Piling On

Fox News has a story today in which John O'Neil of the Swift Boat Vets alleges that JFK travelled twice (not once) to Paris and met with the North Vietnamese and Viet Cong delegations to the Paris Peace talks. A form of harrassment, because it is obviously another question JFK does not want to answer for the press.

Excuse me for one "I told you so" on this. I predicted in August that the Swifties would aim at this question (and that same post has a pre-Rathergate comment about how the MSM appeared to be working hand-in-glove with the Kerry campaign). Suprising, though, that the Swifties raise this now. When the Kerry campaign is busy destroying itself, why would their opponents interfere? Excerpt:

"'We've had presidents who have served in the military. We've had presidents who have never served in the military. But we've never had an American president who met with the enemy in a time of war while a naval officer in reserve status. Inconceivable,' said John O'Neill, a key member of the anti-Kerry Swift Boat Veterans for Truth."
