Swift Boat Vets fighting for their country again
Human Events/ The National Conservative Weekly ^ | 8-27-04 | by Patrick J. Buchanan

Posted on 08/30/2004 9:40:52 AM PDT by nyconse

Why are the Big Media savaging the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth? Why are the Kerryites telling us to move on and debate the real issues--health care, education, the economy?

Because they know this could kill John Kerry's candidacy. Because they know this is not just about Vietnam, but also about the credibility and character of the man who would be President.

Why did you excerpt this? Human Events Online is not on the list. Maybe the list is not up to date?

The swift vets are different from the average run of the mill group. To begin with the aren't easily intimidated. Even with the best threats and intimidation techniques the demons have to throw at them they don't back down. Once you stand up to the best the rats have to offer you win. They will and are winning.

Wow! WOW! This swift vet story just gets more and more powerful the more I read about it. This, if it gets plenty of airplay, will surely sink Kerry.

He's both an admitted war criminal and a pathological liar.

And the Democrat nominee.

He really is representative of what the Democrat party has become.

McCain must be severely brain damaged. Who did he think was selling him out when he was being held captive, I just don't get the guy at all.

What McCain is saying: What Kerry DID TO ME is wrong. What Kery DID TO SWIFTVETS is okay.

No, Not brain damaged. Don't judge McSlinky on just the recent history. You need to go way-back. A long look at him would show that maybe he has to play soft with kerry. Could kerry blow McSpecial treatment's etc. wide open? Maybe why W has to play soft with them too. Pop open McCain and they all look real bad. The Game Is "The Game"

McCain would like to be the nominee in 2008. Personally I don't think he will be alive in 2008. So let's give him his due for stepping up to the plate for the party at this time, whatever his motive.

If I thought McCain was sincere, I would give him his due. He's only got one person in mind: McCain (for 2008)

Sorry, I just can't take credit for posting it, since I didn't.

Unless, of course, I actually posted it from Cambodia.

At Christmastime.

I will, however, take credit for being the second to reply.
