The following transcript is taken from ABC's special June 30, 1971 broadcast of "The Dick Cavett Show," during which former Navy Lieutenant John Kerry represented Vietnam Veterans Against the War. He was opposed by fellow Navy veteran John O'Neill, representing Vietnam Veterans for a Just Peace. ---------- MR. CAVETT: The fact is I don't have an opening monologue tonight because the subject of the show is quite serious, and I figured why make it more serious with one of my monologues, so I thought I would just start in. You know, I guess, who my two guests are tonight: John...

ANTI-KERRY VETS HANG TOUGH Fri Aug 06 2004 13:37:12 ET The following statement from Swift Boat Veterans for Truth concerns an article appearing in morning edition of the Boston Globe: "Viet Vet Captain George Elliott describes an article appearing in today’s edition of the Boston Globe by Mike Kranish as extremely inaccurate and highly misstating his actual views. He reaffirms his statement in the current advertisement paid for by the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, Captain Elliott reaffirms his affidavit in support of that advertisement, and he reaffirms his request that he ad be played. “Additional documentation will follow. The...

John Kerry's commanding officer in Vietnam has backed away from attacks on the Democratic presidential candidate, saying he made a mistake in accusing the U.S. senator of having lied about his wartime record. George Elliott, who was one of Kerry's superiors in Vietnam when he was awarded medals for heroic actions, had signed an affidavit suggesting Kerry did not deserve the Silver Star. In the document, Elliott said, "I was never informed that he had simply shot a wounded, fleeing Viet Cong in the back." But in Friday's Boston Globe, Elliott said: "It was a terrible mistake probably for me...

If Kerry really want's the truth about his military background to come out, all he has to do is sign this form. I think we need to get it to him. By the THOUSANDS! Freep Time!

A caller to the the Bruce Jacobs Morning Talk Show on KFYI Phoenix says he has been researching John Kerry's war record. The caller, himself a Vietnam Vet, claims that after Kerry returned from Vietnam, he wouls automatically become part of the "Ready Reserve" for the next two years, and, as such, would be required to attend weekend training and camps. There is no record of him doing this that has been found to date, furthermore, the cites that Kerry's Haircut , as seen on TV at that time, would never have passed muster at said weekends or camps. Also...

John McCain is a hero and the Swiftboat vets are greater heros As a Blue Water sailor of the US Navy of the Vietnam era I'd like to say that among my shipmates it was the Brown Water sailors of the Swiftboats that we admired the most for their courage and valour. If I remember properly - warning, I do suffer, sometimes, from CRS Syndrome - The swifties suffered a higher rate of death and injury than any other units in Vietnam speeding up and down those treacherous rivers on unarmoured boats without any of the body armour that protects...

Elliott said he was no under personal or political pressure to sign the statement, but he did feel ''time pressure" from those involved in the book. ''That's no excuse," Elliott said. ''I knew it was wrong . . . In a hurry I signed it and faxed it back. That was a mistake." The affidavit also contradicted earlier statements by Elliott, who came to Boston during Kerry's 1996 Senate campaign to defend Kerry on similar charges, saying that Kerry acted properly and deserved the Silver Star. The book, ''Unfit for Command: Swift Boat Veterans Speak Out Against John Kerry," is...

WASHINGTON (AP) -- A wealthy Texan and prolific Republican donor is helping bankroll a television ad assailing Democrat John Kerry's decorated military record in the Vietnam War. Houston homebuilder Bob J. Perry has donated at least $100,000 to Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, a suburban Washington-based group airing a new ad in which Vietnam veterans who served on swift boats accuse the Democratic presidential nominee of lying about his war record. The group bought $500,000 of airtime for the 60-second ad to air in the battleground states of Wisconsin, Ohio and West Virginia. The effort is reminiscent of a 2000...

A new book written by the Swift Boat sailors who served with John Kerry in Vietnam offers a devastating critique of his military record. According to DrudgeReport, "Unfit for Command: Swift Boat Veterans Speak Out Against John Kerry," written by John O'Neill and Jerome R. Corsi, adds new details to revelations about Kerry's record.

HUMAN EVENTS has obtained a copy of a letter which lawyers for the Democratic National Committee and John Kerry have sent to television station managers attempting to suppress the blistering anti-Kerry TV spot created by the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth and first reported here on HumanEventsOnline.com. The letter claims the ad is "false" and "libelous" and suggests, in not-so-subtle terms, that TV stations should use their "legal authority" to refuse any requests for advertising airtime, stating that "because your station has this freedom [to refuse the ad], and because it is not a 'use' of your facilities by a...

Dick Morris, on O'Reilly tonight, seemed to think that the Swiftboat ad would be more harmful than helpful to the Bush campaign. O.K., so Morris has questionable credentials as a political analyst, we all know. But does he have a point? Sure, the truth is the truth, and I will never disagree with my highly-decorated (WWII)father's opinion that there is no way in Hell that John Kerry earned 3 purple hearts legitimately . . . nor is Dad very impressed by the story of Kerry pulling a man out of the water(the silver star?) . . . and my father,...

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A veterans group that has been sharply critical of Sen. John Kerry launched an ad Thursday that accuses the Democratic presidential nominee of lying about his Vietnam war record. "John Kerry betrayed the men and women he served with in Vietnam," former Lt. Shelton White, one of the veterans, says in the ad. Kerry's campaign quickly pointed out that not one of the men featured in the commercial served in the two patrol boats Kerry commanded in Vietnam and that some of them had previously been quoted as praising Kerry. Kerry's campaign also released material noting that...

HUMAN EVENTS has obtained a copy of a scorching new television advertisement addressing Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry's record in Vietnam that has been produced by Swift Boat Veterans for the Truth. The group is a non-partisan "527" organization whose membership is limited to former military officers and enlisted men who served in Vietnam on Navy Swift Boats or affiliated commands. The group says, "Senator Kerry misrepresented his own actions and those of his fellow officers and men." Swift Boat Veterans for Truth is chaired by Rear Admiral Roy Hoffman, USN (ret), and includes on its steering committee John O'Neill,...

John Kerry's "band of brothers" hasn't had much to say about his 1971 testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee where he claimed GIs in Vietnam routinely committed atrocities. Now former CNN executive Ted Kavanau says it's high time for somebody to ask them to verify Kerry's under-oath account. The would-be commander in chief claimed that American soldiers, "personally raped, cut off ears, cut off heads, taped wires from portable telephones to human genitals and turned up the power, cut off limbs, [blew] up bodies, randomly shot at civilians, razed villages in a fashion reminiscent of Genghis Khan, shot cattle...
