Here’s an example of why I cannot support the Swiftboaters

>>Sen. John McCain commands support at many VFW halls across the country. But a squadron of Vietnam vets and POW/MIA advocates is strafing him with decidedly unfriendly fire.

Two-tour Green Beret Ted Sampley, who helped “Swift Boat” Democrat John Kerry in the 2004 presidential race, is now gunning for the GOP White House hopeful.

The organizer of Vietnam Veterans Against John McCain claims the Purple Heart-winning former POW has “never admitted the full extent to which he cooperated with his captors.” Sampley also charges that, in the 1990s, the “unstable” McCain, whom he calls “the Manchurian Candidate,” ignored “credible evidence” that American POWs were still alive in Southeast Asia.<<

The examples you cite are not from Swiftboaters.

I think the groups are called 527s; not 523s

Who really cares? I suggest anyone who does spends 6 years in isolation locked up in a small box being periodically beaten and tortured, and not given any medical treatment for multiple serious life-threatening injuries. Once they do that, then get back to us.
