Bush Condemns Swift Boat Ad as Anti-Anti-American (2004-08-23) -- President George Bush today finally bowed to pressure from Sen. John McCain, R-AZ, and condemned a TV ad by the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth which attacks John Forbes Kerry for his 1971 "atrocities" testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. "These ads are anti-anti-American," said Mr. Bush during a campaign stop. "They demonstrate intolerance toward Mr. Kerry, who had every right to speak out against American atrocities in Vietnam, even if he had no evidence to back his claims. He's still free to speak his mind, whether or not there's anything in it." Mr. Bush said one of the great things about being an American citizen is "the right to speak out against America, her government and her military." The president even offered his Democrat challenger some campaign strategy advice. "Frankly, I don't understand why my opponent doesn't use his 1971 testimony in his own ads," said Mr. Bush. "The anti-military, anti-war position would connect better with the Democrat base. If I were him I'd start every campaign rally playing Arlo Guthrie's Alice's Restaurant, and hand out tie-dye t-shirts that say: 'All We Are Saying, is Give Kerry a Chance'. Sen. Kerry, don't be afraid to be who you are. Embrace your heritage." scrappleface.com

all 250+ SwiftVet members are liars. Remember, politics is such a dirty game that those Swifties could have been hired to pull a swift one. Their lies bear a verisimilitude of truth as long as they stick together and don't change their story. Sounds like lies are being "legalized" as the "truth". Looks like the perpetrators of this skullduggery are laughing all the way to the bank! Yeah, politics is like the underwear one wears; the longer one is in it, the stinkier it gets.

"Today the pipsqueak commander-in-chief has exploited the Guard and Army Reserve as a form of covert conscription to beef up troop numbers in Iraq and Afghanistan. But in those days National Guard squadrons were generally not being sent off to the frontlines in Vietnam. But just to be sure, Bush checked the box on his enlistment form saying he was unwilling to do time overseas. That box was a comfy failsafe that is no longer available to young people seduced into signing up as weekend warriors in Bush's National Guard."
