LOL...O Neil is a republican party hack...Nixon found him to counter Kerry 30 years ago. Now he re-emerges, to say that Kerry is unfit and that the Democrats should field another candidate. He says that this is non partisan, and that they do not support any candidate for President. All they want is for the dems to get a new candidate. How can they say this with a straight face! Every one of those guys is a Bush supporter and many are republican hacks. Why do they lie? Say they are non partisan...and do not support Bush? It's clear that they are telling one lie after another. They lie because after $60 million dollars worth of negative ads, Bush still trails Kerry by 4 points. Oh yes please mister democrats...please get a new candidate... Give me a break! Orca

John Kerry's Nemesis John O'Neill Talks on The Glenn Beck Show April 23, 2004 John O'Neill, the Vietnam veteran who debated John Kerry on the Dick Cavett show in 1971, made a surprise call to syndicated talk show host Glenn Beck on Thursday to challenge Kerry's claim of American atrocities in Vietnam. O'Neill served in the same Naval unit as Kerry, and succeeded command from Kerry of the same five-person craft he commanded, PCF-94, a part of Coastal Division 11. On April 22, 1971, John Kerry spoke before the House Foreign Relations Committee in regard to his service as a veteran of the war in Vietnam. Kerry used his moments before the Committee to blast his fellow servicemen in Vietnam. "At times," said Kerry of his fellow servicemen, "they had personally raped, cut off ears, cut off heads, taped wires from portable telephones to human genitals and turned up the power, cut off limbs, blown up bodies, randomly shot at civilians, razed villages in fashion reminiscent of Ghengis Khan, shot cattle and dogs for fun, poisoned food stocks, and generally ravaged the countryside of South Vietnam,in addition to the normal ravage of war and the normal and very particular ravaging which is done by the applied bombing power of this country." "That's why so many of us in Costal Division 11 are angry at John Kerry," O'Neill told Beck on his radio program. "Because he came back to the United States and, at least for a time, falsely presented the image of war crimes in order to self-promote himself." "Did you see any war crimes?" Beck asked point-blank. "No," said O'Neill. "Not only did I not see any - there were none. They never occurred. We used tremendous self-restraint." O'Neill has denied any involvement in political parties for the past 20 years. Instead, his interest is particular to debunking Kerry's claims of American atrocities in Vietnam. "What you're talking about now is the possibility of a guy becoming commander-in-chief of all U.S. forces, whose action when he came back to the United States (from Vietnam) was to lie about the people that he served with...." Beck indicated that he had heard rumors of American atrocities in Vietnam, and invited listeners who had been in Vietnam to call and discuss their experiences. Leaving the phone lines of his nationally syndicated show open for about 90 minutes and speaking with dozens of Vietnam veterans, only one person claimed to have witnessed atrocities of the type described by Kerry as occurring on a "day-to-day basis". "I hunted (Kerry) down in the summer of 1971 to debate him," O'Neill recalled. "Because I knew he was lying, and he knew he was lying about it.... I was there for a long time, and nothing like that ever happened. I'm telling you that we lost people...because we were unwilling to use unrestrained force (and) that we would get shot at and not shoot back. That we would go into areas with loud speakers and get shot at over and over again instead of going in with machine guns." Beck asked what Kerry's motivation for his claims of American atrocities may have been. "There was a book he wrote that his campaign is desperately trying to hide from the American people . It's called "The New Soldier".... (Kerry) was simply riding the crest of the anti-war movement." "We are terrified that a guy like Kerry could be commander-in-chief," said O'Neill. mensnewsdaily.com

O'Neill has already been exposed as a Colson-trained political hitman. He also never served with Kerry, he totally lied about that, and he is definitely connected to the Bush campaign. He lied about that too. Any man who says Kerry was "no hero" in Nam is just plain lying. You cannot change Kerry's heroism. It is solid, proven and well documented. It was real and it happened. O'Neill sounds like a traitor attacking Kerry. Obviously he is just a partisan rightwinger looking for any way to help maintain one-party extremist rightwing rule. Same thing he was trying to do with Colson.
