Watching Rachel last night made me remember just how much I hate the Swift Boat Drunks
Rachel was saying that the same PR firm that helped create the Swift Boat ads from the 2004 election were gearing up to run ads against Supreme Court nominee, Sonia Sotomayor....

Then she played one of the Swift Boat ads from 2004, & wow, did my blood pressure likely go above the normal AMA recommended guideline of 120/80....

How on fucking earth can the guy (John Kerry) who actually served & nearly died be made out to be a phony when the other candiate (George Bush) was a coke head & booze hound who evaded service...

I truly HATE those Swift Boat bastards for that despicable ad campaign they ran against Kerry...The Swift Boaters are vets that I really wish were homeless & living under a bridge....Fuck them...

Senator Kerry, you are a great man & a war hero....They should re-name Boston Logan Airport to the "Kerry International Airport".....(I'm not forgetting the other great senator, Ted Kennedy, but there already is a Kennedy Airport)...

1. A Kerry fan for decades, a low point for me. Rachel needed to add debunked and a lie. She said over
the top, which meant presentation.

3. You're right - Rachel has a DUTY to be accurate now since truth finally has some media voice.

4. Right before the 2004 Election
ABC's Nightline debunked the Swift Boat leader's story. He was almost in tears for being exposed as a liar.

I waited for it to spread like wildfire through the MSM, but it was never picked up or repeated. I then realized, that this country really is a fraud and everything is bullshit.

5. I expected the exact same thing...ABC news didn't even put Koppel's report in the rotation
along with the next day's news programming and it disappeared.
