Anyone ever notice that All of the Lefts war heros of the past 20 years are complete jerks?

They havent had an authentic hero since JFK

"Jerk" fits Kerry, but combat veterans are rarer in politics than they were in Kennedy's day.

There aren't many McCains in Congress.

I'm grateful to anybody who served, whatever party they're in.

"Swift Boats is his choice."

Being the moron that he is, it stands to reason that he'd try to fight a battle 4 years too late.

That strikes me as bad reporting.

It's the "paper of record." Sometimes they have really good stories. Sometimes they smell to High Heaven. This is the latter.

How about you?

John F'n Kerry is running scared. Poll shows Kerry vulnerable, but is that good news for O'Reilly?

Thank you for your essays. Pound on Heath for his party's energy policies. Good luck!

Most conservative in my neighborhood - diverted ALL their political contributions to the SBVFT and away from the GOP.

All mine went to the SBVFT also. The Grand Old Pussies will have to do something to deserve a donation if they ever want money from me again.

even though the Swifts officially stood down in May, the forum remains open

This is apparently about the Silver Star (beach the boat) incident

posted on this thread:
http://www.swiftvets.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=176462

Globe Op-ed: “T. Boone, show us the money”

“”The 15-page letter and 42 pages of Navy reports and other documentation focus principally on a 1969 engagement in which three boats under Kerry’s supervision counterattacked after an ambush on a tributary of the Bay Hap River.

Kerry won a Silver Star for his actions.......””

Today, a single button on a computer can propel a lie worldwide. Unchallenged accusations can quickly be accepted as fact because information passed from friend to friend carries an imprimatur of truth.That makes a distortion politically damaging even if it is blatantly untrue. Remember the Swift Boat allegations against Sen. John Kerry four years ago...

No actually, they were all true. The liberal MSM tried to ignore the Swift Vets and assured Kerry they would not report on it. In their arrogance to continue the Kerry lies, they thought they could control information and were wrong.

Only a complete and total idiot or a schemer could rack up three ‘wounds’ in a 4-month period. That, coupled with this cretin’s filmed re-enactments of his ‘engagements’ would likely lead one to believe the latter. I believe, that he doesn’t have a clean SF 180 that is dated at the time of his first release because he was separated under ‘other than honorable conditions’. His SF180, if he ever releases it will be dated around the time of Jimmy Carter’s blanket amnesty, about the same time when Kerry’s Honorable discharge is dated.......my guess is we’ll never see any of this.

To me, “Swift Boating” means “shining the light of truth on lying politicians”.

I don't appreciate your terse reply suggesting that I am lying about Mr. McCain's support of John Kerry in reference to the Swift Boat Vets for Truth ads against the traitor Kerry.

Read Here!

And Read Here!

And here!

And Here!

There are plenty more sources.

I don't mind that you support John McCain. That is your right and privilege.

I do mind, however, that you impugned my integrity by responding BS to my mentioning the fact that McCain went strongly to the defense of Kerry and blasted the Swift Boat Vets for Truth.

I don't expect an apology, but suggest you get your facts straight before accusing me of lying again!

Is that your entire library?

Take care son. This Sixty something veteran isn't real stable, especially concerning all things Viet Nam!

So McCain defended not attacking Vets.

Big deal. That doesn’t make him on Kerrys side.

Who ya gonna vote for? Obama?
Gonna sit this one out?
There is plenty to be critical of with McCain but lets not help the other team.
