I don't have the time today to give your post the Fisking it deserves. The Swift Boat Vets proved long ago that they were more interested in getting Kerry than in getting it right. They have zero credibility, like the stopped clock that's right twice a day (mine just blinks, but whatever). O'Neill and the vets most responsible for decades of trying to assassinate Kerry's character are well and truly bothered by his public opposition to the war, for reasons that most of the rest of the country long ago worked past. O'Neill suggests this in that interview, but has largely opted to slime Kerry on other questions instead of taking him on the real issue, knowing that his sound lost that round in the 1970s. Like the libertarians who can't get over the New Deal, O'Neill is still fighting the War. It would have been nice to think that the silver lining to November's election results would be that we don't have to listen to this crap anymore, because it is nauseating on so many levels, but I guess that's too much to ask for.
