BOSTON - Sen. John Kerry, whose 2004 presidential campaign was torpedoed by critics of his Vietnam War record, said Friday he has personally accepted a Texas oilman's offer to pay $1 million to anyone who can disprove even a single charge of the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth.
In a letter to T. Boone Pickens, the Massachusetts Democrat wrote: "While I am prepared to show they lied on allegation after allegation, you have generously offered to pay one million dollars for just one thing that can be proven false. I am prepared to prove the lie beyond any reasonable doubt."
Kerry, a Navy veteran and former prosecutor, said he was willing to present his case directly to Pickens, who provided $3 million to bankroll the group during Kerry's race against President Bush.

I gave them $100 in 2004. Thanks Jim O”neill, you were the highlight of the campaign driving Kerry supporters nuts. Dems like Clinton still whine about it. Hil should know!

I'm waiting for him to do it. I'm not holding my breath though.

Typical asshat. He’s doing a whole lotta talking and not a lotta proving. Isn’t this guy irrelevant enough already.

Good!
Maybe now we’ll find out why HE didn’t show up for Reserve duty for two years, 1971-72, and why his discharge was issued six years later, in 1978, when Carter became President and cleaned the records of a lot of Vietnam protestors and draft dodgers like Kerry.
(Yeah, that’s right - Kerry dodged the draft.)

“everybody does it” - Bill Clinton
John Fibber Kerry confessed to Tim Russert that his claims of witnessing and participating in “war crimes” were the exagerated remarks of an “angry young man”. His lies emboldened the enemy and earned him a place in the Communist Vietnamese’ museum as a “war hero” for North Vietnam.

"Not that I am aware........and I followed that story like my dog on a new bone." That's what I suspected. Another MSM bias reporter making things up.
