I thought the book was about defending Kerry 3 years after the fact.

If Kerry had a defense you'd think we would have seen it by now.

If someone can prove Kerry DIDN'T testify to Congress that American soldiers were mass murderering sadists, and DIDN'T meet with the N Viets in Paris when they were there to negotiate with the USA and Kerry opposed the US and supported a communist victory ....

I'll give them a million dollars. The Swift Boats could not possibly have been wrong that Kerry is a lying disloyal anti military skunk.

Same guy who stopped by to FReep on the day of the rally in DC?

I'm not sure. The reference is to Steve Pitkin, the former VVAW member who came forward in 2004 to say that John Kerry pressured him to tell lies about war crimes at the group's 1971 Winter Soldier hearings.

That headline is mis-leading. I thought I was going to read a slam on the Swift Boaters. Or maybe I have had too many Christmas cookies this morning.

The MSM still believe, as do the dims, that if you tell a lie often enough, it will become the truth. The swiftboaters have proven this a wrong assumption.

No, lies still work.

They've created a new word "swiftboating" which is understood to mean "lying" about someone's record. Ironically, they've creating the new word by lying about what the Swiftboaters did. Demonstrating that the old adage about telling a lie often enough still works to counter the truth.

The Swiftboaters "won" by defeating John Kerry by telling the truth about him. But in the end they have been defined by the majority who are outside of the new media as the people who defeated Kerry by telling lies.

People around here know the truth. But the fact that people in the MSM can use the term "swiftboating" and be understood to be talking about liars demonstrates that there is more work to be done, and the patriots who wrote this book are doing it. Good for them.

Not possible.

Yep, that's him! Watched his testimony on CSpan at the rally & it was very powerful, as was the testimony by all of the speakers that day.

Previously unpublished information on the "war crimes" propaganda effort that Kerry led during the Vietnam War, including material showing how the antiwar movement worked with the North Vietnamese and the Viet Cong.

If this is true, then US Navy Reserve Lt. Kerry would have committed Treason, and those covering for him (or refusing to prosecute him) would be accomplices. They will never prosecute him, because they would set the ball rolling for themselves to be prosecuted. This ball would continue rolling and expose current day Treason which would involve the Globalist conspirators and supporters of the Cross Border Invasion.

Amen to that, Lapster!

Karl Rove is highly overrated.

The Swifties and their supporters made a huge difference in the month between the Dem and Repub. conventions in the summer of 2004.

It was sickening to hear the President and his campaign disparage these brave veterans.

It may yet be seen that this was the final battle of Vietnam—setting the record straight.

Steve's story is in the book, including the account of how he almost didn't get onto the stage that day...

I thought the same thing, at first, then I looked at the source (NewsMax).

Kerry was a big phonie, still is. Those pictures of him hunting and wind surfing made me laugh, also his pansie-ass football throwing...L.O.L.!

Thanks for that link. We gave money to the Swift Vets, not the RNC. We are happy to have helped keep John EffinTraitor Kerry out of the White House
