John O'Neill won the coin toss to make an opening statement.

He lists the problems vets faced returning from their tours. The biggest problem by far? The lies spread by the likes of John Kerry tarring them as war criminals.

Boos mixed with applause from the audience.

I know I won't be able to take the whole thing.

Dick Cavett holds up Calgon (how well I remember those commercials).

Ack. Kerry up. Hard to find a place to start after a "barrage like that", he says.

So he's never liked a dissenting opinion from his own. Speaking calmly to show he's the rational one. He disses O'Neill by saying it's hard to believe he served (by Kerry's lights evidently if you served you'd automatically side with him). Uses an example of having a drunk mother, but I missed what that was supposed to represent. The U.S.?
