An easy litmus test is to remember who spoke up for the Swift Boat guys, and who didn’t.

John Kerry’s service record includes the years 1970 and 1971 in which he performed service for Jane Fonda and her allies of far greater importance than his few months of service against the VC and NVA. I am glad to see a book countering his uncorroborated testimony before Congress about how I and other members of TF116 committed unspeakable atrocities against the South Vietnamese. His testimony ensured marginalizing accounts of such facts that our boats and ships were ordered not to return fire from the village of Nam Can as they transited to and from Seafloat. We were expected to gut it out through the kill zone, because the village was designated by us as a sanctuary from the war for civilians.

I saw T. Boone Pickens on TV a month or so ago reiterating that he has $1 million for John Kerry if he releases his records and proves that what the Swift Boat Vets said wasn’t true. Funny that Kerry hasn’t taken him up on it.

John Kerry is the most despicable person in American history. At least Benedict Arnold served over two months service to this country. Kerry, show us your Dishonorable Discharge!!

Contrary to Kerry's spin, the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth had no contact or advice from a White House that publicly expressed a desire the anti-Kerry campaign being waged by the Vietnam vets would stop.

One of the most gloomy aspects of getting the truth out (i.e., that "swift boating" means getting the truth out) is when the host of the top-rated all-night talk show, George Noory, promotes the Kerry lies. It's likely that most in the millions who tune in are apolitical and "know" little beyond Noory and MSM employees' voluble and tedious feeeeeeeeeeeeeelings.

The author of the posted article, Dr. Corsi, is a regular guest on Noory's show. Dr. Corsi told Noory that he voted for G.W. twice but now has a bit of remorse.

Noory absolutely despises the President and associates and quickly responded to Dr. Corsi's remarks with predicable I-hate-Bush Noory knee-jerk, "Yeah, it was those swift boat lies, right?"

Dr. Corsi told Mr. Noory in no uncertain terms that NO! "the Swift Boat vets called Kerry on his decades of lies" which he (Dr. Corsi) recognized as lies at the time Kerry was spewing them.

It went completely over Noory's head. He has not a clue. It's that BDS thing I guess.

Hi, ho, Bob.....I've had my copy of "Setting the Record Straight" for well over a week, but what with the election having me krazyglued to FR and neglecting all hausfrau duties for about a fortnight, it's been sitting forlornly on the nightstand.

(....what's a fortnight?.....hmmmmm)

Hope to do my IRS this weekend and start the book Monday.

I guarandamntee ya!

Good sales and 23 (out of 23) five star ratings at Amazon.com (the 24th rating was 4 out of 5 - not sure why a point was knocked off, but the reviewer complains (?? I’m guessing a little that here’s his complaint) that the main point was made early in the book).

"Setting the Record Straight" from our own Scott Swett and Tim Zielger, long time FReepers and ex Board of Director members of the Free Republic Network.
To Set the Record Straight is an excellent book.

Chapter 13: Rather's Ruin and the Rise of the Pajamahadeen is an FR thread which the authors had posted.

The whole book is a pretty fast read.
