Thanks for posting this article. This lie must not go unchallenged.

One of these days I'll have to get around to asking you about your rating system! :)

Good Swift Boat article ping.

Great piece by Hyman. If Kerry was honest and had an ounce of honor left in him he’d turn over all records, him not doing so speaks volumns.

Thanks for the ping, Smooth.

What a PERFECT refutation of the idiotic article in the New York Times which claimed Swift Boaters were tired of the term “swiftboating”. I’m sure they are tired of the way dim Dems and the drive-by media have misused and abused the term. I am too-—and this article, if the dummies can read, should put the issue to bed.

Kerry wants to be Obama’s Sec. of State.

Actually "+1" is my shortcut to typing "bump", "mark", or "bttt" when I want to save a story. Saves me time and keystrokes.

Hi Y'all, found this site is being clobbered by Google:

Went there anyway (I have hip-boots!) but didn't find anything wrong except Google also blocked out the scroll window on the right side partway down. Hopefully AS will get it straightened out.

It just really pisses me off that SOB Kerry is in the Senate instead of Leavenworth; he is a traitor. Good article, thanks.

Thanks. This is excellent work by Mark Hyman, showing clearly how the NYT continues to lie on behalf of Kerry.

Mark Hyman exposes the NY Times’ latest effort to pretend that Kerry had the best of it against the Swift Vets.

Thanks for the ping. For me, Kerry’s biggest Achilles heel, and there are many, has been the circumstances surrounding his first PH. He was able to paper over his other “exploits,” but he has never provided the official documentation of how he got that first PH, which was awarded 3 months after the event and after he transfered to another command. I am glad the author of the article focussed on that event.

[Interesting Times]

I agree that the 1st PH was one of the most effective Swift Vet charges against Kerry. The other two are probably "Christmas in Cambodia," and the No Man Left Behind story. I'd rank the latter at the top, since the Swift Vets were able to debunk the "war hero" tale most prominently featured in Kerry's campaign.

The Slimes is not only covering up Kerry's lie, but there own.

I subscribe to the Slimes (enemy intelligence). I followed the Swiftees efforts closely and read their book, well footnoted. I didn't see a single MSM report that refuted anything in the book, but some that supported the book's accounts, such as an excellent piece about the firefight when Kerry took a powder while other boats slugged it out with the bad guys.

Then one day I picked up the Slimes, amazed to see they simply proclaimed the Swiftees story "discredited." I searched the article in vain for any specific assertion to back the Slimes' claim, but there weren't any. They simply announced it. And from that time on the MSM followed in lockstep. I've never seen any specific fact reported by the Swiftees refuted in the MSM. Pickens' money is safe.

The question is why the NYTimes and Kerry are reviving these lies. I think the answer is that they want to use the canard about swiftboating whenever anyone says anything critical about Obama.

As for kerry, he has no political future outside of Taxachusetts.

Bump!
