How many times can you call someone a liar without ending up in court, where records can be subpoenaed? You can call a politician a liar without much worry, it comes with the territory, but calling private citizens liars is grounds for a defamation lawsuit.
This is why john kerry will never sue the Swiftboat Vets. All his records would have to be made available to the defense, and his career would be ended in disgrace. No, the coward kerry will attempt to try this in the friendly press.
I can't imagine that all those officers who worked in and around Kerry's unit would all be liars. The odds of that happening are in the outer limits of numbers. Yes, there were some contradictions but Kerry himself solicited favorable responses from some as a setup before his announced running for President. Just as he manufactured his battles, his wounds, his after action reports (his buddies conveniently didn't see them at the time)his medals, his journals and almost every other aspect of his life, he craftfully got endorsements from some who didn't think a good word would matter until they found out he was running.
This Kerry guy is as phony and plastic as one can be. Even his discharges (suspiciously several under different administrations) is suspicous. His medals and request for replacements is suspicous. His trip to Paris while an officer is suspicious. His FBI record which is not released is suspicious. He was at the meeting discussing killing U.S. Senators but without the complete FBI record we're at a stall. His whole life is suspicious and this jerk wants to be commander in chief? Give me a break.
John O'Neill has never backed down from a challenge to Kerry to sue him, as his supporters encouraged him in August of 2004.
It used to be grounds for a duel or a gunfight.
