Yesterday O'Reilly said the internet was buzzing about him and the swift boats and he called his detractors- " Ring Wing Jingoists."
O'Reilly is not doing any research on the SWVFT and is going in cold.
Kay?
He's made up his mind and won't let the facts or logic get in the way.
Yesterday, he announced that Kerry had only said he was in Cambodia "one time " and that was ok-just youthful bragging.
By the time O'Reilly's show had come on, there were multiple published sources cited from 1979 until 2003, where Kerry said he was in Cambodia with :
The SEALS
The CIA
One Mission
Many Missions
Running in Ammo
Searching enemy enclaves
( and now according to Drudge, he's going to claim via David Brinkley, that he was actually in Cambodia in January )
If O'Reilly is going to flak for Kerry, he should at least do his research.
But, it probably makes it easier to flak, if he doesn't know the facts-like a defense attorney tells his client-" I don't want to know if you committed the crime."
As for Kerry saving Rassmann's life-
Rassmann told Michael Kranish that the other swiftboats had turned to rescue him ,but, according to Kerry and O'Reilly-
they would have just watched while Rassmann drowned.
Rassmann was tired-he only weighed 135 lbs and had been sick
but, he wasn't going under the water.
What everyone can agree on-is that Kerry pulled Rassmann out of the water.
Kerry did not go to Rassmann-Rassmann swam to Kerry's boat-notice I said swam, as it was the closest.

I hate to break it to O'Reilly, but I don't give a tinker's dam what he thinks.
