    'John Kerry will never call us terrorists and war criminals again," crowed John O'Neill, the Vietnam war Swift Boat captain who led the fiercest attack of the campaign against the Democratic candidate. With his brothers-in-arms from the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, Mr O'Neill was celebrating President George W Bush's victory with fervour. For the Swift Boat captains and crew who fought to destroy Sen Kerry's credibility as a Vietnam war hero, it was a victorious end to a vendetta that began more than 30 years ago. "I will leave it to the professionals to decide whether we played a...
  • GOP 527s finished campaign strong (Dems outspent GOP 3-1)

    Houston Chronicle ^ | November 6, 2004 | John Frank
    WASHINGTON - Though unregulated money primarily fueled liberal causes during the first half of the presidential campaign, 527 groups supporting Republicans outspent those backing Democrats 3-to-1 in the final three weeks, campaign-watchdog groups said. In the decisive weeks of a neck-and-neck race, 527 organizations funded in part by wealthy Texans unleashed a nearly $30 million television ad blitz against Sen. John Kerry while Democrat-friendly groups spent $10.3 million in attack ads on President Bush during the same period, according to the nonpartisan Center for Public Integrity. Though GOP analysts suggested the ad push in key swing states such as Ohio...
  • At the End, Pro-GOP '527s' Outspent Their Counterparts (Swift Vets, Ashley, Wolf ads most effective)

    Wash Post ^ | 11/6/04 | Jeffrey H. Birnbaum and Thomas B. Edsall
    In the final three weeks of the campaign, independent "527" groups backing President Bush bought nearly $30 million worth of television and radio ads, three times what their Democratic counterparts spent, according to a study by the Center for Public Integrity. This was a reversal of the pattern during the spring and summer months when such pro-Democratic 527s as the Media Fund, MoveOn.org and organized labor spent more than $60 million, matching the Bush campaign at a time when no Republican 527 groups were on the air. "At the end, Republican 527s reversed the trend from earlier in the year...

    ... and all Vietnam Veterans. I would like to extend my thanks to all of you as well. I was born in 1970, so never appreciated the sacrifices all of you made in my name until I listened to your story, saw your commercials, purchased your book, sent money (first time for me) and listened to other Vietnam Veterans speak out. You spoke for not only yourselves, but for those brave men who never made it home. I grew up not understanding any of it because my stepdad served in the Navy in the war, and my mother was a...

    Of all the outrageous aspects of this year's presidential campaign, nothing exceeds the Old Media's overt mission to defeat President Bush. They've always been biased, but this year, they barely tried to hide it. Because of their bias, a large number of people remain in the dark about who John Kerry really is, which is alarming. I dare say that if they had not sheltered Kerry's past and his official record, if they hadn't conspired with Democrats to bring down President Bush, Kerry would be lucky to receive 40 percent of the popular vote. Why do I say that? Simply...
  • On television (Swift Vets buy $500,000 ads in MN, brings response from Dems)

    Star Tribune ^ | 11/1/04 | Matt Mckinney
    A wave of new television ads cropped up over the weekend after a Vietnam veterans group critical of Kerry's wartime service bought $500,000 of airtime in Minnesota alone for the final three days. The Swift Boat Veterans and POWs for Truth have spent $19.5 million nationwide questioning Kerry's service and his decision to speak out against the war after having fought in it. The ad buy is huge by Minnesota standards. Political campaigns typically spend no more than $250,000 for a full week's advertising. The ads brought a quick response from the Democrats, who brought in a former POW and...

    All I wanted was a little undivided Dad time with The Kid. Just an hour or two of sitting on the couch together, chilling out, and watching something harmless and mindless on the tube. For just -- oh, two hours -- I would have been really happy to not think about work, or the election, or terrorism, or the local political crapstorm currently swirling around my gun club, or anything else except sharing a few innocent laughs with my 9-year-old son. The broadcast showing of "Monsters Inc." last night looked like just the ticket. I can hear you snickering already....
  • MSNBC's Larry O'Donnell's L Word (to John O'Neill: 'disgusting, lying book...That's a lie')

    Wash Post ^ | 11/1/04 | Howard Kurtz
    When Swift Boat Veterans author John O'Neill appeared on "Scarborough Country" two weeks ago, MSNBC commentator Lawrence O'Donnell ripped into him and his "disgusting, lying book." O'Donnell, a Democrat and "West Wing" writer, repeatedly interrupted O'Neill with his literary critique: "That's a lie, John O'Neill. Keep lying. It's all you do." And: "That's a lie. It's another lie. That's a lie." And: "You lie in that book endlessly." And: "You're just lying about it." And: "You're totally afraid of the truth." Undeterred when O'Neill accused him of lying, O'Donnell kept firing: "You have no standards, John O'Neill, as an author....

I want you to ask me questions."--John Kerry, Reuters, August 3, 2004 The only 180 John Kerry hasn't accomplished in his litany of flip-flops throughout his campaign is Standard Form 180, the paperwork necessary for the complete release of his military records from the Department of Defense repository. The Kerry campaign and website continue to claim he has released all military records. In fact, they've released the few documents painting the senator in a favorable light. There are at...
