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 on the Fox News show DaySide with Linda Vester around 1:10pm 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."

Can somebody make sure to get this on tape? -- Thanks, I.T.

Ping a ling

[Interesting Times]

Ping!

[abner]

I would but I can't. Was that a Kerryism???

I am tech deprived here at work. . . . . .

[Interesting Times]

I think it would be more of a Kerryism if you agreed before you refused.

[Eva]

Thanks for the heads up.

[abner]

Got it.

[Howlin]

Oh, yeah!

Perhaps he will comment on the "medal" controversy!

[texasbluebell]

Thanks for the reminder, Howlin! I really want to see this.

[Peach]

I'll be sure to tune in to watch him.

Funny how we don't have any trouble understanding what O'Neill is trying to say.

The metrosexual Kerry on the otherhand is so confusing even his cohort Lieberman can't follow all the flip flops.

Drip-drip is just inadequate to describe what is happening to John F'n Kerry...

MOAB-MOAB is more like it. :)

Rush is talking about the medals. Rush is saying the starter was a lie about tossing the medals that Kerry said to Peter Jennings in December. Kerry lied to Peter. Now, ABC/Peter Jennings is against Kerry. (Rush: You don't lie to Peter Jennings and expect to get away with it. Kerry lied and is now going to suffer the wrath of Jennings.)

[MEG33]

Thank you for the ping.

[prairiebreeze]

thanks for the heads up. Will probably tune in.

[ride the whirlwind]

Thanks, will try to see this.

[Molly Pitcher]

A busy day bump. Usually don't watch this show, but today's a must!

Thanks, IT.

Indeed. Mr. O'Neill was on Steve Malzberg's radio show yesterday morning and indicated that more Viet Nam veterans would be coming forward to speak out soon.

I made the comment just the other day that I seem to keep saying "What does that mean?" more and more with regard to the things Kerry says!

When Clinton used to talk (early in his presidency) I told my husband he was the best speaker I'd ever heard.

Then a few minutes later, I'd turn to my husband and ask "What did he just say". It was all gobblygook.

But Clinton at LEAST sounded good. Kerry sounds demented.

MiaT says he's Bored Certified. 1) He's boring; and 2) He's certifiable.

I know Duke Cunningham really took after Kerry recently.

He was a hero - they had to ORDER him home after he made ace. That fifth kill was against North Vietnam's top ace, Colonel Tomb. That's the only time I have found when the top pilots (Cunningham had four kills at the time he had engaged Tomb, who had 13 kills) of two countries at war faced off with each other.
