Of far greater significance than the firestorm surrounding John Kerry’s ostensible “war record,” every detail of which is being credibly contested by the organization “Swift Boat Veterans for Truth,” is the manner in which the Kerry camp and its allies in the liberal media are attempting to respond.

Their predictable and reprehensible actions serve as examples of how political war has been waged against traditional America, by the left, over the past four decades. Conversely, the Swift Boat veterans, despite being vastly outnumbered and out funded, are nonetheless winning the day, and thus stand as an example to conservatives of how to confront and overcome the liberal leviathan.

To begin with, the Swift Vets have done nothing but simply bring forth the facts, albeit in the face of enormous attempts to undermine and ultimately, silence them. But rather than engage them in direct debate (always a dangerous prospect for the intellectually vacant forces on the left), their opponents have, in the typical and cowardly fashion of bullies, threatened to sue them, along with any TV station that chooses to run their ads.

Furthermore, the Kerry campaign has officially filed a complaint with the Federal Elections Commission, contending that the federal government should forbid the ads from being run. This from the people who champion every form of “free speech and expression,” as long as it is limited to kiddie porn and taxpayer funded blasphemy. Surely, the truth has become an enemy to these people.

Nevertheless, the Swift Vets press on, and the liberal attack machine, despite its malignant efforts, has proven to be completely ineffectual at stopping them. Perhaps the most desperate, most vicious, and therefore the most telling incidents was one that occurred last week on the TV show “Crossfire,” hosted by Robert Novak. There, former Clinton cronies James Carville and Lanny Davis directly faced John O'Neill, co-author of “Unfit for Command,” the Swift Vets’ book detailing the flagrant deficiencies of Kerry’s wartime (and post-war) activities.
