Posted on 08/19/2004 4:01:49 PM PDT by Interesting Times

August 19, 2004 -- Posted Swift Veteran statements in response to today's Washington Post article by Michael Dobbs, Records Counter a Critic of Kerry. Dobbs attempts to make a case that there was enemy small-arms fire during the Rassmann incident for which John Kerry obtained a Bronze Star, based on the writeup for Larry Thurlow's own Bronze Star. But who wrote the action report for the event? And why no bullet holes in any of the boats?

Statement By Swift Boat Veterans for Truth member Larry Thurlow

Statement By Swift Boat Veterans for Truth member Van Odell

Statement By Swift Boat Veterans for Truth member Jack Chenoweth

Did ya see Max Cleland??

Now he is claiming Kerry was shot 3 times and all this with the Vets is Bush's fault

I lost count how many times he said Bush's name

These people are scare sh**less about this .. what I just saw was complete panic

I did hear right. Cleland said Kerry was SHOT 3 times. What BS! He was never shot, never spent an hour in the hospital. 2 self-inflicted shrapnel wounds and one that was maybe legit.

Jack Chenoweth

I would love for Crissy to interview Jack Chenowith. He'd end up wearing his ass for a hat.

Thanks for the ping. I already have the Swiftees/Thurlow Press Release on my website: www.iowapresidentialwatch.com

Just watched the PBS/Lehrer interview with O'Neil and Boston Globe's Oliphant. Total win for O'Neil. Oliphant looked visibly shaken during most of it.

kewl

Yep and he also said that Thurlow questioned McCain's patriotism ..

Cleland is one piece of work and sure loves to sling the BS

There was gun fire alright.....

When one boat hit a 'viet cong home made mine'....they did their version of immediate action drills...poured power to the boats and every body opened up in the area of fire they were responsible for...

So I am guessing dual 50 cals on every boat four M-60s and a Honneywell 40 mike-mike all opening up at once....

Yep there was lots of shooting going on alright...

And not one hole in any boat (other than Kerry himself that is)

imo

Chris barely gave him a chance to respond or TOTALLY ignored the response

I think on a show like that, with a demagogue, you have to approach it differently. You don't reply to his questions. And if he says, you're not answering the question you reply - you've been ignoring the answers. And since he has such a shallow, soundbyte approach, he's stuck. At that level, a guy like that can't explain anything. It's takes him out of his 'rhythm'. He might have had a sign he could have brought up to camera - KERRY LIED! Matthews might have objected and could have said - Kerry lied about what he did that day. Just as simple as that. And so on. Again, the trick is, Matthews can't get into depth with anything, when he takes that approach (he doesn't always). So he can't confuse in that way. All he can do is launch surface-level slurs. And in my opinion there's a way to respond to that.

Wow! What a broadside unleashed at the Post. I'm amazed at how many in the mainstream media are working overtime to trash their own credibility by the way they are treating these brave swifties.

Is Michael Dobbs (WP reporter) related to Lou Dobbs, CNN anchor who effusively praised the other Dobbs today?

Hey, I NEVER watch the Lamestream Media Evening News, but today we had it on NBC (instead of my FOX News Channel). When the 5:30 NBC news came on, they lead with the Kerry blasting of the SwiftVets, and they labeled Bob Perry exactly how Kerry has, a Bush supporter.

Oh, by the way, they failed to mention that Bob Perry (an AMERICAN from TEXAS) contributed $200,000 to the SwiftVets while George Soros (NOT an American), has contributed $$$$ TEN OF MILLIONS to MoveOn.org !!!

Just out of curiosity, how can they remember if their were bullet holes in the boats? 1. would bullets have penetrated anyway and 2. why would somebody remember that (unless their was a record of such).
