Bill O'Reilly condemns SmearVets attacks:

O'Reilly: Kerry "demonstrated provable valor"
Meanwhile, substantial debate over the U.S. presidential campaign continues to flounder in debate over a war three decades ago. While Fox News Channel's star anchor Bill O'Reilly has expressed no great love for John Kerry, as the election season matures he seems to have decided there is little wisdom in leveling blatant lies and "bitter personal attacks" against political opponents. In his latest column on his personal Web site, he says the anti-Kerry group Swift Boat Veterans for Truth is "way out of line" and warns that its attacks on Kerry's Vietnam record may backfire.

"I believe Jim Rassmann when he says that Kerry saved his life by pulling him out of a Vietnam river while under fire. Rassmann is a former Green Beret, a former police officer and a long time registered Republican until earlier this year. If he says John Kerry is a hero, nobody should doubt it. Rassmann has earned the right to be trusted and insulting his testimony is way out of line …

"It is absolutely wrong for Americans to condemn Kerry's war record because he demonstrated provable valor. However, those who distrust him do deserve to be heard although facts not emotion should be demanded.

"I think the Swift Boat political advertisement calling Kerry a charlatan is in poor taste, and if this kind of thing continues it might well backfire on the Kerry haters. Most Americans are fair minded, and bitter personal attacks do not go down well with folks who are not driven by partisanship."
