Swift Vet author John O'Neill on Hannity (Fox News)

[PatriotHewett]

This American Hero is doing a great job! Go Swift Boat Veterans for Truth!

[keats5]

I agree.

[tophat9000]

Dem spin: "But they weren't on his boat".

And the Antispin back should be... and all the Vietnam Vet that Kerry accused during his anti war days of war crime in front of U.S. Senate and during Winter Soldier… there weren’t on Kerry boat either… but you accepted Kerry charges about them

[uncbob]

This edwards jerk will fail to note that like 14 of 18 areas on kerrys fitness report by elliot are un observed. Which was his way of writing a damning report on him without destroying his career

Yeah but Buchanan didn't know enough to point that out

[PurpleHeartHaze]

I'm saying Johnson is.

Sure it's a small point, but they have met. Not in Vietnam, but they have met. It's small. But Jeh's presentation didn't specify Nam. WIth these hacks you have to parse every word.

[rolling_stone]

it was reported Kerry asked for a year deferment to study in Paris but was denied then he joined the Navy....

. Pat has a much sharper mind than Hannity. And he is a better rhetorician.

Here's the real movie plan about Kerry which he would receive Royalties for?
George Butler is a New Hampshire Film Maker and a long time friend with Kerry. He made such films as "Pumping Iron". Butler is currently making a film about Kerry's experiences in Vietnam, called "Going up River", expected to hit theatres this September. He is now suing The Vietnam Vets Against Kerry for unauthorized use of photos. I believe some of these photos are going to be in the book "Unfit to Command". This is one reason Kerry's campaign is against this book because it will blow his cover and bring questions to this films accuracy. This is a quote from Butler on WHDH TV Boston, Aired 7/21/2004.
"Everything John Kerry said about Vietnam applies to Iraq as well. So there's a message in the film that's very interesting film indeed."

You can early order it on Amazon.com. I believe it will be available on August 15, 2004, this Sunday!

Yes, the Christmas in Cambodia story is perfect. It's so easily falsifiable.

[ShelleyAa]

I agree. Wish the media would do their job and get the details out so all would see Kerry's world as it is, not as they wish for us to see it.

[mylife]

I agree, if these men are telling the truth Kerry is toast

[South40]

Of course they did. They have an inside connection.

[185JHP]

He can think fast enough to unravel questions from people smarter and snakier than the Colmes: "You don't deny having stopped beating your wife, do you?"

[Carolinamom]

Contrary to their assertions that these vets were not on Kerry's boat, these dem pundits always omit the fact that Kerry's gunner, Steve Gardner, WAS on Kerry's boat.

study in Paris denied...

[isthisnickcool]

While the people are "over there" you can do things like give to groups that send them "care packages" or items like air conditioners. People can also give money to various groups that support the families of service people. To help their wives and kids.

BTW, I'm not suggesting anyone do things I have not already done myself.

The Christmas in Cambodia thing has me puzzled. I admit I did not hear the exact quote, but the secondhand bits I heard have Kerry referencing being in/near Cambodia for Christmas 1968 while President Nixon was saying there were no troops in Cambodia.

OK, if I have this correct HUGE obvious lie. Nixon was elected in 1968 but was not sworn in until 1969, therefore LBJ was president, not Nixon. Why has no one in the media grasped this point?

[hellinahandcart]

I have commented several times about not making fun of people, or making statements in jest that could be taken out of context later.

They can take *anything* out of context in any way they choose to, and there's nothing anyone can do about it.

They have called Jerome Corsi a virulent anti-Catholic bigot and a hatemonger, and snipped sentences out of PARAGRAPHS to offer as evidence, and they will get away with it.

I'm sorry he apologized for his posts. I didn't see anything "sorry"-worthy in any of them.

[PurpleHeartHaze]

And whenever Jeh Johnson is in deep, deep trouble, he deploys "When Kerry got out of college in '66, he had a lot of choices, and he (unlike Bush and Cheney) chose to go to Nam."

The only problem with that is that it is very rare that the American military is worse off after the service of a particular individual. In Kerry's case, the American military would have preferred that he not go to Nam. Uncle Sam to Kerry : I don't want you!!

That's the major problem with the Left's war hero du jour--he did more for our enemies than he did for America.

[AmericanVictory]

In other words Butler and Kerry are planning to extend all the lies they've been getting away with for 30-some years. I don't think it's going to work as well now as it did then.
