Sinclair stations to air swiftvet special

By WND Staff

A 30-minute television special featuring Swift Boat Veterans and POWs for Truth, the group challenging Sen. John Kerry’s version of his war record and his anti-war activities, is airing in 16 markets in eight battleground states, according to a non-profit Florida group buying the broadcast time.


Campaign Truth, responsible for producing the show, has added Fox network stations in the Ohio cities of Dayton and Columbus, owned by Sinclair Broadcast Group, the television chain at the center of controversy over the airing of another anti-Kerry documentary, “Stolen Honor.”

The broadcasts will begin sometime after Fox’s Sunday NFL preview show, Campaign Truth said.

The special, “Unfit to Lead,” also is being aired on PAX network affilates in Cleveland and in seven other states, including Florida, where it will be seen in five major markets, Orlando, Jacksonville, Tampa, Miami and West Palm Beach.

In addition, it is scheduled in Denver; Minneapolis-St. Paul; Cleveland; Milwaukee; Des Moines, Iowa; Cedar Rapids, Iowa; Scranton, Pa.; and Charleston, W.Va.

The listing of times and stations can be found here.

The show, hosted by swiftboat vet spokesman John O’Neill, also is available exclusively to WorldNetDaily readers online for a limited time.

It features many of the men whose testimonies about Kerry were heard in the controversial advertisements played in key swing states over the past several months.

The broadcasts in Florida and Cleveland are being promoted with newspaper ads.

In the special, one of Kerry’s former superior officers, Capt. George Elliott, says he believes Kerry should have been removed from command.

Elliott was commander of Coastal Division 11, where Kerry spent his four months of active duty in Vietnam.

“If I knew then what I know now, he would have been thrown out of my command and probably recommended for removal from the Navy,” Elliott says of Kerry.
