Some DEM creep who was arguing about the Swift Vets referred to FactChecks.org as a place to find out the "truth" about the swift vets.

Check out their sources - all the "Liars for Kerry" crowd: Kranish, Boston Globe, Doug Brinkley, and Rassman.

Don't know anything about Jodi Wilgoren myself.

Republican-funded Group Attacks Kerry's War Record

It would really be worthy of a headline if it was a democrat-funded group attacking Hanoi John’s war record.

People interested in this allegedly non-partisan document by a supposedly non-partisan group might also want to read a well-developed discussion from a few days back -- over here -- http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/1186934/posts

Some DEM creep who was arguing about the Swift Vets referred to FactChecks.org as a place to find out the "truth" about the swift vets.

Over the weekend, on FoxNewsWatch, Neal Gabler suggested the truth could be found at FactCheck.org.

I suggest FactCheck.org is being used as a handy weapon by "journalists" who are too lazy to check primary sources themselves (or are too corrupt to present the real truth).

Corruption

Corruption.

Gee. Where's the "Liberal Marxist Billionaires Attack Bush" website?

WHat fact check does is have a democrap review republicans and republicans review democrats, so by there own standards the review was done by a democrat with source materials from democrats which means we cant trust there review since they are from democrats who are probably democratic donors or are related to one to the third power seperated by a stain on a couch.

FactCheck.org must be worried about seeming incompetent for having swallowed and promulgated the Boston Globe story that says Elliot recanted.

They've changed the first paragraphs on this "non-partisan' "factual" web page of theirs.

On August 6th, their first paragraphs read

Ad features vets who claim Kerry "lied" to get Vietnam medals. But one accuser quickly recants, and other witnesses disagree.

August 6, 2004 Modified: August 6, 2004

A group funded by the biggest Republican campaign donor in Texas began running an attack ad Aug. 5 in which former Swift Boat veterans claim Kerry lied to get one of his two decorations for bravery and two of his three purple hearts. However, one of the veterans who appears in the ad has already recanted his principal accusation against Kerry, in an interview with the Boston Globe

Since August 15, their first paragraphs have read

Ad features vets who claim Kerry "lied" to get Vietnam medals. [Words about recanting removed here] But other witnesses disagree
