I have been following this site (and made contributions) since before the book and ads came out. I keep seeing people give advice to the SwiftVets about how they need to proceed and who should say what in the media.

The fact that Mr. O’Neill was even on “This Week” and was given the chance by George Stephenanopolous to make his case for some very specific points about Kerry’s record speaks volumes about how far this has come in the past month. I never thought anyone but radio talk show hosts ever give this a fair chance.

It is used to be true that obviously honest men were being grilled like criminals whenever they said anything about the great war hero. I think that now that the SwiftVets have been seen on air for what they really are, no unbiased observer can think that their integrity could be bought for a few thousand dollars from the RNC. The story continues to grow because it is based on truth and truth, much to my surprise in this instance, will prevail.

Illigitimi non carborundum

It sounds better in Latin...which is close to the language kerry speaks (pig latin)

I have the most absolute confidence in O'Neill & the Vets and am happy to just watch them steadily proceed. To me the discussions here about what they should do and what people should say, etc, all the supportive brainstorming and research has helped me alot in framing emails to bombard the media with. And spoiled, yes, I admit it, darn it anyway.......

Illigetimi non-carbarundum

I think we were both off the mark a bit. Except for me on kerry's pig latin.

It was when I saw Oneill on Hannity and Colmes that I knew this story was eventually going to break into the MSM, the man just oozes integrity and courage, and confidence. All those who oppose him have appeared as hot headed fools.

I digress.

I started my own personal "ET Against John Kerry" Campaign long before the SwiftVets were online. I took a tip from the failing Dean Campaign. This is the year of the Internet when it comes to Politics. The MSM is in trouble and fading fast. People have started to look for their news online. And the people who put the SwiftVets on top and John Kerry in the "outhouse" are sitting behind keyboards in household offices(including yours) throughout America.

I knew the SwiftVets would make it when they were Top of the Page on the major Blog Sites. The Main Stream Media seems to only be capable of ignoring the #1 item on the Blogs for about two weeks. By then the amount of Emails into the MSM has taken up so time that they are forced to respond. Damned, that keyboard is powerful!!!

Yeah, I noted a google of Vietnam Veterans For Kerry and had to scroll down to find it after a number of listings of "Veterans Against" Kerry (and even, "Special Forces Against Kerry"! heh...

My keyboard is taking quite a pounding - I might need a new one before this is done!! Laughing
