Kerry Fit To Sue "UNFIT" author

KERRY FIT TO SUE 'UNFIT' AUTHOR

November 18, 2004 -- LIBERAL loser John Kerry might be planning to strike back at John O'Neill, the "Unfit for Command" author who claims some of the credit for Kerry's defeat, sources say.

In the book, published by Regnery not long before the election, O'Neill — who, like Kerry, commanded swift boats in Vietnam — attacked Kerry's war record and branded him a traitor.

O'Neill sold over 800,000 copies and his group, Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, raised $25 million to battle the Kerry campaign and ran TV ads trashing the candidate. Former Sen. Bob Dole endorsed the group.

O'Neill says he wrote the book because Kerry called his fellow Vietnam vets monsters, terrorists and war criminals, for which he has never apologized.

Not only dead-on and well said--but this can be generalized to all the weepy Leftists out there who hate Bush....they know they'll never be people of honor and seek to drag him down to their level...awful hollowness, projection, hatred, self-loathing....what a bunch of Woody Allens! Yet God gave us all brains and free wills....some of us--who may be disinclined to believe in evolution...survive as the fittest minds and wills--and rise above the fray to succeed!

He's not going to sue. His entire career of lying would be exposed....yawn.

Nice fake-out though Johnny boy.

Oh, this little fakeout is just another piece of evidence that LIBERALS LIE ABOUT EVERYTHING, ALL THE TIME.

Kerry doesn't have the balls. He's all talk, and even that's cowardly.

Yeah, the yappers are usually hiding their fear. I'd LOVE to see Kerry do this...would LOVE it!

But you're right...he doesn't have the stones to go through with it.

I concur. But, can't you imagine the discomfort this bum feels -- on a daily basis-- as he walks the Halls of Congress -- with just this much of his dirty laundry hanging on the line? A DD-180 would be sure death!!

I suspect Kerry is self-delusional at this point, and is still living in a fantasy land, trying to save emotional face.

In my tour with Admiral Moorer, I met a number of such types --Claiborne Pell comes to mind -- and to a lesser degree, Mendel Rivers. These gents really operated on another planet. And, of course McNamara. It is impossible to have a rational conversation with these types of Washingtonians; and their manifest egocentric traits trump any goodness in their souls.

Washington is a dreadful place for a sane and rational human being. Over time, most transplants either change significantly for the worse, sell themselves, or, in many instances break under the strain, and become totally ineffectual as leaders...opting to do the standard Tues-Thursday bit...and pr the heck out of their constituents.

Kerry is a chicken-sh!t traitor.

I've read he's literally a 'crack' shot at wasting the enemy, so long as their backs are in his sights.

Is that how he earned the label: 'crack' shot?

The truth is an absolute defense.
I doubt that John O'Neill can be intimidated.


But sKerry has to get over the first hurdle, see: http://img42.exs.cx/img42/7651/KerryGrimmace2.jpg

Kerry WANTS TO SUE?

HA! - HA!

O'Neill spent half of his time PLEADING for Kerry to try just that. That's how the documentation would be more likely to get out - on discovery. I can't count how many times O'Neill BEGGED Kerry to sue him. And Kerry wouldn't even seem to consider it.

He doesn't have to prove the whole book is false, just one piece.

That's very simplistic. There are a couple of errors concerning the 13 MAR incident, such as mention of a PCF-35 (which Corsi based on Brinkley's book, I guess). It doesn't matter. And the mistake that Screamin' Larry O'Donnell harped on was O'Neill suggesting that the last line of the report indicated who sent it, rather than who received the message in a separately typed line. But there seems good reason to believe the assertion that Kerry was its source based on the time it was sent, and just who would have been around at that time of night on the US Coast Guard Spencer, which has been identified by the sender's routing indicator.

I was, in fact, one of those principally involved in the threads at the Swiftie site where this mistake was uncovered, based on historically later documentation of what these messages contained, how they were blocked, etc. The other, 'NavyChief', who had discovered this timeline and series of likelihoods later on, and myself and others were quick to point out that while the former was a mistake in reading the dispatches, the latter essentially makes a very tight argument that the original assertion was true. In fact, this was precisely what O'Neill was trying to say as Larry performed his very bad Sam Kinnison impression on national tv. A) none of the other officers that day now claim to have written it - leaving only Droz, who was KIA shortly afterward. B) it's an account that favors Kerry and seems to ignore the essential events when he went absent down river. And C) only Pees and Kerry would still have been aboard when the message sent.

The only other complaint Kerry might have is what turned out to be the main complaint with Kerry, that day, just noted above. It's not whether they received fire. That's logically ludicrous if one examines the action reports. The main complaint with Kerry was that he fled in the face of what he believed was hostile enemy fire. Thus, there appeared to be a pattern by his Sandusky and Thorsen, et al, to constantly brag of Kerry's bravery, of facing fire, even of being eager to join the Navy because he was 'gung-ho' for firefights, all of which was contradicted by other accounts even favorable to Kerry; and all an obvious cover for how Kerry behaved, generally, and specifically that day. In fact, if people remember the idea that Kerry fled in the face of what he believed was enemy fire, that one idea, alone, might have cost him the election with many voters.

In order to prvoe libel, he'll have to sign the SF-180.

This proves the selflessness of John O'Neill. He knew this, before he ever wrote one word of "Unfit". He was willing to go through the risk and cost of being sued, just to get Kerry to sign the SF-180!

This is a compassionate man and we all owe him our sincerest gratitude!

Now, "the Kerry camp is thinking about filing a libel lawsuit against Regnery and O'Neill," a source close to the candidate's inner circle tells PAGE SIX. "I don't know if they will actually go forward, but consideration is serious. If Kerry plans on running again in 2008 -- and I'm hearing he will -- it would make sense that he'd file the suit."

Kerry's rep, David Wade , said he hadn't heard about any proposed lawsuit, but promised to look into it.

KERRY FIT TO SUE 'UNFIT' AUTHOR

Kerry plans on running again in 2008? Hmmm... Lemme see.... Let's do the math....

In 2008, "Anybody but Bush" won't be on the ticket.... which means that some significant subset of 70% of "Kerry's" 2004 vote will be, in a very real sense, negotiable....

This wont happen....O'Neil would like nothing more in the world than to get JFnK on the witness stand.
