear to be part of this, but………Don't give a damn quote that will be used in every major news media outlet that is writing about the story.

McCain needs to shut-up.

Rob, Rob, Rob.

This isn't the way this is supposed to work.

First, you post the article, then you comment upon what you posted.

Why don't you ask the moderator to remove this and re-post the article in its entirety.

I heard this on Rush! Looks like McCain has gone back to his normal self. I loved the part where they said they knew Kerry in Vietnam and McCain didn't!

Knew giving McCain any credit was a waste when I did it!

Rush just read the statement. It will be posted later today. Everybody needs to stop hyperventilating.

The statement was very terse and to the point.

From sfgate.com : "'The president thought he got rid of this unregulated soft money when he signed the bipartisan campaign finance reform into law,' McClellan said. A chief sponsor of that bill, which Bush initially opposed, was McCain. In 2000, Bush's supporters sponsored a rumor campaign against McCain in the South Carolina primary, helping Bush win the primary and the nomination. McCain's supporters have never forgiven the Bush team."

Well I have never forgiven McCain for CFR. I can just barely forgive George Bush for it, all the good things he's done in the balance. In a couple of months, if I understand correctly, airing the swift vets commercial will be illegal.

We respect Senator 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 Senator McCain did not."

McCaine should just get it over with and become a Democrat! The Bush camp even distanced themselves from the Swift boat vets for Political Safety...cowards!!

Bush DOES NOT WANT TO alienate the VETS!

Funny how Vets are made into political pawns.

I am not happy with the Bush camp tonight..but what choice do I have. The only class act today was the Vet's "reply to McCaine".

Here is a letter that I sent to Gromer Jeffers, Wayne Slater, and Tim Connolly of the Dallas Morning News asking them what plans they have to report on the Swift Boat Veterans' ad the journalistic improprieties of the Boston Globe's Mike Kranish.

I would urge others to write Mr. Jeffers, Mr. Slater, and Mr. Connolly and ask them the same thing in your own words.

Be nice -- if we can get one major newspaper to report this story then others will follow.

I built my letter around one written by another Freeper but I can't seem to find it now. If someone figures it out who I plagiarized it from please ping them and pass along my thanks for a great letter.

-DallasMike

===================

Boston Globe reporter Mike Kranish reported earlier today that "a key figure in the anti-Kerry campaign, Kerry's former commanding officer [George Elliott], backed off one of the key contentions."

Swift Boat Veterans for Truth issued a statement a little later that has Mr. Elliott claiming that the Kranish article is "extremely inaccurate" and that it “highly misstated his actual views.” Captain Elliott reaffirmed his original affidavit and requested that the ad still be played.

Get this, however – Kranish is the author of the forthcoming official book on the Kerry-Edwards campaign called Kerry and Edwards:  Their Plans and Promises! Not only that, the Boston Globe has assigned him to cover the Kerry campaign. Why is the author of a fawning campaign book on John Kerry masquerading as an unbiased reporter and why is the Boston Globe allowing him to do this?

This is an amazing conflict of interest and downright journalistic malpractice. What plans does the Dallas Morning News have to report on Mr. Kranish’s impropriety? Has the Dallas Morning News contacted George Elliott to verify that Mr. Kranish really did misstate his views? Does anyone at the Dallas Morning News even care?
