How Kerry whistleblower suffered for truth [Swiftboat vet Steve Gardner]

Chicago Sun-Times ^ | November 29, 2004 | BY MARY LANEY

“Gardner got an e-mail from his company... informing him that his services would no longer be necessary.”

Gardner was lucky... he had a lot of others saying the same thing. If it was just one or two 'whistleblowers', the story would never have seen the light of day... they would have had a 'fatal accident'.

[Drango]

Gardner's story is one that bears telling.

~sigh. Chicago Sun Times tells it after the election.

"Gardner's story is one that bears telling."

But not until AFTER the election, right MSM?

Seems like the generosity of FReepers could be tapped for this poor guy.....

[MEG33]

God bless the truth tellers..May he get a better job soon.

This person should contact a good lawyer with a record of experience in this area -- possibly, he should start with the head of the Swift Boat vets group, who is himself a lawyer.

[anniegetyourgun]

A "could be worse" story.....

[Iris7]

People have a strange desire to believe that politics is not played for keeps. Gardner still could end up pushing up daisies unless he shuts up now.

Kerry never did anything I can find out about to make the 170 million dollars he claims for his net worth. His wives say he only got a few million from them. (Wonder what his real net worth is. Big bucks are real easy to hide in Bermuda, the Channel Islands, etc.} Think the folks who made that "investment" in Kerry are happy campers?

"If it was just one or two 'whistleblowers', the story would never have seen the light of day... they would have had a 'fatal accident'."

Agree with you on that one.
Nevertheless, Freepers must find a way to help this guy.
Brae American heroes like him should not be allowed to go destitute for helping to save the country for the horrors and the abomination of a possible Hanoi John Kerry regime. Is there something that is being done in that direction right now so we can contribute?

[Cicero]

This seems to be the company that fired him:

I told him Kerry was a coward. He would patrol the middle of the river. The canals were dangerous. He wouldn't go there unless he had another boat pushing him."

I can see "coward", "opportunist", and "fraud" written all over his long, dull, and pretentious face! He is a cold, soulless human being.

[kittymyrib]

Surely there is a good-hearted conservative lawyer who would assist Gardner in suing the pants off of Kerry and that odious "historian" Brinkley.

[beyond the sea]

Seems like the generosity of FReepers could be tapped for this poor guy....

YES......... let's do this somehow.

[Iris7]

He will get a job right soon if he recants, says that evil pubs bribed him to lie about JFK. Real good job if he can pick out Carl Rove from a line up.

[Ambient]

I agree a fund raiser for this guy would be admirable..

[jcon40]

Generosity ? Agreed !

Anyone know where or how to send him a few bucks to tide him over ?

[kcvl]

Open Secrets shows John Pietrzak, president of Millennium Information Services, gave $500 to Carol Moseley-Braun in 1997, with earlier amounts to Tom Harkin and Dan Rostenkowski. No money to Republicans.

[Stentor]

Bump.

[Coop]

Talk about bravery - then and now.

[Ros42]

I'm definitely up for a fund raiser for this brave hero!!
