Swift boat veterans for enormous lies

Do you suspect that the swift boat veterans against Kerry are lying? Would you like the details on how and why without having to do all the footwork yourself? Here goes.

Here's one account by another swift boat skipper who was there. He broke a 35 year silence on the topic because he couldn't stand to hear the lying any longer.

It's on the Kerry/Edwards blog, but was originally published in the Chicago Tribune.

Here's a couple of other sites

http://swiftvets.eriposte.com/

I'm not familiar with either of these sites, but they appear reasonable and were recommended by smart folks. Let me know if you see anything wrong with them.

The New York Time article was good and had a great graphic showing the connections between Bush supporters and the notsoswift boaters. Here's the link, but you'll have to pay to see the article at this point.

If anyone still has a hardcopy of the article or the chart, I'd love to have a copy.

The Daily Howler goes into detail here.
