Does anybody have a link to a recent transcript of O'Neill on TV?
I understand he's making the rounds again, and I'd love to see exactly what lies he thinks he has left to stand on.

Some have been less than enthusiastic about the Democratic spokesperson's response to him as well, and I think we could deconstruct the 'debate' from a transcript and suggest better ways to come back at him.

One of the other liars would be okay too, but O'Neill is the master of the snowjob, as I've said!

Anybody got a recent transcript?

2. Here's the link -- It reveals Jim Lehrer's awful pro-Bush bias
http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/politics/july-dec04/vietnam_8-19.html

Scroll down a bit to this header:
Debating the charges

Here is an example of Lehrer's total bias. Note how he aids and abets O'Neill's lies and then blocks any rebuttal:

Tour of duty

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. In our unit, we never had anyone leave Vietnam short of having a major... being wounded in a serious way or dying. He is the only one that we can find. <yeah, I'm sure they really tried hard>

He left in about four months <LIE!, Kerry served 2 tours>, much short of the twelve-month normal tour of duty that people serve. He did that on the basis of having three Purple Hearts. I debated him in the Cavot show attended by Mr. Oliphant.


Lehrer then allowed no rebuttal and changed the subject
