I need help
Edited on Fri Jul-30-04 07:43 AM by Mortos
Local radio right wingers are bashing Kerry using John O'Neils upcoming lie filled propaganda book by sayin Kerry faked footage in Vietnam. I need rebuttal material. I know O'Neil arrived in Vietnam 2 months after Kerry left (so I don't know how he would have any idea what Kerry did there) but I can't find any good sites refuting this idiot or the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth claims. Any help would be appreciated.

1. snopes, the Kerry D-Bunker
What I find so funny is, the right wingers are saying Kerry walked around with his own video camera...ha ha ha...who had a video camera in the 1960s people?????

2. mediamatters.com has stuff about this.
Also I think Joe Conason has a good article about it, too, but don't know where.

3. Another thread saying "Please help me with this freeper story"
Why am I not surprised. The last one is stale it is over a couple hours old.

6. Why not provide the link instead of belittling this concern?
I, too, participate in other message boards, supposedly non-partisan - no such thing - where RWers post lies about the boat and about Teresa and I am glad when someone proves the lies.

7. First of all
don't accuse me of being a part of the GOP. Read my posts. Read any of my three front page articles for DU. I am trying really hard not to curse here. I have googled the shit out of this story and am currently fighting tooth and nail with several local right wing radio propogandists about this topic, I just assumed that the wise people at DU could help me. If you can't help then don't but try checking out people a little before you start accusing people of some republican conspiracy.

8. Yesterday one of JK's shipmates debunked the story on TV--

Quotes from that eyewitness should certainly kill the story.

10. Why bother? Work to promote the good of Kerry. There is no point in
attempting to validate their lies.

Just laugh and ridicule anyone who attempts to pass off such nonsense as truth and promote something you know as truth about kerry or tell them something horrendous about bush. Put THEM on the defensive. Ask where bush was for 2 years in the ANG..

all you gotta do. put THEM on the defensive. They're playing you and you're letting them.

14. Look asshole
I am sick and tired of the few paranoid conspiracy theorists on this site who find the republican black helicopters in every post. Stop implying that I am helping out the conservatives or have some other nefarious plan. I am fighting for John Kerry, Democrats and Liberals every day. What have you done lately? Aside from cast aspersions on your compatriots?
