New Book Explodes Swift Boat Myths

The WND headline is an unfortuant choice of word.

“Review of Swift Boat Activism Reinforces Findings” would be more descriptive of their article.

[SkyDancer]

Wasn’t there something about Kerry and a million bucks to disprove the SB’s???? Has he paid up yet? And what about that 180 thing ...???

[Interesting Times]

Makes me proud to have been a part of “setting the record straight”...

Now we need to set the record straight about 2004.

...I’ve yet to see kerry attempt to collect the million dollars from Boone Pickens....

Kerry got real quiet after Pickens asked for his missing records and his Vietnam journal, didn't he?

To The Citizens Of Free Republic:

We will never ever forget your support and help. Your threads not only encouraged us but kept the truth alive in a period when Big Media sought to suppress the story. Your e-mails and phone calls to Big Media at least shamed them. The thousands of contributions we got from you helped us to organize our website, produce our earliest ads, and keep the light flickering in the darkest of times. The English at Agincourt would have executed Kerry for meeting with the enemy and betraying them. In contrast, we found a true band of brothers who stood with us and supported us. Thank you. We will never forget it.

My copy just arrived.

I know several members of SBVT - my late Dad was a Swiftie in II Corps '67-68. That all 230-some members were honorable men doing the honorable thing in opposing Kerry cannot be overstated.

Good for them. I'll buy the book.

I guess I should have read the whole article.
I thought the book was about defending Kerry 3 years after the fact.

[Badeye]

I’m just glad democrats are stupid enough to keep reminding voters about the Swift Boaters and John Kerry’s unability to respond to what they said.

see #25

This book will explain why no one has stepped forward to accept the challenge made by oilman T. Boone Pickens on November 6 when he offered $1 million to anyone that could disprove even one charge made against Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) by the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth.

Is there a statute of limitations on treason?

Kerry’s coziness with North Vietnam sure seems like treason to me.

[CharlesWayneCT]

It’s unfortunate that the title they chose for the book is identical to the title of a book about the Watergate Break-in.

To set the record straight : the break-in, the tapes, the conspirators, the pardon / John J. Sirica.

[GoLightly]

The powerful story of a former member of the Vietnam Veterans Against the War who testified that Kerry personally pressured him to tell lies about military atrocities and war crimes at the group's 1971 "Winter Soldier" conference.

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

“Makes me proud to have been a part of “setting the record straight”......I’ve yet to see kerry attempt to collect the million dollars from Boone Pickens....”

Yes indeedy. There has been sparse to no traffic coming out of the J F’n K ofice as of late.

Gee.

I wonder why........

[StarCMC]

Still fighting the Vietnam War.

...the enemedia that lost it for us. Hopefully the end result will be that they don't lose our current conflict for us. They're giving it a go though.
