AP runs sickening O'Neill ass kiss article, with a Democrat defending him!
This year, in intensive care after donating a kidney to his wife, O'Neill watched on television as John Kerry emerged as the leading Democratic presidential candidate. This time, O'Neill wrote a best-selling book that helped unleash a national furor.

Co-written with Jerome R. Corsi, "Unfit for Command" has rallied Vietnam veterans who question Kerry's heroism, deplore his anti-war activism and want to deny him the presidency.

Gerry Birnberg, chairman of the Harris County Democratic Committee in Houston, has known O'Neill more than 20 years, and while he believes O'Neill is wrong about Kerry, he does not see a Republican plot. O'Neill simply "has intense personal antipathy" for Kerry, he says.

He describes his political involvement as minimal. He says he voted for Al Gore (news - web sites) in 2000, has given $7,000 to Republicans in recent years but also $20,000 to Democratic candidates for Houston mayor and councilman.

This article is trying to make O'Neill into a hero who just wants to set the record straight.

With a media like this how are we going to win?

2. Who is the head of AP and what is his email address?
This is oh so typical of their fawning coverage of everything Bush. Time we all expressed our request for cessation of the blatant shilling and make a request for balance.
