[Interesting Times]

August 19, 2004 -- Posted Swift Veteran statements in response to today's Washington Post article by Michael Dobbs, Records Counter a Critic of Kerry. Dobbs attempts to make a case that there was enemy small-arms fire during the Rassmann incident for which John Kerry obtained a Bronze Star, based on the writeup for Larry Thurlow's own Bronze Star. But who wrote the action report for the event? And why no bullet holes in any of the boats?

You are right on the money! For these vets, this is not political at all. This is an issue of being up close and personal. They know Kerry is a fraud, liar and traitor, and I can assure you, they won't back off that low life, no matter who tells them to until John Kerry is destroyed!

The first of the month when my military pension comes,Im sending them a $100.oo

Is Michael Dobbs (WP reporter) related to Lou Dobbs, CNN anchor who effusively praised the other Dobbs today?

Don't know, but it does sound suspiciously incestuous.

Bump for Swift Vets Swift Response.

I hope they can continue to do this until election day. Every time sKerry lies slam him with the truth before the evening news hour. Heard someone of Fox News this afternoon say that now that sKerry has accused the Swifties of being a front group for Bush that sKerry now has to prove that charge.

People like Matthews can keep baiting and switching these brave men, but they can't stop DA BOOK. DA BOOK is scaring the bejesus out of them. C'mon Regnery, put it in overdrive!

You rock!!

Man, that is the best contribution idea!

What better way to show your appreciation to these HEROES, than to offer the first lot of your military retainer pay!

SALUTE!

[Lawgvr1955]

And thank you for your service to our country (and continued service helping the Swift Vets). You have an excellent FR homepage. The one picture of the salute to Reagan was particularly moving.

The linkage that the Kerry campaign and media types like Matthews are making, that somehow the Swift Vets are a front for the Bush campaign is clever, and clearly the major talking point; even though denied by both the Bush campaign and the Swift Vets. If the Swift Vets are just a Republican front group, then their claims don't have considered seriously, but only as a dirty campaign trick. And it opens a line to attack Bush on his lack of Vietnam combat experience, which Matthews was trying to get at through his interrogation of Thurlow.

Even though Kerry himself has made the claim, no evidence has been produced to make that linkage, and it is sad that the major media outlets fail to challenge such an unsupported claim, and even are willing to support it.

I'm wondering if we should overthrow the government and put the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth in charge of our country. I feel that we'd be in excellent shape placing ourselves in the hands of these courageous patriots.

Establish the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth oligarchy now!

Cleland's injuries were caused by him blowing himself up with his own grenade.

"According to Drudge Kerry will face a new frontal attack tomorrow: "

Maybe that is the reason he sounded so panicked today!!! absolutely shrill

Just sent in another contribution of $100.00. As a Viet Nam vet, I do this in the name and for the sake of my veteran brothers, for my children, and for my grandchildren.

Bush/Cheney 2004 - Your vote has never been more important.

"You had 5 boats on a river 75 feet wide, supposedly under enemy fire and no boat had a bullet hole."

And not a single person was shot.

[lstanle]

"Has anyone ever asked Rassman why he fell into the river to begin with? I suspect he fell overboard as Kerry poured on the power to flee the scene."

I heard one version that said Rassman was blown off the boat by another explosion, after the #3 boat mine explosion. How many mine explosions were there that day?

[68 grunt]

I gotta scream - John Kasich on o'really - he is another SGCS'er! God, I'm sick of these freaks!

[JustaCowgirl]

If John Kasich ever gets a clue, it'll be the first one.
