Once again, the caller was John Kerry. Kerry had clinched the Democratic nomination, and he knew that Hoffmann was organizing Swiftees to bring out the truth about him, his exaggerated military record and his antiwar lies that had slandered his fellow veterans. Kerry made the admiral an offer: If you will back off and drop your efforts, I will ensure that my biography, “Tour of Duty”, which I know is unfair to you, will be changed to make it accurate in a revised edition. Here is my secretary’s number – you can get me anytime.

Wow.

I've re read this paragraph a half dozen times, and it still shocks me. No wonder the swifties are coming out of the woodwork to oppose Kerry. If someone did this to me, I'd bear every ounce of mainstream media backlash just to get the truth out.

And it's apparently hundreds of them, too. I've been in the military almost ten years, and I can think of only a tiny handful of people that, were they ever to run for President, I'd actually say anything negative to the media about. It would be for those choice few, the real vermin that you'd be negligent to not warn people about. In each of those cases, I'd bet a months pay that there would be hundreds of people like me willing to show up as well.

In most cases, I'd say it's appropriate to keep your mouth shut and respect the rank, so to speak, unless they're completely over the top. Senator Kerry appears to be deep in 'vermin' territory, and I wish the swiftees luck in bringing his actions to the light.

I did 3 years and 10 months (two month "early out"). I only knew one guy I'd rate "as verminous as Kerry." Were he to run for anything significant, I'd be there...

That's exactly how I feel. I'm stunned. This is just blatant BRIBERY to add to his war crimes, treason, etc.

What I don't understand is why Kerry would take such a chance by making such a statement JUST 5 MONTHS AGO. Kerry is a pompous ass .. and he thinks he can do or say anything and get away with it.

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT CLINTON DID. HE FLAUNTED THE LAW AND THE MEDIA COVERED IT UP. And the Carville's and Lanny Davis' acted the same way about everything that was said about Clinton.

America will never stand still for another Liar in Chief in the White House .. NEVER!!
