1. Air America
Well, Air America Radio is talking about it a lot this morning. You know the people in the ad didn't even work with Kerry. Some worked on other swift boats but others simply were in Vietnam at the same time. Furthermore the doctor in the ad who said he treated Kerry must be a liar because it was another doctor, not he, who presided over Kerry when he was injured and there are medical records to support this. Go to airamericaradio.com for more.

3. What's the deal with questions about issues
that are addressed in at least 5 threads that are on the 1st page of GD RIGHT NOW??

Was a 6th thread really necessary for such an open-ended and ill-defined question?

7. Here's the deal
Texan funds anti-Kerry vets
Houston Republican gave $100,000 to Swift Boat Veterans for Truth

http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/news/washington/stories/072304dnpolswift.9ac05.html

AUSTIN – Houston homebuilder Bob Perry, a major supporter of President
Bush and the Republican Party, is the biggest financial backer of a
veterans group seeking to discredit Democrat John Kerry's military
service, according to federal records.

Mr. Perry gave $100,000 to Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, a group that
has been critical of Mr. Kerry's anti-war activities after he returned
from Vietnam. That accounted for two-thirds of the organization's
receipts to date.

-----------
Swift Boat Veterans for a Big Lie

http://www.mattgunn.com/#swiftboat50504

A newly formed group called "Swift Boat Veterans for Truth" has called
upon John Kerry to release all his Vietnam service records. They also
say Kerry is "unfit to be commander-in-chief."

Let's put "Swift Boat Veterans for Truth" under a microscope:

-----------
Smear Boat Veterans for Bush
The "swift boat" veterans attacking John Kerry's war record are led by
veteran right-wing operatives using the same vicious techniques they
used against John McCain four years ago.
