If I got a letter and I owned the TV station, my response would be flat out F**K YOU. The first amendment is sacred and truth is a defense.

I'd fight this in court all the way and keep this in the news.

The letter to the stations reiterates that none of the men in the commerical were crew mates on either of the two boats Kerry commanded.

That has as much clout as saying someone who served in the same company as Kerry but wasn't in his Humvee is unqualified to comment on Kerry's fitness as a soldier, had he been in the Army.

Nonsense. The RATS ain't gonna impeach anybody. They will not control the House or the Senate.

Let them take up their seedy impeachment articles... going nowhere.

Don't forget who you are dealing with these two are above the law. In addition to that lawyers basically have no respect for the law unless it's in their favor. They will literally do anything they want--you tell me who will stop them.

The story is starting to get out now. I just heard it on the ABC news at the top of the hour!

That's great. I didn't expect it.

I just heard it again at the top of this hour on ABC news and now the story has grown! First hour they mentioned it for about 15 secs, this hour they expanded the story to 30-45 secs!

It's starting to grow like a cancer on JFin'K's rearend!

Wouldn't be the first call for impeachement. Several congress critters (combined with activists at "non-advocacy" Pacifica Radio) were calling for the impeachement of President Bush over the ousting of Aristid.

Yes, they are going to be in the dumps after this election. Can't say it is a sure thing but Kerry's chances still don't look that good (if he wins, it will be because of knock and drag efforts).

Someone needs to photoshop it. Add "Not Fit to be" in front of President and "Raw" in place of "Real".

When you get in, you can 'save target as' in IE and have the video saved to your hard drive to send as attachments to friends.

Or, just link to the video....though go to the Human Events one so it won't go down. Swiftvets does not have high bandwidth.

So here's the questions I'd like to have presented to Mr. Kerry -

1) During the entire Vietnam War, how many Swiftboat crew members received Purple Hearts?

2) During the entire Vietnam War, how many Swiftboat crew members received three (3) or more Purple Hearts?

3) During the entire Vietnam War, how many Swiftboat crew members received three (3) or more Purple Hearts within their first 4 months of duty in Vietnam?

4) During the entire Vietnam War, how many Swiftboat crew members received three (3) or more Purple Hearts within their first 4 months of duty in Vietnam - and NEVER MISSED A SINGLE DAY OF DUTY BECAUSE OF INJURIES?

5) Mr. Kerry, do you feel special?

Fine, but what are they saying on the radio... what part is "news"?

Hannity talking to the men now, including webmaster for the website--it is under 'denial of service' attack now.
