They keep repeating this, as if making it a mantra somehow
makes it true. They problem wasn't the "swiftness" of the
response, it was that there was no credible response. All
they could do was vainly shout "liars" and pretend that UFC
was "debunked". Anyone who checked, knew otherwise.

And this is why the digging on Kerry's history must
continue. The legacy and leftist media is STILL covering
for him.

> Kerry ... "We need to get these guys,"

Then why didn't he sue for libel. If the SBVFT were in
fact lying, their activities easily rose above the bar
set for libel of a "public figure". Kerry and his people
certainly had no reluctance to threaten suits against
the publisher and bookstores, on any grounds except libel.

Kerry couldn't sue for libel or slander because he knew that what the Swiftees were saying was the truth!
