(Not so) Swift Boat Veterans for Truth Bush...
So this veterans' group put out an ad last week that is sharply critical of Kerry's military service, and accuses Kerry of lying about his Vietnam record.
1) Here's background on the Swift Vets:
2) Here's Senator John McCain's condemnation of the ad:
Republican Sen. John McCain, a former prisoner of war in Vietnam, called an ad criticizing John Kerry's military service "dishonest and dishonorable" and urged the White House on Thursday to condemn it as well.
"It was the same kind of deal that was pulled on me," McCain said in an interview with The Associated Press, referring to his bitter Republican primary fight with President Bush.
3) And, in conjunction with the ad, there's also this book called Unfit for Command: Swift Boat Veterans Speak Out Against John Kerry, co-authored by John O' Neill, Republican hack extraordinaire and a previously little-known Jerome Corsi, recently unearthed by MediaMatters:
Corsi on Islam: "a worthless, dangerous Satanic religion"
Corsi on Catholicism: "Boy buggering in both Islam and Catholicism is okay with the Pope as long as it isn't reported by the liberal press"
Corsi on Muslims: "RAGHEADS are Boy-Bumpers as clearly as they are Women-Haters -- it all goes together"
Corsi on "John F*ing Commie Kerry": "After he married TerRAHsa, didn't John Kerry begin practicing Judiasm? He also has paternal grandparents that were Jewish. What religion is John Kerry?"
Corsi on Senator "FAT HOG" Clinton: "Anybody ask why HELLary couldn't keep BJ Bill satisfied? Not lesbo or anything, is she?"
Lovely antagonists, aren't they?
