Kerry on His Relating the Stories Told By Other Vietnam Veterans. MR. RUSSERT: But, Senator, when you testified before the Senate, you talked about some of the hearings you had observed at the winter soldiers meeting and you said that people had personally raped, cut off ears, cut off heads, taped wires from portable telephones to human genitals and on and on. A lot of those stories have been discredited, and in hindsight was your testimony... SEN. KERRY: Actually, a lot of them have been documented. MR. RUSSERT: So you stand by that? SEN. KERRY: A lot of those stories...

"We are an independent group with no relationship to the Kerry-Edwards and Bush-Cheney Campaigns " Is what is written at the bottom right hand corner of the webpage. The column to the left the very first link says "contribute to our cause" the link is to contribute to the kerry campaign. They provide many links to anti-Bush sites and anti-Bush orgs including Center for American Progress. To those of you who have been to swiftvets.com you will notice that swiftvets.org has an "uncanny" resemblance to it. This site is obviously not a parody, but out and out plagiarism. The owners...

The 5 swiftboat deck logs for 13MAR69 ought not to be at odds. If the logs are actually available, the light they would shine on what really happened and who wrote what could be stunning, considering the entries required for these logs.

Steve Gardner was just on the Jerry Doyle radio show for the last hour and he broke some breaking news: 1) Swiftvets.com took in $280,000 just today before 1500 Hrs. and is going to be close to $400,000 for the day. 2) Judicial Watch (I know) just filed war crimes charged against Kerry to the Sec of the Navy for his Vietnam crimes of war he admitted to to the US Senate. 3) There will be some breaking news soon on actual Nave official documents about kerry that will prove more of his official lies.

Every campaign has a tipping point or two. In 2000, Bush was cruising until the last-weekend revelaion of a DUI. Democratic strategist Bob Beckel estimated that this cost Bush 1 million votes nationally. If so, certainly one can pro-rate that out to say, in another way, that the last-minute smear cost Bush the states of New Mexico, Wisconsin, and probably Iowa, and turned a safe victory into a squeaker. Until then, however, the focal points of the elections were the three debates, where Bush won two clearly and held his own in the third. Algore looked frantic in one, on...

Found slanderous Swiftvets.org site while attemping to donate to the Swifties efforts. Need help putting 2+2 together. Common link seems to be Democracy for America and Change for America. Both have state orgs links that ref to The New Organization of Gov Howard Dean. WSC1.JOMAX.NET is another common. I could not ID 216.21.228.13. I'm new at this, as vet would like to know who is behind these efforts. I'm sure all the dots lead to DNC, but how?

Do you believe the Swift Boat Vets? Another poll.

The Swift Boat Veterans for Truth stopped by NEWSWEEK's Washington bureau this week to explain their version of what happened in Vietnam 35 years ago and why John Kerry doesn't deserve three Purple Hearts. None were on the Swift Boat Kerry commanded, but they had charts to illustrate their contention that Kerry's boat did not come under fire and that two of his wounds were self-inflicted, one when he hurled a grenade at a rice bin too close to his position. A generation of reporters far removed from any war experience listened respectfully to their story. Between the fog of...

In my article Bush and Uncommon Valor, I state that although it is fair to recognize Sen. Kerry's four-month war record and medals, it is what he did after leaving the military that deserves the greatest scrutiny. He became a turncoat by misrepresenting to the American public what our soldiers were doing in Southeast Asia. As part of the anti-war movement with Jane Fonda, he maligned, mocked and discredited our soldiers. He lied about what our soldiers were doing in combat. He defamed our brave fighting men. Today, John Kerry holds a place of honor in the Communist War Remnants...

ARLINGTON, VA -- "This is a frivolous complaint that even John Kerry’s chief strategist has said they have no evidence to support. Real coordination is what John Kerry’s campaign has been engaged in with the Media Fund, America Coming Together, and MoveOn.org. The revolving door of personnel, coordinated strategies and overlapping fundraising between the Democrat 527s and the Kerry campaign is a flagrant disregard of the spirit and letter of the campaign finance reform law." - Statement by Bush-Cheney ‘04 Spokesman Steve Schmidt

Swiftvet Larry Thurlow, a highly decorated veteran will appear on Scarborough Country at 10 PM EDT on MSNBC to discuss the book "Unfit for Command". Don't miss it !

Major Garrett on Fox News just stated that these pro-Kerry groups have spent $63 million bashing Bush, and that 17 members of these 527 groups had or still have connections to the Democratic party.

Man oh man are the sick-o-fants in the mainstream media worried. They will stop at nothing to spin for John Kerry. A short time ago, I received a call from ABC Television asking me to answer questions for their poll about the UNFIT FOR COMMAND controversy. Unbelievably, these hacks began pre-recorded questioning with: Have you heard of the Swift Boat veterans commercial by supporters of George Bush? When I heard that question, I hung up. Incredible. They are going to have to be pulled kicking and screaming into the valley of truth. They are not enjoying the SwiftVet true story...

Friday, August 20 2004 KERRY CAMPAIGN'S FIRST SERIOUS MISTAKE: Yesterday afternoon I received a form email from John Kerry campaign manager, Mary Beth Cahill. It began: Today marks the end of the dishonest and disgusting smear campaign against John Kerry and his crewmates from Vietnam. This morning on the front page of the Washington Post, one of the central figures in the effort to distort John Kerry's military service was completely discredited. The Kerry campaign must have thought that yesterday's front page Washington Post story attempting to discredit one of Kerry's critics, coupled with Kerry's public engagement of the...

<p>Here's a peek behind the cable TV curtain. It's not pretty. So, my publicist arranges for me to go on MSNBC's Hardball with Chris Matthews on Thursday night to talk about my recent columns on the FBI and national security profiling and my new book. Despite the show's basement ratings, we figure it's a good opportunity to reach out to a new audience. FOX News, with whom I have a contract, has generously allowed me to appear on some competing networks to talk about the book. Thursday was the second to the last day that I could make such appearances.</p>

A pin of sharp allegations has punctured the carefully constructed balloon of John Kerry's campaign known as his military history. A history that Kerry himself claims qualifies him to be commander-in-chief of this nation. And like a pierced balloon, he's darting and weaving around the piercing allegations in the recently released book "Unfit for Command" by former Navy officer John O'Neill and Harvard University professor Jerome Corsi. This appears to be a meticulously researched book chronicling a shameful history of betrayal and deception. Eyewitness accounts of Kerry's military performance from many officers and sailors, including footnotes, signed affidavits and expert...

http://www.wbt.com/hancock/index.cfm This is link to the Charlotte radio station that carried Stephen Gardner's in studio interview on 8.6.04. He had another in studio interview 8.18.04, but the audio is not up yet. Gardner served on Kerry's boat and is the only one that is a member of Swift Vets. He was there, he has the material, he is telling the TRUTH!

Show Chris Matthews that we don't accept his ignorant bias on Kerry and the Swift Boat Vets. Right now, this poll is leaning 67/33 in favor of voters believing Kerry over the Swifties.
