Are you saying that the statement is factually incorrect?  Incomplete? 
Misleading?

Even Fox News doesn't believe this group.  The FOX News political 
correspondent Carl Cameron said that much of their criticism 
"dramatically conflicts with the public record."  The group's founder, 
John O'Neil wasn't even in Vietnam at the same time as Kerry.

O'Neil's beef with Kerry goes back to Kerry's speaking out against 
Vietnam war atrocities, when the Nixon administration needed vets to 
counter the growing unpopularity of the war. From my reading it looks 
like O'Neil is one of those who still believes the vietnam war was a 
good idea, and considers Kerry's speaking out against wartime 
atrocities to be a personal insult to the soldiers.
