All night long on the cable news shows they have been talking about this.
People are talking about criminal charges in a 100% serious manner.
Man!!!!
And you know people are talking about the new swifty ad too. Go check the blogs. This one hit a nerve.

We've all heard the strident claims from the DEMS that these Burkett papers were proof that GWB did not make public all his records. Etc., etc., etc.
Heard the latest twist?
I've heard twice today that there can be no federal charges brought in the matter since the Burkett papers were private memoranda (i.e., not government documents).
Whatever fits, or as the wind blows... It's sickening. |

That doesnt wash since the forger used official letterhead and signed it with the dead officer's name. _________________ John Kerry, R.I.P. (Rot In Paris) |

That dog don't hunt. The SIGNATURE blocks with the forged signature, rank, and "commander" MAKE the documents "official". The purported CONTENT were "ORDERS from a senior officer to a junior under his command" which makes them official (there is no such thing as an "unofficial order").
No, they are desperately trying to avoid what is unavoidable. They forged official documents. _________________ USMC 69-72, 7th Comm, 3rd MarDiv, FMFPAC

C'mon! Since when did facts, truth, logic, etc. have anything to do with Kerry campaign utterances, or the tilted media, for that matter?
I just think it's pathetically funny that they were "official" when they wanted them to be, but suddenly were deemed to be "unofficial" when that seemed to suit their purpose. |

Hey and because it's been proven a fact that a computer was involved in the creation of these forgeries so they also fall into the "computer crimes" section and there all felonies. _________________ Proud to be an American! and member of the PAJAMAHADEEN

The only way See B.S. can redeem itself, is to do a story covering these 254 men who call themselves.......
Swift Boat Veterans for Truth
A comprehensive two hour special, complete with interviews of key players and a challenge to a face off between John Oneill and Mr. Flipper. |

If Burkett realizes that he has been set up to take the fall, and that fall is a felony, jail time... Maybe then he'll come clean with the whole story, about who actually set this in motion and did the forgeries. But picking him to be the front man was brilliant since he does have this background of being unstable. Now, when he does reveal his handlers, they can say that no one can believe anything their "unimpeachable source" tells us. |

Getting O'Neil and the SBVT on CBS is a great idea, and I think it would an excellent chance for them to dispell a lot of the myths about them being discredited etc.
How can we make this happen? letters? emails? pressure on the affiliates? going to the top and telling them this is the only way any of us will ever watch cbs again? Get media outlets such as radio and fox news to call on CBS to redem itself by presenting the other side of the story?
Lets have some real suggestions, since if it could be pulled off, it would be the end of the Kerry campaign. |

THE OTHER night I heard someone at c BS saying how 'fair' they were.... not biased at all etc....
well, I don't see that and evidently their mail (and email) doesn't either...
my email to them is gonna suggest that as proof... that they have on the
SVBTS who have UNFORGED military documents from kerry site/ navy -
unless they of course, want to REMAIN a low rated alphabet preaching
to the choir ? 'cause how many people are gonna be watching
them now ??? The SBVTS should be a good ratings getter. _________________ Stevie

You can bet the mortgage and your firstborn that Burkett typed the forgeries. Just reading his old material has "motive" written all over it. Lucy Ramirez is a ghost, he's just trying to save his behind.
I think Burkett and Mapes should do time (Barnes, too) . I seriously doubt either will. The MSM will stall this out till after the election. Things will still get hot but I'd guess no one will do time. Sandy Berger, ditto. |
