UPDATE: THE NEW YORK DAILY NEWS TODAY CONFIRMED THE EXCLUSIVE BROKEN BY CRUSHKERRY.COM 3 WEEKS AGO. TODAY THEY CONFIRMED THE EXISTENCE OF THE "BROWN BOOK" DOSSIERS COMPILED BY DEMOCRATS CONTAINING DAMAGING PERSONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE SWIFT BOAT VETS IN ORDER TO SMEAR THEM. TODAY'S ARTICLE ALSO DEALS WITH THEIR RELEASING THE PSYCHIATRIC AND CRIMINAL RECORDS OF ONE SWIFT BOAT VET, AS WELL AS HIS SUICIDE ATTEMPT. THIS DISGUSTING BEHAVIOR WAS PREDICTED BY US WEEK AGO IN THE ARTICLE BELOW WHICH WE ARE RE-POSTING FOR REFERENCE.

(PRIOR)UPDATE: The Prowler says the Kerry campaign says the media will not push the Swifties story because they want Kerry to win.

(PRIOR) UPDATE: It’s starting. We guess David Brock over at Media Matters for America received a “Brown Book.” He attempts a character hit on Jerome Corsi, one of the authors of Unfit for Command.

The Democrat National Committee has prepared a full-scale assault against the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth to draw their character and veracity into question, according to one anonymous source inside the DNC. The campaign of character assassination is scheduled to coincide with the release of the book Unfit for Command which reveals inconvenient facts for the Kerry campaign.

“We have prepared what we call ‘Brown Books’ that contain damaging military records, personal credit histories, medical histories, psychiatric histories, divorce records, you name it,” our source told us. "We've got the goods on the Veterans who oppose Kerry."

The “Brown Books” are so called because of their distinctive plain brown covers, which contain no words. Some books have already been delivered to Kerry-friendly reporters. Others are on their way, our source told us. When asked if we could have a copy, our source declined, saying there is a limited number of “Brown Books” and they have been carefully inventoried to control in whose hands the books ended up.

Ultimately the “Brown Books” will end up in the hands of pro-Kerry news agencies and reporters. According to our source, who demanded to remain anonymous for fear of retribution, The New York Times is already on the hook to run a negative series on the Vets, as is the Boston Globe, which is owned by the Times. (Editor’s Note: The Globe has already been caught attempting to attack the veracity of George Elliott, Kerry’s commanding officer in Vietnam.)

In addition, the DNC has deployed a six member team from their press shop whose sole responsibility will be to spin and counter-spin stories about the members of Swift Boat Veterans for Truth with pro-Kerry media entities, like the Times.

When asked if this was just another example of John Kerry slandering Vietnam Vets – like he did in 1971 as a member of the Vietnam Veterans Against the War – our source snapped, “No! This is warfare. The only way we’re going to get out of this is to force everyone to question their motives and credibility.”

“If they want to spread rumors and stories about John Kerry, we’ll spread rumors and stories about them. And some of the things they did in Vietnam were a lot worse than what they say John Kerry did,” our source concluded ominously.

Stay tuned. We will keep you posted as this nasty story develops.

And there's this:
"When Kerry is asked about the nightmares that haunted his sleep for years after he returned from Vietnam, he shrugs. "I don't think I've had a nightmare in a long time," he says. But then Heinz begins to mimic Kerry having a Vietnam nightmare.

"Down! Down, down!" she yells, patting her hands down on her auburn hair.

"I haven't gotten slapped yet," she says. "But there were times when I thought I might get throttled."

Kerry quivers his right foot and steers the discussion to the counseling programs he has supported for Vietnam veterans. Asked if he has been in therapy himself, he non-answers. "It doesn't bother me anymore, I just go back to sleep."

Heinz presses him. "Not therapy for the dreams, therapy for the angst," she says, and looks quizzically at him, awaiting an answer. Kerry shakes his head "No."

Thanks for posting this. BTTT.

The Daily News seems to be on a roll lately detailing DNC shenanigans. Is Mort Zuckerman trying to compete with Rupert on content now?

[Shermy]

So does he have some good reasons for these nightmares, or is he just again coopting some about Vietnam veteran-lore into his act?

[Leatherneck_MT]

Personally why all the pussy footing around?

If the DNC wants a war, then by god I'm ready to GIVE them a war.

A Real one with real bullets.

[dalebert]

And just how do the dems reveal the swifties military records and we can't see Kerry's.

[Mitchell]

It sounds like his wife thinks he has a good reason, although she may or may not know what the reason is.

Why would she talk about this in front of a reporter, though?

People don't normally talk that way about their spouse in public unless there is a lot of animosity there. I discount the idea that it was staged, since I don't see how Kerry benefits from such talk. This was in 2002 anyway.

So I'm uncertain how to interpret this interview.

[atomicpossum]

The very leak by this 'source' is part of the smear campaign, to tell these vets to shut up or they'll get it.

[victim soul]

Great idea. Christ Matthews hadn't even read their book before he attacked them.

[Smartass]

SOUNDS LIKE BLACKMAIL?

Dumb, stupid move...However, right out of the DNC play book!

I see you have met my mother-in-law.

Kerry and his Brownshirts are picking on the wrong guys . So what if they "expose" divorces, etc.? These heroes of VietNam, who are now heroes for coming forward to spare the country a Kerry Kommunist Regime, have thousands, if not millions, of voters on their side.

Look at the polls today. Kerry's ship is sinking, and a blast of rice in the ass won't earn him a pass this time.

[Palladin]

Great post. What exactly have these vets to fear from the trust-fund brats of the liberal elite?

These gallant men--the Swift Boat Vets Against Kerry-- can brush off the pestilent nits and the lice that produced them.

Here's the News article, for those who asked:

A Swift (& deadly) response

Sen. John Kerry called a member of the Swift Boat Veterans For Truth over the weekend to try to reason with him over the group's attacks on his record. But fellow Democrats aren't hesitating to try far more aggressive tactics.

A group of Democratic loyalists is compiling incriminating dossiers on the members of the veteran group - and they sent us a preview of what might be in store for Swift Boat activist James Zumwalt, son of illustrious Adm. Elmo Zumwalt - and it isn't pretty.

Zumwalt "attempted to kill himself with an overdose of prescription drugs," after the murder of his ex-wife's fiance, John Kowalczyk, according to the dossier, which is footnoted to news sources, and was "convicted of reckless driving after chasing Kowalczyk at a high speed on the highway."

Zumwalt stepped into the line of fire when he testified with the controversial Swift vets at the National Press Club in Washington last May.

Not only this, but the fact that today Judicial Watch released FBI documents showing Kerry received laundered money from the Chinese in his 1996 campaign. Looks like the Clinton-FBI didn't care to do anything about it.

[CyberAnt]

I think they might be connected too.

I didn't realize it until I read where there was speculation that the original idea for the breakin was to find information about the VVAW. And .. that proves to me the repubs already knew there was a dem connection to the VVAW.

[Howlin]

I see you have met my mother-in-law.

OMG, we may just be related.......LOL.

[Khan Noonian Singh]

Was Kerry intertwixed in the Colby/Shackley/Clines Phoenix Project in Viet Nam? Maybe that is from where his nightmares arise.

The topick comes up more than once with him.....

From a Meet the Press interview with Tim Russert, 6 May 2001, http://hnn.us/articles/3552.html:

MR. RUSSERT: By your own comments, Bob Kerrey was not alone in doing the things that he did.

SEN. KERRY: Oh, of course, not. And not only that, we, the government of our country, ran an assassination program. I mean, Bill Colby has acknowledged it. We had the Phoenix Program, where they actually went into villages to eliminate the civilian infrastructure of the Vietcong. Now, you couldn't tell the difference in many cases who they were. And countless veterans testified 30 years ago to that reality. And I think--look, there's no excusing shooting children in cold blood, or women, and killing them in cold blood. There isn't, under any circumstances. But we're not asking, you know, nor is Bob Kerrey saying, "Excuse us for what we did." We're asking people to try to understand the context and forgiveness. And I think the nation needs to understand what the nation put its young in a position to do, and move on and take those lessons and apply them to the future.

From the New York Sun, 12 March 2004, http://daily.nysun.com/Repository/getFiles.asp?Style=OliveXLib:ArticleToMail&Type=text/html&Path=NYS/2004/03/12&ID=Ar00100:

HOW KERRY QUIT VETERANS GROUP AMID DARK PLOT

When Talk Turned To Assassination He Exited, Vet Says

The anti-war group that John Kerry was the principal spokesman for debated and voted on a plot to assassinate politicians who supported the Vietnam War....


Gerald Nicosia’s 2001 book “Home To War” reports that one of the key leaders of Vietnam Veterans Against the War, Scott Camil, “proposed the assassination of the most hard-core conservative members of Congress,as well as any other powerful, intractable opponents of the antiwar movement.” The book reports on the Kansas City meeting at which Mr. Camil’s plan was debated and then voted down.

Mr. Nicosia’s book was widely praised by reviewers as varied as General Harold Moore, author of “We Were Soldiers”; Gloria Emerson, who had been a New York Times reporter during the Vietnam War, and leftist Howard Zinn. Mr. Kerry himself stated in a blurb on the cover that the book “ties together the many threads of a difficult period.” Mr. Kerry hosted a party for the book in the Hart Senate Office Building that was televised on C-SPAN.

Another source is an October 20, 1992, oral history interview of Scott Camil on file at the University of Florida Oral History Archive. In it, Mr. Camil speaks of his plan for an alternative to Mr. Kerry’s idea of symbolically throwing veterans’ medals over the fence onto the steps of the Capitol during the Dewey Canyon III demonstration in Washington in April of 1971.

“My plan was that, on the last day we would go into the [congressional] offices we would schedule the most hardcore hawks for last — and we would shoot them all,” Mr. Camil told the Oral History interviewer. “I was serious.”

In a phone interview with the Sun this week, Mr. Camil did not dispute either the account in the Nicosia book or in the oral history. He said he plans to accept an offer by the Florida Kerry organization to become active in Mr. Kerry’s presidential campaign. Campaign aides to Mr. Kerry invited Mr. Camil to a meeting for the senator in Orlando last week, but they did not meet directly.

Mr. Camil was known to colleagues in the anti-war movement as “Scott the Assassin.” Mr. Camil told The New York Sun he got the name in Vietnam for “sneaking down to the Vietnamese villages at night and killing people.”

According to the Nicosia book and interviews with VVAW members who were involved, at the Vietnam Veterans Against the War Kansas City leadership conference, Mr. Camil tried to put his plan into effect. He called together eight to 10 Marines to organize something he called “The Phoenix Project.” The original Phoenix Project during the Vietnam War was an attempt to destroy the Viet Cong leadership by assassination. Mr. Camil’s Phoenix Project planned to execute the Southern senatorial leadership that was financing the Vietnam War. Senators like John Stennis, Strom Thurmond, and John Tower were his targets, according to Mr. Camil. They were to be killed during the Senate Christmas recess the following month....

Also, Kerry says he was running guns in Cambodia. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1193477/posts

Finaly, Kerry says that he worked with the CIA on secret missions in Viet Name. And who could forget the << good-luck hat >> that he got from << a CIA guy as we went in for a special mission in Cambodia >>? I won't up and bother with a link, you've all seen this.

[Wil H]

Why aren't we starting to see the results of Kerry's inability to rebuke the SBVT in the polls yet?

We are, he/s dropped six points in Arizona in the space of two weeks, and is losing in other states too, Florida reports Bush now in the lead.
