Kerry's bio and O'Neill's bullshit on Nightline

[LynnTheDem]

O'Neill tonight said Kerry's own bio proves there was ONLY ONE VIETCONG in the village.

Then he read the actual part in Kerry's bio;

"Thank god ONLY ONE of the VietCong HAD A ROCKET LAUNCHER...imagine if there had been more."

So from that, O'Neill says Kerry was LYING when he said there were MORE THAN ONE VC.

WRONG.

Kerry's bio says what the US Navy reports all say what the SB crewmen all said what the Vietnamese said;

ONLY ONE VC HAD A ROCKET LAUNCHER.

The OTHER VC in that village that day had machine guns and small arms.

1. Kerry was there. These Vietnamese were there

where was O'Neil and the SBV liars?

[wtmusic]

2. Email the bastards

[e-mail]

Nightline --

Very disappointed you are lending credence to John O'Neill's trash talk about John Kerry's war record. John O'Neill wasn't there. Why are you quoting him? This is not only irresponsible but bordering on propaganda.

Nightline ain't what it used to be.

4. Trust me, they gave O'Neill no credence.

They let him look like a raving lunatic in front of the whole country.

[feistydem]

5. O'Neill only appealed to the rightwingnuts tonight. He looked and sounded

downright C-R-A-Z-Y and weirdly jealous of Kerry. He's a little man who was effectively castrated by Ted Koppel tonight.

8. If you email, email to commend them

They did a great job, investigated the facts and then let O'Neil have a tantrum on national TV.

Bye, Knuckle-dragger!!!!!!!! :hi:

Have fun wearing your John O'Neill Slug costume for Halloween!

[LynnTheDem]

19. NONE of them were THERE you moron.

ALL the SB crewmen who WERE ACTUALLY THERE tell it EXACTLY as Kerry did and EXACTLY as the US Navy official reports say.

So why would YOU believe ANY NUMBER of people who WERE NOT THERE???

22. FOLKS Hit the CNN Poll about Cheney's Daughter

I don't have enough posts to be able to post a new thread, somebody please pass this up where there is more visibility. They are asking if Kerry was out of bounds to mention Mary Cheney? Only 65% no. Let's swamp 'em!! -K

[NVMojo]

17. i sent one too,

thanks.


After hearing Michael Moore dress down the national media for not doing their jobs and reporting the truths about the corruption of this administration, I hardly have any patience for this crap at this time.

They are complicit with the Bush Administration for covering up the lies of this past four years. Why did I have to go see F9-11 to find out what happened to the black voters in Florida? Why did I have to watch it to learn the numerous other things that were revealed in that movie about this administration? The media are whores. They are not upholding the true reason the First Amendment is the First Amendent. I really am sick of it.

3. They failed reading comprehension

12. Does it matter?

That O'Neill WASN'T THERE!!!!

And the original post is in full compliance. The poster didn't say anything at all to any other poster. As opposed to me, who thinks you're a dead man trolling.

Bye bye bye.

[txindy]

13. We forget to spray for freepers, again!

Whose turn was it, anyway? ;)

[wtmusic]

15. If you have a problem with John Kerry being a decorated war hero

and W being an AWOL wussy who used Dad's connections to evade the draft, please tell us what it is...

[Lilli]

16. Minus 10 points

to my fellow newbie for diversionary posting. :)

Author of action report is irrelevant to O'Neill's misstatement of the facts.

But since you asked, I see no problem with it. AND since it appears to be supported by witnesses - thanks Niteline! - I'm not sure why you're asking?

14. VC mixed in with civilians. Who knew how many men and women were full or

part time VC?

[Liberal Gramma]

24. I wasn't there either, so

that gives my viewpoint equal credence. I say Kerry rocked!

25. Nightline was FABULOUS last night, because FINALLY someone

put O'Neill in his place. O'Neill just kept hammering away at the old, unproven shit, and saying the Vietnamese peasants can't be trusted because they're "in a closed society, in a closed society, in a closed society ..." (he sounded like a freaking ROBOT).

Anyway, Ted wasn't having ANY of it ... kept hammering at O'Neill -- "why can't you at least admit the possibility," Koppel said, that these peasants, who were THERE, who SAW the whole thing, who don't even know who John Kerry is, who have no reason to tell anything but the truth, might be telling the truth.

O'Neill kept holding up different books and yelling (refusing to listen to Ted's questions) till Ted finally said, "Please stop holding up books!!!" And O'Neill just wouldn't shut the fuck up long enough for Ted to ask him anything, so Ted finally just cut him off.

O'Neill made a total freaking ASS of himself on that show. The peasants said what they SAW -- THEY WERE THERE ... they saw a firefight with lots of Vietcong firing at the Americans. The one guy with a rocket launcher wasn't some pathetic teen, the peasants said -- he was a 26-year-old man, and was a really strong guy.

And there were weapons stored in the part of the village that was destroyed (though the destruction didn't get the weapons).

MEANWHILE, George Bush was goofing off, drinking his brains out and doing drugs, and pussing out on his Guard service.
