From a post at DU (Jeez, I get the creeps just going there once every week or so...)

"We delude ourselves if we think the Swift Vets Attack is not working.

The "Kerry Lied" Swift Ads are on the Air in their target states and are being
replayed on nationwide news channels. They are probably working beyong the
wildest expectations of their sponsors. They only need to influence 1 or 2 percent
of the population in a couple States to achieve more that all of the Bush negative
Ads have accomplished to date.

The book version of the "Kerry Lied" hit Ad, "Unfit for Command: Swift Boat Veterans Speak Out Against John Kerry," has already reached number one on the bestseller list on Amazon.com, based on advance orders.

Channels like the Drudge Report and folks like Hannity are giving the story massive publicity in the Repub community. There are now 2 sides
of the John Kerry war record. On the one hand, he maybe a war hero,
on the other, he maybe a lying, self-promoting, war criminal.

These HIT Operations almost almost work, because the point is to cast some
doubt over the issue among swing voters. Just by getting all the main media
to play the Ad and discuss it achieves the objective of turning blatant lies into
"a point of view" in the "fog of war" to which these other Swift-Mates are entitled to. I puts in doubt Kerry's honor, honesty and fittness to be Commander-In-Chief.

The only way to counter-act is a counter-AD which not only distroys the charges and the
credibility of these liars but places responsibility for this campaign of lies squarely with the Bush campaign
-- disgust some of his base and weaken their commitment. That is why
the Bush campaign is so focused on the "WE KNOW NOTHING," tactic.
We cannot accept this bull-crap from the White House press office."

They are WORRIED. More than that, they're SCARED. Keep up the great work, Swiftvets, and don't let them intimidate you!!!
