More from the ONeill protest on Saturday. An article: http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/ssistory.mpl/front/2802707 "Who in their right mind would attack a veteran who actually volunteered to go to Vietnam?" protester John Cobarruvias asked. "Attacking a veteran who went to war, who got shot at, is wrong." And pictures:

A never-before-published after-action report obtained from the Naval archives by "Unfit for Command" co-author Jerome Corsi confirms key contradictions cited by the Swiftboat Veterans for Truth about John Kerry's Vietnam battle claims. The documents contain battle damage reports from a March 1969 incident that show Kerry's PCF 94 swiftboat sustained no bullet hole damage after being exposed to what the report claims was "heavy A/W and S/A from both banks" of the Bay Hap River that lasted "for about 5000 meters." The episode is the most famous of Kerry's combat exploits, the one where he claims to have rescued Special...

Last week was the KerryLied Rally in Washington, D.C. that many Vietnam veterans had been waiting months for. It was a good rally, Free Republic was well represented, especially with Tax Relief constantly sitrepping Huber, who was keeping the world updated through Free Republic. The weather was great, and everybody went home feeling good about coming together to repudiate the lies, treachery, deceit and traitorous behavior of John Forbes Kerry in 1970, 1971, and 1972. For some of us it was only the start. Mentor, Ohio is a bedroom suburb of Cleveland, snuggled up under Lake Erie 25 miles to...

<p>September 19, 2004 -- President Bush yesterday defended his National Guard record, saying his military supervisors gave him permission to work on a political campaign while he served in the Air National Guard.</p> <p>Bush questioned the authenticity of documents used by CBS News anchor Dan Rather that accuse him of getting special treatment during his service in the Guard. "There are a lot of questions about the documents and they need to be answered," Bush said."I think what needs to Ÿhappen is people need to take a look at the documents, how they were created and let the truth come out."</p>

The widely repeated myth of "John Kerry, the Vietnam Navy Hero" is one of the most dishonorable and dangerous deceptions ever perpetrated upon the American public. John Kerry is not a hero. He built this facade with unabashed personal promotion, aided and abetted by a supportive liberal media ready and willing to repeat in print his gross exaggerations, distortions of fact, and outright lies about his abbreviated four-month, 12-day tour of duty in Vietnam. Until the Swift Boat Veterans for the Truth spoke up in press conferences, television ads, and with the now best-selling book, Unfit for Command, no one...

It is being reported by major news outlets like FoxNews and ABC News now that Bill Burkett, the source of the fake memos, first sent them to the Kerry campaign before CBS even knew about them. The Associated Press obtained a copy of an email transmitted to a list of Texas Democrats about a conversation he had with Kerry campaign advisor, and former Senator, Max Cleland. The email to the Texas Democrats indicated that Burkett and Cleland spoke about information that would counter criticism of Kerry's Vietnam War service. It stated, "I asked if they wanted to counterattack or ride...

Claim: This is simply a he-said, she-said story, with Kerry on one side and other observers on the other. Fact: Many of the inconsistencies between accounts come from John Kerry himself. He has now given three conflicting accounts involving the Bay Hap River incident of March 13, 1969, when a mine exploded under one of five swift boats patrolling the river. It was this incident in which Kerry was awarded a Bronze Star and his third Purple Heart. § In eulogizing a crewmate (recorded in the Congressional Record), Kerry reported that it was his boat that struck an underwater mine...

(CNSNews.com) - Democratic Presidential candidate John Kerry called the best-selling book Unfit for Command: Swift Boat Veterans Speak Out Against John Kerry "a pack of lies" in an interview with syndicated radio and MSNBC TV host Don Imus Wednesday morning. "Look, it's a pack of lies. It's an absolute pack of lies," Kerry said about the book. " It's been proven to be a pack of lies, and I have no interest in reading it," Kerry told Imus in response to a question about whether Kerry had read the book by Vietnam veteran John O'Neill and Jerome Corsi. Kerry said...

I was wrong. When I'm wrong, I admit it. And I was wrong. Five months ago, I predicted John Kerry would win the presidential election. I really thought he would for several reasons: President Bush's record – especially on domestic issues – was weak. He didn't show any desire to curtail illegal immigration. He even proposed yet another amnesty program, an idea entirely unpopular with the American people at any time, but I thought politically lethal at a time when the country is facing dramatic terrorist attacks. He also increased spending on a host of programs for which there is...

This essay can be published on other web sites so long as my name is listed as author. Is This Still the USA? By Jalexson Is this still the United States of America? Is this still the country where citizens have the right to call their president a liar, a cheat, a fraud, an incompetent, a thief, a coward, a scoundrel, a murderer, a tyrant or even a traitor without fear of being arrested or censored? John Kerry certainly doesn’t think so. He believes this is a country in which some presidential candidates, especially those in the Democratic Party, are...

In his campaign book Massachusetts Senator John Kerry notes there was fine line between actions that merited a court martial or a medal. He reported that medals were given for questionable activities in order to boost morale. This narrow distinction figures into the controversy that has raged for a several weeks regarding the Silver Star Kerry was awarded for killing a Vietnamese man. For more than 30 years, Kerry has portrayed a heroic version of a life and death struggle -- of staring down a suspected guerilla who was about to fire upon Kerry's swift boat. It was kill. Or...

Swift Boats, Slow Media By Chris Shugart, 13 sep 04 Give the media credit for their predictable consistency. And they at least get an ‘A’ for effort in their valiant (though transparent) attempt to ignore the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth organization. For three months these Vietnam vets were everywhere making bold public allegations about John Kerry’s “exaggerated claims about his own service in Viet Nam .” The media didn’t seem to notice. On May 4, at a televised press conference, eighteen Navy combat veterans and commanders went on the record opposing John Kerry's bid for the Presidency. These weren’t...

While viewing some Yahoo pics, I came across this photo and caption (emphasis added):Separated by police, anti-Bush protester Rigo Irizarry of New York, right, yells at members of the Texas-based pro-Bush group Protest Warrior outside Madison Square Garden in New York Thursday, Sept. 2, 2004, on the final night of the Republican National Convention. (AP Photo/Stuart Ramson) Now, IIRC, Kfir and Alan operate out of Austin these days, so this isn't a lie. Still, the words "Texas-based" leaped out at me. You never see ANSWER described as "Manhattan based" or any other such references being used with liberal groups. Suddenly...
