John O'Neill's heroism?

[PragMantisT]

With veterans coming forward to proclaim John Kerry's heroism and vilify the swiftboat scumbags, where are John O'Neill's peers and fellow veterans proclaiming his heroism? Is he such a pussy that the only fight he was ever in was on the Dick Cavett show? How can anyone take him seriously with no evidence of his activities during the war. One needn't look too far for someone who was there to stand up for John Kerry. Why are they only able to find scumbags to smear Kerry, and no one to say how heroic and honorable O'Neill is?

Is there anyone who knows what O'Neill did in the war? Did he do anything heroic? Is he jealous that heroes get attention?

1. He was just recruited by Nixon to hound Kerry back in 1971. And,

unbelievably, in 2004, shrubco gets the same guy to hound him now, just like they got all the old Repub holdovers from Nixon and other administrations out of their sarcophagi to form their cabinet of Dr. Caligari.

I'm sure he was chosen because he was a willing Repub shill, and from the same kind of unit, and had some decorations.

2. Nixon protege?

Wasn't KKKKarl Rove a Nixon protege? Or do I have that wrong?

3. I don't remember... doubt if Karl goes back that long though, was probably

an undergrad at best during Nixon. I'm sure googling will come up with any number of biography stories about his background.

One thing for sure--he became so enamored of being a political dirty trick genius during college that he dropped out to pursue it full time. Now he's some kind of professor of political science at U of TX or some other school in TX, without even having a bachelor's.

4. I'd like to...

see the citation for that cheezey toupee he wears. It looks like a giant arugula on his head.

6. When Kerry left Viet Nam...

... John O'Neill took over as commander of Kerry's boat. So, he was in VN, and certainly was doing the same sort of duty as Kerry.

As for Rove, he learned his tricks under Donald Segretti in the dirty tricks division during the `72 election.

8. That mousey slimesuck has never been closely associated with

any hero types. They tend to shun losers like him because in combat, their lives depend on persons of character to watch their backs.
