Any signs that Kerry is actually attmepting to collect the $1 Million from T Boone Pickens?
Last I heard he sent Pickens a letter saying the Swift Boat Verterans were liars, now send me the Million.
Any updates?

Wasnt there something about Kerry and a million bucks to disprove the SBs???? Has he paid up yet? T Boone Pickens put up $1 Million to anyone who could prove a single claim by the Swift Boaters to be false.
Kerry accepted the challenge.
He sent Pickens a letter to tell him where to send the million.
Small problem though, Kerry didn't prove the Swift Vet liars, show a single thing they were in error on, nothing. He literally just sent a letter telling Pickens to pay up.

There was one more wrinkle; Pickens set some requirements for Kerry to win his money. One was releasing his personal Vietnam diary.
Nothing back from Kerry yet on that...
To: Phantom Lord
Was wondering what became of all that ... the MSM hasn’t picked it up or will it???

Its kind of a moot point 3 years after the fact. On the contrary.
The chapter that I read clearly demonstrates the extent at which the MSM will go to support the Democrat candidates. A recent example is the practice of question planting by CNN in both democrat and republican debates (supportive and demeaning questions, respectively).
Remain vigilant.
The Swift Boat Veterans are pioneers in vigilance and their example is applicable to the present.

The Swift Boaters DID set the record straight...this is just cashing in... Considering the majority of the press continues the lie that the Swift Boaters claims had all been refuted, the record is not yet straight.

Exactly, Kerry's horrendous behavior, close to treason, is well documented. I think his military record was also inflated, and he got some perks such as a short tour and cushy Pentagon assignment. But I think it's a shame that his left wing fanaticism has been somewhat obscured by the focus on his purple hearts.
The Purple Hearts can be debated, his absolute false betrayal of his fellow servicemen cannot be denied.

Title of the article made me think that it was an a book that was trying to prove the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth were wrong. Bad title for article.
Glad to see I was wrong.

Hooray for us!
Now, if that lying, back stabbing, seditious, traitorous ...
Now, if only Hanoi John could be brought to public trial.

Still fighting the Vietnam War.
Yep, and it hadn't been re-fought Hanoi John could well be the President today.

Kerrys coziness with North Vietnam sure seems like treason to me.... Maybe not treason, but enough to get a reserve officer booted out with a Dishonorable Discharge. But I guess we’ll never know.....in our lifetimes.

LOL!

Not only that, but I have a feeling that they got wind of Kerry’s attempt to continue discrediting them as well. It’s a good thing because Kerry brought everything back up...if they don’t answer back, the Drive-bys will give the last word to Kerry-—without any scrutiny of course
To: Interesting Times
Yay! This is another excellent review.

Your T’shirt image is what the definition should be. Unfortunatly, as long as people in the MSM can use the term “Swiftboating” in a derogatory way, then there is more work to be done. I might have to buy this book.
To: Just A Nobody
I thought of Mr. Tonkin as soon as I saw this article.
Thanks for the ping.

To: Interesting Times
If the leftist "swiftboating" meme isn't challenged, they'll gradually work it into the language, a la "McCarthyism." That would be OK, as long as it comes to mean, "Exposing the Distortions, Fabrications, and outright Lies of Politicians". Or "Outing the Traitors".
