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]
It sure is choking me up...The horror of what JF Kerry did to our homecoming soldiers, turning many into falsely ashamed alcoholics, and manufacturing the slaughter in Vietnam upon our withdrawal...The blood of millions is on Kerry's hands...The horror...the horror....The horror!
John F Kerry is one of the worst war criminals and traitors of our time.
In April 1971, after his return from the Vietnam War, in testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee as a leader of Vietnam Veterans Against the War:"KERRY accused U.S. Soldiers of having "personally raped, cut off ears, cut off heads, taped wires from portable telephones to human genitals and turned up the power, cut off limbs, blown up bodies, randomly shot at civilians, razed villages in a fashion reminiscent of GENGHIS KHAN, shot cattle and dogs for fun, poinsoned food stocks, and generally ravaged the countryside of South Vietmam."
Don’t forget, he did this while an officer in the United States Naval Reserves.
