When the ABC movie Path To 9/11 was shown, I recorded it for later viewing. Finally saw it this week and it was a extremely good presentation. My thoughts - The actors and actresses they got to play different people for the most part was right on. The only real exception was the actor for Dick Cheney. Dick Cheney in this movie looked elderly and befuddled. He never comes across that way in interviews. The movie portrayed the Clinton administration as aware of what was happening but playing the political expediant card - very cynical. The Bush administration is shown...

John Kerry recently volunteered that he was prepared to “kick [the Swift Boat Veterans’] ass from one end of America to the other” and that he would “demolish” us. He ought to take a Christmas cruise to Cambodia to calm down. Maybe he could take a side trip to tour “Genghis Khan” ruins. It is a little difficult to imagine Kerry (“I voted for it before I voted against it”) kicking the most decorated living serviceman, Bud Day, a Congressional Medal of Honor recipient, or our salty commander, Adm. Roy Hoffman, anywhere. Perhaps Kerry had in mind using a “Rice...

Press Release Source: Vietnam Veterans Legacy Foundation Former Vietnam POWs Sue John Kerry Wednesday October 5, 1:00 pm ET PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Sen. John Kerry and a top DNC campaign official have been sued for conspiracy and defamation in Federal District Court in Philadelphia by the Vietnam Veterans Legacy Foundation (VVLF), which is led by a group of former Vietnam combat veterans, including several POWs, and the wife of a POW. The legal action comes just weeks after the group of highly decorated veterans, which includes a Medal of Honor recipient, was itself sued twice by Kerry campaign...

When it comes to choosing leaders, integrity comes first--and no man showed more integrity in 2004 than John O'Neill, the 2004 HUMAN EVENTS Man of the Year. He helped to teach us the truth about John Kerry and counter the lies Kerry spread about the image of the Vietnam veteran, whom Kerry maligned three decades ago when, as an anti-war agitator, he presented slanderous testimony in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Kerry wanted voters to see him as a war hero who stood by his "band of brothers." But John O'Neill and the Swift Boat veterans had a different view--of...

Many readers have emailed us to say that on tonight's Scarborough Country, MSNBC "Senior Political Analyst" Lawrence O'Donnell went more or less insane. John O'Neill was on the program, and Pat Buchanan was subbing for Scarborough. Apparently O'Donnell went completely nuts, screaming "Liar! Liar!" at O'Neill, who kept his temper despite O'Donnell's raving. Our readers say it was the most bizarre incident in a frequently surreal campaign season. The transcript is not yet available on the Scarborough site, but we'll link to it when it comes up, which should be tomorrow. UPDATE: The Daikly Recycler has the video. It's unbelievable....

Watch John O'neil on MSNC

The following statement from John O'Neil, member of Swift Boat Veterans and POW's for Truth, concerns a news segment that aired on October 14th on ABC's Nightline with Ted Koppel. "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...

OPINION -- There was something almost quaint about the Chicago Tribune’s editorial assertion August 24 declaring that the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth controversy surrounding John Kerry’s war record was over. Forgetting that we are in the midst of a “new media” revolution that allows everyday Americans to investigate truth claims on their own - without the clouded filter of biased journalists - the Tribune editors wrote, “That should be the end of the debate about John Kerry's experience in Vietnam.” Days before, the Tribune had injected itself prominently into the presidential campaign and the Swift Boat controversy by giving...

(Sample question, one of many) Bethlehem, Pa.: Mr. O'Neill, you are questioning the validity of medals awarded to John Kerry by the U.S. government. Aren't you also by implication questioning the competency of the medal eligibility determinations made by U.S. military brass? If so, aren't you in reality calling into question the authenticity of every medal awarded to every U.S. serviceman? If so, how do we differentitate the "good" medals from the "bad" medals? John E. O'Neill: A portion of the book deals with the incidents in which John Kerry obtained medals. With respect to John Kerry’s first Purple Heart...

This is a transcript of the first 40 minutes of an interview with John O'Neill and Jerome Corsi from the Sean Hannity Show, taped off AM radio on 8/10/04. I've edited out the repeated introductions to each segment. If I have time, I'll transcribe and post the rest of the interview later in another thread. Hannity: Today is the release date for this book, it's called "Unfit for Command--Swift Boat Veterans Speak Out Against John Kerry." The authors of this book join us for their first interview, now in studio John O'Neill and Jerome Corsi. Gentlemen thank you for being...

I see bad fortune for Freepers in the future. If any of you have hopes and ambitions, yo'd better not link your identity to freeper handle. I see more smear campaigns like the one against O'Neil, IRS audits against Democrat enemies ala Clintonistas and on and on. This use of John's comments as a obfuscation tool in the swift boat case against Kerry is the first attack I can remember against a Freeper in this way. Of course he did some work with the site in some way that exposed him and his record on the site because of the...

August 9, 2004 WASHINGTON, D.C. -- The television ad that aroused the wrath of John McCain and journalist supporters of John Kerry just begins deconstruction of the Democratic presidential candidate's war record. "Unfit for Command: Swift Boat Veterans Speak Out Against John Kerry," a 214-page critique of his performance in Vietnam and the antiwar movement, is off the presses ahead of schedule. I have read the book and found it is neither the political propaganda nor the urban legend that its detractors claim. It is a passionate but meticulously researched account of how Kerry went to war, what he did...
