I finally watched the entire broadcast of "The Dick Cavett show" from 1971. It was very compelling. Anyone who is thinking of supporting the Swiftvets stand must see this video. Thanks for making it easy for those of us who missed it before. Mr. O'Neill addresses many of the issues we are discussing still today. He looks John Kerry in the eye, as an honest man would, each time he makes a statement about Kerry's lies. John Kerry, however, doesn't seem to be able or willing to look O'Neill in the eye. From the time I was a child, my father taught us to look people in the eye when we were speaking to them. When a man can't look you in the eye, he is in my experience, probably not telling you the truth. It looked quite evident that John Kerry felt very uncomfortable looking into the eyes of a fellow veteran, that he knew he had maligned. Mr. O'Neill does not come across as a smooth operator, like Kerry. He does make me proud of a regular, honest, hardworking young American guy standing up for his fellow servicemen. They needed a voice to speak to the "TRUTH". I thank him for that effort then, and for the fight he has had to undertake again. God Bless him for his strength and courage!

Amen!

I saw that on CSPAN several weeks ago and it turned my stomach to watch his arrogant, condescending attitude. You're so right about his lack of eye contact. He was like a slug getting "salted". In an open forum, he would have been toasted early on. However, Cavett and the audience gave him the air of holding his own. If you can see this exchange, watch it. You might want to keep a barf bag handy.
