Thanks for posting this article. This lie must not go unchallenged.

Great piece by Hyman. If Kerry was honest and had an ounce of honor left in him he’d turn over all records, him not doing so speaks volumns.
Thanks for the ping, Smooth.
What a PERFECT refutation of the idiotic article in the New York Times which claimed Swift Boaters were tired of the term “swiftboating”. I’m sure they are tired of the way dim Dems and the drive-by media have misused and abused the term. I am too-—and this article, if the dummies can read, should put the issue to bed.
Kerry wants to be Obama’s Sec. of State.
Mark Hyman exposes the NY Times’ latest effort to pretend that Kerry had the best of it against the Swift Vets.
I subscribe to the Slimes (enemy intelligence). I followed the Swiftees efforts closely and read their book, well footnoted. I didn't see a single MSM report that refuted anything in the book, but some that supported the book's accounts, such as an excellent piece about the firefight when Kerry took a powder while other boats slugged it out with the bad guys.
Then one day I picked up the Slimes, amazed to see they simply proclaimed the Swiftees story "discredited." I searched the article in vain for any specific assertion to back the Slimes' claim, but there weren't any. They simply announced it. And from that time on the MSM followed in lockstep. I've never seen any specific fact reported by the Swiftees refuted in the MSM. Pickens' money is safe.
The question is why the NYTimes and Kerry are reviving these lies. I think the answer is that they want to use the canard about swiftboating whenever anyone says anything critical about Obama.
As for kerry, he has no political future outside of Taxachusetts.

No, "Swift Boat" is the synonym for "Getting the truth out".
