I guess you agree then that it is lies, but it is fair? That's pretty sad. More lies from the GOP supporters aren't going to change anyones mind. American's aren't as stupid as you think they are.
On a personal note I think it is disgusting to personally attack someone who honorably served their country in Vietnam by misrepresenting their record and questioning their patriotism. It was disgusting when it was done to McCain in the 2000 primaries and it was disgusting when it was done to Max Cleland in the 2002 senate race. This party of "patriots" ran ads during that campaign that showed Max Cleland's picture morphing into Osama Bin Laden. This is a an who had lost 3 limbs fighting in vietnam, worked for veterans rights, and then served his country as a senator. How can you honestly support that type of behavior?
Here's some stuff from FoxNews about the Lying Swift Boat Vets.
FOX News Channel pushed harder on the credibility of some of the group's members. On several shows throughout the afternoon and evening, including Special Report with Brit Hume, FOX News Channel chief political correspondent Carl Cameron provided substantial background on some key Kerry critics. Cameron reported that the veterans held a news conference "essentially to trash [Kerry]" and that much of their criticism "dramatically conflicts with the public record." Cameron stated, "Senator Kerry has released most of his military records and for the most part, they are a glowing detail of his military service." Not only does their criticism conflict with what The New York Times described in an April 22 article as Kerry's "uniformly positive" evaluations included in his military records, but, as Cameron also reported, their criticism is inconsistent with statements previously made by many of the Swift Boat Vets themselves. Cameron reported that in 1968, Kerry critic Grant W. Hibbard,[1] a lieutenant commander in Vietnam during Kerry's tour:
... described Kerry in various favorable ways, as quote, "One of the top few in his willingness to seek and accept responsibility." Captain George Elliot, who served in Vietnam at the same time Kerry did, condemns Kerry now for touting his service in a war that Kerry later protested. ... But in '96, Elliot and other critics of today, praised him for going after the enemy.
Beyond pointing out the inconsistent statements by some of Kerry's critics, Cameron also reported that Democrats say that "many of them ... have become Republicans ... who have supported the Bush campaigns in Texas, have been close friends of the Bush family both in politics and business." Cameron stated on Special Report with Brit Hume, "The GOP says it's not involved with the veterans criticizing Kerry, but many of them are Republicans who have contributed to and backed various Bush campaigns and causes over the decades."
