I noticed the site was down for a while due to DOS attacks. Now be ready for the smears from the usual leftwing koolaid drinkers and Democrats.

I heard that the Kerry campaign is trying to keep the ad off of TV stations by sending intimidating letters from lawyers.

Funny how they can bash GWs Air NG service but HOW DARE anyone criticize their pet war hero John Kerry?

Funny how back then Vietnam service was evil to them but now a self admitted Vietnam war criminal is the War Hero now.

Don't they see how stupid it makes them look? How nakedly hypocritical?

Go Swiftvets!! I got your back!

lock and load.

Grampa...there was no DOS attack...there was a WOW! attack...the server was overwhelmed by the interest generated over the last several days and the Swiftee ad automatically running on arrival.

New servers will, apparently, be online soon for the main website. The forum appears to be running just fine now...at last.

The letter from the DNC and Kerry's lawyer's threatening stations with ligation is on Drudge. It is rather lengthy.

The letter is available at:

www.humaneventsonline.com

The attorney's phone #s are at the end; I urge vets to use them, but be clear and to the point (without cussing!). Semper Fi!

I had looked forward to The O'Reilly Factor tonight ... but he and Dick Morris dissed the ad and the motivation of the group. And, they don't seem to understand the relevance of Kerry's service during and after as an indicator of his qualifications for Commander in Chief. Putting it mildly, I was dissapointed and sent off an Email telling him so ... and why. Fair and balanced did not happen tonight. Hope he reads "the book" and apologizes.

Swiftvets ... keep the pressure on. Right has to rule on this issue.

I'm no expert on phBB, but from what I can tell, it's different than ezBoard - it requires installation on the site's server and it uses the site's bandwidth to operate, like some other bulletin boards do. (dcforum or vBulletin, for instance)

An ezBoard will continue to operate when the site is down because it's hosted on its own servers which don't interface with the site's servers.

Hope I didn't just manage to confuse things further? I can be good at that! Wink

Also was disappointed in O'Reilly (but Morris is an ass so no point if being disappointed in him).
O'Reilly measures EVERYTHING by whether one is willing to go on his show and face him. He said if SwiftVets will come on the show he will "listen". Here is an opportunity I hope somebody like RADM Hoffman will welcome.
It appears the entire media doesn't comprehend that Swifts worked in packs. were berthed together, the functions of superiors in the command chain, etc. so it credits only the opinions of those on Kerry's two boats. (On Hannity, Susan Estrich kept making the point that Green Beret Rassmann served on Kerry's boat. Huh? Wasn't he just getting a ride?)

Oh my, here's some meat to chew on. The letter from the lawyers has one line that could turn the clock back 30+ years and apply to their client so well:

You have to admit. Those blood suckers who call themselves lawyers are right, when they say that the men in that ad didn't serve on John Kerry's swiftboat.
But, that's nothing but a huge spin on the facts. THEY NEVER SAID THAT THEY SERVED WITH HIM ON HIS BOAT.
THEY SAID THAT THEY SERVED WITH HIM.
The scary part about the lawyers letter to the TV stations is that of course the stations are going to comply because, first, they don't want to hurt John Kerry's chance of becoming President. And second, I honestly believe that some of the people (I have a better choice of word, but I don't want to name call.) who run the TV stations will actually believe what the lawyers are saying.
As will a lot of the voting public who support John Kerry. I just hope that the undecideds don't fall for these misrepresentations of the facts, and the Democrats way of rewording things for their own benefit, whether it's true or not.
The one person who I am disappointed in the most is John McCain. I didn't serve in Vietnam. I am just a peace time vet, but I think that all vets should support each other. Unless, the vet is blatantly telling lies, and being unethical. As in John Kerry's case.

PBRBob,
I've tried to contact my local media news station, specifically the Editorial Director. He answered my first note, thanking me for contacting him, and that he would get back to me with some information. Then my second note, he told me that he forwarded it on to his boss and that she would be getting in touch with me. Needless to say, she never contacted me. Since then I have sent numerous emails, some of them with attachments. But I have yet to receive any response with any substance.
I myself honestly don't think that there's a media outlet worth a rat's behind anymore these days.
For some reason they are all for the democrats. They don't seem to realize that Clinton's inaction after the World Trade Center was attacked in 1993, and then when the embassies in Africa were attacked in 1996, and then the U.S.S. Cole was attacked in 2000, was a major reason why the attrocities happened on September 11, 2001.
The terrorists took Clinton's jaw-jacking as a sign of weakness. They saw that every time they attacked, all that Clinton would do is go on television, and say,
"we are going to hunt down those responsible, and punish them to the furthest extent of the law."
They just laughed and went on to bigger and better targets.

Clinton and the rest of the democrats want to treat the terrorists like common criminals. They want to treat them like some thug who just committed a B&E, or a purse snatching.
I have my own ideas of how I would take care of them, but the liberal cry babies, along with their buddies in France would cry that it's inhumane.
