Way to go Brit for keeping this on the front burner.

They are debating the fact that all the allegations should be checked out and that the MSM is dropping the ball.

Juan Williams ...... ugggg Twisted Evil

Mort Kondracke and the guest who is not Juan Williams (didn't get a name) read the book, said that the media ought to be looking into this with the same zeal they gave to the Bush AWOL claim.

One of them said that the media is derelict in not checking this out.

Juan Williams trotted out the same old party line and claimed that it was all checked out a long time ago.

It was three against one today!

Brit and two of the three beltway boys are calling for a full media investigation.

This story is not going away!

First time in the media I've seen yet, it wasnt a gang of Kerry supporters attacking the SBVT will falsehoods, but rather a group of people essentially saying it needs to be investigated much more, and prettymuch shooting down everything Juan Williams had to say...It's about time!

Juan Williams admits "kerry embellished". Mort..."Media is derelict".

Why don't they ask kerry to produce form 180?

Juan Williams has not read the book and trotted out the same dem talking points.Fred, Mort and Brit who have all read the book find it compelling and said the charges warrant further investigation.

People,

Congratulations swiftvets. I caught just a bit of it, but the corner has been turned. From here on out, I expect to see the MSM demand that Kerry respond to allegations rather than focusing on the SBVT themselves.

I fired off a post to the show at special@foxnews.com to tell Mr. Juan Williams what I thought of him. What nerve to say that Navy vets did not see combat or some such statement!

He sure has nerve!

Now maybe the media will do the job they are alawys claiming they do so well. You know, I really want to know the TRUTH of this matter. It is true I don't like Kerry and I would never vote for him, but it could be a candidate that I would vote for in the same situation and I would want the truth to be known. A man that is going to be the President of this country MUST have integrity and we must feel be able to feel confident in the man that leads us. Kerry is definately NOT that man;/

My email to Fox News.

Unfortunately Juan Williams demonstrated the blind ignorance that is so damaging to this country. The PBR crews, the MIC boat crews, the Seawolf crews, the Seals, the HCU's, the Swift Boat crews, etc., etc. would be very interested to learn that the Navy saw little action in Vietnam. I am a Coast Guard Viet Vet that saw action. Although this was a small slight to a large group of vets, his obvious following of the party line is the tragedy.
