10. They were exposed 30 years ago.
Remember, O'Neill tried the EXACT SAME LIES back then and the Republicans laughed their asses off at him.

The rightwingnuttery nowadays aren't as bright as they were back then.

14. I remember ... O'Neill is like this zomby
(apologies to ZombyWoof) who keeps rising from the ground, looking more rotten each time, smelling all the while like something that has been out of refrigerator for too long.

7. it was worth watching
The nightline presentation included several Vietnamese witnesses who were there and who attested to the fact that there was considerable exchange of gunfire. This reflects the official government record and proves that Lt Kerry earned his medal under fire.

That is something that neither AWOL Bush nor draft dodger Cheney could boast of.

9. Yes; shows exactly WHY the rightwing didn't believe O'Neill 30 years ago
Why O'Neill was forced into hiding 30 years ago when he tried the EXACT SAME LIES against Kerry then; O'Neill was laughed at, mocked, and ridiculed.

Watch Nightline & you'll see why.

17. It was Worth it
Especilly Teds comment at the end.
It should be a wake up call to all the other so called media that have no guts and hide behind the Constitution only for their own selfish reasons.

15. Remember... knocking Kerry's hero status isn't their ultimate goal...

The Swift liars' main goal is to attack Kerry on his anti-war activities; however, they must first muddy his war record -- since criticizing a war hero wouldn't sit well with the public.

I'm glad that some news organization (other than 'The Daily Show') is finally holding the Swift liars to a modicum of journalistic standards.

20. Rockin' and rollin' discussion here:
If you don't mind spoilers, because there was a pretty fine play by play put down by various DU'ers watching the show as it unfolded:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x1075076

As a long-time Nightline fan who was bitterly disappointed by a couple of shows in the past month or so, I can't tell you happy I was with the program tonight.

Would never have watched it had my interest not been piqued by a post on DU. I am so glad I did.

Don't miss it.
