Reply #45: It's the TV that gives them the exposure to millions

The Swift Boat Liars are all over TV.

Here is how Jim Lehrer gave O'Neill the run of PBS last night:

JIM LEHRER: Is it your position that what John Kerry did was special and abhorrent beyond the norm in terms of medals, in other words, that he personally and in some kind of craven way lied to get these decorations, unlike other people who followed different kinds of behavior?

JOHN O'NEILL: Absolutely <LIE>. In our unit, we never had anyone leave Vietnam short of having a major... being wounded in a serious way or dying <Really?>. He is the only one that we can find <yeah!>.

He left in about four months, much short of the twelve-month normal tour of duty that people serve <outright LIE, Kerry was on his second tour>. He did that on the basis of having three Purple Hearts. I debated him in the Cavot <sic> show attended by Mr. Oliphant.

Lehrer allowed NO rebuttal to O'Neill's lies, and instead went on to ask about stuff in the 70's.
