When I first brought it to his attention in September 2005, I reminded Sen. John F. Kerry that — based on the publication date on or about August 25, 2004, of Unfit for Command: Swift Boat Veterans Speak Out Against John Kerry by John E. O'Neill and Jerome R. Corsi — Sen. Kerry had already allowed the one-year statutes of limitations for defamation to expire in Texas (where Mr. O'Neill resides), New Jersey (where Dr. Corsi resides), and the District of Columbia (where their publisher Regnery Publishing, Inc. has its principal place of business and Sen. Kerry has his own regular place of business).
But as I noted then, Sen. Kerry's home state of Massachusetts has a very unusual, extremely generous and pro-plaintiff three-year limitations period for defamation claims. Massachusetts' three-year statute of limitations for defamation claims made it the very last feasible venue in which Sen. Kerry conceivably could file suit and gain his public vindication, if the SwiftVets' allegations about him were false. Those claims were certainly, indeed deliberately, injurious to his reputation; his damages arguably include the loss of the 2004 presidential election, however that might be valued in dollars and cents; and if John Kerry could hope to find a home-town advantage anywhere, surely it would be there. But now he's let the incredibly generous Massachusetts statute of limitations run out, too...

Yes, maybe didn’t want too many testifying under oath about his yet to be released Navy records.
“Discovery” is a b$tch
He’s a public figure. They’d have to prove reckless disregard of the facts, or actual malice (which does not mean you don’t like him). Fat chance!
No, I'm really series.
The whole article is a very interesting read. No lawsuit from Kerry. No lawsuit from Plame-Wilson. too bad
Despite all his bluster and b.s., Jon Cary quietly folded because he knows he cannot survive the exposures of a real legal discovery process.
btw, Jon Cary, where are those #%##$$## records?? We’re still waiting for you to sign the form and release ALL OF THEM as you’ve promised so many times to do.......
What a pathetic lump of delusional crap.
The reason Kerry kept his mouth shut this time, and REFUSED to go into court to “defend his honor - He has NO HONOR!
He knows he is a liar and knew the SBVT could PROVE IT..
Kerry lied about his Purple Hearts
Kerry lied about his Silver Start
Kerry lied about his Christmas in Cambodia
Kerry lied when he denied RUNNING FROM A FIGHT
Kerry lied when he slandered and defamed the REAL warriors in Vietnam
Kerry lied when he denied giving aid and comfort to the enemy in Paris, while still a Officer.
Kerry lied when he said he threw his medals over the fence.
Kerry lied when he said he would sign his SF180.
Kerry lied while chairman of the Senate, when he gave Communist Vietnam a “clean bill” for truthfully reporting the status of our MIA/POWs...
Kerry is a pathological liar, who has parlayed his lies into a position of trust within our government in the DEMOCRAT party...
Facts and the truth are a good defense against slander and libel claims. I’m sure that the last thing Kerry wanted to do would be to have the truth part of the public record!
Mark
He knows he better keep his mouth shut, lest he cement his legacy as a fraud....................
The Swiftboat Vets busted him, and there’s no way that even a Massachusetts jury would rule in his favor on that point.
...plus, the Swiftboat Vets would have Discovery access to all of JFK’s trips such as his liaisons with NVA in Paris.
And Kerry still hasn’t mailed in that SF-180 yet.
