John Kerry has recruited private investigators to dig up dirt on the Swiftboat Veterans for Truth in a last ditch bid to discredit the group in retaliation for damaging his image as a Vietnam War hero.
The Kerry investigators are "compiling incriminating dossiers on the members of the veteran group," reports the New York Daily News. One target of the Kerry dirt diggers is Swift Boat activist James Zumwalt, son of illustrious Adm. Elmo Zumwalt, whose file was shared with the News on Wednesday.According to the report, "a group of Democrtic loyalists" plan to paint Zumwalt as a drug abuser who once tried to kill himself after the murder of his ex-wife's fiance. The Kerry dirt diggers have also unearthed an ancient reckless driving conviction.
The search and destroy technique was widely practiced during the campaigns of both Bill and Hillary Clinton, who used "Democratic loyalists" Jack Palladino, Anthony Pellicano and Terry Lenzner to gather damaging information on witnesses.
Ex-Clinton staffers now dominate Kerry's campaign team.
It's not clear if Kerry's Swiftvet dirt diggers are being paid with federally matching campaign funds, another technique pioneered by the Clintons.
The SwiftVets could all be followers of Charles Manson and it still would not change the fact that Kerry is a liar and Unfit for Command.
classy
Let 'em. It isn't going to work. The more Kerry and his troupe of goons try to smear the Swift Vets, the more attention they bring to the entire matter, and to the fact that the Kerry Kampaign hasn't once tried to refute the SBV's allegations.
Bring it on, Zippo Boy.

J. F. Kerry sign form 180.
Yeah. The "Nuts & Sluts" defense. Attack your accusers' personal character rather than dealing with the substance of their charges. This from the same people who complain about smearing and trashing of Kerry's character. Kinda renews your faith in the duplicity of human nature.
too late...
the damage has been done...
kerry is back on his heels defending all the accusations and once the documentary comes out and the october surprise...this clown will be lucky if he survives til the election
Oh hillerrrrrrrrieeeeeee...ya better get on a crash diet and see a plastic surgeon, pronto!!! cause you're up next!
I don't care what they have done. They are not running for Commander in Chief!
If this gets out, Virginia will again be a lock for Bush. Big naval states are gonna not like this at all. I also don't think this plays well in OH, MO, MI, PA AR and a lot of other places.
Kerry is a dirty SOB!!!
I hope this isn't true. kerry shouldn't be attacking these men.
Amen!
Typical action for the Rat bass turds.
Sign the SF-180, John.
Kerry is not above killing people to become President, IMHO.
He wants to win too much - reason to be VERY scared of him.
Hillary must be cackling over the headlines every morning.
That crap won't play well here in Penna. Sign Form 180, Ketchup Boy!
Kerry sliming vets again is not a good idea.
Kerry can make it all go away by just signing a simple form and releasing his records. Wonder why he doesn't just do that.
It takes courage to criticize a man who is politically powerful, who is the darling of the "mainstream newsmedia", Hollywood, academia, and half of the American electorate, AND who has a billion dollars of private money at his disposal.
Talk about "fear & smear"
