O’Reilly has a nasty habit of trying to denigrate and write-off groups who he doesn’t agree with, the Swift Boat Veterans for the Truth About John Kerry, being one such organization.
The Swifties (I was a VN journalist who worked on their book “Unfit for Command”), via leader Adm. Hoffman and John O’Neill, didn’t take any crap from the liberal media and told the real truth about Kerry’s Vietnam embellished and made-up history.
Lurch couldn’t take it because it was beginning to reveal his whole leftist, me-me, history so he got the liberal media to protect his lying ass, and unfortunately, BOR bought into their characterization of the Swifties as disgruntled Viet vets with a political agenda.
Only Kerry was allowed to have a “political agenda” and lie about his service, without being challenged by those who served with him.
Both the book “Unfit for Command” and Unfit’s editor Scott Swett, plus Tim Ziegler’s follow-up research book, “To Set the Record Straight”, nailed Kerry and his asskissers lie after lie, embellishment after embellishment, and falsified history after falsified history.
You know the results. Kerry lost when the truth came out despite all the coverups by the Boston Globe, NYTimes, Wash. Post (except for one reporter’s significant attempt to arrive at the truth, only to have his editors squash follow-up articles that would have sunk Kerry once and for all - writer was Michael Dobbs).
One of Kerry’s top aides and mouthpieces should still be in jail for the possession of child pornography (Wade Sanders), a really despicable and desperate person.
Two other crewmen who served on the same boat that Kerry eventually commanded, turned out to be liars in their claims that they served with him (they did not).
The mainstream media never reported their recantations when confronted by the truth/documentation that they never served with him.
O’Reilly is windbag, self-promoting “populist” who always has to be right. Challenge him and you are called names and denigrated, an old Saul Alinsky tactic that BOR has adopted.
He does some good, some bad, and some junk. With the Swift Boat guys, he dissed hundreds of very brave, and very modest sailors, most of whom served 3-4 times as long as Kerry did, and got real Purple Heart wounds in combat, not from rice in the ass, a bruise, and a scratch.
That my friends, is the real story, one that O’Reilly will never tell you.
Thanks for the swift-boat review. I had forgotten it already. NOW I remember Kerry's lies about it.

O'Reilly's big mouth MUST HAVE gotten him in lots of trouble over the years. Anyone who WOULD go toe-to-toe with him is asking for a verbal spanking. WHY would anyone go near him unless it's for publicity?
NO DOUBT he sustained MANY a punch in the nose, gut, whatever. And that's from the little GIRLS.
