Ted,

Re: "The swiftie ads if not libelous are unadulterated lies."

Well here they are ... right from their site -->

Swift Boat Veterans Fort Truth

"Senator John Kerry has made his 4-month combat tour in Vietnam the centerpiece
of his bid for the Presidency. His campaign jets a handful of veterans around the
country, and trots them out at public appearances to sing his praises.
John Kerry wants us to believe that these men represent all those he calls his "band of brothers."

But most combat veterans who served with John Kerry in Vietnam see him in
a very different light.

The purpose of this photo is to correct the misleading use of our
images -- against our will -- to further John Kerry's campaign.

Swift Boat Veterans for Truth has been formed to counter the false "war crimes"
charges John Kerry repeatedly made against Vietnam veterans who served in our
units and elsewhere, and to accurately portray Kerry's brief tour in Vietnam
as a junior grade Lieutenant. We speak from personal experience -- our group
includes men who served beside Kerry in combat as well as his commanders. Though
we come from different backgrounds and hold varying political opinions, we
agree on one thing: John Kerry misrepresented his record and ours in Vietnam
and therefore exhibits serious flaws in character and lacks the potential to lead.

We regret the need to do this. Most Swift boat veterans would like nothing
better than to support one of our own for America's highest office, regardless
of whether he was running as a Democrat or a Republican. However, Kerry's phony
war crimes charges, his exaggerated claims about his own service in Vietnam,
and his deliberate misrepresentation of the nature and effectiveness of Swift
boat operations compels us to step forward.

For more than thirty years, most Vietnam veterans kept silent as we were
maligned as misfits, addicts, and baby killers. Now that a key creator of
that poisonous image is seeking the Presidency we have resolved to end our silence.

The time has come to set the record straight."
