Kristinn, co-leader of the DC Chapter, attended part of the John O'Neill & Swift Boat Veterans for Truth press conference this morning* (details below). Per his request, I'm posting his photos and his captions.

Quick Report from John O'Neill-Swift Boat Veteran Press Conference
na | 5/4/2004 | Amrymarinemom

Kirstinn just call in a quick report from the press conference. He could only stay for the first ten minutes. The Press room was packed to overflowing with at least twelve news video cameras and dozens of reporters. Also in attendance were a couple dozen swift boat veterans to speak at the press conference.
O'Neal said that Kerry spoke with Admiral Hoffman, the chairman of the group, for forty five minutes trying to talk him out of doing this. O'Neal said that the swift boat Captains beleive that Kerry is unfit for Commander in Chief and that is their sole reason for speaking out. He stated that if Kerry is dropped out of the Democratic nomination and is replaced that the group will go away. The group also demanded that Kerry sign the two page release to disclose his full medical records. If he can spend fifty to 100 million on his campaign he can take time to fill out a two page form. When asked for a show of hands for those who served with Kerry about a dozen raised their hands. The group said that they have also received nasty messages accusing them of being alcoholics.
The front of the room was filled with enlarged black and white photographs. One was a photo used by the Kerry campaign and one was possibly the photo from the cover of The New Soldier. Photos were provided by Free Republic's Wintersoldier.com. Kristinn spoke briefly with O'Neal and he had very nice things to say about Free Republic. [click here for the rest of that thread]

Bump. Need to link-in the AP story on this - which is the fact that AP has spiked it.

When I consider this story and look at the group black & white photo, it occurs to me that Kerry's propensity in having "imaginary friends" has not been a recent development...it has followed him his entire life. It must feel strange for Kerry to see his traitorous a$$ in a photo of....... Real Heroes!

CSPAN Needs to Air the Swift Boat Veteran Press Conference!

Our own Interesting Times participated in the John O'Neill Swift Boat Veterans for Truth press conference today at the National Press Club. Interesting Times is the webmaster and driving force behind the Free Republic Network's sponsored website WinterSoldier.com and is heavily involved in collecting, collating and disseminating the information that the Swift Boat veteran's are discussing.
Interesting Times has just called me to say that the Press conference has gone extremely well. Dozens of news organizations were present as well as many Washington D.C. behind the scenes players. He reports that there is as yet no commitment from CSPAN to air the press conference in its entirety. He has asked me to run a thread asking freepers to contact CSPAN and politely ask them to air the press conference held today in its entirety.
"The quotes these guys give are damning. They are extremely credible. We must get this word out and not allow the mainstream media to report it in drips and drabs and heavily edited." Interesting Times said from his vantage point within the room at the National Press Club. [click here for the rest of that thread]

I wish there was a way to save a copy directly from the net. We don't have cable, living in the stone age as we do! :-)
