Well, the vast majority of the donors to Swift Vets are Republican, so, in a literal sense, ABC is telling the truth. Your statement is unprovable, since the 200,000-plus donations to the SBVT since the first ad's release - and this total is probably much greater now - average, according to the SBVT site, $59. The initial "seed money" certainly was from Republicans, but the many who are now contributing may be nonvoting Vietnam veterans who want revenge for Kerry's lies in 1971, or independents fed up with media bias, people who simply hate Kerry, nonRepublican libertarians, or nonpartisan conservatives.
In any case, a truthful news outlet would not say "funded by Republicans", since that is not verifiable. Oh, never mind, this is ABC News we're talking about, isn't it?
Whoa there skippy. I'm a Swift Vet supporter who happens to be Republican. I am not a Swift Vet reported because I am Republican. Republicans are heavily donating to SwiftVets. ABC is 'literally' right, but they don't really get it.
Republicans aren't donating to SwiftVets because we support BC'04.
Republicans donate to SwiftVets because they are a group of men who are bringing down a faux war hero who lied about their service and collaberated with the enemy.
Republicans are donating to the SwiftVets because they are patriots, just like we are.
