Swift liars lie about everything (Media Matters 2004)

The lies of John O'Neill: An MMFA analysis; Swift Boat Vets' founder has told repeated untruths about himself, Swift Boat Vets, Unfit for Command

Snip...

O'Neill lied when he said Swift Boat Vets "have no partisan ties"; member in new ad was Bush-Cheney campaign official

Snip...

That's a lie. The new Swift Boat Veterans for Truth advertisement, unveiled August 20, features Ken Cordier criticizing Kerry. Cordier is identified in the ad as "P.O.W., Dec. 1966 - Mar. 1973."

But Cordier isn't just a former prisoner of war. He was also a member of the Bush-Cheney '04 National Veterans Steering Committee until controversy over his dual role with the campaign and the SBVT led to his resignation. The Bush-Cheney '04 campaign website suddenly -- mysteriously -- omits Cordier's name from the list of Steering Committee members, presumably in an effort to hide ties between the campaign and this 527 advertising. But images from a cached copy of the page, as well as a list of committee members, prove his membership.

O'Neill lied about being a "Republican from Texas..."
O'Neill lied about his political involvement...
O'Neill denied making thousands of dollars in contributions to GOP; FEC records contradict him...
O'Neill lied about ties to Nixon White House...
On Crossfire, O'Neill claimed that there "are more than 60 people that served with John Kerry that contributed to this book..."
O'Neill lied about Jerome Corsi's role in Unfit for Command...

more...

1. He'll keep lying and fools will continue to believe those lies
until somebody has the GUTS to sue his lying ass for slander.

The point isn't even winning the suit. The point is tying up his resources. The point is gaining subpoena power. The point is tracing all his dirty money, all the way back to 1972. The point is exposing this piece of shit for who and what he is. The point is exposing this piece of shit's backers, ever last one of them, as anti American scumbags.

Kerry is too spineless to do it, apparently.
