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."

suit?..trail?...truth be told?
no chance

GREAT! Put Kerry under oath and ask him all sorts of questions. Get Kerry's diary and make it public, make his entire Navy file public. Please do it!
"Bring It On!"
Actually, this would be fantastic. Kerry would actually have to get on the stand and testify and then be cross-examined. That would MAKE the pig have to speak, and to O'Neil's lawyers. I'll send Mr. O'Neil some $$$ to help pay his costs. You bet your lifesavers!!!
Preparing Popcorn....
There will be no lawsuit. The swiftvets could get all the blocked documents in the discovery process. Kerry would be exposed then.
A lawsuit that would force Kerry to reveal his complete military record -- including the likely dishonorable discharge? Nice to dream about, but NOT A CHANCE.
If he were to actually do it, all his underwear will be hanging on the line. The discovery process will uncover all his dirty little secrets.
Good Luck, Kerry.
I'm sure the countersuit from O'Neil will be a doozy!
If sKerry thought he any chance of winning this type of suit he would have filed it already; the Swiftvets have been around for awhile. What a pathetic loser. I'm sure he was afraid that if he did sue, it would prove everything they said, and that would have tanked his campaign even worse.
The effort would only be to secure their silence, if possible, with a friendly bench or, failing that, to bleed the Swifties dry with legal costs. Timing will be what decides the day, because they won't file too far in advance and risk a contrary decision or chance for fund raising to meet legal costs.
BTW, this has been posted a few times already.
Oscar Wilde made the same mistake. He actually beat the rap in criminal court, then decided he could win a civil case. Wrong. The civil case brought out testimony that was used against him in a subsequent criminal trial.
Kerry will threaten but won't follow through. But we already knew that about him.
DUH, have sKerry laywers heard of DISCOVERY?.....could get ugly quick
If it's filed and they do go through with the lawsuit; it'll be interesting to see how they choose to attack TRUTH!
They (Kerry & cronies) won't... Typical F'n Dem Losers, beat the dog when the master farts!
We hauled his lies out into the open once....
Now we will do the detailed autopsy on every one of his bogus claims & medals.... its called "discovery"....
Regards
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLO!
Yeah, right...
John Communist Kerry is fortunate he was given an honorable discharge by Clinton. He's fortunate he wasn't prosecuted for fighting with the Communists against America during the Vietnam War.
Bring it on Kerry, you loooooossssssseerrrrrrrr.
The loser is gonna run again? How stupid is he? Hitlary will stomp him like a bug!
