LIAR! The smearvets operators are almost the exact same group of Rove tricksters in both cases. That has been proven. You also really have a nerve blatantly lying any even a single claim the smearvets made about Kerry was in any way true. Every single thing those bastards said has been PROVEN to be a complete fabrication or distortion, even by the conservative Washington Times. You are either a totally corrupt individual or a complete pinhead if you believe ANYTHING in ANY of the Rovian smear campaigns. And yessir, they are all the same basic group. Tell me, did you actually believe the smearvets were a group of veterans un-connected to Karl Rove speaking for themselves? If so, I've got some great Enron stock to sell you, pal. The smervets and the cheating in Ohio were Rove's two big dirty tricks. Rove controlled everything about that campaign, and all the money for the smearvets came from Rove and DElay's corrupt corporate slush funders, the exact same ones funding the smears against McCain and Obama.

Who smeared McCain in South Carolina? From Wikipedia: While South Carolina was known for legendary hard-knuckled political consultant Lee Atwater[110] and rough elections,[109] this had been more: Michael Graham, a native writer, radio host, and political operative, would say "I have worked on hundreds of campaigns in South Carolina, and I've never seen anything as ugly as that campaign."[116] In subsequent years there would be persistent accounts trying to tie the anti-McCain smears to high levels of the Bush campaign: the 2003 book Bush's Brain would use it to build up their "evil genius" depiction of Bush chief strategist Karl Rove,[117] while a 2008 PBS NOW program showed a local political consultant stating that Warren Tompkins, a Lee Atwater protegé and then Bush chief strategist for the state, was responsible.[110] [118] * You see, it all goes back to Lee Atwater's proteges. They are the ones responsible for smearing McCain, Cleland, Kerry and Obama. And anyone who does it learned from them. So who are two of Atwater's top proteges of all time? Karl Rove and GW Bush. And if you look at how GW Bush and Rove beat Anne Richards in Texas, it was with the same type smear campaign, but instead of the McCain/Kerry version "war hero as liar, coward and traitor" (because Bush actually evaded Vietnam and lied about it), they spread smears about Richards being a "lesbian". And you can expect more of that against Hillary and 2008. But of course both lesbian accusations are total garbage. No truth to them whatsoever. And no truth to McCain or Kerry being "cowards, traitors and aiding the enemy" either. Just the opposite in fact, in both cases, not just McCain's.
