I got to spend a long, cold evening outside Walter Reed with those Swift Boat Vets back before the 2004 election...boy, did they dislike Kerry. Talked about him coming into the reunions, wearing his bomber jacket, being the center of attention.

They did not respect or appreciate him at all. I have a lot of respect, those guys could have just sat at home and not said anything, and at least one paid the price for speaking out, losing his job.

I appreciate what they did.

Back when I was a GWB supporting neocon stooge, I did a guerrilla political protest at Union Station in Cincinnati against Kerry. I leveraged my Teamsters union card to get within 30’ of Kerry. Mid speech, I began heckling Kerry about his military service. I was manhandled by three sheet metal worker members before the cops saved me. I made a decent splash locally in the news and got his despicable Vietnam record into the articles. I have the same name as one of the Swift Boat guys. The Kerry campaign released a statement condemning me and identifying me as the Swift Boat member. Great fun!

Absolute best monetary political contribution I ever made was to the SBVfT.
