It'd be great if we could get the Swifties to hire temps in every Massachusetts city Kerry speaks in to yell "SIGN THE 180!" at him. Keep the issue on the table for the next election and all.
I was thinking the same thing. The truth must come out about his discharge.
How long has he to go on his senate term?
I believe they should keep after Kerry since I believe he is a traitor and shouldn't be in the Senate.
Without the Swiftboat Veterans and others Kerry might be President today.
I also think his military record should be exposed to the Sunlight and we should know about his Real Discharge papers and what they show.
Kerry is a Fraud.
John O'Neill and Co. are the Heroes of this election.
Thank You Mr. O'Neill
While it was a "useful tool" in helping to deny Kerry the presidency, I've never felt that it was only part of the Swift Boat Vets' intended purpose, and I greatly admire them for that. These are men of principle who were wronged and their cause wouldn't have received the degree of attention that it did, had it not come to light during a presidential campaign.
Remarkably, the scant attentiong paid them by the MSM was overwhelmingly negative, with the token appearances by John O'Neil (a true hero) on "old media" outlets being designed to try to discredit them. Failing that, they often resorted to trying to shout him down to suppress his voice. The behavior of Lawrence O'Donnel, Lanny Davis and Corporal Cueball, notwithstanding, Mr. O'Neil kept his composure and tenaciously stuck to his facts, vividly illustrating who the adult was.
It goes far beyond the race, and I wish the Swifiies the best of luck in pursuing the truth. America can handle the truth and it's about time that the other side of Kerry's story was told. The fact that he came so close to the presidency is an indication that there is something very wrong in modern "journalism."
Great job, Swifties. You are true American heroes. You were wronged by effin' Kerry and his fellow commie symp leftists thirty years ago, and you held him personally to account. But you have been wronged once again...by the media this time.
America did you right, but the media did you wrong. Take up the good fight now...hammer the media for their bias. Not covering Kerry's OTH discharge. The way John O'Neill was so wrongly treated by the likes of O'Donnell. The media blackout of your best selling book. The million other slights.
You know better than anyone that freedom isn't free, and we thank you paying for the price time and time again. If you are weary and want to lay down the burden to the next generation, I understand...you have already done more than your fair share. But if you keep up the good fight, may God continue to bless you. I have to stop now, with tears of thanks streaming down my face for you heroes. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Not only that, but every self-glorifying lie that comes out of his mouth now is going to be noted, researched and exposed. Can he stop the narcissistic lying and self-glorification? If he couldn't during the campaign, he sure won't be able to now.
Watch for more of the same to come from Senator Kerry in the future. And he is not going to have such a protective media around him now that his usefulness is limited.
Yea...those lawsuits were indicative of that "welcoming" attitude for abuse.
I hope they dog him until the truth comes out!!! ThankYouSwifties.com Go tell 'em how you feel!
The left never gives up, never stops. Time to show them Republicans can do the same.
Hopefully cooler heads will prevail. There is nothing to be gained and a lot to lose.
"Kerry campaign senior strategist Tad Devine has admitted the senator's low point was not answering the swiftboat ads right away. "
Maybe he is ready to start now! ha ha
He should be removed from any meaningful committee assignments.
Hey Kerry ... SIGN THE 180 FORM
I'm so grateful to the SwiftVets, and I doubt that things would have been different had Kerry answered their charges earlier.
I hadn't given much thought to John Kerry's background. I didn't remember much about the Senate hearings or his anti-war actvities. I guess I wasn't paying much attention at the time. I only knew that he was a decorated Vietnam war hero. That's something that most people probably knew. Now we know a lot more about him, and it doesn't jibe with the official Kerry bio. In the end, he lost a lot more than the presidency.
I think the struggle must go on, to reveal not only the extent of communist influence on Kerry's antiwar activity; the corruption involved in his postwar coddling of communist Viet Nam, Cuba, & Nicaragua; and the involvement of others, including the many former "antiwar" creeps who are still in control of the Demonrat party and will be key figures in any future Demonrat campaigns & administrations.
SkyPilot, you got it exactly right. Even now the Kerryites and the MSM (or am I being redundant) are trying to spin this. The ONLY reason why Kerry didn't respond is that he knows the Swiftees were telling the truth, and he figured the MSM would cover for him.
Kerry STILL hasn't been asked by the MSM if he was ever in Cambodia. I challenge ANYONE to come up with video footage of Kerry answering the Cambodia charges after the Swiftees raised the issue.
I think Kerry needs some wood.
It will take two years for the story to get MSM traction. They need to keep going.
Kerry had a less than honorable discharge and his medals revoked. He has 'nuanced' his way around the truth. You will notice that no one on the Left denies the General Discharge, they just keep stating that he has an Honorable. Lawyer-speak to stay in that grey area.
The triumph of moral relativism. We used to call telling a half-truth, a lie.
In any case, the libs will feel sorry for him, that he stood his ground as a traitor and paid the price...boo hoo! He can become another victim.
In two years there won't be a MSM -- But they may just take up the defense if you pile on. Piling on is never good. There is nothing productive to be gained until Kerry runs again.
Have a parade, welcome the Vietnam vets home. Celebrate the victory. Consolidate the gains -- wait.
I'll contribute to that.
