In the last couple weeks, I've seen Mike McCurry and Kerry's campaign flak Chad [Somebody] refer to the "lies" of the SWIFTvets. McCurry called their efforts "the most dishonorable thing I've ever seen in politics."
Yet I cannot recall one single event or instance in which anything the SWIFTvets said was refuted or corrected. Even the WashPost article on the Bay Hap incident effectively came up with nothing (and it was the only careful and thorough reconstruction of the incident).
Mike McCurry calling the Swifties dishonorable?
I think that when you look up 'irony' in the dictionary, this is the definition.
The only things in the book that I've seen contested substantively are that the guy Kerry shot to get his silver star may have been wearing pajamas instead of a loin cloth and Rassman's claim (from the bottom of the river) that Kerry was being fired upon when he came back from him in the Bronze Star incident. I'm not aware of anything else that's even contested. For heaven's sake, Kerry's own account of the Silver Star incident conflicts with the citation.
