Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., lashed out Sunday against a group that campaigned against him during his last run at the White House.
Kerry said he is concerned that Swift Vote Veterans for Truth is again resorting to "the politics of fear and smear."
The group, financed by Texas conservatives, ran commercials questioning his Vietnam record - the centerpiece of his presidential campaign in 2004. Those same conservatives have formed another group this year - Economic Freedom Fund - to campaign against Democrats across the country.
"We're not going to give them an ounce of daylight," said Kerry, who is considering another run at the Democratic presidential nomination in 2008.
The senator said his response to the commercials in 2004 was not strong enough.
"We thought the fact that the truth was out there was enough," he said. "Clearly it wasn't."
What ever happened to the petition to oust Lurch from the Senate?
Thailand?
Talk about the truth hurting!

it's all anbybody needs to know about Kerry
This guy is SUCH a dud. Not only is he fighting the last war all over again, But he's still stuck in Viet Nam. Is this someone whom we would want to lead us into the future?
No, he's stuck on stupid.
Forever cursed to repeat the same mistakes over again.
No foresight - only hind sight (The CYA type of hind sight)
He better fight Bob Dole as well--"...three scratches and your out..." was a great line summarizing Kerry who spent four months and 12 days in Viet Nam and returned to describe horror stories to a Congressional panel. What a dork!
DEROS 17 May 1969.
He just needs to take whatever new toys Teeereeyzaaa buys him, stay home and let the grown-ups run things.
Hey Kerry, bite me...
O'Neil, the Swifttee's, and POW's that joined them were and still are heros.
I miss seeing O'Neil all over TV though. I'd almost like Kerry to get a good steam in the primaries just to see O'Neil return again. The Democrats just cannot deal with REAL military HEROS and Patriots with the spine to smack them down. So unlike the politicians they normally deal with that let them get away with their lies.
My sentiments entirely. "Smarmy" is delightful, but I would have used "brie hole" or "escargot trap" instead of "pizza hole". (I like pizza).
LOL. Kerry always reminded me of one of the zombies in The Night of the Living Dead movie. I expected him to start eating the presidents intestines during their last debate!
Yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap...
"Simple, Senator Kerry...produce an Honorable Discharge or DD Form 214. I've got mine, where's yours?"
We should ALL scan our DD 214's, and flood his website with them!!
Wonder if he has signed is Form 180 yet....
Is this the guy who won't sign his SF180?
Please run, Jean-Fraude. We'll finally get to the truth of your discharge.
Did Old Kerry sign off on his medical record report yet? It seems to me that all the Purple Heart stuff could be put to rest by showing us ( Vietnam Vets) who signed off on the PH awards. How about it John? Who signed off on your PH awards? Your commander? CO? Medical officer? Who signed off on the awards? No big deal Johnny. It will end when you release the information. It will shut everyone up and allow you some space. Form #180?
