Swift Boat Leader Responds to Kerry
Drudge Report/Human Events ^ | September 14, 2006 | John Oneil

Posted on 09/14/2006 3:48:37 PM PDT by RDTF

John Kerry recently volunteered that he was prepared to “kick [the Swift Boat Veterans’] ass from one end of America to the other” and that he would “demolish” us. He ought to take a Christmas cruise to Cambodia to calm down. Maybe he could take a side trip to tour “Genghis Khan” ruins.

It is a little difficult to imagine Kerry (“I voted for it before I voted against it”) kicking the most decorated living serviceman, Bud Day, a Congressional Medal of Honor recipient, or our salty commander, Adm. Roy Hoffman, anywhere. Perhaps Kerry had in mind using a “Rice Fanny Grenade” as he did by mistake on himself shortly before leaving Vietnam. If so, based on the record, he is in far more danger than anyone else.

Kerry and his friends certainly seem to show much greater anger and hatred toward us than toward the murderous al Qaeda terrorists. This is actually a positive thing. Based on his record of switching to adopt the North Vietnamese position in 1971 and (after voting to send our kids to Iraq) proposing to cut and run in Iraq, it is likely that Kerry will be endorsing our positions by 2008 and (in his words) “Swift Boating” himself. If not, it is OK. After living for 34 years with his claim that our comrades, living and dead, were like the army of Genghis Khan, we will always remember and be grateful for the support of the American people in 2004. Nothing he will ever say can demolish that or will speak nearly so loudly.

Mr. O'Neill is a Houston attorney who clerked for Chief Justice William Rehnquist during the Supreme Court's October 1974 term. He authored the New York Times No. 1 bestseller, "Unfit for Command" in 2004.

John Kerry hitting someone with his purse? What a sight that would be.

Russert Interview:

SEN. KERRY: I'd be happy to put the records out. We put all the records out that I had been sent by the military. Then at the last moment, they sent some more stuff, which had some things that weren't even relevant to the record. So when we get--I'm going to sit down with them and make sure that they are clear and I am clear as to what is in the record and what isn't in the record and we'll put it out. I have no problem with that.

MR. RUSSERT: Would you sign Form 180?

SEN. KERRY: But everything, Tim...

MR. RUSSERT: Would you sign Form 180?

SEN. KERRY: Yes, I will. But everything that we put in it, Tim--everything we put in--I mean, everything that was out was a full documentation of all of the medical records, all of the fitness reports. And I'd call on those who have challenged me, let's see their records. I want to see the records of each of those people who have put up a challenge, because some of them have some serious questions in them, and it hasn't been appropriate...

Bumpin' for the Swiftees! Kerry can run all he wants for the office of the presidency, but he can never hide from the truth.

John Kerry: Crisper and stronger
By John Burtis

Wednesday, September 13, 2006

Well, it appears that John Kerry, taking leave of his usual potshots at President Bush, his contorted labyrinthine ideas for managing Iraq, his waffling on the numerous votes for prosecuting the war, and his attempts to hog the camera in Bill Clinton's absence, slipped quietly into New Hampshire on the fifth anniversary of 9/11, for a backyard keening session.

No, Mr. Kerry didn't enter the Granite State to quail about the administration's handling of the war or to expound on yet another attack by the Swift Boat veterans, who continually dredge up the iffy aspects of his career, which swim in his murky wake, but to grovel in supplication before a number of households in Keene and to hide.

So quiet was Mr. Kerry's entry and exit that the Weather Channel never showed a pip of traffic trouble on their cable site for southwest New Hampshire area. His long line of upscale SUV's apparently had little impact on the Sunday drivers, the local rubber-neckers, bicyclists, hikers, Wandervögel, and the local gendarmes had little to do, save ticket double-parkers.

PoliticsNH.com reports that a hundred people showed up for the monotonic patrician's chinwag and a door-to-door neighborhood ramble in the company of Maggie Hassan, a Democratic state senator from Exeter, from the far side of New Hampshire.

Ms. Hassan, a long time Kerry supporter, and Mr. Kerry, were joined in this vast enterprise by Ms. Molly Kelly, reportedly the single Democrat occupying the last and best hopes for dislodging a Republican state senate seat this fall.

Accompanied by these storied women, who hold his local Kerry organization's hopes for 2008 in their hands, Mr. John Kerry of Beacon Hill, of the St. Paul's School in Concord, the illustrious Winter Soldier, whose fictive expressions of war guilt still ring down to us today ­ of heads, and arms - held forth for assembled town's folk on the sod in a back yard, his favorite haunt of late.

In that cozy setting in New Hampshire, with innocence abroad on the granite which lies below the grass, Maggie Wood Hassan described the new carnauba waxed Mr. Kerry observed perorating by the trellis. "He was crisper and stronger."

And it must be said that this clutch, numbering, so the article says, close to a hundred, clearly consisted of more supporters than that poor bedraggled assembly which recently greeted Mr. Kerry in Iowa, whose empty photos still clog the internet.

But, the story concludes, Ms. Hassan has not yet made up her mind about throwing the same amount of personal resources at Mr. Kerry as she shed in 2004, after he seemed to squander it all in his sweaty fustian lurching toward the Presidency.

"I think it's too early to know that," she explained, according to PoliticsNH.

So, there we have it.

Mr. Kerry is sneaking into New Hampshire on the fifth anniversary of 9/11, to share his wit and humor with a klatch of folks in Keene, rather than be seen, like Mr. Clinton and the other members of the Democratic leadership who were playing hide and seek, on this day of days.

Like every major progressive politician, 9/11 is remembered only once a year, on the anniversary of its occurrence, and then every golden pheasant wearing a Democratic golden party pin will be out of town. And small town New Hampshire is as good a place to be as any when you're ducking out of sight. And for a man like Mr. Kerry, lying doggo must be excruciating.

To be caught near a microphone and a camera in a major city would mean a comment on this dastardly attack ­ a retort which might bite one later.

And then Mr. John "Live Shot" Kerry - having gathered wool, bent his ear, rolled his eyes, jawed himself hoarse, littered the yard with painful amends, incessantly begged forgiveness, promised a better run campaign in the future and a more concentrated attack on Mr. Bush - departed for his lumbering wagon train and a vaporous return to the land of higher taxes, Mr. Kennedy, a runaway Supreme Judicial Court, and the Big Dig ­ home, sweet, home.

Of course, I wonder if anyone in attendance questioned Mr. Kerry on his support for ending the New Hampshire primary's pre-eminence and the insertion of those in Nevada and South Carolina.

These are designed to directly blunt the influence of the primary in New Hampshire, the last one in America which forces presidential candidates to actually meet and greet the voters, rather than rely upon the big city political machines and the mountains of money ­ to the delight of Mr. Soros, MoveOn.org, Howard Dean, and the leading Democrats in the US Senate.

But, alas, Mr. Kerry is crisper and stronger, now, and is, most likely, more able to skirt such questions about the wishes of the dreaded people and the vanishing need to wallow among them.

I'll send money to the swiftees again if need be. Best money I ever spent.

Amen! And after I finished reading my copy of the book, I donated it to the patients at Walter Reed.

Great links...thanks.



Washington Post reporter Michael Dobbs has already found a discrepancy confirmed by the Department of the Navy of "at least a hundred pages" missing from those already disclosed by Kerry.

"If you take a look at my SF 180," O'Neill said, "you will see I have authorized the total release of all my records to anyone requesting to see them. But without seeing how Kerry's SF 180 was filled out, everyone is only guessing about what was released."

Kerry will never release his records, Tonk. The SBVT is the unofficial record of his service in country....his shipmates. The rest of his records are held by ONI and the FBI. Voluminous records of his Reserve service have been published by the fawning media and .....by himself.

We can thank the Swiftees for John Kerry not being in the Oval Office today. I hope that the Vets for Truth can do the same to John Murtha in PA-12 Congressional Race.

I think Vets for Truth should be a permanent political arm in America and in the political process.

agree and I think we'll need to again. Kerry needs a defeat so bad that he'll not ever think of running again.
I hope their focus will really be on his unreleased records that he promised. They still aren't released and he's never explained why.
