#2 "We have 19 of 23 officers who served with [Kerry]. We have every commanding officer he ever had in Vietnam. They all signed a letter that says he is unfit to be commander-in-chief," OâNeill said

Yeah - And Kerry says this is irrevalent, and his lapdogs at the cabal (CNN-CBS-ABC-NBC) lick his face and wag their tails.

83% of the officers who served with Kerry. "It's a VAST right-wing CONSPIRACY!"

#3 I takes a really special kind of politician to convert winning the Silver Star into a campaign liability.

#5 I bet we find out a lot more about that Silver Star and it aint going to look good at all. Something, no EVERYTHING about this man doesn't feel right. Maybe after the convention we will see some more 'war stories' with his peers.

#6 Just make darned sure that a Republican '527' isn't behind this. Public figured out rather quickly that the Bush AWOL story was being pushed by moveon.org, etc., and turned away from it. If the Repubs are returning the favor the message will be lost.

#7 Steve - I think I read on another site this morning (can't remember which one, polipundit maybe) that this group is a 527.

#8 If this was a partisan torpedo, wouldn't it have made sense to hold on till Kerry's the Democrats' confirmed candidate? AFAIU, they've still got time to change this dud for someone else.

#10 It was on Polipundit

"Swift Boat Veterans for Truth is a "527" group."

#11 LotR, that's what I was afraid of. It's going to be very easy for ABCCBSCNNNBC to dismiss this as just partisan sniping, though that didn't seem to stop them on the Bush AWOL bruhaha.

#12 I don't think so Steve. Pretty soon they are going to ask a Veteran wether they will vote for Kerry and I bet there are not too many in favor of him. I know and work with a lot of Veterans groups in California and I have yet to see ONE Kerry sticker or have someone praise him. We are going to be heard sometime and maybe this will spark that fire.

#13 CS. I'm sure the media will find a Kerry-supporting Vet no matter how may weeks they have to spend searching.....

...then write their stories as if this one individual 'represents' all vets.....

#14 I have yet to see a single "mainstream media" report on today's press conference.
