Let's hope Corsi's comments here won't fog the momentum the Swiftees have earned. I support them financially and know that they have an audacious task ahead of them.

Thanks for the synopsis.

Just brainstorming Gram!

Doing what it takes to move our side toward the goalline!

His lie about Christmas 1968 was outed, then his handlers came up with "he was in Cambodia and just mixed up his dates."
This gives him an out by saying it was a secret mission, so he can't turn over his complete records.

[Brad’s Gramma]

Well, I'm hoping that others will read this and finally get off their duffs like I did. I'm SO ANGRY at the left for smearing these fine men.

[The Shrew]

I have no intention of falling into that well known trap of "the circular firing squad" and know you won't either.

This isn't political to these men. This is about the truth of their experience and the truth will out!

Letters to the Editor of your local paper is one of the best way to get the work out. People that vote, read the letters to the Editor.

His (Kerry's)lie about Christmas 1968 was outed, then his handlers came up with "he was in Cambodia and just mixed up his dates."

This gives him an out by saying it was a secret mission, so he can't turn over his complete records.

But that's a lie too isn't it?

The American People are smart enough to figure this out. We just have to challenge the left, than I believe that they will be more flagrant in their lies and expose themselves for the liars they are! Just like in your excellent example!

How about: Physical proximity to an event does not imply expert knowledge thereof. A hypothetical mentioned elsewhere: if the captain of a boat disobeys orders and causes the boat to come under fire, the men on the boat may have a very different (and less accurate) view of the Captain's actions than the man who gave the original order, particularly if they themselves didn't know about it.

An interpretation which has been offered of Kerry's Silver Star would, if accurate, illustrate this principle perfectly. A boat (not Kerry's) hits a mine; Kerry panics and hits the throttle, dumping on of his people off his boat. Some of the other boats think there's fire from shore and start shooting. Kerry, realizing there's no shooting from shore, goes back to retrieve the man who fell off his boat.

The man who fell off the boat would have heard all the shooting from the other boats and would have believed that their group was under attack. From his perception, Kerry would have been very brave to have returned to the firefight to retrieve him. It would certainly be more charitable for him to think that Kerry had acted quickly to save his boat and then acted bravely to save him, than to believe that the only reason he landed in the water in the first place was that Kerry panicked.

I don't know if that's how events actually transpired, but the guy who was in the water almost certainly doesn't either.

On Corsi, I would prefer saying that it was "satire", similar to that used by Al Franken or Michael Moore. The fact that he can write serious prose shows the versatility of his work.

Additionally, I would point out that Corsi is NOT one of the Vets. He merely helped them find their voice.

Go Swift Vets!

Christmas in Cambodia = A mistruth maintained by Kerry about his military service every single day for the last 30 years, until just today. How many more mistruths is Kerry still maintaining?

This is a really excellent point! Where are the freeper bloggers and writers?

WRITE ON!

Additional talking point: Howard Dean says George W Bush is more comfortable burning books than reading them. But there are zero examples of Bush burning books, even though hundreds of anti-Bush books have been published in the past 4 years. On the other hand, the Democrats would gladly destroy every single copy of this book and pretend it never existed.

[swilhelm73]

You I think the coming smear job on the Swift Boat Vets is going to hurt Kerry more then the Swift Boat Vet ads.

The American public will see and hear hundreds of vets have attacked Kerry for lying and misusing them in his ads, then they'll see and hear the likes of Mike Moore go after them, all while Kerry says publicly his service means no one can criticize him...
