We promised it, so here it is. And surprise - it's not one ad but two! These ads will debut tonight on FoxNews (Special Report w/ Brit Hume), but we have the transcripts. This is going to be a MASSIVE ad puchase, and as was hinted earlier, they will be aired during Monday Night Football The first ad is a 60-second spot featuring 90 swift boat veterans, in a a three-deep line, with the camera panning across the crowd - close-up and slowly. No vets speak, but the announcer delivers the following lines: Announcer: They served their country with courage...

I hope this is good

We need to let them know that the majority support their showing the "Stolen Honor" documentary and support our veterans (I'm one myself). Thanks! http://www.newscentral.tv/

Midnight in South Vietnam, and the river is black. Past the rice paddies and shacks, small fires are burning by the shoreline as Lt. John H. Davis' 50-foot aluminum swift boat — PCF 19 — makes its routine patrol through the reeds. In a split second, rocket fire shatters the silence, and through a plume of oily smoke, the boat sinks to the river's bottom. "My whole crew lost their lives that night. I was the only one who survived," Lt. Davis says. Lt. Davis, now 62, lost his left eye. The bones in both legs were shattered. But the...

Steve Doocey interviewed former New Hampshire govenor Jeanne Shaheen this morning on FOX & Friends. He asked her why John Kerry won't sign Form 180 to release all of his military records. She said that the SwiftVets were lying about him not releasing his records, and that all of his records are on-line at his web site. Has she always been such a liar?

To: Senator John Kerry (D-MA) Upon your return from Vietnam, you betrayed your fellow veterans by accusing them of engaging in horrendous war crimes. Through your post-war activities, and during Senate testimony viewed by the entire nation, you created and nurtured the myth that American soldiers in Vietnam were involved in such crimes on a daily basis, and that such activity was sanctioned by our commanding officers. Specifically, you stated that we: "had personally raped, cut off ears, cut off heads, taped wires from portable telephones to human genitals and turned up the power, cut off limbs, blown up bodies,...

The swiftboat emails I am receiving (I donated and signed up) have the W32beagle virus attached. My protection system culls and removes and I do not get the email. Anyone else having this problem?

The battle over John Kerry's Vietnam War record flared up in Chicago on Tuesday, when members of a fledgling group that supports the Democratic presidential nominee confronted one of the authors of an anti-Kerry book at a downtown luncheon. At one point, the bickering became so intense that organizers called in police. No arrests were made, but the book signing and speech, sponsored by the City Club of Chicago, were punctuated with sharp exchanges between co-author John O'Neill and members of a group called truthandtrust.com. "My book was the truth," O'Neill said after the luncheon. "I'm thrilled that they could...

WASHINGTON — A political action group of Vietnam War veterans that has attacked Democratic candidate John F. Kerry over his combat record has begun a new television and direct mail blitz, enriched by $3 million in contributions from two longtime financial supporters of President Bush and the Republican Party. In filings with the Federal Election Commission last week, officials of the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth disclosed two $1-million donations from Harold Simmons, a billionaire chemical and waste industry magnate, and another $1 million from oilman T. Boone Pickens. Both base their corporate empires in the Dallas area. The mammoth...

NavyChief Joining this website in August and throwing my two cents worth into the discussion surrounding the SBVT controversy, I had no idea what a small world this would be. I worked on the US/Russia Joint Commission on POW/MIA with various Senators, Congressmen, STATE and DOD officials for 4 years. This is where my first encounter with Senator Kerry came from. His office was aloof in our work on this important issue. They refused to participate in our findings and hard work to account for American POW/MIAS from WWII, Korea, Cold War, and Vietnam -- even though Senator Kerry was...

I am writing to you, John Kerry, in rebuttal to many of your statements in the debates. I will quote your responses, and then give you my response. You may have convinced, and pulled the wool over the eyes of some, but not mine. You have most definitely earned the title I have seen on the internet “Scary Kerry”. “I have a better plan for homeland security. I have a better plan to be able to fight the war on terror by strengthening our military", Please tell me something in your plan that the President has not already done or...

A faded 35-year-old operations order recovered from the Naval Historical Center in Washington bears directly on the ongoing dispute between Senator Kerry and the Swiftboat Veterans for Truth about who wrote the key after-action report that ended Mr. Kerry's service in Vietnam. The report appears in the official Navy records and is posted on Mr. Kerry's campaign Web site. According to a Navy communications expert, Troy Jenkins, who has examined the message traffic, the report in question was sent from the USCGC Spencer, Commander Lonsdale's command ship, at 11:20 that night. Only three of the officers on the mission that...

New Document Indicates Kerry Wrote Disputed Vietnam Report BY THOMAS LIPSCOMB - Special to the Sun October 1, 2004 Conclusion: Kerry wrote the disputed after action report that is the basis for his bronze star.

The new swift boat ad features the wives of former POW's. Very powerful as usual. Remember you can donate to keep the ads on the air at www.swiftvets.com

Col. George E. "Bud" Day was Senator John McCain's cellmate in the Hanoi Hilton. The following is a letter to Joe Scarborough and John O'Neil from Medal of Honor Recipient and former POW Colonel Bud Day. Dear Joe: The major issue in the Swiftboat stories is, and always has been, what John Kerry did in 1971 after he returned from Vietnam. Kerry cast a long dark shadow over all Vietnam Veterans with his outright perjury before the Senate concerning atrocities in Vietnam. His stories to the Senate committee were absolute lies..fabrications..perjury..fantasies, with NO substance. That dark shadow has defamed the...

Area bookstores have been stocking their shelves in time for the Nov. 2 election. A number of political books on President George W. Bush, Senator John Kerry, the war on terror and other election issues are making partisan pitches to readers. And more are on the way, including two from Michael Moore, who took a swing from the left at Bush in his documentary "Fahrenheit 9-11." Moore's two books are "Will They Ever Trust Us Again?," a collection of letters written to Moore by U.S. soldiers in Iraq, and "The Official 'Fahrenheit 9-11' Reader," to accompany his DVD of the...

A Clackamas County prosecutor has been suspended without pay for two weeks after he admitted using office equipment to print an affidavit in which he called Sen. John Kerry a liar. But the district attorney's office said Friday that Alfred French will not be disciplined for lying about an interoffice affair to his then-boss in the 1990s. French, who was put on leave Aug. 26 amid complaints about the commercial and his acknowledgement that he lied about the affair, will return to work Oct. 4, according to a press release from District Attorney John Foote's office. French will retain his...

Those who dismiss critics of John Kerry's Vietnam service as just a bunch of right-wing Republicans out to advance George W. Bush's cause don't know what they are talking about -- or they are engaged in wishful thinking. Okay, I may have once thought that about the critics, too. But after poring over the large volume of e-mail I received after my Aug. 28 column, "What Matters About Kerry and Vietnam," I don't any longer .....Bill Clinton appointed Coleman to the Pentagon post, in which he served from 1994 to 1998. Somehow, despite our running into each other over the...
