This simply shows that the Republican party is using material produced by the Swiftboat Vets. It does not demonstrate involvement of the Swiftboat Vets with a Republican event.

Hasn't Kerry's campaign been using material lifted from Fahrenheit 9/11? Same difference.

Yes, indeed they have.

Kerry tries to counter impact of war criticism

excerpt:

Cutter sought to turn the argument over presidential readiness back on the White House. "Mr. McClellan needs to understand that John Kerry is not the type of leader who will sit and read `My Pet Goat' to a group of second graders while America is under attack," she said.

That was a reference to Sept. 11, 2001, when Bush remained in an elementary school classroom for several minutes after being informed by an aide that the World Trade Center had been hit.

It's the age old problem they do whatever they please with a

willing and complicit press and if we do anything that

even remotely looks like it may skirt the law they bring

in the sharpshooters, same ol' double standard at work.

In fact, it might just be bad writing, often seen on local political fliers. It could be that they wrote "Swift Boat Veterans" when they meant "Will feature material from the Swift Boat Vets" or some such.

Also, it's not collusion if a Swiftee addresses a group of Republicans, and if there were real collusion the Kerry campaign would be able to point to thousands of fliers just like this, not just one. Yawn!
