WASHINGTON (Talon News) -- The Kerry campaign filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission Friday asking that ads being broadcast by the 527 group "Swift Boat Veterans for Truth" be taken off the air. The Democrats allege that the Bush campaign is behind the political spots that question the version of events for which John Kerry received his medals during the four months he served in Vietnam. Coordination between independent "soft money" groups and political campaigns is illegal. The ads have had a significant effect on Kerry's poll numbers among veterans. The Massachusetts Democrat has suffered a double-digit plunge...

What John Kerry is expecting those on active duty to believe ============================================ My son-in-law is one of those who would have to salute John Kerry as his commander in chief. We are praying that doesn't happen. What is John Kerry expecting those on active duty to believe? He wants them to believe that if a strategic ally is invaded and that it is in our national interest, he will actually do something about it. Please, guys, forget about my vote against removing Saddam Hussein from Kuwait. He wants them to believe he will adequately fund them. Please, guys, forget about...

WASHINGTON -- The co-author of the best-selling book "Unfit for Command" says today's statement by a Chicago Tribune editor and former swift boat commander does not substantively contradict his findings about John Kerry's Silver Star. William Rood, 61, said he decided to break his silence today about the Feb. 28, 1969, mission because recent reports of Kerry's actions in that battle are incorrect and darken the reputations of veterans who served with Kerry, according to a report in the Chicago Tribune.

In his first interview for the British press, the Vietnam veteran leading the attack on John Kerry tells Charles Laurence why he must actThe Vietnam veteran at the heart of an increasingly vicious campaign to discredit John Kerry's "war hero" status has vowed to do "whatever it takes to stop that man becoming commander-in-chief of America's armed forces". In an outspoken interview with the Telegraph, John O'Neill, speaking in his publisher's office in the shadow of Capitol Hill, denied being a Republican stooge, saying that his campaign to prevent Mr Kerry reaching the White House was driven by personal loathing...

Interesting email exchange from a good friend. He is having trouble getting Unfit for Command from Barnes and Noble. My email: “It is very disturbing that the Kerry people (and Kerry himself) are suing to silence dissenting political speech. . .the very speech the First Amendment was designed to protect. ("This is how Kerry reacts under the pressure of attack -- by trying to take away his opponents' freedom.") Clearly, Kerry thinks only speech that supports him is to be free and speech that is critical of him is not. Imagine the hoopla if Bush jokingly suggested shutting down Moore's...

The commander of a Navy swift boat who served alongside Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry during the Vietnam War stepped forward Saturday to dispute attacks challenging Kerry's integrity and war record. William Rood, an editor on the Chicago Tribune's metropolitan desk, said he broke 35 years of silence about the Feb. 28, 1969, mission that resulted in Kerry's receiving a Silver Star because recent portrayals of Kerry's actions published in the best-selling book "Unfit for Command" are wrong and smear the reputations of veterans who served with Kerry. ...

As the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth previewed another ad to air next week, a survey released yesterday said their first controversial attack on John F. Kerry's war record reached more than half the nation with the help of a media buzz created by talk radio and cable news. The first spot, which began airing Aug. 5 and ran only in West Virginia, Ohio, and Wisconsin, triggered a counterattack on several fronts this week. On Thursday, Kerry accused the veterans of doing President Bush's campaign's "dirty work." A front-page story in yesterday's New York Times raised questions about the credibility...

This afternoon at about 6:30, John O'Neill was interviewed by local guy Dom Giordano (1210AM - Philadelphia) and he was OUTSTANDING! The Swift Boat Vets are NOT backing down one iota. John thoroughly debunked the Washington Post (and other) hit pieces with stone cold facts. He also pointed out the various lies that Kerry has been caught in and which were even ACKNOWLEDGED by the Washington Post. John also took some calls and was praised by everyone, including a couple of Vietnam vets who called into the show. One caller, a Vietnam vet, said that he had injured himself in...

He just said that the Kerrorists have gone straight from Fahrenheit 9/11 to Fahrenheit 451!

There are approximately 30 copies of Unfit For Command at the 86th St Barnes and Noble in Manhattan. Someone had reported on the Midtown store, so I thought I would let you know about this Barnes and Noble. Note that they charged me full price, since it must not be on an official best seller list yet.
