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.

Rush just read the statement. It will be posted later today. Everybody needs to stop hyperventilating.

The statement was very terse and to the point.

Rush was on fire pointing out the double standard of the media in this regard.

McCain's a Senator, Kerry's a Senator. It's the ultimate club. Always looking to protect one another and by extension, himself. He's claiming this sort of smear was done to him during the NC primary. aaaarrgghhh! McCain just can't let that go.

From sfgate.com : "'The president thought he got rid of this unregulated soft money when he signed the bipartisan campaign finance reform into law,' McClellan said. A chief sponsor of that bill, which Bush initially opposed, was McCain. In 2000, Bush's supporters sponsored a rumor campaign against McCain in the South Carolina primary, helping Bush win the primary and the nomination. McCain's supporters have never forgiven the Bush team."

Well I have never forgiven McCain for CFR. I can just barely forgive George Bush for it, all the good things he's done in the balance. In a couple of months, if I understand correctly, airing the swift vets commercial will be illegal.

Their site is
http://swiftvets.com

Too bad they didn't also buy http://www.swiftboatvets.com and divert the traffic because of the stunt you mentioned.

Oops; I think their site is:

http://WWW.swiftvets.com

I left out the www; since their site is so overhit right now, I'll leave it to the masses to try either or both rather than waiting to test them.

Why don't you ask them to remove it if it offends you so much?

Rob. Don't be such a sorehead!

There's nothing offensive about it, but it's not even a complete sentence!

thanks, I was just surprised the opponents of the vets had set up a "spoofing" adress to an anti-military page so quick.

McCain did the Swift Boat Vets a huge favor. Now that McCain has spoken out, the lamestream media have to discuss this story.

You got it . McLame being 1 of the big media darlings it can be tied in very nicely giving support where it would not have . Good call !

You've got that darn right. What I can't figure is how McCainiac can side with kerry on this, against all those veterans. Somewhere in his hollow life, McLame has to know they have NO reason to lie about all of this.

mccain is protecting his OWN record. If you can attack Bush's record, then attack Kerry's record, THEN you can attack McCain's own personal record and conduct during his service.

Look at how the media attacks anyone who attacks Max Clealand and how he actually became a tripple amputee.

Ironic that those who called the military and do call the military baby killers are the ones now demanding respect for Kerry's disrespect for the military.

Actually the white font method wouldn't be very secure
as it can be read by simply highlighting and doing a copy/paste.

It's a headline. I certainly didn't think it would be difficult to find a link pretty fast, and esp. with a bunch of Freepers helping to find it. Still no luck 2+ hours later, these swiftboatvets need a fax machine.

Some of the SBV are on H&C right now.

I'm not a sorehead, you're the guy who wants to give me posting lessons.
