Just for the record, the Associated Press assault on truth continues unabated...(emphasis mine)

What 527 groups ultimately do depends on how lawyers advising these groups interpret a series of Federal Election Commission cases over the past two years that heavily fined 527 organizations that participated in the 2004 presidential election.
Among those fined was the group Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, which raised unsubstantiated allegations about John Kerry's Vietnam war record.

Unlike Mr. Kuhnhenn, a majority of the sentient world understands that, at the least, "Christmas in Cambodia" was an outright (and self-admitted) fabrication on Kerry's part. I don't know how one can begin to counter this level of mendacity in a major news organization. |

Does this mean Moveon.org and others will stop?
Or will they cleverly disguise character assaults by attacking campaign advisers?
Edited to add: The mentioned group above has prominently listed on their page, | Quote: | | Yesterday a top official from Swift Boat Veterans For Truth vowed to use the same tactics to take down Obama. This race is going to get very ugly. The only way to counter these kinds of nasty attacks is to make sure voters are armed with the facts. That's where we come in--we're planning one of the biggest election year program that progressives have ever put together. MoveOn doesn't have billionaire donors--it just has all of us, chipping in together. |

The left has never gotten over the troncing they got in 2004 and SVPT will forever remain the boogie man in their fears.
