You got it! At least in part.....The Swift Boat Vets' were getting no where....They had a news conference, they released statements, they signed petitions.....No one paid them a bit of attention.
They release and distribute a pointed controversial ad and all of a sudden everyone want to know who they are, what's going on. ANything milder would have been glossed over too...........
It's possible that the DNC were so busy planning the party that they were a little blindsided by this.....promoting his Nam linked played right into the Swift Boater's hand......or there are some really dumb people at the DNC........
My hats go off to these men...They were and still are HEROES!
