Everyone knows magicians use misdirection to make their illusions work. While one hand distracts us the other is pulling the egg or coin from its hiding place. Politics is no different, as the Kerry campaign and its shills in the media are demonstrating by their response to the Swift Boat Veterans, who have challenged Kerry's war record in a best-selling book, Unfit for Command, in television advertisements, and on their web site (www.swiftvets.org).
The Swift Boat Veterans have raised several issues regarding Kerry's service, the circumstances leading to his medals, and his claims to have been illegally in Cambodia in December of 1968. You would think that the media would be all over these claims, digging around for the evidence that either refutes or supports them. For example, on its web site the Swift Boat Vets claim that Kerry has not released all his Naval records: "These gaps include missing and incomplete fitness reports, missing medical records and missing records related to his medal awards." Is this true or not? If it is true, has anybody in the media asked the Kerry campaign to release the records and so put to rest these presumably false charges?
But in the nation's paper of record, the New York Times, this hasn't happened yet. By far the bulk of its coverage has focused instead on the alleged connections between the Swift Boat Vets and the Bush campaign. When the issue of veracity does come up, as in a story on August 25, the Times simply asserts that "almost all of the [Swift Boat Vets'] challenges to Mr. Kerry and his war record have been contradicted by official war records and even some of its members' own past statements."s.

What will work even better now that the Swift-Boat-VETS have the nation's ears and eyes ???
The next ads will cover the REAL record of NONE-American activities of J F'n Kerry as a senator.
Since the left-wing radicals have trashed the term "Anti-American" I suggest we all use the term "NON-American" to describe these &(*%(^()!
This isn't really fair. How is the media suppose to have time to investigate a man running for president, when they have to investigate all these Vietnam veterns. The media can only do so much. So what if a man running for President exagerates and/or lies about something he considers central to his campaign....
I have the following posted outside my office:

it ain't ove yet!
by the time the swiftties are done with that guy- qerry will wish he had never heard of vietnam. in just 3 weeks they have completely crushed him and the spirit of the dims. They realize this is just going to get worse every day until 11/02 when W wins at least 40 states and plus 3 in the senate.
The sad thing is they can't even fight any more.
Not around here it ain't.
Press bias works for dems in the short run, but the "pass" makes them sloppy, lazy and corrupt. When will the New York Times realize they're hurting the ones they love...(the world's smallest violin plays in the background as conservatives laugh...)
What a putz.He Needs to be prez to really screw up things.
bump TO SUPPORT THE NEW SWIFT VETS AD AND GEORGE BUSH... http://swift2.he.net/~swift2/gardner2.mpg
The more important time frame to examine (IMHO), is between the time he left Vietnam and when the Vietnam war ended. His partners in Vietnam Veterans Against the War and the activities VVAW was involved in are nothing short of acts of terrorism.
Mr. Kerry and VVAW recieved funds and directions from at least two Communist government's, Hanoi, and Moscow.
It needs to be repeated loud and often.
