As We Predicted: The NYT's Front Page ''Brown Book'' Smear on the Swifties
 What really floors me is just how lock-step the media are on this. I meant, as Drudge says, the Empire strikes back. Kerry is being defended high and low today in mainline media, from NYTimes to CBS to small-town editorial boards. It's really stunning how they can speak in one big, coordinated voice when they want to.

 Kerry: Bush Lets Groups Do 'Dirty Work' (says: "BRING IT ON"!)
 I still want to know how the Post could get these records...
Because the DNC has provided the WASH POST "dirt" on all of the Swift Vets, including their "military records, medical and psychiatric records, credit records, divorce records and more".

V A N I T Y Let the games begin.......
  Looks like the story of the "brown book" is true. I wonder if it occurs to anyof these rocket scientists that their efforts to discredit the Swifties is about to explode in their faces.
 For over 30 years, those of us who are Vietnam era vets were never given a voice. If you ask the average young person on the street, the '60s and early '70's was nothing but peace and love.

Former FBI Agent Warns Swift Boat Vets Gary Aldrich

  If your 60-second ad were given honest exposure, the election would be all but over, and the people who have seen it know this. That’s why they will destroy you, then ignore you.
 The dems already have said they have "brown books" on these Swift Boat vets destroying their lives, and they already started handing them out to the press.


Live thread: Nightline doing segment on swift vets!  Another hit piece masked as being objective-- the good thing is that the story is still being reported.  The Kerry campaign (and their media pals) are trying hard to keep this on the level of "he said/he said." Forget that stuff. Look at the contradictions in his own statements.
 They attempted to ignore it and it wouldn't go away. They have now had to move to stage 2. Distort and condemn the opposition. The idea isn't to bring the Truth to the American public but to stop the momentum of the Swiftee's.
 If this line of attack fails, then they move to hardball. They will start dredging up every piece of info they can about the veterans while simultaneously trying to link Bush.
Remember the "Brown Books?"
 We are beginning to see the Clinton era repeated...
 This is shameless propaganda. What a nasty, dishonest piece of "journalism" that was.

Not so stunning when you consider that they all serve the same master.
