The Dick Cavett Show Defense
Greyhawk
Many discussions of the feud between Swift vets over qualifications of one of their number for the Presidency of the United States seem to drift to this point: The Swift vets anger towards John Kerry is long running, nothing new, and the basis of their opposition to him today.
As though accomplishing great feats of investigative reporting, many will add that John O'Neill was an opponent of John Kerry's years ago, and that the two squared off an obscure Dick Cavett show.
Since most of the numerous veterans groups against Kerry are quite aware of this (to the point of actually hosting transcripts of that show on their web sites), exactly how is this argument in Kerry's favor?
And by all means, read the whole linked transcript, commercial messages and all.
Update: Thanks Professor! The video is available here. (It's much more effective in the original, haughty, yet Kennedy-esque accent. Whatever happened to that accent, by the way?)

So let me get this straight:
"They're calling Kerry a coward, but really it's just because of his treasonous post war actions!"
Got it. Lying b@%#rds.

So, let me get this straight. The SwiftVets never did like Kerry too much so their opinion shouldn't matter? I've hated the son of a bitch with a passion for over 30 years. Are they going to decide next I shouldn't be allowed to vote? Maybe they can bring in some French election observers to make sure I don't. I really, truly hope I'm wrong, but is the U.S. heading toward an inauguration day coup d'etat? (No. that was not a suggestion. I'm too old and tired for anything like that.)
