BUCHANAN: OK. All right.
Let‘s bring—Ted Sampley, go ahead.Â
SAMPLEY: Well, as far as journalistic standards, all you have got is go do is go back to the year 2000 to “The Boston Globe.â€Â And you will find that Kerry‘s crew—this is when the first issue of Kerry committing a war crime by shooting a Viet Cong that had already been hit by an M-60 machine gun and then twin 50s, .50-calibers—his crew told a different story back then. And now they have changed it to fit the way Kerry wants the story go. So that‘s journalistic standards. Go there.Â
BUCHANAN:Â What did they say?
(CROSSTALK)
O‘DONNELL: Ted, after you were convicted of assault and battery on a Senator McCain staffer and you said that Senator McCain was a member of the KGB, is there anything about that that you would like to retract to show us what standards you want to use today?
SAMPLEY:Â If you would like to invite me on this show to talk about
John McCain, let‘s do it. I can back everything I say about
(CROSSTALK)
O‘DONNELL: We have to talk about you. When you come forward to criticize someone else, we then have to talk about you.Â
(CROSSTALK)
O‘DONNELL: You said John McCain was brainwashed and is a “Manchurian Candidate†and is an agent of another government. That‘s who we now have. That‘s who we are sharing this broadcast with right now. You‘ve said those things, haven‘t you?
SAMPLEY: Let‘s ask about John Kerry in Kansas in 1971 when he participated—or his organization participated in a plot or discussion of a plot to kill U.S. senators. That was in the past.

Is this man a professional smear merchant for Bush or is it just an amazing coincidence that he's a veteran willing to publicly denounce chickenhawk Bush's decorated opponents in two successive campaigns?
Sort of taken aback, I googled Sampley today and came across John McCain's harsh condemnation of him:
Statement of Senator John McCain:
"I strongly caution reporters who may be contacted by or are interested in Mr. Ted Sampley and the various organizations he claims to represent, and his opinions on the subject of Senator Kerry, or any subject for that matter, to investigate thoroughly Mr. Sampley's background and history of spreading outrageous slander and other disreputable behavior before inadvertently lending him or his allegations any credibility.
I am well familiar with Mr. Sampley, and I know him to be one of the most despicable people I have ever had the misfortune to encounter. Â I consider him a fraud who preys on the hopes of family members of missing servicemen for his own profit. Â He is dishonorable, an enemy of the truth, and despite his claims, he does not speak for or represent the views of all but a few veterans. Â The many veterans I know would think it a disgrace to be considered a comrade or supporter of Ted Sampley."

Kerry wants you to vote for him because he is going to create more jobs, make health care more accessible to all rather than few and he is going to involve other countries in fight against terrorism so we donot have to suffer the burnden of 90% of the cost and send an army which is predominently American lives. SO he is talking much more than his vietnam war medals, if only you would care to listen. And if only repub. campaign will stopping cutting his sentences short and interpret them as they please.
