TIMES-DISPATCH ^ | 11-08-04 | TYLER WHITLEY

[Ptaz]

And this nation owes the Swiftvets a debt of gratitude. You put your time, your reputations and your future on the line to tell us what kind of man John Kerry truly was. THANK YOU!

[snarkytart]

Thank you guys!!

[samtheman]

Thank you, swiftvets.

I'm buying yet another copy of UNFIT FOR COMMAND today. As a celebration gift to O'Neil.

Besides giving money to the group, I've bought several copies already and given them out to friends.

[iceskater]

They've done their duty - once in VietNam and once again to help prevent Kerry from being CIC. They've gone above and beyond.

Thank you SwiftVets!

I salute the swfities........they are the real american heroes, not comrade kerry the viet con. Will Kerry finally sign the 180 so we can finally see he was had his discharge changed from less the honorable, that he wrote the after action report for his bronze star, and that his military 'exploits' were a sham perpetrated on his fellow sailors in order to further his political aspirations? I doubt if he will do any of these things, but the swifties brought the truth forward, and even MSM couldn't help protect the SS Kerry campaign.

Please keep up the good work and help more people learn that J. F. Kerry was worse than Benedict Arnold.

As did I, we owe a huge debt of gratitude; First these guys fought bravely in Viet Nam, then they helped prevent a Kerry presidency.

SALUTE!

[AirForceMom]

Donating to the swift vets was the best thing I ever did.
Thank you all!!

Its mission accomplished, Swift Boat Veterans for Truth has essentially dissolved.

Kinda like an old spaghetti western, the villian is vanquished and Clint Eastwood rides his horse slowly into the distance as the credits roll.

I’m going to put on an old Ennio Morricone CD.

Yeah - I gave SBV money after watching Lawrence OD'd (AKA O'Donnell) shout down O'Neill on Scarborough. The Dems never got it that 1) People wanted to hear what these guys had to say and 2) The more they tried to squelch them, the more it said about Kerry's real record. OD'd is still on McLaughlin Group - A fact that says it all about that rag.

[Tribune7]

Thank you and God bless you Swifties.

[NotADove]

Are we going to hear of Kerry's military record?

[hawkaw]

This was one of the most interesting parts of this campaign.

The other interesting issue was the CBS disaster.

Both issues helped Bush43by by putting sKerry's on the defensive over his military career and putting the MSM on the defensive on Bush43's military career. Thanks Swiftees.

[kahoutek]

Not if he can help it.

The very fact that he was defeated soundly in the national election assures him of even more support in Mass....

[SBOinTX]

By not fighting back against the Swifties, Kerry admitted they were right. NICE CAMPAIGN STUPID!

Good job Swifties. You've done your duty again for this country.

Their Veterans’ Day

Some said let you apologize
But that wouldn’t do it in our eyes.
A man astride of each position
Could we believe your true contrition?
And on deaf ears your words would fall
To those whose names are on that Wall
The vindication they now accept
In settling up this long-held debt,
Is that for them we gave our best
And denied you, John, your lifelong quest.
We fought for them, fought for our own,
To make you reap what you had sown.
Listen carefully John to what we say,
November 2d was their Veterans’ Day.
