SwiftVets: IMO


In My "humble" Opinion, I think we need to be vigilant in our efforts to debunk the SwiftVets operation.

There has been some great info posted here about the connections to Free Republic, and the history of the SwiftVets participants.

Unfortunately, the media is NOT our friend, and every time these guys get airtime, it makes them seem credible.

In ordinary conversation with people, I have found more and more of these lies creeping into conversation.

I (and I am nobody), encourage everyone to get informed about these scumbags, and be prepared to shoot down every lie you hear, whenever, and where-ever they are uttered.

This has got to be the sleaziest thing I have ever seen in American politics.

1. I was noticing the same thing
The media just is not making the connections. We need to flood their programming directors and reporters with letters explaining the obvious bias of this group.

2. I agree

It's scary how a paper like The Boston Globe, has been reduced to answering attacks from The One Man Freak Show: Matt Drudge.


I am curious; and maybe someone who has a better clue that I, if there are any fundraising irregularities with respect to SwiftVets 527 status and Free Republic.

Attack the money, Always attack the money.

3. Write a letter or take out an ad TODAY in your local paper
maybe you can't fight against television media but do something local.
