Question: Brazille on Crossfire said that George Elliott of swiftboat fame
retracted his statements used for the swiftboat jerks testimony yesterday on the Boston Globe. Then she said that today he retracted the retraction. Anybody knows what is going on?

3. And
the SmearBoatVets via Drudge claim he says the Globe article wasn't accurate, but, don't provide a quote from him.

7. This is not from Elliott himself, though. Those idiots are just showing
the signed affidavits. Elliot said that he is sorry he signed them.

"Lieutenant Commander George Elliott said in an interview that he had made a ''terrible mistake" in signing an affidavit that suggests Kerry did not deserve the Silver Star -- one of the main allegations in the book"

http://www.boston.com/news/nation/articles/2004/08/06/veteran_retracts_criticism_of_kerry/


So, those idiots are pissed that one of their guys has a guilty conscience about lying and think showing the signed affidavit (which Elliott says signing it in the first place was a terrible mistake) to prove that it is true. Oh, please :crazy:

5. What a bunch of Morans!
I think it's more telling that O'Neal has an axe to grind on Kerry from the ass-whupping he got trying to be Chuck Colson's Pit Bull back in the 70's when Nixon wanted Kerry stopped.

That's the point I use, the one that has people saying "No shit? the same guy?"

10. He must have gotten a phone call from O'Neill
and was urged to get back on board since the ads were airing and the book is coming out. Wouldn't want to hurt those sales. Maybe they offered him a bigger cut.

12. Sounds to me like he's nothing but a cheap two-bit whore.
I now apologize to all other cheap two-bit whores ...
