As some newspapers don't know quite yet where to go with the SwiftVet stories, and others are blantantly shilling for John Kerry, perhaps it is time to get this matter settled. By a duel. Not of guns or swords. Of lie detectors. That's right, lie detectors. Steve Gardner, you have throw down the gauntlet. You have accused John Kerry of lying. He has his surrogates attacking you. It is time for you to make the challenge to meet him on a live television event and each man submit to a lie detector test. Perhaps the head of the FBI will...

JOHN KERRY'S CREW MEMBER - FROM HIS BOAT ON WITH KEVIN MCCULLOUGH NOW!!!

Who is Steve Gardner? Swift Boat Vet "eyewitness" was not present for events leading to Kerry's medals or Purple Hearts Stephen Gardner has been touted by the anti-Kerry group Swift Boat Veterans for Truth and by conservative hosts as a singularly authoritative critic with firsthand knowledge of Senator John Kerry's (D-MA) record in Vietnam because Gardner -- unlike all the other members of Swift Boat Veterans for Truth -- actually served on a swift boat that Kerry commanded. Gardner has questioned Kerry's integrity; has claimed personal knowledge of the circumstances leading to Kerry's first Purple Heart; and has spoken with...

Last night while in the car, I was listening to Hugh Hewitt and heard an exchange so striking that it warranted a phone call to my husband at home to determine if anyone on FR was discussing it. Unless I missed a key word in my search, it doesn't seem to have been addressed, so I'll describe it here myself. I turned on the radio in the middle of an interview with Steve Gardner of the Swift Boat Vets, who was recounting an incident in Vietnam that involved the shooting of an adult and the inadvertent shooting of a child,...

The media keeps reporting that NONE of the "Swift Boat Veterans for Truth" have ever served under/with John Kerry. This is NOT TRUE...Gardner served as his front gunner for 2.5 months of Kerry's 3 months in country!

This is a movie review, a reminder of one of the most reprehensible people in American history, and a well-deserved pranging of James Carville and Lanny Davis. Both of them appeared last week on every TV program in the known universe to decry the criticisms of John Kerry by 254 Swift Boat veterans because “they were not on the same boat.” This is a bald-faced, brass-plated lie in a number of ways. But before we count those up, a review of M. Night Shyamalan’s latest movie, The Village, is in order Yes, this will connect up. And so will a...

CLOVER -- Steve Gardner of Clover served on the same boat in Vietnam as Sen. John Kerry but doesn't like the Democratic presidential candidate one bit. Tonight on national cable television, Gardner will get a chance to say why. Gardner, a member of the anti-Kerry group "Swift Boat Veterans For Truth," is scheduled to appear on The O'Reilly Factor, Fox News in New York confirmed Sunday. Bill O'Reilly's show, one of cable television's most-watched programs, airs locally at 8 p.m. and 11 p.m. on Comporium Cable Channel 59. Gardner served as a gunner under Kerry, who was awarded a Bronze...

A former Navy gunner who served with presidential candidate John Kerry in Vietnam found himself in the media crosshairs this week. Until two weeks ago, Steve Gardner of Clover, S.C., had not talked with anyone from his 10-member Kerry-led boat crew in more than 30 years. The other nine members have generally described Kerry's leadership as heroic and exemplary under fire. Several have appeared with Kerry during campaign stops. Not Gardner. "Our job in that boat was to engage the enemy and Kerry did what he could to avoid confronting the enemy. He ran like a dog," Gardner said in...
