Swift Boat Veterans For Truth Responds To Senator McCain
Thu Aug 05 2004 17:10:20 ET
"Swift Boat Veterans for Truth has more than 250 members, many of whom were wounded or highly decorated in Vietnam.
We purchased with our blood and service the right to be heard, to set the record straight about our unit, and to tell the truth about John Kerry's military service record.
We respect Senator McCain's right to express his opinion and we hope he extends to us the same respect and courtesy, particularly since we served with John Kerry, we knew him well and Senator McCain did not."
Rear Admiral Roy Hoffmann (ret.), Founder and Chairman of Swift Boat Veterans for Truth.
I concur. It's a dangerous game, though, since of course the media will line up behind McCain & Kerry.
I just love this question til Election Day: "Senator, is it true you shot a Vietnamese teen in the back as he was fleeing?" Man, those liberals can dish it out, but they can't take it. John F*ckin's gonna look shifty if he can't come clean about a simple question on what happened more than 40 years ago. And that's not the only he's failed to answer. A hero should just come clean - can you do that Senator since you claim to be proud of your Vietname service. We're waiting. And yes, the Swifties have earned the right to put their views to the nation since they paid the ultimate price.
Right. Joe Conason and other Lefties want to change the subject from the issue of what Kerry did in 'Nam to the credentials of the accusers. That's called begging the question. They're phonies - I mean they had us almost believing that song and dance in Boston last week about how the Democrats loved our military and wrapped themselves in flag and pledge. But when it comes to answering simple questions, they get red in the face and call in their legal hounds. Well for once they tangled with the wrong people. The Swifties have already seen the worst in their lives and they're not going to back down before a bunch of lawyers. John F*ckin' will regret opening the proverbial can of worms. If his campaign thinks this is bad news, I'd hate to see what the rest of August has in store.
I don't see the letter on Rush's site either. Oh, well.
You have to wait til after 7 EDT. That when the transcripts from Rush's show gets posted online. Hope this helps.
Thanks. bump !
that the SBV paid for the right to make their statements with their own blood .

Because the television media have him on all the time to quote him, and the manner in which they do it makes him the media's spokesman / shill under guise of impartial, or *cough* wise commentator. (gag me)
Thank you.
There are POW'S that had Kerry's Congressional testimony read to them by the North Vietnamese. I hope that some of these men will no longer remain quiet -- their nation needs them once again.
Here is the verbatim TRANSCRIPT I wrote out from the audio archive of today's show on Ruch Limbaugh:
Swiftboat Veterans for Truth has more than 250 members, many of whom were wounded or highly decorated in Vietnam.

Hannity's going to talk about something Carl Limbacher from NewsMax just sent him. It's about comments McCain made in the past concerning Kerry's anti-war activities.
Bite me???.....Now,now now....Didn't you realize that McCain was in Viet Nam,(like kerry was)but did you know McCain was also a POW,(while kerry was calling him a baby killer back home, but he was for McCain, before he was against him,and then for him again??)
My favorite quote is from fellow freeper Keith in Iowa on his feelings on Mr. McCain :
"I encourage Mr.McCain to engage in an autonomous act of extreme physical intimacy that some might consider physiologically impossible".
(...but BITE ME (RINO) will work in a pinch also......)
I just heard that too. Sounds like another ball hit out of the park! According to Hannity, John McCain is on the record as saying that Hanoi John's congressional testimony about atrocities was one of the most devastating tactics his captors used against him when he was a POW.
I hope there's audio.
In this case, I'd suggest McCain redirect his renal output in a vertical trajectory, in direct proximity to a lengthy segment of woven hemp.
