Group warns against 'Swift Boat' attacks

FREE SPEACH DEMOCRATS HAVE ONLY ONE SPEACH

SOCIALISM

Sounds like censorship. Swift boat ads were a recollection of Viet Nam vets who wanted the people of America to see what an empty suit John Kerry was and still is!

Bring it on "Accountable America" or whoever you claim you are. While you're at it you also may want to try checking out donors on the other side as well. Why don't we start with George Soros and Moveon.org to name a few

Only the democrat party could come up with this; threatening those who would dare use facts to criticize their candidate.

Maybe Accountable America should start with Media Matters? sounds like a great plan to stifle First Amendment rights to Freedom of Speech with matters of politics... John Kerry made his service an issue in the last election first. He deserved what he got..He sold out his fellow soldiers by calling them rapists and murderers, fabricated injuries to get him home earlier, botched missions, filled out his own purple heart paperwork, shot a half naked teenage boy on a beach, took a 35mm camera with him for future campaign shots, threw away his medals, lied about his alleged secret Christmas mission in Cambodia and then sought to use his Vietnam experience a a ticket to the White House...How dare the Swift Boaters expose John Kerry for what he is...a fraud and a sell out!

Hey, Accountable America: Account this! Obama is in the big leagues and its all fair game. As the Senator from New York said, if he cant take the heat, he should stay out of the kitchen...wussies..Maybe Accountable America can account for Barack Obama's failure to show us a legitmate birth certificate, documenting where he was born and when? There's your Pulitzer Prize Foon, if you want one..

Seems to me that no one ever produce any evidence that the "Swift Boaters" did not tell the truth. In fact, if John Kerry has made his entire medical record public and it proved the Swift Boaters had lied he would have won the election. One has to wonder why Mr. Kerry did not want the world to see those records. What was he hiding?

What? No mention that Tom Matzzie, a former official of the rather radical (to say the least) group MoveOn and well-known left-wing operative, is leading this new group?

Don't let facts stand in the way of a good story, Boston Globe. Why report whole truths, anyway? Much easier to sway voters if you only let your readers in on the "facts" you want them to read...

The Swift Boat Veterans for Truth merely pointed out that John Kerry lied to America saying he witnessed US soldiers committing war crimes and that he turned his back on his “brothers in arms” to advance his political career. Hopefully Americans will appreciate hearing the truth about Senator Obama, regardless of the source, as it is unlikely that they will get it from the Globe’s editorial staff.

What is the matter with you people? Kerry was a decorated vet. He didn't deserve what the Swift-Boaters did, and he should've fought back. We've got more than a few idiots in the White House who did whatever they could to not serve, yet they don't any grief, even when they chastise others. The Republicans fight dirty, as we've seen over and over again. They cannot even keep their lies straight. Something needs to be done. Whether or not this will help is another issue all together, but I'm glad someone's doing this.

You guys commenting here are all pretty funny. Maybe Kerry was an empty suit...maybe he did speak out against a war that he participated in but you know...he did participate in it so he can have whatever feelings he wants towards it. Saying that he "fabricated injuries to get him home earlier" is a tad ridiculous though I'm sorry.

I'm all for truthful advertisements against either candidate. Those "swift boat" ads have long been proven to have skirted the realm of truth and that came from the people that made them. Kerry lost because the media machine pointed out his flip-flopping past (and present) and because he couldn't stand up to the fire like he once did during and after the war.

Let the truth prevail in our arguments.

This is all very sad. No matter what you think of John Kerry's politics or his post-service actions the real FACTS are the Swift Boat Vets for Truth lied. None of them were there and every soldier that was has backed John Kerry's account of what happened. It's sad when someone risks their life for this country and people are far more concerned with destroying that instead of arguing against his politics. The term "swift-boating" has become common parlance because of how heinous and false those attacks were. I suppose EVERY soldier that was there was also lying and they all conspired to win John Kerry some medals. Democrats should use that money not to threaten but to rebuke/attack back. (Also, it's free speech, not "SPEACH".)

I wo

Anybody is free to speak out against Senator Obama. What part of "those providing information that leads to the conviction or judgment against a conservative or business-related organization that violates campaign finance laws."

Based upon the post of our right wing friends here, one would think the quote read something like this. "those providing information that leads to the conviction or judgment against a conservative or business-related organization that attacks Senator Obama."

Whether your a Democrat or Republican, you should be obeying our campaign finance laws. And anyone who disrespects those laws should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

When I watched John Kerry's testimony in front of the Senate, I was honored that that man was the democratic nominee. I certainly disagreed with the Swift Boat Vets. However, in a society that justly supports free speech, they had a right to spew their propaganda. However, we have a right to call groups like them, and their donors, out on their lies. Now they know that we will.

You Republicans put me to SLEEP.....The only way to attempt to win is through mud-slinging untruths...

This is comical. You people really need to get your facts straight. SBVT was a political group formed solely to prevent John Kerry from being elected (perhaps another way of playing dirty in a DEMOCRATIC election?? ie. Karl Rove??) FACT: NO MEMBERS OF SBVT WERE ABOARD KERRY'S BOAT DURING THE INCIDENTS THAT SBVT CLAIMED. MOST Of THEM DIDN'T EVEN SERVE THE SAME TIME AS KERRY IN VIETNAM. Also several members that joined SBVT PRAISED Kerry's conduct in the Vietnam War! ALL living members of Kerry's crew praised him and supported his Presidential Bid. Interesting here is a heroic individual that has SACRIFICED his time and LIFE for his country and is ridiculed by others that don't have an OUNCE of courage that he did. HOW CAN SO MANY AMERICANS BE SO STUPID TO BELIEVE THIS CRAP. Couldn't it be that you are all insecure and very fearful people.

"Don't let facts stand in the way of a good story, Boston Globe. "

They sure soft-peddled the story, didn't they? The NY Times noted that they're not just going after 527's, they're trying to threaten ANYONE that gives significant money to the GOP, including threats of lawsuits and digging into the donors privacy. And they're making these threats out in the open. All this punk Mattzie needs is some brown shirts and a nice pair of jackboots, and he's set.

Hard core Republicans love McCain because he's such a bully, and that's impressive to other bullies!

Why don't you take the time to search the real truth about McCain and his so call honorable 20 or so hours of flying while in the Navy?

His nickname was "ACE" because he took down 5 American planes! That's right, he was a loser as a naval figher pilot!

Why doesn't the Swift Boater's offer the full history of McCain?

Here's something on the web you might find interesting...
McCain’s most horrendous loss occurred in 1967 on the USS Forrestal. Well, not horrendous for him. The starter motor switch on the A4E Skyhawk allowed fuel to pool in the engine. When the aircraft was “wet-started,” an impressive flame would shoot from the tail. It was one of the ways young hot-shots got their jollies. Investigators and survivors took the position that McCain deliberately wet-started to harass the F4 pilot directly behind him. The cook off launched an M34 Zuni rocket that tore through the Skyhawk’s fuel tank, released a thousand pound bomb, and ignited a fire that killed the pilot plus 167 men. Before the tally of dead and dying was complete, the son and grandson of admirals had been transferred to the USS Oriskany.

Think about it....

If you're not a bully, and not afraid of truth....look it up

Please inform this group of anti-american cowards that the truth does hurt and we still have a right to speak it despite groups like this collection of morons!

Semer Fi

The "swift boat veterans for truth" were neither truthful nor swift!

Anyone who claims otherwise is both a liar and a coward, hiding behind invented "facts" to spread false messages that feed on ignorant people's fear and greed.

It would be nice if republicals could run a campaign any other way, but it would be foolish for anyone to believe that any republical candidate could win if they actually told the truth or ran on the issues.

Keep up the good work Accountable America!!!

As long as we're dealing with ancient history, why hasn't anyone brought up McCain's involvement with the Keating Five? He got more than $100,000. He was even cited for questionable conduct!

And the Swift Boat guys were totally refuted. It's just the Fox didn't report it. So conservatives never heard it.

John Edwards has admitted to his affair while his wife was undergoing cancer treatments. Go to ABC or FOX web sites to read story.

Slimeball!!!!

Sounds like the perfect VP choice for the Slimeball Party!!!

Dee: You make the Swift Boaters look like legitimate historians. Your account of what happened on the USS Forrestal is simply "something on the web", as you admit. It's political pornography. I'll take a bully over a lying coward any day of the week...that's what you are.

what war did bush fight in...oh yeah he hid in his dad's shadow while people like kerry did his duty...Bush is the the real tool...

America (The United States of America) the country is great but the Democrat Party is sucks and ignorant.There are too many blind mice in the DemocraticParty.

left wingers still think they are running against bush.thats the bush who has kept terrorist from attacking america who lined up pakistani support,who liberated afganistan and iraq,who brought libya back into mainstream world interaction,contained the north koreans,implemented left wing us border non control,implemented left wing social programs and now apparently has expelled russia from georgia averting world war III

This is really sad... I sense an UPRISING ahead -- if the republicans win, it will be because of swift boat tactics and not the issues.

People are suffering and they have addressed nothing to solve the problem!!! One of these parties will win and if the "wrong" one win THERE WILL BE A REVOLUTION!!!

AND I plan to be in it. THIS IS POLITICS AS USUAL FOR HYPOCRITE REPUBLICANS, BUT THIS ELECTION IS SO MUCH BIGGER THAN THAT!
