The Swift Boat Veterans for 'Truth' thing. It wasn't about Sen. Kerry. You know and I know and even a lot of the people who voted for Bush know that it was never about Sen. Kerry's service or medals or Vietnam or even his Vietnam protest. It was about flooding the airwaves with enough lies to get a Republican elected. That's all it was, and that's all it still is.
We know that, not only because it's been proven beyond any doubt that the Senator's service was honorable, but also because if it was about Sen. Kerry, the same Liars wouldn't be funding McCain, Romney, Giuliani and (to a lesser degree) Huckabee now. Hillary didn't serve in Vietnam, nor did Obama or Edwards or Biden. They have no medals to question or service records to smear. There are no swift boats in 2008, but there's still Swift Boat Liar money. Because the same people who went after JK in 2004 are throwing money at Republicans in 2008 with one goal. To elect Republicans by hook or by crook, with an overwhelming emphasis on the latter.

In 2004, despite the revisionists' current accounts, Senator Kerry fought the Swift Boat Liars. Maybe he didn't put enough money behind it, as he has admitted in retrospect. But really, should he have had to? Is the voting public not bright enough to figure out that a decorated Vietnam veteran trumps an AWOL frat boy with
business tie to the bin Ladens? I think they are, but even if they weren't then, they should be by now.
Here's a little flashback from 2004 that the 'mainstream' media didn't cover. Something that, in August of 2004, should have stopped the Liars in their tracks.

Whenever you see a John McCain or Mitt Romney or Rudy Giuliani TV ad, campaign sign or bumper sticker, just remember that money's coming from rich Republicans with a history of lies and deceit, and not 'the other side of the story'.
