Michael Dobbs was answering submitted questions online today at the Post. Dobbs is Mr. Sidestepper himself, and appears to be nothing more than an apologist for the Kerry camp.

In a few days the CFR 60 day limitation on soft money ads ( aka those not paid for directly by the party or by the candidate ). This is going to impact the Swift Boat Veterans. Kerry on the other hand will be smack dab in the middle of dealing with the issues they have raised. If Kerry & Kompany directly make statements against the swift boat vets then it would seem to me that would open up the achilles heal of CFR, Free Speach. If these guys are being discredited personally then don't they have the right to...

Drudge report is headlining FEC complaint by Kerry. 5:00 Friday Aug. 20th.

I'll be the first to admit to not having read everything pertaining to the Swifties effort in 'Unfit' and the emerging media & political bruhaha over same of late. But I can't help but notice the deafening absence of outrage from the Clintons. For years after GWB was rightfully and thankfully elected I remember thinking everytime I saw anything about Clinton 'why is this guy in the news'. I know, he's the media darling and all, and so is Mrs. Clinton, but where is the outrage from the Clinton camp around the Swifties efforts allegedly besmirching the self affirmed 'honorable'...

Unfit for Command: Swift Boat Veterans Speak Out Against John Kerry By John O'Neill and Jerome R. Corsi (published by Regnery, a sister company of HUMAN EVENTS) will debut Sunday at No. 3 on the New York Times Bestseller List. Yet, O'Neill, who took over command of Kerry's Swift Boat 94 when Kerry left Vietnam after serving only four months of the typical one-year tour, has not been given broad exposure in the establishment media. Nor have several former Navy officers who served beside Kerry in Vietnam and who were on-the-record sources for O'Neill's book. When O'Neill did appear on...

I am so puking. Texas GOPers support the ad, "infamous ad" ,etc...

John O'Neill coming up on Laura Ingraham. If you don't have an affiliate on AM radio, go to her site and get it on the internet. LAURA INGRAHAM WEBSITE

Click here to help elect Kerry-Edwards & other Democrats in 2004 Dear Jd, I'm interrupting John Kerry's dispatches from the road to tell you about something that will make you angry, but which is important for you to hear. We knew it was coming: the Bush campaign and several allied right-wing groups are using August to launch a vicious smear attack against John Kerry. They think we're vulnerable this month because while George Bush is still able to raise money for attack ads, Kerry had to stop fundraising at the Democratic convention last week. They're taking this opportunity to go...

Dear Oxen, I'm interrupting John Kerry's dispatches from the road to tell you about something that will make you angry, but which is important for you to hear. We knew it was coming: the Bush campaign and several allied right-wing groups are using August to launch a vicious smear attack against John Kerry. They think we're vulnerable this month because while George Bush is still able to raise money for attack ads, Kerry had to stop fundraising at the Democratic convention last week. They're taking this opportunity to go for the jugular. We need you to join us in this...

Interview from 8-10-4 edition of the Hugh Hewitt Radio program. I interviewed Steve Gardner today. He served two tours in Vietnam, including two months and two weeks of John Kerry's swift boat service--on John Kerry's swift boat-- from November 1968 through January 1969:HH: Mr. Gardner, welcome to the Hugh Hewittt Show, it is an honor to talk to you.SG: I am glad to be here Hugh.HH: Thanks for your service.SG: Thank you again, I really appreciate you're allowing me to come aboard.HH: Now let me start with some basics. I said you served two tours in Vietnam. Can you tell...

Sure, this is silly and politically immaterial, given that some of our greatest war presidents (Franklin Delano Roosevelt, for example) never served. But if he chooses to base his candidacy on his performance in Vietnam, fellow veterans who knew him and served with him have a right, and perhaps even a duty, to comment on that record.

"Kerry's Cambodia Christmas lie" As reported by the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth group, through their lawyers’ letter sent to the television station managers regarding the Swifties’ anti-Kerry ad... and now reported on DRUDGE... John Kerry has been caught in yet another Vietnam whopping lie. Here is John Kerry’s statement, on record, from the Senate Floor in 1986: “I remember Christmas of 1968 sitting on a gunboat in Cambodia. I remember what it was like to be shot at by the Vietnamese and Khmer Rouge and Cambodians, and have the president of the United States telling the American people...

IowaPresidentialWatch.com            Aug. 8, 2004 This week the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth group (a 527 PAC) launched a 30-second anti-Kerry television ad aimed at Kerry's Vietnam record. The 'Swifties' claim Kerry is lying and distorting the truth about the medals he received during his 4 months operating a Swift Boat during the Vietnam War. The Kerry campaign retaliated through lawyers, sending a threatening letter to the television stations about the ad. Controversy further swirled around a Boston Globe article and reporter Michael Kranish as to the accuracy of comments supposedly said by Commander George Elliott, one of the Swifties....

Lawyers for the DNC and Kerry-Edwards sent this letter to television station managers, claiming the Swift Boat Veterans For Truth ad is "false" and "libelous." Click here for the full letter (can't be pasted into Free Republic window).

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,...
