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.

"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."
This doesn't get him off the hook. His lies cost American soldiers lives.

Howie Carr of the Boston Herald has a collection of stories about first-person encounters people have had with Kerry around Massachusetts and Washington that demonstrate what a horses hind he is.

No kidding. You gotta wonder, wow, this is really really bugging him so bad. You would think that he would have got over himself already not winning the presidency. I used to think of Al Gore as most like the character Smeagol in LOTR, but now, maybe this asswipe has him beat on that

This should be like shooting Fish/Kerry in a barrel. All T. Boone has to do is to agree to send the charity the million (a great idea in any event) the moment that he gets K F’n Kerry’s signed 180. Johnny doesn’t even have to prove anything and the Vets benefit.

He will show you almost everything...except the actual discharge paperwork. He can’t do that...because then you will notice that this was a non-typical discharge...which leads to you asking some really stupid questions.

Kerry cant use his war hero trump card as he has done his entire political career. There is talk of drafting Curt Schilling to run against him.
Thanks for the info. I just assumed that he was safe forever - I find it hard to understand how a state that perpetually sends Ted Kennedy to the Senate, would suddenly get squeamish about Kerry.

Even whores have standards. The SBVFT exposed Kerry for what he is, i.e., a poseur and a fraud.

"While fellow veterans and reporters disproved many of the group's claims at the time, Kerry refused to air ads responding to the criticism."That is a crock. I know of none of the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth's claims that any of sKerry's bought-and-paid-for "Band of Brothers" (all three of them) or the liberals in the media ever disproved.

Where is Kerrys Form 180 releasing his military records? Kerry actually voted for his DOD-180 before he voted against it.

I gave them $100 in 2004. So did I. The Swifites performed a great service for our country once again. It was marvelous to behold. They proved to conclusively that Kerry was (and still is) a lying fraud.

I know. I supported the SBVT with two $100 donations during the 2004 campaign. I also have John O’Neill’s book, “Unfit for Command: Swift Boat Veterans Speak Out Against John Kerry “.
