| SF Examiner's Antrim Rips Kerry |
| 2004-08-14 |
| SF Examiner (h/t Instapundit) - EFL Kathleen Antrim - Friday, August 13, 2004 Backlash of Kerry claims John F. Kerry's campaign for president is imploding. And he knows it. The anti-war candidate went public as a pro-war candidate this week, and the members of his beloved "Band of Brothers" are exposing a whole book's worth of ugly lies. And they've got details, evidence, footnotes, signed affidavits and witnesses who back up their claims. Kerry himself bestowed immense credibility on his "Band of Brothers" when he used a picture of some of them in his campaign ad titled "Lifetime." Essentially, Kerry made Vietnam, and these men, the centerpiece of his campaign. Of course, that was when he thought they'd support his candidacy. No matter that he'd never bothered to ask their permission to use them to promote his political career. Now, however, the Kerry campaign is on a search-and-destroy mission to attack the credibility of these same men -- calling them liars, all 60 of them, and saying they didn't serve in the military with him. Really? Then why'd Kerry use their pictures in his ad campaign? These are the same men who Kerry hailed as his "Band of Brothers," who he implied knew him well and could vouch for him as a wonderful soldier and man. These men, who Kerry inferred that we, the American people, could trust to tell us that he would make a great president, are suddenly liars. And why? Because they aren't saying what Kerry wants them to say. Because they aren't puppets. Because they're insisting on speaking the truth, a concept with which Kerry obviously isn't familiar. Could this attack on their credibility be related to the fact that they've announced that he's unfit to serve as president? Looks to me like he wrote the wrong names down in the reference column of his resume. ...more... Finally, a well-known MSM publication has weighed in - with substance. |

| #3 Don't think too much of this, she has always been critical of Kerry. If this were the SF Chronicle or the LA Times maybe it would grow. So far the Liberal press has dutifully villified the Swiftees into some rouge Navy fringe with direct ties to Karl Rove. On the other hand these attacks (by the left) will almost cetainly backfire since the book is wildly popular on Amazon. Sooner or later Senator Kerry will have to make his records public or cast doubt on his stories of valor. |

| #2 MSNBC's free web video feed is carrying a 5-minute hit piece on O'Neil that's chock full of propaganda supporting Kerry's version of events (you know, the version that he's already retracted). The MSM is going to look pretty silly when the truth of this matter actually comes to light. |

| #1 THUD. There went the first one. Will the MSM video ever catch on? Who will be last, ABC or CBS? |
