I just saw Shep Smith on Fox, talking about the Swift Vets, and saying "hardly any of these guys actually served with Kerry, I mean they were in the same war..." He also has "experts" on the pro-Kerry side and no one on the other side...what's going on with Fox on this issue???
Read on here earlier today that Fox's Chief Operating Officer, who is closer to the news desk than Rupert Murdoch, is a big Kerry supporter.
I just wrote him at studiob@foxnews.com
I told him to look at the ad. Several of the men in the ad ARE THE VERY SAME MEN in the photo that Kerry shows when bragging that his band of brothers support him.
Smith claimed that the men claimed to have served with Kerry, but that only meant that they all served in the VN war. All one has to do is look at the ad, which shows these men right next to a close-up of their picture in that group shot with Kerry.
He said the swift boat men were LIARS that it was lies. That maybe they served in the same war but not on the same boat. I got so mad I hit Shep with my shoe from 20 yards away.
Not surprising from someone who ran over another reporter with his car. All of the Fox News reporters are showing their true liberal stripes now that the election is getting closer. Send an email to Roger Ailes and ask him what is going on with his on-air staff.

She sounded like a broken record, "You weren't on the same boat as Kerry."
"You weren't on the same boat."
"You weren't on the same boat."
I used that email it came back as undeliverable
Calm down. I'm surprised that idiot Smith is still on the air; haven't seen him in months because I made a point to avoid his stupid shows.
He's a moronic, hyperactive tabloid twit with an attitude. Who needs it?
I saw Shep too. He was totally on the Kerry-McCain side of this. Very disappointing. He let that fat leftist blowhard spokesman get away with saying that Elliot had retracted his support of the ad. No mention of that the Boston Globe story was boguis and written by the same guy who wrote the Kerry-Edwards campaign book. I sent him an email but doubt it will do any good.
Saw it. Shep was really kissing up to Dem Hack and frequent john Bob Beckel. Maybe he was trying to get a lead on hookers.
Shep Smith and BILL O are absolute slimy hacks. The Swift Vets did serve with Kerry-- 3 of the guys in the ad were there on the day he "rescued" Rassman. The Swit Vets for Truth sh*t bigger than that little twerp Smith.
Word parsing. They were in the same outfit, on the same river, on the same missions at the same time, but since they weren't in the same BOAT, they have no basis to criticize. Even if someone on the same boat were found to criticize Kerry, they would say something like, "Well, you weren't in command so you can't say that!"
Since the #2 "business" guy at fox became a stoolie for kerry fox has gone into kerry overdrive.
Fox better get back to its roots or they will be on the basic lineup of cable. Fox was put on the premium lineup because people were willing to pay.
Why pay for "prettyboys" to spout DNC lines.
I still like foxnews over the others, for now. Fox should take note, FR beats them on raw journalistic comeptence.
(we should shun oreily)
That's true. They were not on the same boat (and they don't claim to have been), but they were on buddy boats and served with Kerry on missions. He needs to be corrected. Will you all do the honors please?
Right his show is for people with ADD. Who cares what this ahole thinks.
Susan's smarmy, oily grins REALLY ticked me off last night. I wanted to UN-DO all that fancy plastic surgery.

Shep and I have a personal game we play. "How fast can I turn the TV off after Brit Hume's show." Can I turn it off before "Scott Peterson" comes out of Shep's mouth? Not yet! But I'm gettin faster!
