This Rocky Mountain News Editorial "gets it." Those Swift boat ads August 21, 2004 Recent newspaper articles about a book and TV ads attacking John Kerry's war record in Vietnam have not demonstrated that the Bush administration is behind the ads or wholly demolishing all of the allegations concerning the Democratic presidential nominee. Some of those providing money and guidance in the ad campaign have previously supported President Bush or his father, but that fact hardly tells us that the White House is pulling strings. And many of those involved in contributing money and framing the accusations have no political ties whatsoever to anyone connected to Bush. Kerry says Bush should renounce the ad, but, of course, Kerry is not renouncing the scurrilous movie Fahrenheit 9/11 or agreeing with the Bush campaign that both sides should discourage "soft money" ads by groups outside their campaigns. As a matter of intelligent politics, candidates hardly ever spend time kicking their supporters. Maybe they should in some instances, but they don't, whether Republican or Democrat.
