Oh my goodness.
What's up with this I wonder?

Go forth and send your OWN email! :)
YOU GO JOHN!!!!!
Not much info. Actually the ABC News website is brand new and they have not fixed it yet for today's date. I noticed it is out of date on alot of shows.
One of the surprising stories we were told? One of the Vietnamese men in the area says he was visited by a man claiming to be a swift boat veteran and a cameraman. He says the veteran was disparaging towards Kerry's conduct in the war, and asked him in an interview about the events of that day
Maybe I'm confused but it sounds like it is ANTI-Swift Vets or why else would John O'Neill be set up by the network?
It sounds like they found the ONE Vietnamese who is willing to say that Vets are trying to make him say bad things about Kerry. Remember that Kerry has a good buddy that works to get American companies into Vietnam today.
Now I am really confused.
Is HERO O'Neill scheduled tonight or not?
One of the rare times I wish I had TV. Go John!
Poor wittle crybabies. I guess they feel threatened by the truth. Two months have passed and they still haven't put the Swifties out of business!
Who will be there for Kerry. I hope it's not that Mueller guy, he's disgusting.
Thank you for this, area.
John Kerry can't afford this. The swift vets brought about a 10 point lead for George Bush when they first appeared on the scene. Combine the reemergence of the vets on the national scene with the showing of the movie about the former POWs and you get big trouble for John Kerry.
Koppel will attack O'Neill like Chris Matthews did-the liberal media will shred Koppel if he doesn't keep faith with the agenda.
Prayers for strength for John O'Neill. It looks like Nightline has found another angle from which to attack him. I don't buy the idea that dems are trying to stop this.
This is the Niteline e-mail going out, but the website for ABC is still on yesterday. As you can see it's dated for October 13th. No update. I got the e-mail.
"And there Andrew found several people who had either witnessed the events of that day, or in some cases, had actually fought against the swift boats. And it is their accounts that you will hear tonight. Do their accounts favor one version or the other?"
Hit job. NYTimes, or was it the WashPost, already had a story visting VC veterans in the "area" trying to frame them as witnesses to the "mine incident" event. It was less than certain what event they were talking about. This ABC piece is a follow-up.
In short, the Swifties said a mine exploded, but there was no shore gunfire. A couple of Americans later said they thought there was shore fire (as Rassmussen said). This "disputed point" was used to dismiss all the Swifties' claims.
The point was esoteric anyway, and had to do with the Bronze Medal for pulling Rassman out of the water. Basically arguing the valor citations is a loser, IMO. Kerry camp found the weakest link and hung on - still.
I forget ...were the Vietnamese the good guys or the bad guys?
I wish I could find a real link but apparently the ABC News website (which they just re-did) is not up to date. I liked the older one better. It still has yesterday's date on it.
It is too bad, too. There is a Pulitzer Prize in it for anyone who does a decent job of telling the truth about Kerry and his whole record. The SwiftBoat Vets do a disservice to the record because they play Kerry's 3 Card Monte game by forcing everyone to look at just 4.5 months of his total 12 years in the USNR. It is Kerry's post-Nam record where the MAJOR lies are buried! The dems' complaints here are, I fear, just another sleazy diversion. Rememeber the tape where Willie was supposed to lie and get mad but never got mad. No one ever talked about him lying only that he didn't get mad. Pure dem dibersion!
