Democrats are not “friends” of America either and yet we don’t take them off the voter rolls.

John Kerry hasn’t even released his military documents yet. He was hardly destroyed.

Not to be outdone, O'Neill's Swift Boat cohort, Jerome Corsi, has his own new Obama attack book out called "The Obama Nation: Leftist Politics and the Cult of Personality."

I love the way Obama nation sounds exactly like abomination.

The Right, being composed more of practical business and working people, tends toward logic and practicality. The Left, being idle dreamers, are powered and directed by baseless emotion. The Conservative, seeing the truth of a situation, works with things as they are or can be. The left, feeling godlike, rains down curses and anathemas on those who do not share impractical and destructive Leftist dreams.

Liberals believe that Humanity is God and the Left is God's Brain. The God of the Left is a bit spastic, however, because sơmetimes the limbs do not do as ordered and the God of the Left cuts off and crushes His fingers and toes in exasperation and rage.

Nobody flushed a Koran down a commode unless the device had a much larger than normal drain or the Koran was a miniature.If the commodes in Gitmo are so huge maybe some of the guests there should follow that koran.

Yay on the Swift Boaters -they lend some spark to any event!

Don't fall for the lie. The SBVFT is not going after Obama.

John O'Neill sent out an email publicizing Corsi's new book. That's it. Big deal, they were co-authors on Unfit For Command.

The SBVFT is not involved in any efforts against Obama.

In fact, one Democratic lobbyist who found the email in his inbox over the weekend was so furious

How big a freaking loser do you have to be to get infuriated when you receive an unsolicited email?

I would have to get infuriated approximately 2,278 times a day.

Actually, that would still probably be a low figure for a liberal.

Name any other SBVFT member (other than the two co-authors of Unfit For Command) mentioned in any published story? There aren't any.

Find a copy of any press release put out by the SBVFT since the Kerry campaign. There aren't any.

If the Swifties were out after Obama, they'd go after him just like they did Kerry -- with press releases and official SBVFT TV appearances and commercials. That's not happening and I don't expect that it will.

True to their word, the Swifties were only interested in keeping Kerry out of the White House.

Corsi was on fox and friends opposite Bob Beckel.

Beckel is usually laid back and folksy but with Corsi he came loaded for bear. His attacks were off point, He couldnot refute the book, merely go after the author with atomic vitriol.

Translation...... extreme palpitating fear. Beckel was deathly scared.

Here’s the email. It clearly is marked as a personal note from John O’Neill, not from the Swift Boat Veterans.

(I was hoping that the email was announcing an “Obama Lied” rally in D.C., but... )

A Personal Note from John O’Neill
(and Human Events’ sister company, Regnery Publishing)

Dear Friend,

As you may recall, I was privileged to play a role in helping prevent John Kerry from being elected president when my fellow Swift Boat Veterans and I released the book Unfit for Command. As liberal as Kerry was, America faces an even more liberal threat today: Barack Obama. Fortunately, investigative journalist and National Review Online political reporter David Freddoso has written the book every voter needs to read: The Case Against Barack Obama: The Unlikely Rise and Unexamined Agenda of the Media’s Favorite Candidate.

Uncovering stories the mainstream media has neglected, Freddoso reveals Obama for who he really is: the U.S. senator with the #1 most liberal voting record in the Senate. And a politician whose rhetoric of “change” does not match the reality of his corrupt, “Chicago-machine politics” background.

Moving past Obama’s inspiring speeches and say-anything-to-win campaign tactics, Freddoso outlines Obama’s extreme, far-left legislative record and his questionable associations with both criminals and radicals. From Obama’s repeated support for the Chicago patronage system, to his hard-line position of no restrictions on abortion, The Case Against Barack Obama offers the cold, hard facts about this man who would be our next president.

As American citizens, it is our right and duty to question the background, character, and proposals of any candidate who could be our next commander in chief. Democrats and the media are not holding Obama accountable, so conservatives must. I’m grateful to David Freddoso and my publisher, Regnery, for finally revealing the man behind the myth.

I urge you to read The Case Against Barack Obama. I also recommend that you buy copies for your friends and relatives who may consider voting for Obama. They deserve to know the truth, too.

Please click on one of the links below to order your copy today.

Sincerely,

John O’Neill

O'Neill exposes Obama as -- gasp! -- a liberal,

Yeah, well, if the media won't report these kinds of elementary details about him, I guess that leaves it up to right wing authors to do it.

I was reading something written by an otherwise intelligent liberal guy in my field who send out periodic newsletters. He was lamenting the dirty campaigning as typified by, no not the “Fake But Accurate” story about Bush, but the Swifties!!! So telling the truth about John Kerry is dirty politics, but making up stuff about GWB isn’t. I didn’t even bother to respond to the guy, if he can even form that thought.

That email probably never reached O'Neill, since it was sent to the email address "no-reply@HumanEventsOnline.com."

Well, now - how stupid does one have to be to send an email to such an address? Stupid enough to be a liberal?
