Swift Vet archive

Before Swift Vets reached the mainstream media, I was over at their site message board arguing with their misleading slander . Quite often my posts were censored, despite their earnest, and polite nature. I would like to post at length about the theory of this being part of "The victor is always right" Karl Rove's handiwork. You only need to look at what this guy did to Senator John McCain when Bush ran against him. More conflagratory info here*.

(* I've seen many aspects of this link reported in numerous other sources, and although I cannot completely vouch for it's veracity, it seems very factual.)

They were attempting to rewrite history on the Swift boats message board. As an example of how the dialogue went, here's an excerpt from my response (airjair) to another "Swift" vet poster in one thread:

You will find that the reason I believe these things to NOT be lies will be found (in part) here: Tiger Force: A New Report Uncovers Multiple Atrocities Committed By An Elite Platoon in 1967 Vietnam

The gentlemen that created the Tiger Force report were awarded a Pulitzer. If you think I am being misinformed by this source, I would appreciate your attempts to disabuse me of these notions.

I will get to the rest of your alleged lies, if you care to do this minimal task.

Top 1000 things for a 13 year old to know

Ha. I read one of this guy's Seth Godin books. He distributed it free on the internet, and charged for it on Amazon. It was worth reading.

Here's his top 20 most important things for a 13 year to know. I like this one:

19. Pick one: how to paint, write a poem, compose a song or juggle really well.

For those of you who might not know which one I chose.
