They did a great job blasting the chameleon....You have to love them.

It is about time, but it's going to take a lot to make up for the twenty-five years of smearing Vietbnam Vets, and what they had to live with.

Maybe someday we'll hear about the atrocities of the North Vietnamese when they took over the north of that country, maybe we'll finally honor Nick Rowe.

The Swifties gave all of us Vietnam vets a long overdue day of vindication, and for that we should all be eternally grateful.

Now, it's time for John O'Neill to write a definitive historical commentary on the war, its heroes and America's "enemies from within" - who's efforts on behalf of tyrannical communism led to the 1st defeat in America's history. To permit America's domestic enemies free rein to now misrepresent that period permanently in recorded history would be a travesty.

I am just glad that I don't have to get up each morning to read a story about president Kerry.

Life is good.

The New York Times repeatedly used "unsubstantiated" as its adjective describing the Swift Boat veterans' allegations without ever exerting its considerable power to investigate.

This election showed the deserved irrelevance of the 'Old Grey Lady' to modern American politics.

WE didn't lose THAT war, and we didn't lose THIS war..
It was cowardly, self serving leftist traitors like Kerry that lost the war for us and for the Vietnamese people..

Kerry continues to insult our living and fallen warriors, by his presence in the Senate and outside of prison bars..

Kerry stood for and continues to stand for EVERYTHING I despise and hold responsible for slandering the good names or our true warrior brothers and patriots..

All the money in the world will not defend Kerry from the ghosts of those men..
They are waiting.....

I await the opportunity to piss on his muddy grave.

Semper Fi

"The New York Times repeatedly used "unsubstantiated" as its adjective....."

The Boston Globe, and others in the media have also used the terms debunked and discredited in articles which I have read. I do not know how they substantiate such terms, but they use them anyhow. When called upon it, the media types simply do not respond.

My dad(who was in Nam when Kerry gave his 71 speech) is usually a fairly calm guy and isn't one to gloat. He voted against Kerry and for Bush.

The day after the election, he opened up a bottle of his best wine (and he's not a big drinker) and just kicked back in his recliner watching and laughing at the talking heads cry in their beer.

[oldbrowser]

The true post mortem of Kerry's defeat is simply the last hurrah of simple patriots, amateurishly but fervently rising up and banding together, with few resources, to defeat the mainstream media's boy and Juggernaut.

I can hardly wait for the movie. There is at least one movie being planned, right? Has anyone seen Mel Gibson around lately?

Thank you Swifties - you did what hundreds of us wanted to do and didn't - God Bless You and keep You safe till the next time.

Wounds from war heal but the scars are visible forever. Mental scars are not visible and most never heal. Kerry wounded several generations with his lies. Political lies are easily covered up but lies that affect people are remembered. I did not kill babies.

I WILL NOT FORGET!!!

As important, the self-image of many reporters was endangered. Their myths of our pervasive evils in defending Vietnamese freedom, and of their valiant memories of mounting school libraries' ramparts, could not take the incongruence of exposure.

LOL!!

[alnick]

God bless Bruce Kesler, John O'Neill and the Swiftees, Scott Swett, Jerry Corsi and the other patriots who worked together to bypass old media to get the word out about John Kerry. But for these people, we very well may have seen a Kerry presidency in '5.

[Nick Danger]

Scott Swett ping.

[Diva Betsy Ross]

Awesome post and story. These Vietnam Veterans represent the best that America can offer. For more reasons than beating John Kerry.

I have two Christmas wishes: One is that the troops who are serving today know that we are grateful for them, and two- that the Vietnam Vets know this election was as much about each one of them as it was about John Kerry. We never got to show our appreciate and love for the Vietnam Vets before, we did back in Nov of 2004.

Thank you Swifties for you have given us so much.

[JPJones]

thanks to the Vietnam vets...again, for saving us from Kerry.
