John O'Neill media blitz continues
John O'Neill ^ | April 22, 2004 | Interesting Times

Posted on 04/22/2004 10:46:29 AM PDT by Interesting Times

John O'Neill, the Vietnam veteran who took on John Kerry in the 1971 debate on American "war crimes" that was recently rebroadcast on C-SPAN, will continue his series of media interviews this afternoon, interviewing with Michael Buchanan of the BBC at 4:30pm, with Larry Elder on ABC radio at 7:00pm, and with Alan Colmes on Fox Radio News at 11:15pm. All times are Eastern.

O'Neill, who commanded a Swift boat in the same division as Kerry -- though for considerably longer -- more than held his own against Kerry during a 90-minute special broadcast of the Dick Cavett Show. Now he is challenging Senator Kerry to continue the debate they began 33 years ago, in an effort to clear the names of the Vietnam veterans Kerry once accused of war crimes "committed on a day-to-day basis with the full awareness of officers at all levels of command."

I'm listening to the 2nd hour of Glenn Beck right now and it is hysterical. He is talking about the 'real' issue about John Kerry. He then played JFK's testimony in front of Congress and that it is really about JFK's phony psuedo English/Boston accent. It's not about mutilating Vietnamese, and war atrocities.

Hat off to "ordinary people" like John O'neil. We're glad that this country is built with people like John O'neil via John F'ing Kerry...

O'N says he saw none.

Coastal Div 11 are angry about Kerry.

Glenn tells him to make the case about what Kerry did after Vietnam.

He says he opposes him because of his lies about war crimes.

Campaigns as a Vietnam Vet. Spends more time campaigning about Vietnam than he was in Vietnam.

Glenn talks about how he asked people to tell him about war crimes on his show and only one person said yes.

O'N says he never saw war crimes.

Glenn asks about his motives.

O'N talks about book Kerry is hiding.
Says he has unfettered and unlimited ambition.

Glenn asks if Nixon puts him up to coming forward back in 71.

O'N says that he wrote to the select committee and offered to testify. Said there was no room for him.
Yet, the liars were able to testify.

Glenn asks to get O'N's phone number so he can possibly interview him properly at another time.

Stu finds the book on ebay and the book goes for between 150 and 1500 dollars.

Thanks... sounds like vintage O'Neill.

I'm trying to track down an audio link for the BBC interview at 4:30pm. It might be on BBC Radio 4, but I don't see any mention of Michael Buchanan.

Great work, IT. We've got to keep this issue front and center. John O'Neill is laying his best out on the line and we can do no less. We can help by forwarding these Kerry exposure threads to our personal lists and by keeping them bumped.

O'Neill starts out solid on the Larry Elder show -- points out that Kerry is still lying about atrocities in Vietnam. O'Neill also detailed in his criticism of the exaggerations of Kerry's war record.

O'Neill makes sure audience knows that Kerry's suppressed book, THE NEW SOLDIER, is available on www.wintersoldier.com -- Kerry refuses to allow it to be reprinted -- Kerry supporters have systematically bought up copies and destroyed them.

Just thought I'd let you know I saw that C-SPAN interview that you posted that link to in another thread. That one turned out just fine on dialup. Thanks Mo. :)

ON : Kerry spent more time campaigning in leather jacket than he spent with us in Nam.

Kerry was lying and is sticking to the same lie after all these years.
