Here's the latest reference to the Swift Vets by the Associated Press. I have seen that meme so many times by the AP. This story is nothing more than a press release by the Obama camp. Obama has let it be known that he won't allow himself to be, as he calls it, "Swiftboated" and uses attack tactics to respond to criticisms. So, the AP runs with that and puts up heaps of bias for their boy.

Obama's reference was to the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, an outside group that in 2004 made unsubstantiated allegations about Democratic nominee John Kerry's decorated military record in Vietnam.

So, there was nothing but "unsubstantiated allegations." Those are the maddening words.

We've seen it before, we'll see it again. And I'll be just as pissed every time.

In December 1968, at the time Kerry says he spent Christmas in Cambodia being fired upon by South Vietnamese soldiers celebrating Christmas on guard duty, even inadvertent incursions into Cambodia were illegal and were prevented by patrol boats on the rivers and canals all along the South Vietnam/Cambodia border. Further, Kerry could not possibly have been delivering food and ammunition and other supplies to the Khmer Rouge because they were virtually nonexistent in 1968, and they were Communist Guerrillas on the side of the North Vietnamese and the Viet Cong. Further, President Nixon couldn't have ordered him to enter Cambodia because Richard Nixon had not yet taken office.

Such manufactured events "seared" into John Kerry's memory should trouble you as much as they trouble me regarding his honesty and his judgment. The same holds true for Kerry's version of the "No Man Left Behind" Incident on the Bay Hap River, which the undisputed facts show occurred as the Swiftvets described and not the way Kerry wrote up the encounter in his official after action report and in his diary.

If John Kerry intentionally misrepresented his activities in order to "embelish" his war record, shame on him for lying. If he actually believed they were true the way he wrote them up and as he entered them into his own diary, he has serious mental or psychological deficiencies and needs therapy. Either way, John Kerry was then and will always be "Unfit For Command".

As I recall, Kerry never mentioned any incursions into Cambodia until after he wrote a review on Apolcalypse Now.

The left will forever repeat the unsubstantiated claim that the Swifties made unsubstantiated claims against their boy.

One fact will forever remain, though, he lost!!!!!!!

Vietnam war veteran and Poet Laureate Russ Vaughn put it best with his article Tap, Tap, Tap, which includes these lines:

The vindication we’ll accept
In settling up this long-held debt,
Is each of us will do his best
To deny you, John, your life-long quest.

Listen carefully John to what we say,
November 2nd is Veterans’ Day.

If I'm drawing a correct conclusion from my "Google News Alerts", this particular AP story and its preposterous "unsubstantiated" leftist meme is getting some pretty good circulation. However, you can also find evidence that the canard is not universal, even among leftist friendly news organizations.

Here's an example from today's CNN...(emphasis mine)
