“[The] mainstream media refuse to pursue [Kerry’s war record charges]. They have an agenda. The agenda is to bring down George Bush. If they really made these charges a burning issue, Kerry would go down in flames. Because they refuse to make these matters an issue, they won’t be." — Paul M. Weyrich, Accuracy in Media, 8/17/04

COLUMNIST’S NOTE: The following is an in-depth analysis of the 24-hour smear campaign that John Kerry, his media allies and his countless anti-Bush ‘527’ groups have launched against the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, in a deliberate Bill Clinton-style ploy to shift the focus of the group’s valid charges away from Kerry’s alleged war crime accusations he leveled against them in a 1971 Senate hearing, to the Left’s false, trumped-up charges against President Bush. It is a calculated attempt to use this leftist media-generated controversy to further discredit Bush’s re-election bid this fall.

Thank you! What a fabulous piece. It's long, but well worth the read!

While it's copyright protected, I'm hoping to pass along to as many as possible.

Hate to pick nits, but his "Edwards lie" about Edwards high draft number is not a lie. (I know, who cares about Edwards)
Supposedly, nobody from the 2/72 draft was drafted. ( The 2/72 draft was for 1973 commitments. ) This lottery was conducted for men who would have been called in 1973; however, no new draft orders were issued after 1972.

After the 1st lottery(12/69), there was no number higher than 125 used for the draft, so Edwards # of 178 WAS high.

If this writer couldn't do his research on this simple thing, what else might be wrong with his article ?
