Swift Boat Liars, Freepers, LDotters, and Zell are being PUNK'D!!!!!!!

[Walt Starr]

Some poster who calls himself Navy Chief on the swift boat liar site has been claiming he's got the goods on Kerry having a "less than honorable" discharge because Kerry made some trip to Hanoi (ever hear that one? First time for me, too). He claims he has the Secretary of the Navy who gave Kerry the less than honorable discharge and this will rove the treason. He claims Kerry later received his honorable discharge from the Carter administration because of the amnesty program.

He's trying to get the right wing bloggers, Zell Miller, and any other Republican politician to participate in a media event to out this information. He's scheduled this thing for Sunday on the steps of the capitol.

Here's the punk. There are two potential former Secretaries of the Navy he could be talking about. John H. Chafee who served in that capacity from 31 Jan 1969 to 4 May 1972 and John W. Warner who served from 4 May 1972 to 8 Apr 1974.

John H. Chafee died in 1999. John W. Warner is the Senator from Virginia.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

9. Here's the scoop

See, this Navy_Chief guy has distracted the fools into believing his line of crap. They'vev hung their hopes on this bullshit story being true!

He's told them he has the Secretary of the Navy who gave Kerry a less than honorable discharge to let the world know!

But, as I've demonstated, it's bullshit! One possible Sec. of the Navy to corroborate his bullshit story is dead. The other is Senator Kerry's peer in the Senate. If it were true, it would have come out LONG ago, like Kerry's last Senate race at the very least!

5. This is utter rubbish

When Kerry left Vietnam he was assigned to an Admiral , who's name eludes me . Then when he was offered the chance to run for office , he submitted a request for this Admiral to accept his resignation , which the Admiral did .

There was no dishonorable discharge , just more lies from the right-wingnuts

6. Maybe they'll all show up on the Capitol steps

in their drop seat jammies and bunny slippers they're all so proud of. What a sight! Amazingly not all of them are buying into this and are asking "Navy Chief" to give them more information on what he's planning before they get involved-freepers showing signs of critical thinking?

7. Corsi is a freeper

In this series of articles, Corsi has accused Kerry of "violating the legal provision against negotiating with foreign powers (18 U.S.C. 953) and the constitutional prohibition against giving support to our nation's enemies during wartime (Article III, Section 3)"; asserted that Kerry's actions as an anti-war activist amounted to treason; and claimed that "Kerry and the VVAW consistently coordinated their efforts with Communists." Corsi asserted that, in 1971, Kerry's anti-war activism amounted to a proclamation by him that "Communists were right in maintaining that American values were corrupt and that the only solution was for America to capitulate so Communism could continue to spread." As Media Matters for America has noted, Kerry was quoted expressing exactly the opposite sentiment in a December 12, 1971, Boston Globe article: "I don't like Communists," Kerry said. "In fact, I hate them. I hate all totalitarians. I'm totally dedicated to representative, pluralistic, free democracy."

On August 6, Salon.com's Joe Conason documented links between Swift Boat Veterans for Truth and the conservative online forum www.FreeRepublic.com . Conason noted that the designer of the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth website is Robert A. Hahn, a director of the Free Republic Network, a conservative activist organization affiliated with FreeRepublic.com. Scott Swett, who is listed as the webmaster of the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth website, swiftvets.com, also appeared on FOX News Channel host Sean Hannity's August 5 radio show to discuss the group. Swett posts frequently to FreeRepublic.com, using the pseudonym "Interesting Times," and is also a director of the Free Republic Network. The wintersoldier.com website to which Swett has contributed articles is a project of the Free Republic Network.

Corsi is also a frequent participant in FreeRepublic.com's online forums, posting under the pseudonym "jrlc" since 2001. (Click here to read a full set of Corsi's posts; click here to read the post in which "jrlc" admits to being Jerome Corsi.)

On FreeRepublic.com, Corsi has, among other things, said that "ragheads" are "boy buggers"; referred to "John F*ing Kerry"; called Senator Hillary Clinton a "Fat Hog"; referred to her daughter as "Chubby Chelsie" Clinton; referred to Janet Reno as "Janet Rhino"; called Katie Couric "Little Katie Communist"; suggested Kerry was "practicing Judaism"; and expressed the wish that a small plane that had crashed into a building in Los Angeles had instead crashed into the set of NBC'S The West Wing, thereby killing actor Martin Sheen.
