Just got through watching Lefty Davis on Hannity; certainly got my dander up. Someone is coaching these guys in psyops:

Up until now this whole discussion has been about Swift Boats. Part of the argument against the Swift Vets has been that "you had to be on Kerry's boat to know what really happened. We all know how the boats worked and that they were a very small community; if someone on boat 94 farted, someone on boat 44 bitched. Did anyone other than me notice that Lanny repeatedly referred to the boats as "ships". I really don't believe that this was out of ignorance; someone in the know is coaching here. If you can start getting the public to think in terms of ships instead of boats you can make an argument that you had to be on Kerry's boat (ship??) to make a judgement on anything that was going on.

Maybe I'm getting paranoid, but that's the view from the bridge.

You could believe that, or you could believe that it's the typical clueless civvie who doesn't know the difference betwee fore and aft, port and starboard, a boat and a ship.

Good old Lanny Davis, O'Neill "never served on any of these boats." Who was it took over Kerry's when he abandoned his crew?

They are desparate and it shows.

Sorry I agree, Its a well crafted retort, and Ill bet its echoed by others.
