If he did, does it make what the book says about Kerry any less damaging?
Typical lib response... don't acknowledge the message, just attack the messenger.
True. That's their standard response. They try to smear the authors of this book, they try to suppress the Swift Boat commercial. They don't rebut, just try to smear and suppress. Then they bleat about how they and only they support free speech.
What are they afraid of?
Still, it would be better if we can clear these quotes up.
Well, Alan Colmes discussed this tonight to refute John O'Neill, so I'd say, yes, it does.
Tuh roo! That's what Colmes did tonight, inferring that because of what Colmes deemed bigotted remarks (which had no relationship to the the Swift Boat Vets criticism of Kerry), the messenger was a liar. A typical response of a lib who slips into a state of cognitive dissonance when truth batters their world view.
