So if (Preacherman) Alston stood up in front of God, the DNC Convention, CNN and the whole world extolling the sheer, naked heroism of J-FK and it was all fabricated - a BIG LIE - then why aren't Bill O'Reilly and Matt Drudge all over this like white on rice?

IMO Alston is one of those wacko preachers. He said Kerry is a man of God. LINK

• David Alston, Kerry Crewmate & Gunner from PCF-94: “David Alston was the gunner atop Kerry's pilot house. Kerry, he told an audience here, was a compassionate commander. ‘We were in a lot of firefights,’ Alston said. ‘You learn a lot about people. After a firefight, John would come up to me and he would put his hand on me and he'd say, 'David, are you all right?’ ‘I didn't know then that I had a man of God on my boat,’ Kerry said. ‘That's probably why I'm here today’.” [Orlando Sentinel, 1/31/04]

• Alston Commends Kerry’s Trustworthiness, Courage, Judgment & Character: “David Alston, a chemical operator at a local nuclear plant and a Baptist minister, was a cut more formal in his brown plaid suit than most of the crowd basking in 60-degree breezes around the latticed and columned front porch. Sturdy-looking and down-to-earth, Alston took the microphone, skipped the preliminaries and carried the meeting straight back to the dangerous world he once shared with Kerry, a 50-foot-long Navy ‘swift boat’ in the jungle estuaries of Vietnam. ‘Down in the Mekong Delta, we lived together, we fought together, we bled together and we survived together,’ said Alston. ‘Whether we were Democratic or Republican was not the issue,’ he said. ‘The issues at that time were trust, courage, judgment and character.’ Alston attached those attributes to Kerry and introduced his friend with no further ceremony.” [Providence Journal-Bulletin, 3/23/03]

This guy has the aptitude to work at a nuclear plant and stands in front of people preaching the Gospel but is now being challenged on his account of Kerry being a "man of God" and saving multiple lives - yet having NEVER SERVED with Kerry.

That's the STORY, right?

Something is wrong with this picture. There should be all kinds of red flags going up over this. Alston was a keynote speaker and a cornerstone character witness to Kerry's impeccable war record and yet this story is not plastered all over the web.

What's up with that?
