The ONLY Reason The Swift Boat Story Is In The Media
Edited on Sat Aug-14-04 01:58 PM by stopbush
is to push *'s lack of an admirable service record off the front page.

One would think attacking Kerry's stellar Vietnam record would invite comparisons to *'s dodge-the-draft record. But save for a few comments by Tweety, Bill Maher and Olbermann, there have been NO comparisons in the mainstream media. The only time a comparison gets made is when a RW shill like McCain opines that "both men served honorably."

When's the last time AWOL's TANG record was discussed? March or April, right?

It looks like the RNC strategy is working, wouldn't you say?

1. Yes, Rove's strategy has been very successful on this.
He knows the media and how to manipulate the discussion. The media gladly accepts their marching orders.
