They were a clever front group of the Democrats so Kerry would be defeated and everything could be blamed on Bush.
On some message boards I’ve seen libs refer to the “lying
Swifties” and someone will ask, how come Kerry never
took them on—addressed the issue, tried to sue them?
Then someone will always point out that a)he still hasn’t
released his military records, and b) he doesn’t have much of a case because the Swifties had solid documented evidence against him.
Two years after the ‘04 election Kerry said he was going to fight back against their accusations. For one thing, what took him so long? If he were president, how could he respond
to crises when it took him over TWO YEARS to respond
to this issue? Secondly, have you heard anything since
then about him taking them on?
No, probably because his “botched joke” came out and
he dropped his campaign. Thus no need to go after
the Swift Boat Veterans now.
“They were a clever front group of the Democrats so Kerry would be defeated and everything could be blamed on Bush.”
Either you forgot the /sarc tag, or you know nothing of the Swift Vets, their origins, their history, their leaders and their purpose - John Kerry was a lier and a traitor, and they knew, from direct experience with him, why that is the truth.
