Swift Boat Veterans For Truth: Are They Going To Sink John Kerry?

You know what Steven? I am a pretty firm supporter of Bush, but your
continued catterwalling about this is beginning to make me rethink the
situation...(not really, but if this is how you handle the folks who are
anti-Kerry, then you might want to rethink your strategy or lack thereof).


Whoa, there. Go to your happy place. Count to ten. Calm down. These are
simple questions, they have simple answers.



Yes, it was a complete transcript of his testimony, from gavel to gavel,
to
include the questioning posed to him by the committee members. If you are
really interested in reading it yourself, do a Google on "Kerry Vietnam
testimony transcript" and you should be able to find it yourself.


There are several sources that attribute that quote to the committee. You
come along and say it didn't happen there, it happened somewhere else. If
you're a serious researcher you'll understand my questions and not take
offense at them.



Go and dig up your own trnscript and read it, then go and read a
transcript
of his 18 April 71 "Meet the Press" interview; you will find the quote of
interest in the latter, and not the former. When you have found said
transcript, see if YOU can find the quote in question--if you do, get back
to me and I'll happily apologize (I'd be just tickled if he could be shown
to have made that statement in his testimony as well as on national TV).
If
you can't you owe me one, OK?


Owe you one what?



Now toodle off and do your homework and get
back to me. Stop acting as if this is the first time a newspaper has
screwed
up in regards to the details. And that is all you are arguing--the
details,
since I have already told you that yes, he did say it, but in a different
forum from what you though it to be.


Oh, I know newspapers screw up. I see it all the time. But I don't
conclude that the newspaper has screwed up without good reason. Nor do I
conclude that a Usenet poster has screwed up without good reason. In this
case there was a conflict about a source, how can I find out which is
correct without a few probing questions? It's pretty clear you took these
questions as a personal attack. They were not.
