Some comments from the "Swift Vets message board about the Cal Thomas interview. Seems the Kerry Kamp sent a guy named Hurly.
Hurley's opening remark was so weak and hackneyed that I had to type it up:

"This book is a disgrace. It's a disgrace because it's based on lies and distortions. This book is cowardly. It is cowardly because John O'Neill and his right-wing hang-monging (sic) Jerome Corsi co-author never once tried to interview any of the men who served with John Kerry when he won his silver Star, his Bronze Star and his three Purple Hearts. This book, this...the ads they're running on television and this organization, these Swift Boat Veterans for Bush, is, as John McCain has said...a...it is dishonest and it is dishonorable. And Senator McCain has called upon President Bush to condemn this ad and President Bush, we're still waiting. We would like you to condemn this ad. This is wrong, this is revisionist history, it is unfair, it's character assasination, and it...pure and simple."

1. Mr. O'Neill finally called Hurley out for "shouting him down" and Cal Thomas let him do it!

2. Cal let John O'Neill answer every charge laid by Hurley.

3. When Hurley said that O'Neill couldn't possibly have written an honest book because he (O'Neill) had never served with Kerry, Cal asked Hurley whether he (Hurley) had served with Kerry, and when told "No" questioned his basis for believing Kerry's version of events!

4. Cal recommended that people read the book in order make up their minds!
