Reply #10: Was Swift Boat Vets fiasco a trap?

[redandstinky]

Did Kerry set up the Bush campaign?

Just a hypothesis, but, according to recent TV news reports, the Swifty guys especially O'Neill have been doing this smear on Kerry ever since he entered politics. In fact, their tune has been the same one for 30 years.

Now just what if Kerry knew that if he emphasized his military record, the Bush campaign would give the nod to these Swifty guys and they would try to pull the same stunt. As this fiasco winds down, it's clear that our Swifty friends have lost their credibility, have been denounced nationally and now finally by Bush. Why? Because the Republican habit of attacking Vietnam War vets is a bigger problem for them than the crazy Swifty rumors about Kerry's military record is for Senator Kerry.

Is Kerry a master politican and Bush his lttle plaything?
