Swift Boat Liars for Bush

Damn these liars and republican funded scumbags.

Let's run it down. These quotes are handy to have, especially if you email the editor of your local Texas Panhandle Paper to stop this crap. CLICK HERE TO SEND YOUR LETTER. (Using Shrub's own site! Tee Hee!)

-Roy Hoffman, today: "John Kerry has not been honest."
-Roy Hoffman, 2003: "I am not going to say anything negative about him -- he's a good man."

-Adrian Lonsdale, today: "He lacks the capacity to lead."
-Adrian Lonsdale, 1996: "He was among the finest of those Swift boat drivers."

-George Elliot, today: "John Kerry has not been honest about what happened in Vietnam."
-George Elliot, 1996: "The fact that he chased an armed enemy down is something not to be looked down upon, but it was an act of courage."

-Larry Thurlow, today: "...there was no hostile enemy fire directed at my boat or at any of the five boats operating on the river that day."
-Larry Thurlow's Bronze Star citation, 1969: "...all units began receiving enemy small arms and automatic weapons fire from the river banks."

-Dr. Louis Letson, today: "I know John Kerry is lying about his first Purple Heart because I treated him for that injury."
-Medical records, 1968: "Dr. Letson's name does not appear on any of the medical records for Mr. Kerry. Under 'person administering treatment' for the injury, the form is signed by a medic, J. C. Carreon, who died several years ago."

-Grant Hibbard, today: "He betrayed all his shipmates. He lied before the Senate."
-Grant Hibbard's evaluation of Kerry, 1968: "Mr. Hibbard gave Mr. Kerry the highest rating of 'one of the top few' in three categories--initiative, cooperation and personal behavior. He gave Mr. Kerry the second-best rating, 'above the majority,' in military bearing."

Some more FACTS:
-Kerry has released his ENTIRE military record on his web site.
-There was a link: A Bush advisor just resigned after appearing in a SBLB ad AFTER Bushistas denied any ties.
-There was a link: The Bush camapign office in FL was passing out flyers promoting this sh** AFTER Bushistas denied any ties.
-
The team that made this anti-Kerry ad is the same group that made commercials for Bush Sr. against Dukakis in 1988.
-
This is the team who engineered the despicable smearing of John McCain in the 2000 South Carolina primary, on behalf of George W. Bush.

Bottom line here . . .
We have a sitting President allowing a decorated veteran to be slandered in public in order to advance his political aspirations. An administration filled with men who had "other priorities" and important family connections when the call to service in Vietnam came. An administration who has sent 1,000 American soldiers home in steel coffins in the name of lies and war profiteering.
