newsmax notes the smear attacks against the swiftvets
Top dog Democrats such as DNC ringleader Terry McAuliffe and Sen. Tom Harkin have publicly embraced Michael Moore's factually challenged waste of celluloid.

John Kerry recently used Moore-generated scenes to smear the president.

But curiously, when more than 200 decorated veterans created a one-minute TV spot expressing their views on the Dem candidate's war record, McAuliffe, DNC and buds squealed for the White House to declare war on these "partisan liars."

Sources indicate that a character assassination campaign is planned against Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, timed for the release of the book "Unfit for Command."

A preliminary counterattack has already begun. It is taking the form of an e-mail campaign titled "Swift Boat Vets are Dishonest, Dishonorable, Unpatriotic Liars," and comes from a group that calls itself the "Patriotic Veterans for Truth."

David Brock's Web site asks, "Who is Jerome Corsi, co-author of Swift Boat Vets attack book?" as it slimes Corsi with cherry-picked quotes that are taken out of context.

The Left Coast Report says once again the libs' slogan appears to be, 'Don't let the facts get in the way of attacks.'

1. Hmmm
There's another column smearing McCain. It looks as if they're worried, and that's good.

There is no context which would make Corsi's "cherry picked" quotes acceptable.

Sid

Edit - sorry, sniffa, not laughing at you :)

3. This is an absurd comparison!
Who in the "Moore-generated scenes" was LYING?!

Corsi is who he is, and so is John O'Neill -- facts are facts. I don't understand why they're even trying to drag Moore into this.
