Default Action Alert: Swift Vets and POWs for Truth!!


SwiftVets Announce FREE Access to"Stolen Honor" Documentary and

New Mini-Documentaries withSwift Boat Veterans at:




Our goal since the beginning of our campaign has been to ensure the American people had a chance to hear the truth about Sen. John Kerry's time in Vietnam and his anti-war activities. With your help, we have raised millions of dollars to spread this message as far as we can. Today we are taking another historic step. The documentary film "Stolen Honor" vividly portrays the impact of John Kerry's false testimony and statements about the Vietnam War. As of today, every American can see this film for free, in its entirety, at www.stolenhonor.com.


We encourage you to view this powerful work, but more than that, we need your help. Please take a few minutes today to tell your friends, family or others about this opportunity. Our goal is for every person on this list to convince 10 more people to watch the documentary and see and hear the truth about Kerry for themselves.

At the same time, we are releasing a new set of mini-documentaries filmed with Swift Boat Veterans, also available at www.stolenhonor.com. These three-to-five-minute movies discuss the controversies surrounding many of Kerry's wartime medals and his alleged secret mission into Cambodia -- a mission even his official biographer now says never happened. The short films take on:




  • John Kerry's First Purple Heart -- How did John Kerry get his first purple heart when all three officers required to approve it rejected his application?
  • Christmas in Cambodia -- John Kerry has repeatedly told of being in Cambodia on a secret mission, with it being seared in his memory. See what everyone else has to say.
  • The Sampan Cover Up -- An example of where we believe John Kerry simply filed a false action report to cover up his conduct.
  • No Man Left Behind -- You heard John Kerry tell America one story about his Vietnam service at the Democratic National Convention. Here's the true story of John Kerry's Bronze Star.
  • Third Purple Heart -- How we believe John Kerry faked a third purple heart in order to flee from Vietnam...not as a hero but in shame.
We urge you to take the time to view these important works and thank you again for helping us tell the truth about John Kerry.

Default Re: Action Alert: Swift Vets and POWs for Truth!!

Thought this quote would fit here!



"To me the most interesting lie, John O'Neill, that I would submit to you that you should answer, is, you make a lying claim that John Kerry's antiwar activity prolonged the amount of time that prisoners of war were held in Vietnam. ... That's a lie, John O'Neill! ... Lies! ... That's a lie! It's another lie! That's a lie! Absolute lie! You lie in that book endlessly! ... Disgusting, lying book! ... It's a pack of lies! You are unfit to publish! ... He just lied to you! He spews out this filth! Point to his name on the report, you liar! ... You just spew lies! ... I just hate the lies of John O'Neill. I hate lies. It's not an argument; they're proven lies. ... O'Neill's a liar, he's been a liar for 35 years about this, and he's found other liars ... They lied! ... They're lying somewhere! ... Lies! Just tell me the initials, you liar! Creepy liar! ... You are a liar who makes things up! ... You want the lies! That's how you make your living, on lies!" --MSNBC Political Analyst Lawrence O'Donnell, with a few professional journalistic observations on the Swift Boat Vets' book

This guy has lost it!!!

I think the point he's trying to make is that John O'Neill is a liar.

The main question is, was he there? I don't think so. If you weren't there you can't question him or his book either.

I'm not so sure about that SFGA.

1. Eye witness accounts are rarely reliable accounts for validity.
2. If one adopted that attitude, most serious WWII research could be debunked as myth.

I mean, one can't always think in the fashion that "you weren't there. So you can't question either that or the book". Unless the book (any book) stands up to questioning and cross-validation - it isn't too far from "biased propaganda".

I agree with you John. What got me was how many times he called the man a liar. It was as if he was ranting and raving over something he disagreed with. A good journalist would not get that far out of control.
