Nobody can smear as well as a democrat.

He was only "swift-boated" if the charges are TRUE!

But John Kerry admitted to "war crimes" during Vietnam. I have audio of it.
Until somebody can produce photos of Hackett mistreating bodies in Iraq, it's nothing but speculation and rumor.
But Hackett is still a raving, far-left moonbat.

John Kerry's phony war record was corrected by his fellow Swift Boat veterans, that has nothing to do with what happened to Hackett. The left is shaping public perception of the 2004 election by using the term Swift-Boated to describe dishonest political smear campaigns.

Big woo. Kerry is a confesed war criminal, and it didn't hurt his chances with the Dems.

Why would a Republican charge "war crimes" when the Republicans are the only people supporting the war? This is an obvious Democratic smear.
To: Diago
I may be mistaken here, but I read one biography, true or not, that said Hackett arrived in Iraq AFTER the capture of Saddam (by The US Army) and served as a JAG officer presiding over Saddam's detention/pre-trial.
Can anybody confirm this?
Doesn't sound like a lot of war-crimes opportunities for JAG-Off(icer)s.

Swift boats soon appeared on the horizon. A whisper campaign started: Hackett committed war crimes in Iraq—and there were photos. “The first rumor that I heard was probably a month and a half ago,” Dave Lane, chair of the Clermont County Democratic Party, told me the day after Hackett pulled out of the race. “I heard it more than once that someone was distributing photos of Paul in Iraq with Iraqi war casualties with captions or suggestions that Paul had committed some sort of atrocities. Who did it? I have no idea. It sounds like a Republican M.O. to me, but I have no proof of that. But if it was someone on my side of the fence, I have a real problem with that. I have a hard time believing that a Democrat would do that to another Democrat.”
Pardon me while I roll on the floor laughing...

Was he "Swiftboated?"
swiftboat - vt. To reveal the essence of a defective person. To shine truth on a lie or lies. swiftboat-ed, swiftboat-ing
Decide for yourselves whether or not he was really "swiftboated."
