O'Neil is taking Ted Koppel apart right now and Koppel is trying to keep him from talking. this is real good.

According to the after-action report, after beaching the Swift boat, Kerry "chased VC inland, behind hooch, and shot him while he fled, capturing one B-40 rocket launcher, with round in chamber." Does the following square with Kerry’s after action report? "Firing from over here. Firing from over there. Firing from the boat," Vo Thi Vi told Nightline. She was only a couple hundred yards away when a Swift boat turned and approached the shore, she said, adding that the boat was unleashing a barrage of gunfire as it approached. "I ran," she recalled, "Running fast. … And the Americans came...

I don't know how to go about it, but I was thinking it would be a good idea to ask the Swiftvets and the POWs to march on the Capitol. If the organs of the media have locked us out there is only one thing to do: go straight to the people. And THAT means going to Washington. The networks will HAVE to cover it. The veterans can speak directly to the people from the steps of the Capitol building or the Washington Mall. The traitor Kerry and his VVAW compatriots did it back in the day. WE need to...

The Swift Boat Controversy: New Witnesses October 14, 2004 John Kerry's service in Vietnam has become a campaign issue. The group calling itself Swift Boat Veterans for Truth alleges that Kerry has distorted the truth about what happened during the war and questions whether he deserved the medals he received. Tonight, you'll hear from eyewitnesses who have not spoken before: the Vietnamese who fought against him. We've had the debates and the race is a virtual dead-heat. This is the part of a campaign when there are daily fires--issues that rise, flare, and then go away, only to be replaced...

Having seen the latest videos from the swift boats vets ,is there any reactions about them yet ?

Democratic presidential hopeful John Kerry thinks Fox's Bill O'Reilly is the cat's meow, and the host hopes that Kerry's admiration will translate into a pre-election appearance on the top rated O'Reilly Factor. "I like Bill O'Reilly," the Democratic presidential candidate told TV Guide. "I think he does a terrific job. I think he's got a very good show." He told the Associated Press that he'd "love to" appear on "The O'Reilly Factor" and would ask his schedulers about it. For his part, O'Reilly told AP he'd been trying for about two months to book Kerry while Kerry said he was...

A group of Vietnam War-era prisoners of war featured in a new documentary criticizing John F. Kerry have teamed up with Navy Swift boat veterans in the final days of the presidential campaign to condemn the Democratic nominee's military record and antiwar activities. The anti-Kerry group Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, which has spent more than $10 million trying to discredit Kerry's war record, recently changed its name to Swift Vets and POWs for Truth to bring into its fold dozens of Vietnam War-era prisoners of war opposed to Kerry's candidacy. Many of those POWs are interviewed in the documentary,...

<p>WASH TIMES 2/11 Rep. Sam Johnson, Texas Republican, who spent nearly seven years in a prisoner-of-war camp in Vietnam, said yesterday the photograph of Mr. Kerry with Miss Fonda will hurt him nevertheless. "I think it symbolizes how two-faced he is, talking about his war reputation, which is questionable on the one hand, and then coming out against our veterans who were fighting over there on the other," Mr. Johnson said. Mr. Johnson recalled that his North Vietnamese captors played recordings of Miss Fonda telling U.S. troops to give up the war. "Seeing this picture of Kerry with her at antiwar demonstrations in the United States just makes me want to throw up."</p>

I hope this is good

CSPAN will be running O'Neill on tape in a few minutes in response to interview with Douglas Brinkley. Brinkley is currently on air dismissing the idea that Swiftees harmed Kerry.

Texas oilman T. Boone Pickens is one of many donors who have helped Swift Boat Veterans for Truth raise more than $13 million now to unmask John Kerry, who with the media establishment's aid is desperately posing as some sort of moderate. The veterans "come from Oshkosh, Wis., and Orlando, Fla., San Francisco and Virginia Beach. One is on crutches. Others, former prisoners of war, walk stiffly, a result of being bound and tortured," the Washington Times reported today in an article headlined "Injured, angry, determined, Swiftees unite to fight Kerry." Steve Gardner of Clover, S.C., who spent more than...

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.

The Washington Times has a lot of the details. What the Times gets wrong, however, is the tone of the Swifties. To be sure, the Swift Vets are angry - and they have a right to be, not only because of John Kerry's action during and since the Vietnam war, but also because of the media's complete and utter smear job against them personally. What the Times missed, however, is the genuine reluctance of these men. They would all rather be doing something else, spending time with their families or enjoying their retirement. I had the great honor to meet...

Navy SEAL Examines Kerry's Military Record SEALED MILITARY RECORD? by A. L. "Steve" Nash Unlike McCain, Bush, and Gore, Kerry has adamantly refused to authorize the release of his military records. Most think it's because of his phony battle medals. I think the real reason is below. He was not granted an Honorable Discharge until March 2001, almost 30 years after his ostensible service term had ended! This is very much out of the ordinary, and highly suspect. There are 5 classes of Discharge: Honorable, General, Other Than Honorable, Bad Conduct, and Dishonorable. My guess is that he was discharged...

KERRY GRINCH You’re a flip-flop, Kerry Grinch; It’s “the wrong war and wrong time.” But you vote for the invasion While in protest you now chime, Kerry Grinch. You voted against funding and then for it, With logic sublime! You’re a waffler, Kerry Grinch; You would face Kim Jung alone And forget a coalition Yet its absence you bemoan Kerry Grinch. How can you enforce a treaty while he holds the throne? You’re a sly one, Kerry Grinch, You know you will need a Draft To fill your new two divisions Or did you just think us daft? Kerry Grinch....
