Proof we live in different realities: the freepers think O'Neill did great
I'm on the West Coast so I haven't seen it yet, but from what I've read here O'Neill was destroyed and comported himself like an ass.

Well: the freepers think his performance was flawless. LOL.

"O'Neill SLAYS KOPPEL. Says he's been HAD by a couple peasants from a communist country. Repeatedly states that KERYY HIMSELF said there was just one man. Says he hopes Koppel will give OUR GUYS the same chance to tell the story he gave the communist peasants.

Boo-YA!!

"Koppel was killed! O'Neil was unbelievable! The gauntlet has been thrown down. That was one of the most classic and hisotrical confrontations...Koppel was flustered, upset and stripped bare and it was extremely painful for hi...you could see him grimace as they went to a commercial...

1. They're probably right
just like they felt scrub won debates 2 & 3, (some of them thought he won the first debate) and f**k you won the veep stakes.
I mean come one...they think scrub is flawless.

2. Ritualized Insanity.
Or... Political Fundamentalism.

They are smitten with the same disease.

O'Neill looked like a lunatic to me. Fits the Freeper profile.

17. ARRRRGH!!!
KERRY has ALWAYS SAID there was ONLY ONE MAN THAT HAD A ROCKET LAUNCHER!!!

The US Navy reports ALL SAY ONE MAN WITH LAUNCHER...and OTHERS with OTHER WEAPONS.

The boats were shot full of holes.

The crew all say ONE MAN WITH LAUNCHER and OTHERS with OTHER WEAPONS.

The Vietnamese said ONE MAN WITH LAUNCHER and OTHERS with OTHER WEAPONS.

O'Neill is trying to say this was the ONLY MAN THERE AT ALL.

O'Neill ADMITTED there were OTHER CONG THERE when he talked about the boats having come under machinegun & small arms fire FROM SEVERAL DIRECTIONS.

He's trying to say that KERRY claims more than one had rocket launchers; NO KERRY HAS NEVER said that; he has ALWAYS SAID ONLY ONE CONG HAD A LAUNCHER.

4. This is why eyewhitnesses are not believable!
Seems everybody sees what they want to see instead of what's real.

12. They're probably feeling desperate for a ray of hope...
Edited on Thu Oct-14-04 11:52 PM by 4_year_nightmare
I saw "Nightline" & O'Neill was made to look like the pathetic liar that he is. I'm hoping that O'Neill makes a big stink out of having been proven wrong so that Koppel will publicize this story heavily. That would help eliminate any effectiveness O'Neill still may have.

13. What will happen when and if they figure out how delusional they are?
Their self-delusion is so great that one can't help but wonder what kind of psychological and ideological effect will be brought about if they begin to figure out how separated they are from the reality that most Americans live in.

14. Yeah well they think * won all 3 debates, that there was WMD in Iraq

Consider the source.

15. now watch as the Resuckplicans .......
..... fill up every web forum with all kinds of bushshit in pretending that the Swift Boat liars have been vindicated when they weren't.

All the more reason why you DNC members should fill up web forums with the truth. Too bad most of you are afraid of posting on those blogs. They sure could use a lot more balance with truth postings from the moderate/progressive side of the political aisle.

16. I was amused by this, too.
Posted a comment about it in the main thread about the program, after seeing Freepers boast that O'Neill had "cleaned Koppel's clock" even though Koppel supposedly was "shouting over him." Freepers are so delusional. It's amusing that so many of them can't spell O'Neill's very common last name, either. Obviously incapable of seeing what's right in front of their eyes.

OTOH, their ugly comments about the story PrimeTime did on maimed vets (I quoted some of those in the thread at http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x1073203 ) just sickened and disgusted me.

18. Let them explain how the little boy, which was really a
26 or 27 year old "strong man", who was supposedly running away, actually got shot in the chest. Witnessed by the man who saw it. I'm waiting pukes.

I guess he must me Democrat. lol.

19. Ha! That was as bad as being exposed by 60 Minutes.
When hopelessly caught in a web of lies: do not answer any questions, turn and attack the interviewer, do not stop mouthing your talking points (do not let the interviewer ask questions), use multiple distractions (books) to divert attention, hope that time passes quickly.

20. Why did Koppel have O'Neill on
when he wasn't there at all, let alone not on Kerry's boat... Are all the other swiftboat vets not making themselves available to the media?
