Swift Boat Ad Working Joshua Micah Marshall reluctantly reports: Perhaps the most astonishing demonstration of the Swift Boat ad’s effectiveness, however, is the proportion of potential Kerry voters whose opinions shifted after having watched the ad. Independents intending to vote for Kerry felt considerably less sure of their choice after watching the Swift Boat ad. Before the ad, 41.94% of Independents intending to vote for Kerry felt that they would “definitely” vote for him; 37.10% felt “most likely” to vote for him; 20.97% were “leaning” towards him; and none were “not sure.” These levels of commitment changed markedly after viewing...

John Kerry's presidential campaign claimed on Tuesday that his Christmas 1968 mission into Cambodia was top, top secret - and that's why there are no documents that verify the implausible claim. "During John Kerry's service in Vietnam, many times he was on or near the Cambodian border and on one occasion crossed into Cambodia at the request of members of a special operations group operating out of Ha Tien," Kerry spokesman Michael Meehan said in a statement. But Meehan told the Boston Globe that there was no paperwork to confirm the claim and he could not supply a date...

THIS WILL BE SEEN AS BIAS Last night Brit Hume interviewed John O'Neill, the author of Unfit For Command, the book featuring the thoughts of the Swift Boat veterans who aren't all that fond of John Kerry. Brit Hume asked him about his motivations for writing the book. Hume also made reference to highly favorable comments about Kerry in the official Navy record. He asked O'Neill why America should not believe what is in the official records. Then Hume mentioned that a book praising Kerry's military service, Tour of Duty, was released to considerable acclaim. In other words, Hume went...

Old Crimson Interview Reveals A More Radical John Kerry The Crimson reported Kerry called for U.N. control of troops in 1970. Ten months after returning home from Vietnam, a young John Kerry strolled into the offices of The Harvard Crimson on Feb. 13, 1970 as an obscure underdog in the Democratic Congressional primary. The decorated veteran, honorably discharged after a tour of duty in the Mekong Delta, spoke in fierce terms during his daylong interview with The Crimson’s Samuel Z. Goldhaber ’72. But almost 34 years later, Kerry’s remarks on American military and intelligence operations vastly diverge from opinions expressed...

Positive reviews of Unfit for Command deleted from amazon.com

Kerry vs. Kerry the 2 faced Candidate If theirs one thing Americans can agree on about John Kerry it’s that he has the ability to take both sides on any issue. The type of man that will say anything that he thinks the people he is speaking to at the time want to hear. After hearing about a book called “Unfit for Command” by John E. O’ Neill it perked my interest. John Kerry after the Vietnam war claimed that his fellow soldiers and himself were war criminals and that wide spread atrocities were committed and that knowledge of these...

What's going on with the customers' reviews for the book "Unfit for Command"?

E-mail to Candidate Kerry #13 From: James (Cooter) Thompson re: Testimony Dear Senator Kerry: Where you been this past week, Senator Kerry? None of us guys down to Daryl's Bait Shop have seen hide nor hair of you. We are bound in good conscience to tell you it ain't doing your campaign one damn bit of good. It's like this. We are reasonable people, in the main. We have some experience of this world. When we sit on juries, we expect a defendant to testify in his own defense. Yes, the lawyers and the judge can caution us that the...

This morning about 6:30 am, I requested and was granted permission from Selwyn Duke to post this article in its entirity on FreeRepublic and Swift Boat Vets site. (His email - "Thank you for the kind words. Yes, you definitely may post it on those sites.

A number of the combat commanders, fellow officers and other men who served with Sen. John Kerry in Vietnam have challenged his accounts of combat heroism in a new book, "Unfit for Command" (Regnery Publishing), by John E. O´Neill, who took over command of Swift Boat PCF 94 from Lt. Kerry, and Jerome R. Corsi, a political scientist who has written extensively about the Vietnam War protest movement. Each of these excerpts from "Unfit for Command" includes comparisons of Mr. Kerry´s earlier published accounts to recollections of others who served with him. First of three excerpts Kerry, now the four-term...

— An intense dislike of U.S. Sen. John Kerry was an almost visible emotion that swept through the Aqua Turf Club Tuesday night at a benefit dinner sponsored by the Vietnam Veterans for the Truth. About 100 guests paid $150 to attend the prime rib dinner and hear a number of speakers call Kerry a dishonest politician who had lied about his medals and war record and had falsely accused American soldiers of atrocities to help launch his political career. Before the dinner began, Jerome R. Corsi signed a number of copies of the book "Unfit For Command" that he...

I wonder why Amazon did this. http://www.swiftvets.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=2985

Amazon.com has pulled all the reviews (good and bad) for Unfit for Command! Just went to read today's batch of DU/DNC tripe and sure enough -- they are ALL GONE.

A document from the FBI files covering the Vietnam Veterans Against the War (VVAW) and John Kerry, dated November 16,1971 (FBI file record number ID; 100-448092-483), indicates that local supporters of the VVAW became dissatisfied with the VVAW. As a result of Mr. Kerry’s speech in Gaston Hall at George Washington University, the head office of the VVAW in New York withdrew support for the Washington DC office and for John Kerry. The following is a verbatim transcript of the FBI document:

WHY NO INVESTIGATION? Those who have read the entire book "Unfit for Command" say that it the charges that John Kerry trumped up his war record are rather meticulously documented. Let's take that rescue of Jim Rassman, for instance. Kerry's story is that a mine blew up very close to his boat. Rassman was thrown in the water. There was withering fire from both banks of the river. As the boats in Kerry's group fled down the river Kerry noticed Rassman in the river. He turned around and went back to rescue him. That's Kerry's story. Now for the events...

John O'Neill is on MSNBC now on Scarborough Country discussing "Unfit For Command"

Hidden Agenda The truth behind John Kerry`s record on your firearms rights. by Wayne LaPierre If you thought the eight long years of the Clinton/Gore administration`s war on firearms owners` rights were oppressive, they would pale in comparison to what John Kerry would have in store for us if he captures the White House and evicts President George W. Bush in November. John Kerry--whose record of words and misdeeds on firearms rights has earned him a key place among the most solid "F" candidates ever rated by the National Rifle Association--is now posing as a self-styled"lifelong hunter and gun owner,"...
