Semper Fidelis to the Swiftboat Vets for Truth who have stepped up to show that the Greatest Generation wasn't a one time deal.

Let's hope Corsi's comments here won't fog the momentum the Swiftees have earned. I support them financially and know that they have an audacious task ahead of them.

Thanks for the synopsis.

His lie about Christmas 1968 was outed, then his handlers came up with "he was in Cambodia and just mixed up his dates."
This gives him an out by saying it was a secret mission, so he can't turn over his complete records.

How about: Physical proximity to an event does not imply expert knowledge thereof. A hypothetical mentioned elsewhere: if the captain of a boat disobeys orders and causes the boat to come under fire, the men on the boat may have a very different (and less accurate) view of the Captain's actions than the man who gave the original order, particularly if they themselves didn't know about it.

An interpretation which has been offered of Kerry's Silver Star would, if accurate, illustrate this principle perfectly. A boat (not Kerry's) hits a mine; Kerry panics and hits the throttle, dumping on of his people off his boat. Some of the other boats think there's fire from shore and start shooting. Kerry, realizing there's no shooting from shore, goes back to retrieve the man who fell off his boat.

The man who fell off the boat would have heard all the shooting from the other boats and would have believed that their group was under attack. From his perception, Kerry would have been very brave to have returned to the firefight to retrieve him. It would certainly be more charitable for him to think that Kerry had acted quickly to save his boat and then acted bravely to save him, than to believe that the only reason he landed in the water in the first place was that Kerry panicked.

I don't know if that's how events actually transpired, but the guy who was in the water almost certainly doesn't either.

On Corsi, I would prefer saying that it was "satire", similar to that used by Al Franken or Michael Moore. The fact that he can write serious prose shows the versatility of his work.

Additionally, I would point out that Corsi is NOT one of the Vets. He merely helped them find their voice.

Go Swift Vets!

Christmas in Cambodia = A mistruth maintained by Kerry about his military service every single day for the last 30 years, until just today. How many more mistruths is Kerry still maintaining?

Additional talking point: Howard Dean says George W Bush is more comfortable burning books than reading them. But there are zero examples of Bush burning books, even though hundreds of anti-Bush books have been published in the past 4 years. On the other hand, the Democrats would gladly destroy every single copy of this book and pretend it never existed.

You I think the coming smear job on the Swift Boat Vets is going to hurt Kerry more then the Swift Boat Vet ads.

The American public will see and hear hundreds of vets have attacked Kerry for lying and misusing them in his ads, then they'll see and hear the likes of Mike Moore go after them, all while Kerry says publicly his service means no one can criticize him...

Additional talking point: The Kerry campaign already admits that the Swiftboat Vets were correct when they pointed out that Kerry's position on Cambodia was untenable. How many other things are the Swiftboat Vets correct about?

Additional talking point: Kerry could clear all this up by releasing his military and medical records, which he has never done.

Additional talking point: After leaving the Navy, John Kerry said he personally witnessed and committed "atrocities". Specifically which of the Swiftboat Vets did Kerry see commit these atrocities? Why is it ok for Kerry to smear his comrades in arms at a time of war, but it is not ok for them to question his actions when we are at peace?

Thank you, Shrew, for sound advice. Since much of the communications on these issues will take place below the radar of the national media, much of it will be in our hands.

Saying the Swiftboat Vets that weren't on Kerry's boat didn't know him is like saying the hands on a ranch don't know each other because they don't ride the same horse.BS!

Additional talking point: There were exactly ZERO people who came forward to say that George W Bush's service in the National Guard was anything but honorable. Yet Bush had to go through an anal exam because of baseless innuendo spread by the likes of Michael Moore.

The swiftboat vets, on the other hand are more than 200 people strong - all Vietnam Vets, all served with Kerry, something like 60 purple hearts between them. Why should their sworn testimony be ignored when Michael Moore's baseless and discredited charges were investigated completely?

"They have every much a right to speak about their experience in Vietnam "

HEY DNC operatives. I know you guys read us. Screw YOU. Ive made sure *everyone* I know has heard what the Swift Vets have to say. That Cambodia stuff shows Kerry is un-electable. This is just getting started. Your failing to snuff it. You can try your little stunts to misdirect the public. It wont work. Go ahead, underestimate us. Its a brave new world now.
