John Kerry Sued By Vietnam Veterans
A group of Vietnam veterans, who famously libeled and slandered John Kerry during his 2004 presidential campaign, are suing him for slander and libel. What do they claim Kerry did? They say that he prevented them from airing a "documentary" that was really just a long attack advertisement, not unlike the other Swift Boat Veterans for Truth ads.
Those ads were notorious for their stretching of the truth, such a having a group of veterans saying "I served with John Kerry in Vietnam," when in fact only one member served on the same swift boat unit as the senator. The others just meant that they served in the Vietnam War at the same time as John Kerry. Kind of misleading, isn't it? They also brought forward a doctor who worked on John Kerry's wounds. This doctor was a lifelong conservative. He somehow remembered, in detail, what he described as very minor surface wounds, no worse than a scratch. How does a man happen to remember a scratch on one of the hundreds or thousands of men he worked on during the war, 30 years after the fact? Many of the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth also helped out George W. Bush gain the republican nomination in 2000, except then they used the name "POWs for Truth," and their target was John McCain. Their acts were disgusting, attacking a man who was captured and lost 6 years of his life while being held as a captive.
Liberals and conservatives alike need to join forces and bring about harsh litigation against these people. The American democratic system was suppose to encourage open discussion of issues that affect the American people, not trash people with half-truths and outright lies. These Swift Boat Veterans got George W. Bush elected twice. Read that last sentence again. How did we let this happen?
