To Newsweek, spell check can be your friend! Try "Swiftees".

Then why didn't he sue for libel. If the SBVFT were in fact lying, their activities easily rose above the bar set for libel of a "public figure".
Kerry couldn't sue for libel or slander because he knew that what the Swiftees were saying was the truth!

Democrats keep calling this a Republican attack against the Kerry Presidential campaign. John O'Neill has been fighting against John Kerry since 1971 and he voted for Al Gore in 2000.

kerry is finished ~ a footnote in history, but we shouldn't stop until the media has cleaned up its act! How many brothers died because of their lies then, and how many are dying because of their lies now. I wanna see how heads rolling at the MSM! I want them to start telling the truth! The full truth, not their version. Nothin' but the truth, not their lying opinions.

Exonerated? I don't feel it. Perhaps if he'd received zero electoral votes, but as it is way too many folks betrayed us again. Very vote for that POS was spittle.

Even now the talking heads begin to disguise their next chump. Gotta be from the south or Midwest and take lessons to sound like elmer gantry.

As always, thanks for the welcome home and Semper Fi, but this was just a battle, and too close for any vindication felt by me. The damage done was pretty deep.

I'm with you in smiling! I'm hugely delighted in W's win, and in the remarkable pick-ups in the legislature. I feel prophetic, as I called it, long ago. I had faith and kept fear at bay.

Happy? Ecstatic! Vindicated? Nope.

"Kerry's operatives had worried from the beginning that some right-wing group would try to use his old Vietnam antiwar speeches against him."

Some "right-wing group" huh? Many of the swiftees were registered Dems. Thanks for the condescension though, Time magazine! That's why your side lost the election, but you're too stupid to figure it out.

What's really pathetic is that even his own daughters are fooled. Attack back? He couldn't. He would have to lie even deeper, and they would have been exposed. This is not rocket science, people, just the plain and simple truth.

While I feel somewhat vindicated, I'll not feel truely at rest until Kerry no longer holds any public office.

I find it absolutely unbelievable that the LSM has the nerve to call two Medal of Honor winners liars.

The Swiftees deserve our heartfelt thanks. Let's also not forget Sean Hannity, who had them on both his radio and tv show, and gave them national exposure.

The Swift Boat ads—a first round charging that Kerry had lied to win his medals, then a second batch accusing him of betraying his mates by calling them war criminals—were misleading

Misleading???? MISLEADING !?!?!?!

Kerry said what he said. No one misled anyone about it. Kerry did go out of his way to collect purple hearts in order to run away from Vietnam. He even applied for one a second time after it was first turned down. Kerry's Silver star citation did cite him going against "a superior force" when in truth it was just one kid vs an entire Swift boat and it's dual .50 caliber machine guns. That was a lie.

This is why these people are the "Old Media". They can't stop spinning for Kerry even after the majority of the people see through their crap and defeated him.

Interesting. Their worry was that some right wing group would attempt to use the information. Apparently, Kerry had no fear the media would attampt it. Had this been a right winger, the concern would have been, "How will the media use this against us?"

Kerry refused to sign his Form 180 because he did not want the truth to be known. He can still do it if he has any
gonads!

WTH is a McCain aide doing telling the traitor's campaign to "watch out"...?

McCain will never, ever get a vote from me! I don't care if he's running against the Wicked Witch-a friend of any traitor in not worth my time.

To Liberals, the truth is an attack because it exposes their lies. This Country can never Thank the Swifties enough for their Bravery under fire.

Pray for W and Our Troops

The funny thing is, no matter how hard that article tries to make President Bush look bad, it succeeds wonderfully in protraying Kerry as the petulant, snotty liberal that he is.

MSM still refuse to accept the truth,
but the voters did!

God bless the Swifties.

Kerry himself was itching to hit back at the Swift Boat vets. He had been warned by a McCain aide two years earlier to watch out for the mudslingers on the Republican right. "They'll make it look like you fought for the Viet Cong,"

HE DID fight for the VietCong! There is contemporary VietCong paperwork found in a Texas Library that confirms that coordination was going on between the VVAW that Kerry co-founded and the VietCong.

We have more evidence the Kerry coordinated with the VietCong than we've got evidence that Saddam coordinated with AlQaeda.

I agree with you. If we can proove he was other than honerably discharged, it may force him from the senate. I cannot understand why he would want to go back. All of his supporters wouold likewise be tarred because they knew the Swiftboat Vets were telling the truth and they still covered for kerry.
