....."He said he realizes now that he should have used television advertisements to push back at the Swift boat group, whose claims of Kerry's war-service exaggerations were rebutted by most of those who served alongside him.
"Until they get bitten for doing it, they'll try to do it, and that's why we have to fight back so hard," Kerry said in the interview. "I just am tired of these guys. They're a bunch of frauds. They're bullies.""
This post is for Tonk....he'd be hoppin' mad...
So when is he going to sign SF 180?
I still have absolutely no idea why any veteran would run as a Democrat.
Kerry calling ANYONE a fraud is laughable. Putz.
It took this piece forever to get to the actual charge against Murphy, and it was non-specific. This article is an unpaid advertisement for Kerry.
Well since his opponent did question Murphy's survice then I suppose it's a legitimate question. What has Fitzgerald done to defend his country?

..."The Democrat, who worked for Kerry during the 2004 presidential campaign, also alluded to the ''Swift Boat'' attacks on the senator.
''I was proud to defend you then,'' Murphy said, ''and I'm proud that you're here to defend me today.''
About 400 people crammed onto a terrace outside the student center at Bucks County Community College in Newtown Township for the rally.
While a few protesters hovered in the background — one man held signs reading ''Give the terrorists a break — vote Democrat'' and ''Kerry never met a war he didn't want to lose'' — most of the students, veterans and others gathered paid them little attention."
Big words from a man whose propaganda was broadcast in the Hanoi Hilton while our POWs were being tortured.
Big words from a man who faked his injuries to earn 3 purple hearts (and backed up by the testimony of Vietnam veterans who served directly on the same boat, and medics who "treated" his scratches).
Big words from a man who was denounced as a liar from 271 other veterans and POWs, including Medal of Honor recipient Col "Bud" Day.
At least Jessica earned her money legitimately and didn't keep marrying into it....gigolo boy....
Thanks for the ping.
Kerry should just shut up.
The Swift Vets did the most to puncture his lead in 04. With Kerry now out shoring up the military angle, I hope the Swift Vets or like groups have the power to deflate him this time.
Kerry is just pure poison.
...or John Kerry attacking George Bush's honesty.
One of many differences between Ms. Simpson and Mr. Kerry is: she never claims to be an intellect, and I don't believe she's ever been publicly declared a hypocrite.
Bringing Jessica Simpson into the conversation does her a disservice, Einstein a disservices, and cements the idea that Mr. Kerry indeed has no class-- regardless of how many times he tries to marry into it.
SIGN THE FORM!!!
Kerry defending wartime Democrats is like Clinton defending Monica Lewinsky's honor.
Kerry had no defense against the Swift Boat allegations,because they were true. Thats why he didnt go to television stations and defend himself. He has to be an idiot to even think of running again because he is still in the same situation.
This from the man who marched with Hanoi Jane Fonda, from the man who destroyed evidence of POW/MIA's when he and John McCain went on their Congressional tour of Viet Nam, You know the one where he got lucrative contracts for his cousin. Sign the frickin form John,if you HAVE THE BALLS.
John F'in Traitor received a less than honorable discharge after violating U.S. laws in that while still wearing the uniform of the United States Navy, he traveled to Paris and met with enemies of the United States (The North Vietnamese and the Viet Cong) and engaged in negotiations with them. His discharge was upgraded to "honorable" during the abysmal Carter Administration.
After his Magical Three Purple Scratches Three Month Tour of Vietnam, John F'in returned to the U.S. where he gave false testimony WHICH WAS NOT ACTUALLY UNDER OATH to the United States Senate and in other public forums, where he slandered the good names and reputations of his fellow servicemen, accusing them of war crimes, accusations that were NEVER PROVEN AT ANY TIME.
John F'in Traitor is a liar, the Swift Boat Vets were 100 percent accurate as to his conduct and character, and is truly "unfit to serve".
While I am no Jessica Simpson fan, at least her "dumbness" is an act. She also made her own fortune and didn't have to marry it.
And is it good for a politician to distance itself from a fan base?
Who is the dummy?
John Kerry once again slams American troops- Check it out-
"And there is no reason, Bob, that young American soldiers need to be going into homes of Iraqis in the dead of night, terrorizing kids and children, you know, women, breaking sort of the customs of the-of-the historical customs, religious customs."
Here is the transcript for "Face the Nation"-

You will find this statement at the bottom of page 4 and the top of page 5.
"One day as our swift boat was heading up a river, a mine exploded hard under our boat. After picking ourselves up, we discovered VC was MIA. Several minutes of frantic search followed after which we thought we'd lost him. We were relieved when another boat called asking if we were missing a dog. It turns out VC was catapulted from the deck of our boat and landed confused, but unhurt, on the deck of another boat in our patrol."
