The Swiftvets and POWs were attacked again and compared to the Vietnam Veterans against John Mc Cain. They said that it is god that this time it is a republican attacked. As usual Sean kept his mouth shut.

Sean Hannity is...well...let's put it this way. If he didn't have his name written down in copy for him to read or platitudes to regurgitate, when he opens his mouth, nothing would come out. Colmes runs circles around him in terms of intellectual stamina and it's embarrassing that he's held in such apparent conservative esteem.

However, he does do some good in raising support for wounded vets, so I'll refrain from further comment.

Yeah, during the last national election, a lot of us learned the hard lessons when it comes to Sean Hannity. He's just as good at ignoring facts that interfere with his current pet theory as any liberal is.

He's decorative, but even that is fading, as it must for us all. When that is gone, he won't have anything left to keep him marketable.

At least Colmes has the courage of his convictions. Hannity doesn't seem particulary convicted about anything - especially not over the long haul.

When Fox first ran the story of the Ted Sampley group against McCain, did any of you notice that they used the Swiftboat Vets logo underneath the box showing what they were saying about McCain?

I was furious that they were implying that it was OUR Swiftvets who were attacking McCain!!! Perhaps some of our folks are in that group, but it is totally unfair for FOX to use the official Swiftboat Veterans for Truth logo.

NW, to the best of my knowledge, I don't know of any Swiftvet that has aligned themself with Ted Sampley's organization. In fact, Wey Semmes recently described that organization's attack on McCain as "shameful". Nor do I believe that any of the POWs that publicly aligned themselves with SVPT are supporting Sampley's campaign

I missed the segment but I assume they were showing the ad itself which contained the doctored SVPT logo, no?

Here's a link to some interesting tidbits on Sampley. While I can't vouche for the veracity of the chapter, I am highly confident SVPT would never align themselves with this type of activism. SVPT simply has too much class:

Prisoners of Hope, by Susan Katz Keating

It will always be an problem that the uneducated or unfamiliar will lump Vets together without doing the research.

I finally tracked down a picture of their ad on TPMMUCKRAKER and I apologize to FOX NEWS!

It was the ad itself that had the Swiftboat logo that is used on this site. However, they blew the image up and it looks like it says "Swift Boot" instead of "Swiftboat".

Looks like I got mad at Fox News for the wrong thing. I thought they were doing the association between this group and Swiftboat Veterans!! Sorry, everyone!
