Swift Boat Veterans Continue to Sail a Ship of Lies

excerpt:

The Washington Post revealed today that a top attorney to the Bush campaign, Benjamin Ginsberg, has been advising the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth. They point out that other attorneys serve both Kerry's campaign and left-leaning 527 groups.

Regardless of their ties to the Bush administration, the SwiftVets continue to be discredited as the weeks roll on. Contradictions have arisen regarding the medals received by others during the same firefights in which Kerry was honored. Additionally positive fitness reports for Kerry, written decades ago, run counter to some of the SwiftVets own stories which they now tell.

It should be noted that of the 250 plus members of the SwiftVets, only one served on a boat with John Kerry. This man, Steve Gardner, was berated by Kerry after firing into a Sampan which resulted in the death of a young boy.

Regardless of the holes in the SwiftVets' boat, they continue to press on and request that John Kerry reveal all of his personal medical files by signing DoD Form 180. Note that the group is not requesting that George Bush sign the same form or even prove his whereabouts during a significant period of time during the Vietnam war.

2. The records canard

Then what about Cheney's medical records?
Bush's full military records?
The Energy Task Force?

How the most secretive administration in US History can have their "front men" be demanding Kerry release "All Records" it quite a case of Hutzpa.

idiots any attention.
