Kerry “Patriot Project” Punks (UPDATES)

Last Saturday, I wrote about this “Kerry Group’s ‘actionable libel’?” Today, the so-called Patriot Project’s James Boyce punked.

First, he mentions his offending blog post at the Huffington Post. But, Boyce doesn’t mention that apparently the Huffington Post has blinked at Boyce’s irresponsible innuendos, and pulled his post from its website. Nor does Boyce mention that his own website thought better of his scurrilous innuendos and the Patriot Project didn't even post it.

Second, Boyce continues his irresponsibility by putting words in Swiftee John O’Neill’s mouth that came from mine, that the Patriot Project “may be approaching ‘actionable libel.’ “ What John O’Neill said to me and I quoted was that Boyce’s accusations are a “complete makeup.” It seems that Boyce, the Patriot Project and the Huffington Post agree, pulled their posts, before they do have to lose a suit for “actionable libel.”

Third, Boyce’s only puny comeback is to cite an August 31, 2004 payment to John O’Neill of $50,000 to “reimburse media training.” Laughable, when O’Neill funded the first tens of thousands of dollars of Swiftboat Veterans for Truth out of his personal pocket, literally within days of contributing his kidney to his ill wife then took many months away from his highly lucrative law practice, and contributed his giant royalties from Unfit For Command to charity.

Then, to cap Boyce’s effrontery, Boyce begs readers to send contributions to the Patriot Project! Yeah, throw more money down this rathole for a punk!

John O’Neill just emailed me:
“I guess this is how a weasel retracts and disappears into the shadows or to Cambodia for Christmas (as the case may be)."

James Boyce, and John Kerry too, you should embroider those words on your crests of punkdom.

UPDATE:
A fellow moonbat of James Boyce, Taylor Marsh, also affiliated with the Patriot Project, is pulled in by Boyce’s demons. Marsh supports Boyce’s payola innuendo, saying “that Boyce used public information to prove his post over at Huffington Post.” What neither Boyce nor Marsh bothered to find out is the facts. Boyce charged:

This past February 6, 2006, the Swift Boat Veterans For Truth made a $100,000 payment to Admiral Roy Hoffman one of the key defamers of John Kerry. This was on top of a $10,000 payment made in 2005, another $100,000 payment to the Vietnam Veterans Legacy Foundation… With money like this being paid to anyone who is willing to follow orders and lie on cue, is it any wonder that this past May another Admiral who was involved in the Swift Boat lies, Admiral Bud Schachte of Charleston, South Carolina, a man who claimed he was dragged into the Swift Boat mess against his wishes, came out and did a newspaper article ready to "re-engage John Kerry" in the Swift Boat debate.
After all, with his fellow Admiral clearing a solid six figures a year on top of his Naval pension, Bud Schachte certainly wasn't going to let opportunity, or should I say $100,000, pass him by.

In fact, there was a $10,000 and a $100,000 payment from the Swiftees not to Admiral Hoffman but, as shown on the reports Boyce claims to have examined, to the Admiral Hoffman Foundation that were loans that were repaid from Unfit For Command royalties, which were donated to the Foundation to the tune of over $1.3 million (with admin and reporting costs of about $40,000) that went to grants to the families of badly wounded military servicepeople. ---- Question: Where’s John and Teresa’s hundreds of millions of dollars? Likely large amounts to the fools at the Patriot Project trying to resurrect John Kerry, and Boyce being paid by it.

Marsh is himself even too lazy to use a search engine, or to read my bio at Democracy-Project, as he wonders, “But something else about the Democracy Project is that they evidently are close enough to have O'Neill's ear. “ Marsh may be enlightened to know that John and I have been friends since 1971.

As to Marsh’s revelation that the Huffington Post is still carrying Boyce’s errors: It was removed several hours ago, and now reappears. Does the Huffington Post or James Boyce care to affirm Boyce’s charge-accusation-innuendo? That should play to their detriment in court.

These defenders of the Kerry self-imaginings demonstrate they are in the correct leaky boat with Kerry.

UPDATE #2: I just received a copy of this email from the Swiftee who served as Treasurer of the Swiftboat Veterans for Truth:

Despite great personal expense Admiral Hoffmann only received just over $1,000 in travel reimbursements in the nearly two years of SBVFT existence.

SBVFT made two donations to the Admiral Roy F. Hoffmann Foundation. A $10,000 donation was made, as was a $100,000 donation, which was later reimbursed back to SBVFT by the Foundation. In the interim the Foundation used the money for payments to soldiers and Marines who had suffered grievous wounds during the fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan. To think that those funds were used by any individuals is a despicable distortion slandering honorable men.
