Some readers of HuffingtonPost.com have initiated a new wave of harassing phone calls to Swift Boat veterans who questioned John Kerry's military record in the 2004 campaign -- and the website's proprietors remained ignorant of it for days, despite repeated complaints.
Last Saturday morning, HuffPost, Arianna Huffington's year-old online effort, linked to a story regarding the release of Navy personal information. By Saturday afternoon, two registered "trusted" HuffPost commenters posted the names and personal information of more than a dozen Swift Boat veterans. "SatanLivesinUSA" wrote at 2:15 p.m., June 24, "SwiftBoatVets who need some Black Ops done on them. I have some very good ideas I gleaned from 'CIA BOOK of DIRTY TRICKS' Don't get mad, get EVEN." Minutes later, at 2:19 p.m., "YvonneMoorhead" repeatedly pasted SatanLivesinUSA's comments on that page and on another Huffington Post post. Elsewhere, in February, YvonneMoorhead had posted, "F*** em, they died for the greater Isreali [sic] goal of stealing more land by having its proxy America invade Iraq and next Iran. They are not called Masters of Deceit for nothing."
Aside from one or two complaints, fellow commenters did not object to the posting of the information or the threats. Some of these men reported receiving harassing and threatening phone calls over the weekend. At 2:30 a.m., Saturday, June 24, Adrian Lonsdale said he received a call from an apparently drunk man claiming to be another veteran, Van Odell. The caller said, "Our lies are all over the Internet. We are in deep ****."
After the contact information was posted on the Huffington Post, the harassing calls increased in frequency.

What else do you expect from the irrelevant un-American?
See tag line.
They will be confounded when Hillary pulls the Swifties out of mothballs. New York Times will provide flank support with articles entitled such as "Rethinking the Swift Boaters' Case".
Here's hoping those Swifties sue the blog for their obvious lack of moderation. Here's hoping those who called were as stupid as most Huffington minions, and their number showed up on caller ID.
Just more from the floundering anti-American left...they just don't know what to do with themselves. I cannot imagine having the only purpose of destroying my country, undermining the military that protects my freedoms...and lead a life that is TOTALLY UNPRODUCTIVE when it comes to my own country.
Put that self-proclaimed elitist [female dog] on a one-way boat to Cuba, then let's see how far tearing down Cuba gets her...
I think you're onto something. Of course, it may be not be tied to Hillary by name, but it seems quite plausible.
This reads like aiding terrorism and death threats against American citizens. If this report is true, the FBI should look into these death threats, and hold HuffPost responsible for its part in the proposed attack on the Swift boat veterans.
If I were a swift boat veteran, I think I'd know how I'd handle each caller, and it wouldn't be printable.
Am I the only person who upon hearing Arianna Huffington's voice instantly want to hear the theme song from "Green Acres". Oliver!!!!!!!
This is so juvenile.
They probably ask, "Is your refrigerator running?"
The Huffinton Post. Waste of cyberspace. Need to have a little on-line urban renewal.
