Kerry Urges Democrats to Fight Back (AP trashes Swiftboat Vets for Truth)
AP ^ | 9.22.06 | Will Lester

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Swift Boat Veterans for Truth group was Sen. John Kerry's albatross in 2004. Now, the Democrat is warning his party about suffering the same fate in a fundraising letter.

In 2004, the Swift Boat group, backed by Texas businessman Bob Perry, made unsubstantiated allegations about Kerry's Vietnam War heroism. The presidential nominee's slow and uncertain response is blamed for helping doom his White House bid.

When you have better than 10 to 1 agreement among the vets who where there with Kerry in Vietnam, how is it that their "allegations" remain "unsubstantiated"?

And, how is it that John F. Kerry by his own admission in sworn testimony before Congress has not been charged and prosecuted for "War Crimes" in Vietnam?

Why is Kerry asking others to fight back when he is unwilling to do so himself? If Kerry is telling the truth, then his military records would confirm it. Releasing these records would prove unequivocably that the SwiftBoat Vets are liars. I would suggest to Kerry that he release these records without further delay so that his good name would be cleared.

Go get 'em, Senator Kerry. Release those records and prove to everyone that you were telling the truth all along.

..remember folks, as any Veteran will tell you...when contacting the Veteran Administration for past records, all released records MUST have a "raised stamped" seal indicating that the said records are coming from them as proof.... asking for records,doesn't guarantee authenticity

I so liked your description of a typical Kerry firefight that I am forwarding it to all my Liberal friends.

He's not a dumb shit at all. A cunning shit, a manipulative shit, a Commie shit, but not a dumb shit.

Unsubstantiated allegations? Last I knew there were close to 100 veterans who came forward and signed their names to the those allegations.

What is lacking is not Swiftboat Vet for Truth credibility but an adequate response from John Kerry to squash the allegations if they are indeed untrue.

Which he can't and won't give for obvious reasons.

The more Kerry complains about the SBVT, the worse HE looks...because it reminds Americans of his advice to cut and run from Vietnam....and how he wants to replicate that now...

I am so glad that the Swifties are getting "riled up" again...it seems that all they have to do is growl a little and Kerry starts crying like a baby....LOL

How could I have forgotten that? I thought he changed it to the 4th of July because he remembered the parades and fireworks?

The Swiftboat Veterans are stepping up to serve their country, once again. Kerry OTOH, was and remains a snotty coward.

Nothing surprises me about the MSM

The MSM liars maintained for weeks that the forged documents regarding President Bush's Air National Guard service were accurate. They went to extreme lengths to try to prove that his ANG detachment could have had a typrwriter that could have had the Helvetica font that somehow exactly matched MS Word's Helvetica font that came into existence twenty years after the dates printed on the forged documents.

Regardless how much Kerry and the Dems fight back, it will make them look even worse in the eye's of Americans picking on American vets, or ( Big guy picking on the little guy ).... the Dems have no intelligence, no brains at all, no matter what they say anymore, they look bad.

He's the perfect leader for the Rats. He lies about himself and about his opponents, he's a coward, sponges off of someone else's money, thinks way to much of himself, He may be getting his excuwses together ("those mean SBVFT people told bad lies about me") because he's afraid to face off with the Beast.

>>>If Kerry doesn't STFU, those REALLY bad boys from the SBVFT will come off their hammocks and kick his lying traitorous bimbo ass. <<<

All the Swifties have to do is give the word and I'll get off my hammock and limber up my pen and checkbook again.

Best political money I ever spent was for the Swifties in 2003/04 - and I'd happily do it again!!

You might add:

Threaten to annihilate someone. When they respond that they'll defend themselves, ask your gang to do the fighting.

Pure John.

I really don't recall any unsubstantiated allegations by the Swiftees...

Of course, if sKerry would simply SIGN THE 180 and release ALL HIS MILITARY RECORDS to the press, without any "scrubbing", I'm willing to be persuaded otherwise.

So far, none of the criticism of sKerry by the Swiftees has been clearly contradicted by clear, unaltered, official records.
