After the Clinton News Network debate they re running a special on campaign attacks. They spent the first part of the report attacking the Swiftees falling short of using the words liars. Their claim was that John Kerrys military records show that they falsely attacked Kerry.
Seems to me they should be held liable for their actions. If they have not seen the military records how can they legally attack with a claim of accuracy. |

I saw it as well OCS. It was a hatchet job of the first degree, trading in the same liberal head-in-the-sand meme that we've now come to expect. In fact, it's apparently no longer even necessary to solicit an opposing viewpoint inre the SVPT REVELATIONS...and none was heard.
Pathetic.
All I can find thus far is the following teaser...

And yet, none of them ever ask sKerry to open his full and complete military jacket to the public, not only 3 friendly reporters.
The Swifties very effectively threw a wrench in the left's monkeyworks of calling the shots and manipulating the public in 2004. They will now resort to whatever tactic they feel is needed to restore their ability to mislead. _________________ Clark County Conservative |

Over the past 4 years (1 before the 2004 election and 3 after) the media, the lefties and everyone else still doesn't have a clue. The SVPT was never about politics, it was about preventing a lying traitor, who was a swiftie, from becoming president. We'd have been just as dedicated to the cause no matter what political party he'd been in. This was all about handling our own problems.
If sKerry had just put in his time in Viet Nam and not decided to be an enemy collaborator, we'd probably be addressing him as Mr. President and waiting for the DVD release of the PCF movie that would follow in the tradition of PT109.
As it is, it's 3 years past the election and sKerry still hasn't opened his military records to all of the public to see (and he probably never will.) _________________ Swift Boats - Qui Nhon (12/69-4/70), Cat Lo (4/70-5/70), Vung Tau (5/70-12/71) |

It looks like "Citizen's United" wasn't particularly impressed by "Campaign Killers" either...

Hillyer & Citizens United Threaten Legal Action Against CNN
From an email sent from Hillyer to CNN Senior Producer Melissa Dunst Lipman, obtained by FishbowlDC:
Dear Ms. Lipman:
I write to register strenuous objections to your highly unprofessional hit piece last night (Broken Government -- "Campaign Killers," hosted by Campbell Brown ) against David Bossie and Citizens United, and to demand an on-air retraction of part of it, along with corrections made in any future showings. In particular, if a retraction of the defamatory words "fringe militia" is not offered publicly by CNN, and soon, I will advise Mr. Bossie to consider legal action.

With disgust,
Quin Hillyer

Yes, SVPT should seriously consider a similar strongly worded request for retraction....
CNN continued to spread the lie that "Swiftvet claims were proved false..." during the hit piece segment about SVPT....their words not mine.
Of course, as Citizens United showed, the hit piece was full of lies and misrepresentations, along with some pot calling kettle black whining about 'faking' something or other! Their fake 'everyday americans' in the last 2 debates have become legendary! Pretty sure they can't sink much lower and still reach our screens! |

I've changed my mind, I'm no longer of the opinion that SVPT need dignify the CNN idiocies with a response....their 'CNN Heroes' day, watched by both of their fans, and the new Scott Swett book has pretty much relegated CNN to the dustbin of history. |

And now we see Elisabeth Edwards using our name in vain.
Quote: |
From an ABC News article called "Elizabeth Edwards: 'Republicans Scare Me'"
...
She went on to warn about the larger party, saying, "Karl Rove may not be working in the White House anymore but you can pretty much be sure he’s going back in the presidential race... I believe he’s going to be back and he’s going be doing that same kind of Rovian politics that we’ve seen before — the kind of attacks that we saw against Sen. McCain in South Carolina we can expect to see against our nominee, 'swift boating,' all of that kind of stuff again."

The Swifties done well.................
John Kerry will forever be just a footnote in American history...........
The MSM (including CNN) knows they no longer, and never more will have, a lock on the disemination of, and control of what is, news.
And the Democrats will be looking over their shoulders for decades fearing the sudden and dreaded appearence of ....... "The Swiftboaters" (They don't know what we know, that the Swifties were and are a one issue group.)
Thank the Lord for the Swifties!
PS. I just finished the book...........WOW.......I say again;
Thang the Good Lord for the Swifties. (and all who played even a small part in the events of 2004.) _________________ "In a word, I want an American character, that the powers of Europe may be convinced we act for ourselves and not for others; this, in my judgment, is the only way to be respected abroad and happy at home." --George Washington |
