ALERT: Thurlow To Appear on NBC Nightly News in 20 minutes
Larry Thurlow, whose accusations against Kerry were recently entirely disproven by his own military records, will be appearing on NBC Nightly News tonight to "tell his story."

It's basically going to be free air time for the Swift Boat Vets. There will be nobody from the Kerry campaign to counter his accusations.

Call up NBC Nightly News and protest the media whoring out to the Bush campaign.

But instead, Dick Cheney going after the LCR vote.

5. This is an outrage
He is perhaps the most discredited of all. How on earth can he get time on a prime time network news program?

7. Summary
The report went way too easy on Thurlow. The reporter hammered him on the bullet holes in his boat, but let him get away with it by lying through his teeth.

Rassmann only got to say a few words, and the report overall was biased totally in Thurlow's favor.

That creep is a real disgrace.

8. Yes but she did say to him
that in order for him to be right, everyone else--all the witnessess, reports, etc. would have to be wrong. I don't think he came off as very credible.

10. Did they mention Robert Lambert?
Edited on Tue Aug-24-04 05:58 PM by brentspeak
Lambert was Thurlow's own swiftmate, and it was he who is listed as the eyewitness on Thurlow's Bronze Medal award recommendation. Thurlow has stupidly claimed that it was Kerry's version of events that explains the mention of gunfire.

12. 2 points.
There are federal laws that protect the privacy of medical records. Clinton signed it. Its those papers that you sign when you go to see a doctor. My question...How did Lisa get Kerry's permission to get his medical records?

The other point, contusions in the same location as abrasions, supersede those abrasions even when they bleed.
