Swift Boat Veterans For Truth Responds To Senator McCain
Thu Aug 05 2004 17:10:20 ET
"Swift Boat Veterans for Truth has more than 250 members, many of whom were wounded or highly decorated in Vietnam.
We purchased with our blood and service the right to be heard, to set the record straight about our unit, and to tell the truth about John Kerry's military service record.
We respect Senator McCain's right to express his opinion and we hope he extends to us the same respect and courtesy, particularly since we served with John Kerry, we knew him well and Senator McCain did not."
Rear Admiral Roy Hoffmann (ret.), Founder and Chairman of Swift Boat Veterans for Truth.
I am a 24/7 member and have searched the entire website. Nothing about this story.
If he said it live, then a transcript may be available tomorrow.
I heard it on Rush too. He read the statement once...then read it again so it would be clear.
It was indeed poserful. If McLame doesn't back off then he truly is insane.
I heard it on Rush this morning too. He read the statement once...then read it again so it would be clear.
RINOs piss me off!
I noticed the author used the leftist smear technique "described ...." but not naming the person who described the Admiral. Probably John effn sKerry himself.
I could describe John Fonda Kerry as a gay pediphile and let someone quote it but that wouldn't make it true. Leftist technique.
I heard it, too, and you remembered it perfectly!
The last line was great, something like:
"We served with John Kerry and you did not!"
Really socks it to McCain. LOL!
Don't think Rush updates the website until later today.
In other words, STFU Sen. McCain, you don't know what you are talking about.
OK. Much appreciated. Thanks.
I can see Republicans and the White House staying out of the fray, so they don't appear to be part of this, but………Don't give a damn quote that will be used in every major news media outlet that is writing about the story.
McCain needs to shut-up.
This isn't the way this is supposed to work.
First, you post the article, then you comment upon what you posted.
Why don't you ask the moderator to remove this and re-post the article in its entirety.
Her role in the movie "Barbarella" fuelled many a teenage boy's fantasies. :=)
A lot of the moonbats mean to say "served under". Because all these guys served with Kerry... just in lateral or hgher positions.
I heard this on Rush! Looks like McCain has gone back to his normal self. I loved the part where they said they knew Kerry in Vietnam and McCain didn't!
Knew giving McCain any credit was a waste when I did it!
Hoffmann said none of the 13 veterans in the commercial served on Kerry's boat but rather were in other swiftboats within 50 yards of Kerry's. The group claims that there was no gunfire on the day Kerry pulled Rassmann from a muddy river in the Mekong Delta and that Kerry's arm was not wounded, as he has claimed.
He probably didn't know that all he had to do was give her 2 bucks.
McCain is a former POW (however clouded his actions concerning that time may be), and he is a US Senator. He packs a lot of weight with some voters. And he is trying with all his might to discredit the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth. God only knows how he can justify that.
Thanks for the advice. Why don't you ask them to remove it if it offends you so much? I've posted a few hundred articles before so I know how it's done, it was verbally reported news, that counts too.
We'll get a transcript sooner or later...
