Failed presidential candidate John Kerry is considering filing a libel suit against the leader of the group Swiftboat Veterans for Truth, John O'Neill, whose book "Unfit for Command" is credited with capsizing Kerry's Vietnam-based campaign.
"I don't know if they will actually go forward," a member of Kerry's inner circle told New York Post's PAGE SIX, edited by Richard Johnson. "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."

That would be great! Lets see why Kerry refuses to make his military record public. Bush let his be public.
This is just typical demoncRAT stuff. Just like the demoncRAT hack who sued Drudge then had to pay Drudge a settlement. DemoncRATs use the courts to try and sway public opinion. After all, "why would Kerry sue for defamation if defamation didn't occur?!?" We will hear this over and over from the MSM.
No way, as they say "Discovery is a b***h".
No chance. He would be forced to sign during discovery the Form 180. He will never do that.
#1 - Kerry has been lying all along about his military record, and John O'Neill would slaughter him on the witness stand like a sacraficial worm.
#2 - We'd all pay good money to the Swiftees to watch the show.
Never happen! But I'd pay good money (again) to see it!
Kerry thinking of running in 2008?
The Dems spent over 600,000,000 to see Kerry lose. They are not going to spend another half-billion to see him lose again. If they do they are bigger dopes than I thought.
Suing the Swifties? That would really get the Veterans' vote for the Dems.
Ooh. This would mean "discovery", right? If so, bring it on, Kerry! Bwaaaaaaahahahahahaha
SoreKerryman.
It just gets better and better.
"The loser is gonna run again? "
In the fine tradition of Adlai Stevenson, Lyndon LaRouche, Ralph Nader, and Ross Perot.
Nothing like opening a can of whupass and finding it just exploded all over yourself....
Is John Kerry sure he wants to pursue this?
Not a single mistake in the whole book, let alone falsehood, and this clown seriously believes he can challenge with a defamation action??
What an obstinate fool. He obviously STILL hasn't even read it. Or if he has, then Kerry has started believing his own shit. How incredibly typical of liberals...and sad. Constantly re-imagining life as he wished it to be with his cocky lies, he is now firmly detached from any semblance of reality. Must think he can use his $15 million stash to coerce a legal settlement by egregious levels of discovery.
Won't work, because as pointed out, that's a two-way street...and he has a lot more to hide.
I hope and pray...
nothing like a wake for the dead!
and I'll furnish the booze! LMAO
Great, bring it on. Now we get to subpoena the missing records. Yeeha.
John O'Neill has been asking Moi Kerri to sue him since the Swift Vets started the crumble of the Kerri Kookie.
My Cabinet is stocked with popcorn but it may not be enough, I'd better run to the store....
Gosh, maybe then he'll have to sign PS Form 180.
Go ahead, make our day!!!
He doesn't have the guts.
<><
This probably came from one of the folks still waiting for the "final vote count". Love those brilliant intelectuals in the democrat party that develop stategy on fantasy.They are so easy.
I sincerely hope Kerry files a lawsuit. IF he does, then he will HAVE to release ALL of his military records as part of the discovery process. THEN it will be shown that O'neil was right about his accusations. Kerry will never file this suit, because then the truth will come out.
