Swift Vets ping...
Cool article!
best time and money I ever spent!
I think Pickens should leave that $million in a long term investment. ;-)
Doesn’t look like he’ll be having to cash out any time in this century.
I have no reason to doubt the charges made by the SwiftBoatVets. The single greatest factor for me against John Kerry as far as character was his Senate testimony in (I think it was) ‘71. He made charges without naming any individual and made it impossible for any Vietnam vet to defend himself and smeared all Vietnam vets. That alone was such a singularly dishonorable and dishonest act that he merits no consideration as a man to be taken seriously. Not to even mention his sworn obligation as a Naval officer to have made proper reports to Naval authorities had been violated.
And let’s not forget that McCain sprang to Kerry’s defense and, in his role as “war hero,” attacked the Swift Boat Vets viciously, and called them liars.
McCain played an important role in assuring that the media could write them off as liars.
John Kerry defeated John Kerry long before the 2004 Presidential race.
I rather liked it myself. :)
What you wrote is very true. I’m a Viet Vet and Kerry not only cast all of us in the same boat, he disgraced his uniform and our service. I lost many friends there, and my heart was broken by his false testimony. I knew better, as he knew too, yet he lied to the Senate and tried to lie to all of us. To hell with him and may his teeth hurt every day of his life. He ain’t nothing but scum!
Doesnt look like hell be having to cash out any time in this century.
I'm sure that Senator Kerry will soon provide devastating evidence to support his version(s) of events. Just as soon as he finishes rearranging his sock drawer.
Kerry sure got quiet after Pickens requested some actual documentation, didn't he?

Yep. And the leftists continue to quote him to this day.
I don't think he CAN do that as doing so would completely destroy what's left of him.

BTTT
You can bet that I will NEVER forget and there are many others, both here and abroad, that won't forget either!
What we still dont understand is why you Americans stopped the bombing of Hanoi. You had us on the ropes. If you had pressed us a little harder, just for another day or two, we were ready to surrender! It was the same at the battles of TET. You defeated us! We knew it, and we thought you knew it. But we were elated to notice your media w as definitely helping us. They were causing more disruption in America than we could in the battlefields. We were ready to surrender. You had won!
