Statement by John O'Neill on "Nightline" Appearance Author: Dated: Friday, October 15 2004 @ 08:00 AM PDT Viewed: 1485 times While I have a tremendous amount of respect for Ted Koppel and ABC News I was appalled to learn that ABC News would go to the lengths of traveling to Vietnam to interview three Viet Cong communists in yet a third attempt by ABC to corroborate John Kerry’s version of the events that took place on February 28th, 1969. I would only ask the American people: "Who do you trust more, three members of a communist regime that tortured and killed our American troops or a group of more than 280 highly decorated American veterans, who proudly served their country and are now responsible members of their respective communities?"
The number of veterans who support John Kerry’s accounts of his military service would not fill one Swift Boat. But instead of sitting down to interview some of the 280 plus members of our Swift Boat organization, ABC News chose to travel to Vietnam taking extraordinary and highly suspect steps to find someone to corroborate John Kerry's story.
ABC News Nightline has now dedicated three separate programs to this one incident while ignoring John Kerry's now discredited Senate testimony that he spent Christmas in Cambodia, his receiving a purple heart after all three of the officers required to approve such an issuance rejected his application, or his constantly changing account of the circumstances surrounding his remaining medal, a bronze star.
Further, one has to wonder why ABC News will not address the serious questions as to why John Kerry only received an honorable discharge through the act of then President Carter, seven years after his discharge, and had to have all of his military citations reissued, on the same day, when he became a United States Senator in 1985. And, finally, why has Nightline found it of no interest to permit any POWs to come on their program to explain why they believe John Kerry betrayed their nation, caused them to be incarcerated for an additional two years and caused them tremendous additional hardship and suffering.

You are so right. I've seen people just badger him during questioning, and he's just unflappable, sticking to the story. I guess it's easy because he's telling the truth.

OMFG I was so pissed off when I saw that last night. I turned it off as soon as that commie started talking about how they shot her husband or her or whatever. What Nightline did is the equivalent of going over to North Korea and interviewing people about Kim Jong-Il. OF COURSE they're going to lie, if they said anything decent about the USA they'd be shipped off to the nearest gulag (or in Vietnam's case, reeducation center)

Absolutely awesome statement. ABC can run, but they can't hide. They're intent on fixing the election for Kerry. Period. Clearly, they'll do anything to accomplish this. Lie, cheat, steal, the ends justify the means. Sick.

My husband, a Viet vet, said that if the unspeakable happened and Kerry gets elected, we ought to keep contributing and have the Swift Boat Vets keep running their ads even after he takes office. Run the "Stolen Honor" movie every week. Send it overseas and show it like Farenheit 9/11.

God bless John O'Neill and the Swiftees. LSM bias is out of control!

What a stupid statement. Perhaps you should adjust it to say:
Ollie North has no credibility whatsoever with the communist loving segment of the population.
How sweet you are, adding to the discourse in such a nice way. I stand by my statement. A whole lot of people have no regard for Ollie North -- and a whole lot of them are conservatives.
To: Txsleuth
Is it the part of the public that will vote for Kerry? I am not being sarcastic - I don't know.
All I know is I watch his War Stories show everyweek and I love his reports from Iraq. My husband is a Viet vet and I have 2 granddaugters so I am really desperate. Maybe you have some suggestions we could try? Thanks!
I'm just saying that the mainstream media and "moderates" aren't going to care a whit about what Oliver North has to say so if someone wants a high profile person to make the case, I think he would be a lost cause.

I'm sure many people bought the Democratic spin about Ollie. Just as they did about Justice Thomas.

Election tampering, Like to see ole Ted be tried. Intentionally misleading the electorate from a position of trust. Like when a school teacher abuses a child, penalty is added to original crime. You know, he had intent.
.
Just like Dan Rather was/is fed/influenced by his daughter Robin in "Blathergate", it is my opinion that Ted Koppel is fed/influenced by his daughter who covers the State Department for CNN! Click here for information on Ted Koppel's daughter.
