Kerry Give SwiftVets Story Legs (Accuses them of Lying)
Fox News

Posted on 08/19/2004 7:05:05 AM PDT by rocklobster11

I just saw Kerry on Fox News giving a speach, and he directly addressed the SwiftVets. He said that they were a group that was not interested in the truth becuase they were lying. He also said that the group didn't exist until he won the nomination, and that the group was funded by hundreds of thousands of dollars from a major Republican donor, and that the group was a front for the Bush campaign. He attacked Bush for supporting the group

I think the press will have to now look into the truth of the story in response to Kerry's charges. You think he'd want to keep quiet, but this was obviously becoming an issue that he and his media friends couldn't sweep under the rug

One note on his speech: Didn't the large republican donor only give 100K, not multiple 100s as Kerry implied?

My first question when he opens up with this sort of thing would be to ask him how he felt when the vets at the VFW in Cincy turned their backs to him.

He specifically said they were lying, so now the press should have to ask him what they are lying about. Of course, the press could choose to ignore it.

Keep your eyes open. If this keeps up, he'll blow his lid and do or say something embarrassing in front of the cameras. He's too narcissistic to be able to face the kind of heat that is coming his way.

He had to have time to get his medical records etc ready.

"Why haven't you released your complete military records Sen. Kerry? You said you would in April."

He thinks the Post story on Thurow gives him cover but he just kicked the whole thing up another notch.

We should make this an issue where he should be made to answer for the scurilous lies he told when he returned from Vietnam.

Your right Kerry did make a mistake. I do not believe he has any choice. The original plan was to avoid discussion and let the MSM and his surrogates do the talking. This did not work principally because the Internet, Talk Radio and Fox News kept the story alive.

Yes, some Texas real estate entrepreneur with Pubbie credentials did give the Swift Vets 100k. So what! This is now 527's get their money and allegedly Soros has popped for 10 million for the RATS.

I found it interesting that the media did a FIA request on the members of SBV's, but haven't seen a FIA on skerry's records. But they sure will tout the POS the skerry camp put out a couple of days ago.

Skerry and his ilk have seen the internal poll results and are really pissed at the Vets. Now you will see his true beliefs about his fellow VETS. And it's not going to be pretty.
