Most of the attempts to discredit the Swift Boat Veterans for Truths usually include something like this:
John O’Neill is a right wing whacko who can not be trusted.
This is not just John O’Neill:
Swift Boat Veterans for Truth has more than 250 members, many of whom were wounded or highly decorated in Vietnam.
We purchased with our blood and service the right to be heard, to set the record straight about our unit, and to tell the truth about John Kerry’s military service record.We respect Senator McCain’s right to express his opinion and we hope he extends to us the same respect and courtesy, particularly since we served with John Kerry, we knew him well and Senator McCain did not.

Sounds like RAdm Hoffmann opened up a fresh can of STFU and handed it to McCain. Good for him!

One more sheep parrotting the Soros line.

So the idea here is that these Vets are so dumb to have aligned themselves with a Nixon operative and a racist kook? Or that they just aren’t credible?
SDN
Nixonian? Which candidate has the “secret plan to end the war” again? Of course, Tacitus pretty well explained the secret: run like a stripe-assed ape!
RW
Are they stupid enough to align themselves with a discredited confessed liar who takes Soros’ money to run a blog that Paul Krugman pimps?
Rick
“Nixon operative.” Oooohhh, now I’m properly scared of David Gergen.
Oliver, your Krytonite is depleted.
Cordially…
P.S. Do you align yourself with Sen. Robert Byrd as a matter of convenience? Or Al Sharpton?
