18. Who says the swiftliars can't publish their book? I think that what the
Kerry campaign was saying to people was that it is packed full of lies. Publish it knowing that. Also, television stations have a responsibility to exhibit restraint when it comes to feeding lies to the public.

Michael Moore's trailer showed Bush talking. So did the second swiftvet ad. No problem there.

However, the first ad is the problem since it contained people who were lying. For example, one of the guys says that he knows John Kerry lied to get his medals. How does he "know?" In an interview later, he says someone else told him that and he's just repeating it. It's later contradicted by multiple sources and documentary evidence.

The ads against Bush - what are the lies? Seriously. What are they? Is it a lie to say that under * there are more uninsured than ever before? That's not a lie. The * campaign may have a reponse to it, but at face value, it's simply a fact.
