"Ah, the 'ol rice up the butt trick huh?"

But! but! rice swells to twice its size, don't you know? :-)

Thanks for the explanation, Chaguito -- it makes sense now.

I wish the information would be portrayed properly. The Annenber Poitical Fact Sheet, a self-described non-partisan organization tries to discredit the SVBFT claims

"In any case, even a "friendly fire" injury can qualify for a purple heart "as long as the 'friendly' projectile or agent was released with the full intent of inflicting damage or destroying enemy troops or equipment," according to the website of the Military Order of the Purple Heart. All agree that rice was being destroyed that day on the assumption that it otherwise might feed Viet Cong fighters."

Please don't stay home, it would be shameful to contribute to a Kerry victory.

You don't have to worry about me as I am already in "anybody but Kerry mode". But, there are others who haven't decided to bite the bullet yet and I think the swift-boat vets have a good message for them. Although I may be concerned about another Bush term, I am more than concerned (more like scared s___less) about even one Kerry term.

Wonderful Article!!!

I'm with you about Hannity, Wardaddy!

"Do it all next week. Write the newspaper. Everyone needs to help the Swifties keep the legs on this story. "

- Keep on truckin'. There's still the pictures of Johnny that are now exhibited in Vietnam's war museum dedicated to heroes of the struggle. I'm sure that sometime soon those pictures, plus a translation of their caption explaining Kerry's contribution to the cause, will arrive soon on the front pages of a newspaper near you. (I bet Kerry's people are even now sweating a plan on how to get the Vietnamese government to remove those pictures before this can happen).

I can see how this might be true of a someone that is new to this story, but the talking heads have been informed time and again about how one didn't have to be a "crew member" in order to have "served with" him. They KNOW, they just play dumb so as to convince others to think the same way. Burns my bacon.

[wardaddy]

Thank You.

I bet I have sent out over 50 e-mails to conservative pundits since late last nite either commending them or admonishing their wobbliness.

This story must be told. These men are genuine and credible....and earned the right in blood.

I just sent a praise letter to Kate O' Bierne.

I could just slap O'Reilly and Shep....Ignorance with a bigmouth....and Britt...say it ain't so?

We can keep this going and it will leave residue..

If Amazon fixed it, it is not recently - it's still up there. Also, Kranish is listed as the author of THREE more books on Kerry (all look to be variations of the Kerry biography book authored by the same three reporters), even the Spanish one which is subtitled: La alternativa a Bush. Kranish also wrote an article titled: "Prescott Bush and the Nazis" on 4/23/01. I think it's safe to say he's not a Bush family fan.

John Kerry walked into a buzzsaw. And there was no secret that it was out there. Still, he walked straight into it -- counting on the mainstream media to protect him.

What an utterly arrogant dunce!

Of course he's a dunce.....but the lamestreamer's ARE still protecting him. And they will not cut and run, like he did in Vietnam. They hate Bush so much...they would help elect any oxygen pirate with a "D" behind their name.

FRegards,

Great thread and great documentation.

[Grampa Dave]

Great!

A billionaire lawyer and his multi millionaire lawyer if elected will $crew the middle class 24/7/365.

Unlike Kerry, these vets were there in Nam for their country and to fight their country's enemies. They have grit and will not back down, even in the face of the hostile fire they are receiving from the Kerry camp.

Kerry, on the other hand, lies, refuses to release his full records, and hides behind lawyers and legaleze bluster.

Just comparing the actions and reactions of the two groups can tell you volumes about them both. The swifties are dedicated to their cause, and it is a just and honorable cause. Kerry's honor and integrity appear to be non-existant...and a product of his own imagination.

Kerry has met a group of people here he will not be able to buy off, bluff off, bluster at, intimidate or deter. They are going to go to the mat with him and he knows it.

Document your posting that GW is asking for foriegn oversite.

How long have you trolled for le Jacquestrap Kerri?

[wardaddy]

they would help elect any oxygen pirate with a "D" behind their name.

Sad isn't it? Our media has become Pravda-like and has no shame about it at all. They will lie and structure and omit news just to see their own bias and perspective fulfilled. They are traitors to the truth and to us.

[wardaddy]

We have to keep fighting this one Jeff so these guys can be heard.

Give them money and keep those e-mails running.

I pray to God this story does not die.

These look like a great group of fellows to me who have earned the right to be heard.

When does the book hit?

swiftie bump!
