I didnt think the Swiftboat Vets were a Republican group...Actually the founder of the Swift Boat was John Oneill. He is a Houston lawyer and a Democrat. He is also a loyal American Patriot.
John Kerry could have shut down the Swift Boat campaign in one day if he would have released his military records. If what the Swift Boat people saying was a lie, John Kerry's military record would have destroyed them. John Kerry did not and still has not released his military records. President Bush did. Why will Kerry not release his records?????????

Mark Foleying is also a tactic. And "Dan Rathering" is not - just trying to speak truth to power..........

"It usually involves a complex web of facts, many of which may even be true." Kinsley subscribes to the Dan Rather theory of "fake but true" when it comes to facts...

None of the main critics have really read the book by the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth nor have they really looked at the facts. That's painfully obvious to anyone who has.

I didnt think the Swiftboat Vets were a Republican group... Maybe not...but this Gunboat Vet is one!

Thanks for the ping. The leftists are still angry about what the Swift Boat Veterans were able to accomplish in 2004 with no help from the Bush campaign or the Republican Party.

It usually involves a complex web of facts, many of which may even be true. It exploits its own complexity and the reluctance of the media to adjudicate factual disputes. No matter how thoroughly a charge may be discredited, enough taint remains to support an argument.
Some of the facts may be true? Huh? All facts are true. And since when is the media reluctant to adjudicate factual disputes? Kinsley is engaging in what he calls "swiftboating", applying it to the Swiftboats Veterans for Truth which undermined the slimy, lying, treasonous approach of John Kerry, a nasty liar who should have been hanged.

Kinsley, as does all other leftist twits, also ignores totally that none of the Swifties charges and allegations were ever proven false. Even Kerry and his minions had to back off of some claims (Christmas in Cambodia for one) and admit they were “embellished.”
The fear expressed from the left over these brave combat tested Veterans grassroots effort and possibility of regrouping shows just how effective they were in opposing the left’s Bolshevik propaganda machine.
Incidentally, the GOP had nothing to do with guys. Pro-Bush comments were not permitted and as one who had the privilege of being on the Discussion Forum Admin team, they were removed as fast as they were discovered with cautions of pro-Bush posts were not allowed, much to the dismay of many posters.
If none have read it, Scott Swett’s “To Set The Record Straight” is an excellent read and look behind the scenes of their effort.

John O’Neill was a life-long Democrat, until the 2004 Campaign when the Democrats hate and anger came straight at him. He even told Nixon when they met in the early 70’s that he was a Democrat who voted for Humphrey.
