thank you, very illuminating. :))
did the press just despise the war so much that any lie that hastened its end was a good lie? Is that good lie the only thing that matters to our media today?

Yes, of course. Look at the extremely biased reporting about the Abu Ghraib scandal, and refusal to cover the atrocities commited by Iraqis against Americans.

LOVE that site.
Thank you.
This caught my attention:

I have been saying this all along.
The towns where most of the "guilty" soldiers come from are Dem-worshipping.
*Who* -paid- for this "scandal"?
Not having a strong third party candidate in the race such as a Ross Perot has allowed the public to focus their attention on two candidates. This has not been good for John Kerry. For every vote Nader takes away, if he had been a significant force in this contest, it might have kept the Swift Boat Vets from making such deep inroads. Kerry has fought to keep Nader off the front pages and that, in the long run, may hurt more than help.
It looks like Kerry was fully expecting to run the Hillary press playbook, but something went wrong. The swift-boat vets were just a symptom of a larger problem though. I don't think a President Hillary campaign will go pretty much like the Senator Hillary campaign went. Kerry's basic problem is not the Swifties, its that the left isn't really that happy with him. We shouldn't expect this dynamic with Hillary in 2008.
