Swift-Boating Obama – ReTHUGlican Style: It wasn’t until August 4th, 2004 that the self-named Swift Boat Veterans for Truth launched their first tv ad attacking Senator John Kerry. This year, the Swift-Boating of the current Democratic Nominee, Senator Barack Obama, already has begun, and a week early. Only one veteran is leading the attack, former Navy Captain, John McCain.

It is the same McCain who made this comment at that time: “I think the ad is dishonest and dishonorable. As it is none of these individuals served on the boat (Kerry) commanded. Many of his crew-mates have testified to his courage under fire. I think John Kerry served honorably in Vietnam.”
