Unfit for Command: Swift Boat Veterans Speak Out Against John Kerry by John E. O'Neill, Jerome R. Corsi Usually ships in 5 to 7 weeks

For Immediate Release August 19, 2004 Statement By Swift Boat Veterans for Truth Member Larry Thurlow I am convinced that the language used in my citation for a Bronze Star was language taken directly from John Kerry's report which falsely described the action on the Bay Hap River as action that saw small arms fire and automatic weapons fire from both banks of the river. To this day, I can say without a doubt in my mind, along with other accounts from my shipmates-there was no hostile enemy fire directed at my boat or at any of the five boats...

Statement by Navy Veteran Van Odell, Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, in Rebuttal to Michael Dobbs, Washington Post, August 19, 2004 A courageous, soft spoken man of the Midwest, Larry Thurlow has a heart bigger than the great plains and a commitment to truth and honesty that is boundless. He is under attack, because John Kerry is feeling the heat of truth at the hands of this honest man and others like him. The Kerry Campaign is attacking the truthfulness of this man and the Bronze Star he so richly deserves for his actions on March 13, 1969. I was...

On kerry's own website he has the article that talks about that "secret mission" in Cambodia: http://www.johnkerry.com/pressroom/news/news_2003_0601.html Paragraph close to the bottom

It happened 27 years ago and 12,000 miles away. Does it matter now? In the heat of the Massachusetts Senate campaign, a new account has raised questions about what happened on a river bank in the Ca Mau peninsula on Feb. 28, 1969. That was the day that Sen. John Kerry won the Silver Star, the nation's third-highest award for bravery, for, among other things, killing an enemy soldier. The events of that day, and their lengthy aftermath, are what this column is about. In a conversation with me Monday, however, Tom Bellodeau, the rear gunner of John Kerry's boat...

The book appears to be meticulously researched and reported. It is replete with copious footnotes, a detailed index and two appendices. First-hand witnesses are named and quoted verbatim to support each specific, shocking charge. Each charge of false heroics is logically presented. Theauthors quote the official Navy citation and then present the purported eyewitnesstestimony that refutes the official finding. The witnesses who are summoned forth are officers and men who served simultaneously with Mr. Kerry in Coastal Division 11 and purport to be eyewitnesses to the events in question. And yet, there is another group of men, the sailors who...

KERRY/CAMBODIA UPDATE: I promised a while back to see if I could get a look at the Boston Herald story -- where Kerry says he remembers spending Christmas, 1968 in Cambodia and hearing President Nixon deny that troops were there -- in original form. The quote's genuine, and here's an image. Sorry it's a bit hard to read: it's a scan of a fax of a photocopy of a microfilm, sent to me by a helpful reader who works at the Herald. But what's really interesting is the context -- see the full scan here -- which is all about...

PAT BUCHANAN, GUEST HOST: Is John Kerry unfit for command? That's what John O‘Neill says. He is the Naval officer who took over command of Kerry‘s swift boat in Vietnam. His new book claims Kerry is no war hero at all, that he didn‘t deserve his Purple Hearts, Bronze Star or Silver Star, and that he committed acts bordering on treason in wartime. John O'Neill is here to tell all for his first interview on MSNBC.

May 24, 2004 issue Copyright © 2004 The American Conservative http://amconmag.com/2004_05_24/taki.html American Gigolo By Taki So there’s always a first time. If John Kerry wins in November, he will be the premiere president of this great country of ours to be also a gigolo. The dictionary defines “gigolo” as a man supported by a woman in return for his sexual attentions and companionship. It might sound rough for John Kerry, but it’s right to the point. Let’s face it. The 44th president (maybe) is as close to a gigolo as I can think of, and I have known many. In...

Reprinted from NewsMax.com Tuesday, Apr. 27, 2004 1:11 AM EDTKerry Blackout: Couldn't Recall Where He Lived for 20 Months Facing a tough reelection battle and questions about his personal finances, Sen. John Kerry told the Boston Globe in 1996 that he couldn't remember where he lived for nearly two years in the 1980's, only to admit later that wealthy contributors had put him up in the Boston area. Less than a month before his election face-off with Massachusetts Gov. William Weld, the Globe reported that during an interview, Kerry "at first insisted that he did not recall where he lived...

Well gawwllleee Yall! Look who it is...

I was digging into the batter's box one Saturday morning in San Pedro a couple of years ago when the catcher behind me muttered, "I'm a Vietnam vet, and I've been waiting for twenty years to say you should be dead or in jail for being a traitor." The umpire said nothing. I flied out to center. Later we talked. Then we became friends. It turned out that his hatred was toward my ex-wife, not me, because he believed certain website fabrications about Jane Fonda that circulate among veterans. Twice the Republicans in the California legislature tried to block my...

By Gayle Fee and Laura Raposa Tuesday, March 9, 2004 The obscenity backlash that stung Howard Stern and Janet Jackson has had no apparent effect on presidential-wannabe John Kerry - his campaign Web site is littered with the F-bomb and other naughty words! Oy! Good thing the FCC has no jurisdiction over the World Wide Web! Typing the world's most famous curse word into the search engine on johnkerry.com yields four pages containing the F-word, online gossip-monger Matt Drudge reported yesterday. There is, of course, the now-infamous Rolling Stone interview where the presumed Democratic nominee sums up the war in...

Tell the Secretary of the Senate to DOCK KERRY PAY for missing work (it's the law)According to the Congressional Record, John Kerry missed work 64% of the time last session.  But, he received his full salary (from YOUR tax dollars).John Kerry has missed all but one vote this session.  But, he received his full salary (from YOUR tax dollars).This violates Federal Law.2 U.S.C. § 39 mandates that "The Secretary of the Senate ... shall deduct from the [salary] of each Member ... the amount of his salary for each day that he has been absent from the Senate ... unless...

<p>"For the last several days I have seen Internet and tabloid rumors relating to me and Senator John Kerry. Because these stories were false, I assumed the media would ignore them. It seems that efforts to peddle these lies continue, so I feel compelled to address them. I have never had a relationship with Senator Kerry, and the rumors in the press are completely false. Whoever is spreading these rumors and allegations does not know me, but should know the pain they have caused me and my family. I am in Kenya with my fiance visiting his family, and we ask that the press respect our privacy and leave all of us alone."</p>

THE beauty said to have had a fling with presidential hopeful John Kerry has recorded a bombshell tell-all interview. Journalist Alex Polier taped a talk with a US TV network at Christmas. The former Washington intern, 27, told all about an alleged fling with the 60-year-old super-rich senator in spring 2001. The channel is sitting on the tape until it has enough evidence to back her story. If the sex claims are true, they would shatter his White House hopes. Kerry, a married dad of two, has denied the fling. But Alex told pals she fled to Kenya on his...

NICHOLS NOTES HEAR IT FIRST BY LARRY NICHOLS THE NEWS BEFORE IT IS NEWS Volume II - Issue 07 - February 14, 2004 KERRY IS TOAST! With the Clintons around, nothing is ever as it seems. As most of you know by now, Senator Kerry looks like he is the obvious winner of the Democratic Party's Primary for this election season. Unfortunately, it will not work out that way. As I told you last week, Kerry is nothing but a player in a theatrical event for the sole purpose of furthering Hillary Clinton's personal agenda. Last week I told you...

Presidential historian Douglas Brinkley revealed Sunday that Democratic presidential front-runner John Kerry personally met with "Hanoi Jane" Fonda at least twice during the days when the two played leading roles in the group Vietnam Veterans Against the War, including a never before detailed 1971 meeting in Detroit. "The Jane Fonda incidents occurred in two places; one on a march from Morristown to Valley Forge when they shared a platform at Valley Forge," Brinkley told WABC Radio's Steve Malzberg. "Then he met her in the more troubling Detroit Howard Johnson's Comfort Center [event], where there was this thing called the Winter...
