XXXXX DRUDGE REPORT XXXXX TUE AUG 24, 2004 11:09:31 ET XXXXX
KERRY PHONES SWIFT BOAT FOES
**Exclsuive**
Dem presidential hopeful John Kerry personally phoned anti-Kerry swift boat vets, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.
Kerry reached out to Robert "Friar Tuck" Brant Cdr., USN (RET) Sunday night, just hours after former Sen. Bob Dole publicly challenged Kerry to apologize to veterans.
Brant was skipper of the #96 and # 36 boat and spent time with Kerry in Anm Thoi. Kerry and Brant slept in the same quarters, and Brant used to put Kerry back to be at night when Kerry was sleepwalking.
Brant received a call from Kerry at his home in Virginia while he was watching the Olympics on TV.
The call lasted 10 minutes, sources tell DRUDGE.
KERRY: "Why are all these swift boat guys opposed to me?"
BRANT: "You should know what you said when you came back, the impact it had on the young sailors and how it was disrespectful of our guys that were killed over there.
[Brant had two men killed in battle.]
KERRY: "When we dedicated swift boat one in '92, I said to all the swift guys that I wasn't talking about the swifties, I was talking about all the rest of the veterans."
Kerry then asked if he could meet Brant -- man to man -- face to face.
Brant declined the invite, explaining that Kerry was obviously not prepared to correct the record on exactly what happened during Vietnam and what happened when Kerry came back.
Developing...
Yo, putz!
Cheese off, already - I'm watchin' swimmin' !
Great graphic!!!!
How can Kerry possibly be that arrogant and disconnected from life to have to ask this question?
There is something definitely wrong with this man.
I wouldn't take that bet, I'd lose.
Kerry wasn't impugning their honor, it was all the other Vietnam veterans such as my father huh?
Go to hell Senator.
Unbelievable. It's no wonder why the Swifties saw this buffoon as "unfit for command".
Drudge's title is that Kerry "reached out" in this phone call. To do what? Insult some veterans again?
Ummmmmmmm..........This is John Kerry Heinz
I just got permission from my wife ......how much will it cost to pay all of you off that these ads are discontinued?
Men with charactor versus wone with none.
John Kerry, a man of his most recent word.
Blessings, Bobo
If Kerry is gonna aplogize he needs to get Mary Beth Cahill under control...
Here's what a Kedwards email blast said yesterday...
Sounds like the only lies are being told by Cahill and Kerry and co.
Dear Adam,
On Saturday afternoon, we released a new Internet ad about the lies being spread by the so-called "Swift Boat Veterans for Truth." We asked you to call on George Bush to stop using campaign shills to smear the record of John Kerry and other Vietnam veterans. Your response was amazing -- more than 150,000 of you signed our petition. Incredible!
If you haven't seen the ad yet, you can view it by visiting:

You sent a powerful message to the media, the Bush campaign, and the public: The American people are tired of the lies being told about John Kerry's service in Vietnam. On behalf of John Kerry, I want to say thank you. I also want to ask you to forward this petition to your friends, family, and co-workers. There's still time to sign the petition -- just click here:

You've already sent a strong message -- now help us reach 300,000 signatures by forwarding this email now.
Thank you,
Mary Beth Cahill
Campaign Manager
P.S.
Click here to read the article by William Rood from the Chicago Tribune, telling his first-hand account of John Kerry's heroism in Vietnam.
Yea .. But he then still blames the other 2.2 Million Vietnam Vets of war crimes
Kerry is TOAST
How can he exclude only his buddies from the vicious charges he levelled. It is like a white racist telling his black employee that that employee is different and not like other blacks, and that he only hates all other blacks.
Also, Kerry admitted to doing atrocities himself, so he did include swift boats.
Sleepwalking explains his career in the Senate...
Or as the Establishment Media would say: "Brant was in Vietnam at approximately the same time as Kerry, but never served on Kerry's boat."
CD
Interesting.. So maybe Kerry really did spend Xmas in Cambodia.. He waffled there in his sleep.
I have a feeling Kerry is going to hear that comment a lot in the future
Gee fellas, I meant everybody BUT the swifties raped and tortured. Honest, not you guys....
What poser
I'd say those calls Sunday night didn't go the way Kerry wanted them to.
Kerry must not be used to dealing with men of honor.
