VIDEO.

[Brian Craig, co-host of the Steve Kane Radio Show (WWNN 1470 AM Radio), describes starting at about the 18:30 mark how he was the one who originally CREATED the TV commercial many credited for defeating John F. Kerry in 2004...The SwiftVets commercial. Many others have taken credit for creating that commercial but the HISTORICAL TRUTH is that Brian Craig was the creator as he explains here.]

Yeah, I know certain Freepers get really angry whenever I post about who really created the Swift Boat commercial that defeated John F. Kerry but I again am setting the historical record straight. This time the TRUTH of how that commercial was created is recounted by the creator himself...Brian Craig.

This is from his radio show of today...January 25.

Many Dems still get spitting mad about that ad, and the Swiftboat Vets for Truth.

Dems don’t like the truth.

One thing I remember and I don’t know if it was in the ad or the coverage about it was Kerry’s commander Adrian Lonesdale. Do you remember him?

If Kerry is idiotic enough to run in 2020 I hope he’s Swift Boated again as before.

I knew people who served with Kerry. I first heard of him in the wardroom of a ship of the line. The criticisms were consistent and had the ring of truth.

.....”If Kerry is idiotic enough to run in 2020”......

He is ‘THAT’ idiotic...got no choice ...he signed up on the wrong side long ago. He does what he’s told to do.

I want his complete SF-180.

This clown has been a traitor from way back, even personally talking with North Vietnamese in 1971 for the Paris Peace talks.

We were only warming up in 2004.

Let him try to run in 2020, he’ll see what real swiftboating is all about.

How does a guy that is busted form O-3 to E-1 from court martial get to run for President or Sec. State when he should be in Leavenworth. The “swiftboat commercial” was just a tease at the truth but did not go far enough. Kerry I am not a baby killer nor a war criminal. My company built up the country now tear it down like you did...

as a side note....
Sinclair Broadcasting owns more media outlets.
They can get a broader audience for the documentary “Stolen Honor” this time around.

Your claim that the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth based their TV commercial on this radio interview is completely false, just as it was when you posted it ten years ago.

Repeating your false story and claiming that it "sets the record straight" is an insult to the Swift Vets and what they accomplished.

Readers are advised to review the evidence I provided in the earlier thread.

I have no doubt I will have to do this again in January of 2028.

Ping to P.J.’s Swift Boat radio ad fantasy, which he has decided to drag out one more time....

NOT FALSE because it is the TRUTH. John Edwards made his statement here at Ft. Lauderdale airport. It was a local story that Brian Craig picked up on and then created the ORIGINAL Swiftvets commercial prototype. I heard it myself BEFORE the commercial appeared on TV. BTW, the Steve Kane radio show is broadcast on iHeart Radio from 6 AM to 9 AM weekdays so if you feel this strongly about it, then just call up Brian Craig himself about this.

I talked to Brian Craig ten years ago during the process of checking out and ultimately disproving your story. If you actually cared about the truth, you would not continue to repeat this false claim.

Again, anyone interested in the facts should read the details I provided in the 2008 thread.

I now return you to P.J.'s deeply-held fantasy, which he will no doubt continue to yammer about at considerable length.

So I guess you WON'T be calling him about this. Did you even watch the video I posted? ANYBODY who wants to challenge Brian Craig can always call him on the air.
