4. This guy is cutting Kerry to ribbons
If we're going to hold Kerry to what he said when he was a young man against the war let's hold bush to the same standard.

bush was a coke head drunkard! :mad:

18. As a matter of fact he did.
Didn't catch the guys name...an advisor to Kerry. He wasn't forceful enough in defending Kerry IMO. Especially after such a vicious attack by O'neill...Man, the asshole said Kerry wasn't fit to tie the shoes of real Navy men! That deserved a huge comeback from Kerry himself!

14. he debated Kerry a few times during the anti- war years
he was sent out by Nixon to put Kerry in his place. C-Span reran the debate the two men had on the Dick Cavett show. I'm not going to try to guess the exact date...

8. Do you mean Paul O'Neill?
Edited on Tue Apr-20-04 04:57 PM by NYCGirl
Who was featured in Suskind's book, THE PRICE OF FREEDOM?

John O'Neill is the former Deputy Director of the FBI who died in the WTC.

EDIT: I see from another thread he's someone from a veteran's organization...

11. Nope, neither one of those O'Neill's
This is John E. O'Neill, some Republican that claims to have served with Kerry.

9. He didn't even answer
when Wolf suggested he might be a Republican – just went into his spiel, and Wolf never pressed him on it.

10. Now to be fair
Wolf should interview someone from Bush's national guard division to say what they thought of him as a soldier... Oh wait, they can't Bush never showed up.

12. To be fair
Wolfie should be demanding to know what Gee Dubya was doing when he was 27 yrs. old and "young and foolish". Fair is fair, I say! Make him 'fess up to his wild and crazy days!

16. But Wolfie ISN't fair. He's a Bushevik Propagandist.
You might as well expect Axis Sally to have told a sympathetic tale about the Jews in Concentration Camps.

When oh when did we turn our news media over to these Bootlicking Pravda Whores?

Our Formerly Free Press is now as big a World Joke as Soviet Pravda, perhaps moreso.

13. LMAO, that would be great
Now, we're going to interview somebody who served with President Bush in the national guard. Mr. Beer Bottle, what were your views about the War in Vietnam during the 1960's.

17. This was not good...
This guy really tore into Kerry. Very bad.

Wolf had Meehan on after the break to take Kerry's side, but he didn't get as much time and really didn't do that great of a job defending Kerry.

This sucks.

Who is this John O'Neill guy? He isn't the same guy that runs that vets against Kerry site that's the nutjob that went after McCain, too, is he?

the Vietnam war.

19. Also...
the guy said this is his first time coming out against Kerry and that he says others in their group (who served with Kerry) feel the same way and will also come out.

:(

22. It is the one who debated Kerry on Cavett
http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/ssistory.mpl/front/2476454

"In 1971, O'Neill squared off against Kerry on the Dick Cavett Show in a 90-minute, televised forum in which the two Vietnam War veterans sparred over the U.S. role in Southeast Asia.

President Nixon and top aide Charles Colson had taken a keen interest in O'Neill as part of their effort to discredit Kerry and the anti-war movement, according to memos and tapes in the National Archives. A clean-cut Naval Academy graduate, O'Neill was viewed by Nixon's team as an effective messenger against Kerry, who was causing the administration headaches as the leader of the Vietnam Veterans Against the War.

O'Neill, who clerked for U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice William Rehnquist later in the 1970s, has largely steered clear of national politics since the Vietnam War era. He has focused on his law practice at the firm of Clements, O'Neill, Pierce, Wilson & Fulkerson."

23. It happened, no matter who says it didn't
Buried Secrets/Brutal Truths
2004 Pulitzer Prize Winner
http://www.toledoblade.com/apps/pbcs.dll/section?Category=SRTIGERFORCE

"This series reveals for the first time anywhere that members of a platoon of American soldiers from the 101st known as Tiger Force slaughtered an untold number of Vietnamese civilians over a seven-month period in 1967.

After a 4 1/2 -year Army investigation concluded that at least 18 Tiger Force soldiers committed war crimes, the matter was dropped by the Army. The official files were buried in the Army's archives since 1975, and to this day military officials continue to withhold them from the public."

Wolf should be asking who is paying O'Neill to lie.

24. O'Neil says that Kerry is a liar and is unfit to be CIC.
You guys can rest assured, this guy is just getting started in smearing Kerry. He's been sitting back for over 20 years and all of that rage inside of him has been opened now that Kerry is running for President. He should direct that rage to Dumbya, who stayed behind safely in Texas, imo. And this O'Neil guy is in Houston, too. Yech! I don't care what this hardened bastard says. At least Kerry served his time unlike the present idiot in chief!
