John O'Neill's statement regarding Nightline

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.

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

---- The issues surrounding each are not comparable in the least. Ollie North broke the law. He did something he believed in and his testimony before Congress were impressive but, nonetheless, he broke the law. Justice Thomas did nothing wrong; he was maliciously maligned as a political toy.

What law specifically did Ollie break??

I think the allegations against Ollie as a law-breaker are bunk!! B.S. Made Up. DemocRAT spin.

IMHO

Say it again - BE SURE TO VOTE NOVEMBER 2.

You forgot to add the important part - BE SURE TO TELL YOUR LIBERAL/DEMOCRAT FRIENDS THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO VOTE NOVEMBER 3rd (so they polls won't be so crowded on the 2nd)

And the half hadn't beem told, my FRiend.

After seeing how kerry and his gang operate, I believe that he would make hillary, as bad as she would be, seem like a Sunday School teacher by comparison.

kerry's gang have done things that clinton could only dream about in this campaign.

If kerry is elected, and he has at least a 50-50 chance, he will make the Arkinsaw flu seem to be a headache as far as his enemies are concerned.

The above is my and my opinion only. You are free to agree or disagree.

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.

The Internet is another Victory for all RVN vets....no longer will the MSM dictate the news that the American people absorb and cause the untold numbers of American fighting men to die because of lies. You can see it in the support for the President from the folks in Iraq...viva la Bush..

They tried to accuse him of breaking the law. But alas they failed.

Ollie North has no credibility whatsoever with the communist loving segment of the population.

That is a huge segment of the population.

The Communist, worm their way slowly and unconspiciously into the educational systems of a country until they control it-they do the same with ths MSM, and the legislature, theJudiciary, the Main stream religions, and by the time the truth is known, the truth is stiffeled and dies for lack of an outlet, or else condemned, vilified, asour grapes or drowned out by the jeering voices from a million communist controlled media outlets.

Am I calling Kerry and his pro-aggressive demonRATS Communist? Not exactly, but everything they believe and every tactic they use, can be traced right back to the teachings and actions of Lenin, Marks and Stalin. Actually the smug and arrogant Senator Kerry has schemes of his own that would turn all those failures at enslaving the world, green with envy.

He can do it better, he has a better plan, he is infallable. If you don't believe it, jusk ask Mr. Wonderful.

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

Yeah. I called up a friend at work about this segment on Rush. He had to step away and didn't hear it. I told him Nightline flew all the way to Viet Nam to interview a bunch of communists about Kerry's "heroism". I added it was probably because Kerry is in their war hero museum in Hanoi.

What a kick:):)

I'll say it. Pardon my French. Kerry's a miserable piece of snake s**t. His defenders/promoters are as bad or worse, for they're promoting a slimebag due to one thing and one thing only:

Agenda.

Lines are clearly drawn, boys and girls.
