Well let's look at the odds:
Swift Boat guys: 250, funding from folks like us, access to very few media outlets who do NOT want to portray them as a subset of the current presidency.
JFK the Second: half the country (give or take), Soros and the entire democrat party (ex Hitlery Co.), loved by the media right down to FOX news.

Yeah, I think they could lose.
They can sway some voters, maybe quite a few, maybe enough, that means they will have done a great service. But individually and as a group they are going to be chewed on every day until the election is over - if Kerry wins the gnawing will continue. If GWB wins it will merely ebb into sniping and enter political lore along with "the stolen Floridumb election".

What does not kill you only makes you stronger...if that's true these guys will all be Olympians when the election is over.

I took your statement literally, "I'm afraid that the real result of the Swift Boat Veteran's effort will be to divert Kerry campaign attention into grinding them up."

Glad to hear you aren't afraid at all, and welcome the probe for truth.

the media is going to ignore this story

They can't, not without revealing their true identify as Dr. Goebbels propoganda ministry.

That is so unbelievably ignorant of how the military works that it deserves an article all its own. OReilly is a military dunce

I am, especially in comparison to many here, a military dunce. (I am in no way defending O'Reilly who has no excuse for not preparing and reading the facts.) Anyway, I think you brought up a critical point. I have asked many people in recent days what they thought of this story and because of people like O'Reilly and their own lack of knowledge, they don't think it has merit. (They weren't on his boat, they weren't near his boat, all the people with him support him, etc.)

The message has to continue to be sharpened to stop the O'Reilly's of the world from blurring the facts and protecting Kerry.

BINGO

Why all the attention? Simply put, if John Kerry can be conclusively demonstrated to have lied about aspects of his Vietnam service, the media has to ask what else has he been lying about. The voters have to ask if he can be trusted. In short: Free fall.

Do any of these writers, reporters and producers resent getting played by Kerry?

Of course they don't resent being played by Kerry. These people have callouses on their knees by now. They are so used to being used they actually ENJOY it now.

Oh, just "corrected a mistake," simple as that. Not a word about the house of cards built on a fairytale by John Kerry (to advance his personal ambition), however. Not a peep. You hear?

Amazing isn't it? And what about that hat?

Think about the people that have been lining up for tickets to see Bush for hours.

For Kerry, they have to bus them in from out of town.

I was able to convince two of my daughters friends to not vote for Kerry because of the Swift Vets comments. I say why would 200+ Vietnam Vets lie? They say because he was anti-war. And I say: and Kerry lied about them back then too. Called them "baby killers, etc." I say: think about it. Would you want today's soldiers, your brother, to be serving under this lying traitor? Works every time.

The polls taken now probably mean very little but we should work for Bush like they meant everything! Can't be to careful.

"Too early to tell whether Bush-hatred trumps anger at getting suckered. More to follow ... "

No, Hugh, it isn't. Libs are all about "POWER". They'll defend Kerry, no matter how much he's played them for over 30 years. Supremely sad, but true.
