Yet another "gem" from Kate Zernike and the New York Times;
In part: | Quote: | Years ago, when William Miller talked about being in the Vietnam War — if he talked about being in the Vietnam War — he would tell people he served on a Swift boat.
>>>
“Swift boat” has become the synonym for the nastiest of campaign smears, a shadow that hangs over the presidential race as pundits wait to proclaim that the Swiftboating has begun and candidates declare that they will not be Swiftboated.
Swift boat veterans — especially those who had nothing to do with the group that attacked Senator John Kerry’s military record in the 2004 election — want their good name back, and the good names of the men not lucky enough to come home alive. |

Like Goebbels lamenting the plight of the Jews. It's almost funny.
When I read tripe like this, my concept of the enormity of the damage done to the leftist psyche by the Swiftvets and POWs expands exponentially...as does my admiration for them.
What a pathetic, owned hack this Zernike is. |

Having had the honor of flying airplanes in a squadron that provided intel to the Swift Boaters during the war, I felt honored again to have provided a tidbit now and then to them and to have given them my complete support during the 2004 Presidential election. Unlike Kerry and his "Band of Bums", the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth and the POWs who joined them only targeted the enemy and went out of their way to avoid "collateral damage". Kerry and his BOB were and remain to this day lying, uncaring "fire for effect" smear merchants. It's not the SBVT who dishonored the Swiftboat name, Mr. Miller, it's Kerry and his BOB and the Lamestream Leftist media. Do you still vote Democrat?
