Smear Boat Veterans for Bush
The "swift boat" veterans attacking John Kerry's war record are led by veteran right-wing operatives using the same vicious techniques they used against John McCain four years ago.

The latest conservative outfit to fire an angry broadside against John Kerry's heroic war record is "Swift Boat Veterans for Truth" , which today launches a campaign to brand the Democrat "unfit to serve as commander in chief." Billing itself as representing the "other 97 percent of veterans" from Kerry's Navy unit who don't support his presidential candidacy, the group insists that all presidential candidates must be "totally honest and forthcoming" about their military service.

These "swift boat vets" claim still to be furious about Kerry's 1971 Senate testimony against the war in which he spoke about atrocities in Indochina's "free fire zones." More than three decades later, facing the complicated truth about Vietnam remains difficult. But this group's political connections make clear that its agenda is to target the election of 2004.

Behind the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth are veteran corporate media consultant and Texas Republican activist Merrie Spaeth, who is listed as the group's media contact; eternal Kerry antagonist and Dallas attorney John E. O'Neill, law partner of Spaeth's late husband, Tex Lezar; and retired Rear Adm. Roy Hoffman, a cigar-chomping former Vietnam commander once described as "the classic body-count guy" who "wanted hooches destroyed and people killed."

once described as "the classic body-count guy" who "wanted hooches destroyed and people killed."

I noticed the author used the leftist smear technique "described ...." but not naming the person who described the Admiral. Probably John effn sKerry himself.
I could describe John Fonda Kerry as a gay pediphile and let someone quote it but that wouldn't make it true. Leftist technique.

Right. Joe Conason and other Lefties want to change the subject from the issue of what Kerry did in 'Nam to the credentials of the accusers. That's called begging the question. They're phonies - I mean they had us almost believing that song and dance in Boston last week about how the Democrats loved our military and wrapped themselves in flag and pledge. But when it comes to answering simple questions, they get red in the face and call in their legal hounds. Well for once they tangled with the wrong people. The Swifties have already seen the worst in their lives and they're not going to back down before a bunch of lawyers. John F*ckin' will regret opening the proverbial can of worms. If his campaign thinks this is bad news, I'd hate to see what the rest of August has in store.
