This Texas oilman is just oozing with slime. One of, if not the biggest funders of the Smear Boaters who attacked Kerry's record in the 2004 election (nevermind that their hero avoided the ing war like the plague) has challenged anyone to disprove just one of the charges of the Smear Boaters:

Of course Kerry has responded, rather well I might add:
| quote: | Mr. Pickens,
It has come to my attention through the accounts of individuals who were in attendance at the American Spectator’s Robert L. Bartley Dinner & 40th Anniversary Gala as well as through the public accounts, that you personally "staked one million dollars" that "no one" could "prove anything the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth said in 2004 was false" (RedState.Com) and offered "a million dollars to anyone who could prove wrong anything the Swiftboat Veterans charged about Kerry." (AmericanThinker.com)
I welcome the opportunity to prove that you are a man of your word and that the so-called "Swift Boat Veterans for Truth" lied. While I am prepared to show they lied on allegation after allegation, you have generously offered to pay one million dollars for just one thing that can be proven false. I am prepared to prove the lie beyond any reasonable doubt. |
This is my favorite part of the letter coming up. Not only is Kerry challenging the greasy oilman, he's asking the little f$cker to put the money Kerry will earn towards a RIGHTFUL cause of truly supporting the troops:
| quote: | I would request that your check be made payable to the Paralyzed Veterans of America which is doing incredible work every day to meet the needs of veterans returned home from Iraq and Afghanistan. My hope is that by sending this money to such a dedicated organization – founded for veterans, by veterans — some good can come out of the ugly smears and lies of the orchestrated campaign you bankrolled in 2004 in an attempt to discredit my military record and the record of the men who served alongside me on the Swift Boats of the Mekong Delta.
I would be more than happy to travel to Dallas to meet with you in a mutually agreed upon public forum, or would invite you to join me in Massachusetts for a public dialogue and then together we could visit the Paralyzed Veterans of America in Norwood and see firsthand how we can put your money to good work for our veterans.
I look forward to setting up a visit at the earliest possible, mutually convenient time. I trust that you are a man of your word, having made a very public challenge at a major Washington dinner, and look forward to taking you up on this challenge.
Sincerely,
John F. Kerry
United States Senator

So not only is Kerry taking on his slimy little challenge anywhere and anytime, but he wants that money to go towards truly helping our veterans. Of course the thought always occurs about Kerry shoulda demonstrated this backbone back in '04. I know, and I agree to no end. Regardless, he's showing it now.
Oh, and just for historical purposes, Kerry did sign that darn 180 form thingy:
