We should go in person to the media stations. No protest, not a bunch of sign waving - just a long line of people each demanding to speak with editors and have them explain why they are burying this story.

God bless these Vets.

Kerry must be a real sociopath to think he could get away with this...just like Clinton, but I hope this time it doesn't work...

Go Swiftvets!!!!! Thanks for the excellent post Merry...This is a clear summary of Kerry's self serving, despicable lies.

[Fawnn]

Bump for the true heroes!!!

God bless these men -- and you, too, Tonk -- for their service to our country!

This needs to be passed around as much as possible. Thanks for posting it.

Email O'Neil's rebuttal to everyone in your address folders, send it on, recommend every recipient of it does the same.

To hell with "OLD MEDIA". NEW MEDIA" Rocks, and is the present and the future, let us use it to it's fullest.

PASS THIS ON!!!

"On the other hand, I think the Swiftvets are a lot tougher and more determined than Gennifer Flowers, et al."

Not to mention more intelligent by a factor of ten.

According to http://www.johnkerry.com/about/john_kerry/combat_reports.html

13 MAR 1969 Bay Hap River; Dong Cung Canal Four swiftboats were engaged in moving Mobile Strike Force troops on the Bay Hap River and the Dong Cung Canal. Moving down the river in the afternoon following a day of heavy fighting, a mine detonated underneath PCF 3, lifting it 2-3 feet out of the water and, at the same time, a second mine detonated near PCF94, wounding Kerry and knocking an Army advisor on PCF94 into the water. Meanwhile the boats began receiving heavy fire from both sides of the river. Kerry, who had received shrapnel wounds and hurt his right arm, directed his gunners to provide suppressing fire while he pulled the Army advisor back into his boat. PCF 94 then returned to aid PCF 3 and towed the boat down the river to safety. Kerry received the Bronze Star for this action.

This is obviously based on Kerry's Bronze Star Citation, which says that when Brave Sir Robin was fleeing the scene he realized he has a man overboard and returned to pick him up.

But in January, before they had time to align the tale to the Pravda, a mor detailed Kerry campaign Press Release *no longer on Kerry site) said

On March 13, 1969, Rassman, a Green Beret, was traveling down the Bay Hap river in a boat behind Kerry’s when both were ambushed by exploding land mines and enemy fire coming from the shore. Kerry was hit in the arm, while a mine blew Rassman’s boat out of the water. With enemy fire coming from both sides of the river and swift boats evacuating from the area, Kerry’s crew chose to turn their boat toward the ambush to save Rassman.

Inquiring minds wan to know, how did Kerry know a man in a boat behind him had gone over=board?

I want to know what Captain Elliott told Kranish and how it was misrepresented ...Is there a tape of what was said?

This link was posted on another thread:

Anyone who saw the Swift Boat Vets' initial press conference could plainly see that these men are not doing this for political reasons. I am so glad that they have courageously taken on John Kerry's lies. Unfortunately, the MSM is going to make it extremely difficult for the truth to reach the sheeple.

Kerry's World: Father Knows Best***According to the conventional telling of John Kerry's biography, largely told by Kerry himself, his foreign policy views were forged in the Mekong Delta. During his disillusioning four-month combat stint on a Navy Swift Boat, the limits of U.S. power were revealed to him. As Newsweek argued in a cover story last month, "Kerry's policy views, as well as his politics, were profoundly shaped by the war." But, for all the neatness this narrative provides, it overlooks an entire chapter in Kerry's intellectual history: his childhood. In fact, Kerry's foreign policy worldview, characterized by a steadfast belief in international institutions and a suspicion of U.S. hard power, had fallen into place long before he ever enlisted. As Kerry's biographer, the historian Douglas Brinkley, told me, "So much of his foreign policy worldview comes straight from Richard Kerry." ***

Thanks for the ping. I wish the Swiftboat Vets the best they have to get this message out to the public.

[BradyLS]

"Put up or shut up" time for Kerry & Co.

Come November, Americans will be so sick of Kerry, his Vietnam Experience, and his tangle of lawsuits (handled by Boy Wonder) that America will vote for Bush just to shut Kerry's lying pie-hole.

[BradyLS]

The REAL message of the Kerry campagin to America:

"We have not yet BEGUN to SUE!!!"

[Mockingbird For Short]

Excellent. Thanks for posting this, Merry.

If I hear ONE MORE talking head belittle the SwiftVets' charges on the basis of their not having been IN THE SAME BOAT as Kerry, I'm gonna' scream. They are lying through their teeth, as they KNOW it doesn't matter that they weren't in the same boat. How do they get away with playing so stupid?

[BradyLS]

Ah, yes! Bagdad Bob! We must route all Kerry/Edwards pronouncements through him to receive their proper context!

[wardaddy]

If I hear one more dumbass FReeeper bash Sean Hannity for being dumb or a self promoter I'm going to come unglued.

Sean is one of the few on FOX with any stones over this one and we owe him BIGTIME!
