LA Times article: Is Vets For The Truth the same group as the Swift Boat Veterans? No. But that didn't stop an article in Sunday's Los Angeles Times from trumpeting the erroneous headline: "'Swift Boat' Veterans Set Sights on Rep. Murtha." [EXCERPTS:] Two years after a cadre of veterans helped sink the presidential campaign of Sen. John F. Kerry (D-Mass.), they have found a new target in the old steel country of southwestern Pennsylvania: Democratic Rep. John P. Murtha. In a fight that organizers say will feature rallies, TV ads and an aggressive Internet campaign, these activists are promising to make Murtha pay for his criticism of the Iraq war.

We thank them for serving their country once again.
They have their agenda. And the majority of Americans have no idea as how they are manipulated on a daily basis.
We must be doing something right....!!
When has the Lame Stream Media been right in the last 59 years?
When hs the media ever been truthful?
SO, what's new? They tell 1/2 truths all day long and call it "Merely the truth" (down here at the St.Pete Times)
Well, the assumption among the MSM is that the vast majority of Vietnam veterans hold views like those of the Swift Boat veterans. Therefore, any Vietnam vet who comes out against Kerry is a Swift Boater, even if they were in the Army and never came anywhere near a Swift Boat.
This means that only the handful of senior officers acted as spokesmen for an organization that could have several hundred thousand members.
Even the vast majority of post-Vietnam veterans would be honored to be an "honorary" Swift Boater.
As a leopard cannot change its spots, by witnessing John Kerry behave like a weasel before Congress, we have few doubts that his cowardice and treachery existed long before that moment.
I retired in '91 and during my career I only saw one AF warrant officer. In 1971 I was going to tech school at Chanute to be a firefighter. The Chief of the school was a very old W-4.
Even though the LA Times misrepresented Vets For The Truth as other MSM probably will to further their agenda of keeping Dems in office regardless of the despicable actions of some, the truth will come out about Murtha and others like him. Murtha will be exposed for his despicable acts just as John Kerry was and will go down to defeat in November.
Support Diana Irey, BootMurtha, Vets4Irey and retire Murtha.

To DemocRATS in the cross hairs, any group of pissed off veterans is the same thing: BAD NEWS FOR THEM!
Keep up the GREAT WORK, Linda!
Sorry to confuse you ops33, but my "W04Man" handle doesn't stand for W-4. It stands for Bush 2004, ie http://W-04.com. You are right, I retired in '83 and there were not very many warrant officers in the AF. I knew a couple in the late 50s/early 60s.
But this is a cold, calculated LIE!
BTW, there are many of us veterans who are against Murtha and are not associated with the Swift Boaters.
And our numbers are growing!
They may not be the same organization -- but they are going to appeal to the same CONTRIBUTORS...
Once again -- the Republican Party will NOT receive any money from me..
!00% of my political contributions will go to folks who will FIGHT THE RIGHT BATTLES...
Anyone attempting to toss Murtha's ass out of Congress, is fighting the RIGHT battle.
I suspect this was "Rove's Plan".....let a small group of citizens do the heavy lifting in destroying assholes like Murtha - while the Republican party can remain "above the fray".....
Semper Fi
