IF YOU HATED IT the first time, you might like the sequel better.
Remember Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, the right-wing goon squad whose defamatory insinuations helped sink John Kerry's presidential campaign? They're back! This afternoon, key Swift boaters George "Bud" Day, Mary Jane McManus and Carlton Sherwood are holding a little reunion, in the guise of a panel discussion at the American Conservative Union's annual Conservative Political Action Conference. The panel topic? "The Left's Repeated Campaign Against the American Soldier."
--snip--
The reemergence of the Swifties is depressing, but not because they're likely to do much damage to progressive candidates in the next election cycle. "Swift Boat II: The Sequel" will have a different ending from "Swift Boat I" because Americans just aren't that dumb.

We've seen the number of U.S. troops killed in Iraq roughly tripled since the 2004 election. We've seen the war in Iraq fuel anti-U.S. sentiment worldwide; we've seen copycat suicide bombings increase in Afghanistan; we've seen the Iraq conflict further inflame tensions with Iran and throughout the Middle East; we've seen hostile states around the globe emboldened by the image of the U.S. caught in a quagmire; we've seen Al Qaeda regroup; we've seen Iraq become a top training ground for aspiring terrorists from all over.
Most of all, we've seen the Bush administration consistently place ideology over reality, remaining willfully blind to the fact that its ill-conceived war is making us less secure — and breaking the back of the American military. If there's a "campaign against the American soldier," it's the administration that's been engaged in that campaign, not "the left" ...
What's depressing about the reemergence of the Swifties, though, is that it's symbolic of the increasing takeover of the "conservative" movement by unprincipled, right-wing extremists.

This Soros groupie is a certifiable whackjob.. nothing more, nothing less.
I don't know a man who is more principled than John O'Neill. I admire him tremendously.
Sounds like the author actually is "just that dumb."
"...breaking the back of the American military"???
Well.... sweet dreams, Ms. Rosa Brooks.
I'm outraged and I DO NOT read the Los Angeles Times.
Period.
(As an aside, Zarqawi used to read the Los Angeles Times. I don't know if Hell subcribes to it, so unsure if he still does.)

Liberal political tactic #3:
When you lose an election, blame it on the lack of intelligence of the voters.
"Lunatic"? I represent that remark.
I would read Chiquita Banana labels before I'd pick up this crappy paper.
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Remember Swift Boat Veterans for Truth..."
YEP. Great bunch of guys -- patriotic Americans.
I lost what respect I had left for Hannity when he let crept-keeper colmes disgrace John O'Neill on H&C the other night. He should have let Colmes have it instead of sitting there like a dope.

considering the MoveOn.orgers/Pinko extremists have seized the dem party, her open affiliation with Soros and the Open Society pretty shows how extreme she is willing to be.. and how hypocritical her comments are in general.
Hmm if the Swift Boats were such liars and "goons" how come they are credited with ruining Kerry's campaign? You mean they did it without having a single valid point?? (Such as John Kerry met with the N Viets during the war, called our troops genocidal maniacs, etc.)
We don't want to appear uncharitable. We should certainly give this retrobate's opinion all of the consideration it is due. That should take all of 5 microseconds.
BTW, has Kerry signed his DOD-180 yet?
She speaks derisively of Col."Bud" Day, one of America's true heroes.
She, no doubt, has wet dreams of "comrade fidel".
BTW -- Swifties are running the site in my sig line.

Fixed.
