this is a response to last weeks column, "Swift boat lies are a leaky tub"

[mlbford2]

I'll admit, I was a naysayer. I have never been so pleased to be dead wrong. In my defense, it was the first time in my life.:-)

this clown can't even kiss my ass....he'
s a complete fool

[End Times Sentinel]

I've been following this fairly closely, but I missed where the Swifties were debunked?  The claims I knew were "Christmas in Cambodia", "Purple Hearts 1 and 3", and that Kerry "Cut and Run" durring the Bronze Star Medal.  Oh and that he had a V on his Silver Star.

 

What did I miss?

last weeks thread by Forrest Rose, Swift boat lies are a leaky tub

[snooker]

Brinkley admitting that the Cambodia story was a fabrication doesn't count. And the Kerry campaign spokesman saying the first PH wound may have been self inflicted doesn't count either.

I suggest Kerry take a mulligan and redo his service in Viet Nam.

[Zenith]

Why won't KERRY sue the SWBT and settle the whole thing ??

Or , show his Medical Records and the 100 pages of missing Navy Records ???

[Robert A Cook PE]

Hmmmn.

Catch that "reference" (to the Red Badge of Courage) as HE (this writer!) was calling the Swift Boat Vet's liars and cowards?

Accusing the Swift boat vet's of running away from combat, creating excuses, and hiding behind a tree (as others rescued the swimmers and trapped crewman on the injured boat) and fought ....

Gee.

And here MY evidence showed Kerry WAS THE ONE RUNNING AWAY!

Appears to me this writer (Again!) needs a little reminding of WHO is telling the truth, and WHO is hiding behind his friendly liar in the national press corpse!

[QQQQQ]

The Swifties were NOT "debunked". They were attacked by Kerry, but not a single thing they said was proven to be untrue.

[Dont Mention the War]

If sixty emails is "unprecedented" for this guy.....

Oh well, he does write for a rather small paper.

[babyface00]

Future generations of journalists may someday read about Forrest as part of a case study on what killed "Old Media".

[william clark]

Long way to go for a weak pun.

If anyone had figured out how to send anthrax by e-mail, I’d be dead already.

Yet another liberal drama queen.

[headsonpikes]

MAN!

Can Forrest Rose make an apology or what!

"A chill wind is blowing in this nation."

Jeez! What a drama queen.

[oolatec]

"ven if their accounts don’t square with military records"

What part of "Kerry doctored reports that lead to his "official" Navy records" does this dolt not understand?

I guess padding a resume is some completely foreign concept to this person.

[Dead Corpse]

OK. So has this super genius figured out how Kerry got a "V" on his Silver Star yet? Until he clears that one, he's just so much hot air.

"Although some of their recollections might be deliberately distorted, most of the swift-boat vets sincerely believe they’re doing the right thing by trying to get Bush a second term."

Sir,

You still just don't get it. You obviously have not taken the time to read their book or listen to their interviews. Their work has nothing to do with electing Bush, who many of them voted against in 2000.

It has everything to do with preventing Kerry from becoming Commander in Chief. A man they think is literally, "Unfit to Command".

BTW, you forgot to mention that the Kerry campaign has backed off on Kerry's Christmas in Cambodia tale, as well as admitting that his first purple heart was fraudulently earned. How long before the rest of Kerry's tissue of lies dissolve in the Mekong Delta. All the Swift Vets have asked is for Kerry release all of his records, as Bush has done.

The Swift Boat Vets have been "debunked" because the elite media has repeatedly said they have been, always referencing the alleged past debunking but never mentioning the actual points which have been debunked.

Goebbels called this "The Big Lie."

[muawiyah]

"The Red Badge of Courage" was written by a fellow who never saw combat.

Nothing more need be said here.
