O'Neil is damned good....truly.


God bless Hannity.

He has proven he has the guts of a true conservative.

O'sackoshite should hang his head in shame.

What I remember Rassmann has said about his life, was law enforcement I think Southern California, and retired now raises orchids in Oregon.

O'Neill isn't doing fine. He's doing absolutely great! I rate him an 8 on 0 to 10.

Kick ass and take names!

Mr. O'Neill's doing great. Reserved but well-spoken and not backing down; countering Colmes very well IMHO.

"The guy falls overboard and Kerry pulls him back in the boat. Ergo, Kerry saves his life???"

From what I can tell, Rassman actually fell off the boat because of Kerry's actions that day. Kerry's boat was seen to be speeding away from the scene by the other swiftboats. It was the speeding take off I believe that caused Rassman to fall off the boat. When Kerry realized he'd lost someone, he turned around to look for him. At least one of the other boats heard Rassman calling out. They were on their way to get him when they saw Kerry come speeding back to the scene.

O'Neil is terrific. At last, someone with the presence, facts, and eloquence to make the case. Hannity--please give him the opportunity to answer--don't interrupt him. Let him tell the story. No trying to detaik Kerry's atrocities.

Rassmann's editorial as just quoted is a classic non-denial denial.

A registered Republican


"Doesn't mean anything. My mom was a registered democrat because in 92 she voted in the dem primary for president to try and beat Klinton.

Rassman voted for Klinton if I heard correctly."


I know, however, this is suppose to give Rassmann cover cause he supposedly is a registered Republican.

When Rassmann "parachuted" into Iowa last January to "save" JFKerry's drowning campaign, he focused upon that fact that he was a "registered Republican".

He made JFKerry sound like the Savior cause he saved a "republican".

People fall off boats and some even jump off boats all the time. Wouldn't anyone help someone back aboard??? I sure don't see this as heroic.

What am I missing?

Good questions. I think what you're missing is that supposedly this "rescue" took place under enemy fire.

That's the tale JFnK tells about the incident anyway; apparently Rassman goes along with it.

Did O'Reilly ask Rassman if they were under fire when Kerry fished Rassman out of the water?

I ask this because Lt. Jack Chenoweth, who was on one of the other swift boats nearby, saw the entire incident and said there was absolutely NO ENEMY FIRE. One of the swift boats had just been blown up after hitting a mine, true; but there were no vc around to shoot at them.

In fact, Chenoweth said (and I'm paraphrasing here), if there had been enemy fire during that incident, there would be few if any men left to tell the story.

Rassman was in no particular danger, as Lt. Chenoweth's boat was on its way to pick him up, had Kerry not got to him first.
