Sen. John Kerry called a member of the Swift Boat Veterans For Truth over the weekend to try to reason with him over the group's attacks on his record. But fellow Democrats aren't hesitating to try far more aggressive tactics.A group of Democratic loyalists is compiling incriminating dossiers on the members of the veteran group - and they sent us a preview of what might be in store for Swift Boat activist James Zumwalt, son of illustrious Adm. Elmo Zumwalt - and it isn't pretty.
Zumwalt "attempted to kill himself with an overdose of prescription drugs," after the murder of his ex-wife's fiance, John Kowalczyk, according to the dossier, which is footnoted to news sources, and was "convicted of reckless driving after chasing Kowalczyk at a high speed on the highway."
Zumwalt stepped into the line of fire when he testified with the controversial Swift vets at the National Press Club in Washington last May.
What was that old chestnut about loose lips sinking ships?
So a man who is admired by many suffered deep emotional pain and reacted in a way that is all too familiar. I say it only shows how human he is and how truly frail the best of us can be when confronted with the darkness that sometimes enters our lives.
It does not change that Kerry lied.
Let me know if you hear anything else.
L.A. Times will publish poll soon with George W. 49% and John F. 46%
This is why we must soundly defeat Kerry in November. President Bush needs a mandate to discourage our enemies. I urge those of you who are tempted to vote third party or stay home to vote for our soldiers instead, even if you aren't real happy with George W.
