Hey guys, even though I know a lot of you hate O'Reilly , mainly because of the way he treated the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, he is actually doing something good for one of them. As you know, Steve Gardner is out of a job and I think it had something to do with his participation in the group. Anyways, O'Reilly had him on last night about the fact that he can't find a job. Bill wants anyone that has job prospects for him or any other connections to email the show. Just go to www.billoreilly.com and a link...

I would like to extend my deepest thanks for your support and generosity. Your gift will help out more than you could know. Your kindness is greatly appreciated! Thank You! God Bless you and your family! Steven M Gardner

Here is what the media that was there said: Swift Boat Veterans stop in Monroe 10/6/2004 10:51 PM By: Shawn Flynn, News 14 Carolina WATCH THE VIDEO Swift Boat Veterans The anti-Kerry group has a new advertisement that will start airing this weekend. MONROE, N.C. -- The Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, a group that has consistently questioned the integrity of presidential candidate John Kerry, stopped in Monroe on Wednesday night. Group members like Steven Gardner addressed a small crowd at the National Guard Armory. Gardner served with the Democratic senator in Vietnam and continues to be outspoken about his...

Steven Gardner and the former POW were GREAT!!! They laid it all out about Kerry. News 14 Carolina will air something about it tonight.

Still Seeking a CorrectionIn a front-page article on August 20, the Los Angeles Times made this incorrect statement: None of the men in the Swift boat group behind the anti-Kerry ad, including [Larry] Thurlow, served on Kerry's patrol boat during the war. I wrote an e-mail to Jamie Gold, the "Readers' Representative" at the Los Angeles Times, pointing out that Steven Gardner, a member of the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, served on one of Kerry's patrol boats during the war. It has been six days, and I have received no response, and have seen no correction. We have seen...

Brinkley told the Atlantic magazine, which excerpted a portion of the book, that he interviewed "every single one" of John Kerry's crewmates on the so-called swift boats that Kerry captained in Vietnam. But in fact he did not interview crew member Steven Gardner, and -- surprise! -- Gardner turned out to be the only one of Kerry's crewmates who disliked his former commander. "I would have talked to Gardner, but I couldn't find him," Brinkley says now.

What kind of a historian is Douglas Brinkley anyway? These days Brinkley is acting a lot less like a historian and a lot more like a PR flack for John Kerry, the subject of Brinkley's flattering bestseller "Tour of Duty: John Kerry and the Vietnam War." Brinkley proclaims his independence from the Kerry campaign -- "This is my book, not his," he writes in "Tour" -- but he's become a major player in the Kerry agitprop machine.

A former Navy gunner who served with presidential candidate John Kerry in Vietnam found himself in the media crosshairs this week. Until two weeks ago, Steve Gardner of Clover, S.C., had not talked with anyone from his 10-member Kerry-led boat crew in more than 30 years. The other nine members have generally described Kerry's leadership as heroic and exemplary under fire. Several have appeared with Kerry during campaign stops. Not Gardner. "Our job in that boat was to engage the enemy and Kerry did what he could to avoid confronting the enemy. He ran like a dog," Gardner said in...

John Kerry, the Democratic challenger for the White House, is embroiled in fresh controversy over his much-vaunted Vietnam war record, after one of his crew members accused him of cowardice and making strategic mistakes in battle. The testimony of Steven Gardner, a gunner's mate on the first patrol boat commanded by Kerry in the Mekong delta, contradicts accounts of the senator's military career that depict him as a brave and aggressive lieutenant who won three Purple Hearts. "He absolutely did not want to engage the enemy when I was with him,'' Gardner said in an interview with the Boston Globe....

John Kerry, the Democratic challenger for the White House, is embroiled in fresh controversy over his much-vaunted Vietnam war record, after one of his crew members accused him of cowardice and making strategic mistakes in battle. The testimony of Steven Gardner, a gunner's mate on the first patrol boat commanded by Mr Kerry in the Mekong delta, contradicts accounts of the senator's military career that depict him as a brave and aggressive lieutenant who won three Purple Hearts and which are a key element of his campaign against George Bush. "He absolutely did not want to engage the enemy when...
