"It seems to me if Kerry was slandered or libeled by untrue accusations, he has full access to the court system to defend his "honor," along with virtually unlimited funds to press his legal case. Yet the WaPo piece dismisses the whole issue as a proven smear."

There are several people still living who were there who say it wasn't a smear (hence the name, Swift Boat Veterans for Truth).

Sadly, it has now become a "smear" to merely point out what a left-wing candidate has said or done.

Now, as to conservative/Republican candidates...see Dan Rather and his Texas National Guard documents.

That's my point. I believe the Swifties who were there and I contributed to their effort to unmask Kerry. He's been living an offensive lie since the Sixties.
