Michael Russell is not listed anywhere on the Swift Boat Vet site (http://swift1.he.net/~swiftvet/index.php?topic=AboutUs). The article in post #70 states that Mr. Russell is 48. He is too young to be a Swifty.

Uh oh, shades of Don Adams.

Don Adams didn't interrupt someone else's speech.

...Kerry spokesman David Wade told reporters that the heckler was Mike Russell,...

Since info that this man is connected with O'Neil's group came from the Kerry Kampaign I remain skeptical.

Good intentions on your part but I think we all stand as much a chance of getting a reply from the Union as we are waiting for an apology from Tom Hays of AP!

Neither's gonna happen!

According to Petah Jennings, after the President was interrupted on worldwide television in the middle of his speech, it was not a crime but freedom of speech.

I was wondering about that. Sounds like the Dems have knee-jerked AGAIN, with a pathological phobia of the SBVT.

48? It's been 30 years since we left Vietnam, he could have been 18, but I doubt it.

Video and photographs of the "assault" is insufficient. Click on an image to get insite into Don Adams' situation, for example:

It doesn't matter if it's caught on film. Unions are exempt from such assault laws. See my post above for details.

Thanks. I'm 6'1" 277 rock hard pounds and I do not like liberals. I fight back ferociously and I fight to win. Idiot(s) who usually mess with me disastrously learn their efforts are fool hardy and vain.

Secret Service agents took Russell away from the scene of the scuffle and outside the Cincinnati Museum Center, a former railroad terminal. Russell was released because he had not presented any threat to Kerry, said James Emery, agent in charge of the Secret Service's Cincinnati office.

A man wearing a Sheet Metal Workers union shirt who was sitting next to the heckler grabbed him and put him in a headlock. Two other men sitting nearby joined in and pushed the heckler to the ground.

"I have nothing but the greatest respect for people's right to have their opinions and to express them here in the United States of America. That's who we are as Americans," Kerry said. "And I might add, it's a terrific tactic of the Bush team, they love to disrupt, they love to interrupt. They don't want America to hear the truth, but we will talk the truth."

So I guess having an opinion contrary to JF'nK is a tactic.

" while I don't condone the attack by the sheet metal guy, these kinds of outbursts don't help our cause - they just make Kerry look sympathetic, and make our side look like kooks."

You must be standing on your head to have this inverted perspective.

I'm sympathetic to a guy who uses union goons to shut people up.

Gee whiz, the way you say it makes it sound bad... (sarcasm)
