Kenneth is merely regurgitating the distortions of Ellis Henican. Ellis claims the Swiftboat folks are now shifting their focus from Kerry to the AARP just because they shared the same ad agency, PR and other support firms as the organization that now hits the AARP (In reality, different organizations may share the same firms and not really be associated. That is how it works. You find folks whose style you like and then you hire them - duh). He is also claiming the White House is really behind the hit on AARP because the AARP opposes Bush's SS plan. It is a preposterous leap in logic. The truth is, the critique of AARP comes from "USA United Generations", a senior citizen advocacy group that thinks AARP is too liberal (which is true). It is an AARP alternative and has existed for 13 years. usanext.org. It slams against the AARP are nothing new. Since the AARP is now spending a lot of money to hit programs that USA Next supports, USA Next is striking back. It is called politics - and there is nothing wrong with it. Kenneth has neither dignity nor shame.
