Too little, too late for John Kerry
It gives one pause for concern as to why these charges were not more vociferously challenged during the campaign.
[ QUOTE ] Mr. Kerry's defenders have received help from unlikely sources, including some who were originally aligned with the Swift boat group but later objected to its accusations against Mr. Kerry. One of them, Steve Hayes, was an early member of the group. A former sailor, he was a longtime friend and employee of William Franke, one of the group's founders, and he supported the push to have Mr. Kerry release his military files. But Mr. Hayes came to believe that the group was twisting Mr. Kerry's record. "The mantra was just 'We want to set the record straight,' " Mr. Hayes said this month. "It became clear to me that it was morphing from an organization to set the record straight into a highly political vendetta. They knew it was not the truth." Mr. Hayes broke with the group, ending a 35-year friendship with Mr. Franke, and voted for Mr. Kerry. He has provided a long interview to Mr. Kerry's supporters, backing their version of the incident for which Mr. Kerry received the Bronze Star.

Re: Too little, too late for John Kerry
I never understood why someone would tout the fact that they racked up 3 purple hearts in 3 months and booked it out of there. I would probably be ashamed of that and try as best I can to cover it up entirely.

Re: Too little, too late for John Kerry
It's difficult to isolate fact and fancy. Two things I am sure of, John O'Neil really hates Kerry, deep down FU hate. It's basis may be nothing more than Kerry's post war activism, I'll never know.
The other is my absolute certainty that the swift boat veterans swung the election. For that I am in their debt.

It never ceases to amaze me how the Chickenhawks (i.e. Dick Cheney, who had "other priorities" like his two DUI's and five deferments) get a free pass, while Kerry takes heat for alleged embellishment, in spite of compelling testimony from guys like Green Beret Jim Rassman, a lifelong republican, who said that Kerry came back in his swift boat amid enemy fire and pulled him out of the Mekong Delta.
