Power Line: "Kerrying" Our Soldiers
Scott Johnson: "It's great to hear from John O'Neill again."
Swift Boat Veteran John O'Neill is holding John Kerry to account once more, this time for declaring that he, Kerry, "won't stand for the Swift-Boating of Jack Murtha!"
O'Neill's answer:
"As one of the 254 members of Mr. Kerry's unit in Vietnam who belonged to Swift Boat Veterans and POWs for Truth, I found Mr. Kerry's comments most ironic.
"To us, Mr. Kerry's comments meant that no one should do to Mr. Murtha that which Mr. Kerry did to all of us and our fellow Vietnam veterans, living and dead. Mr. Kerry's disgraceful comments on many occasions in 1971 (while we were locked in combat), claiming falsely that we were "murdering" hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese and committing rape and mayhem on a daily basis, are a part of the public record for which he has never apologized. This might be called 'Kerrying' our soldiers."
Affirmative.
