Before people get too excited, I wanted to point something out. The mods of the SwiftVets.com Bulletin Board have specifically banned discussion of the Kerry/Alston issue. They feel the story needs to be dropped unless and until there is 100% proof.

If there is an error, all of this hype will hurt the cause and discredit the group. I agree with them.

We can analyze until the election, but if we can't prove it, we need to keep it low key. If they aren't convinced it's true yet, I think we should respect their wishes.

They are honest people. BUMP to your post. The Alston/Kerry angle is just another lie, and its effect plays out mostly in the DEM convention. It's the "lie on top of another lie," but the underlying fabrication (Kerry was a hero in Vietnam) is more damning of his character.

i agree. Continued research and theorizing is fine, important even. But we mustn't fall into the trap of citing unsubstantiated theory as fact. Doing so will undermine the swiftee effort.

Actually, if evidence of the Alston accusation cannot be substantiated, the libmedia will portray the Alston accusation as the entirety of the Swifties' charges and then 'refute' it, thereby neutralizing their threat.

I'm certain there is an army of Dim lawyers poring over the records at this moment to try to do exactly that. It's their M.O.
