The New York Times has finally come through against the barrage of right-wing lies against John Kerry. They have exposed the connections to Bush and taken apart the lies of the veterans.
Also, on the same day that the Bush-Cheney campaign repeatedly denied coordinating attacks with the anti-Kerry group "Swift Boat Veterans for Truth," the Bush-Cheney campaign in Florida was caught promoting a rally in Gainesville for the group.
A flyer being distributed at the Alachua County Republican party headquarters, which doubles as the Bush-Cheney campaign headquarters for the county, promotes a weekend rally sponsored by "Swift Boat Vets for Truth, Veterans for Bush, Alachua Bush/Cheney Committee," and others.
"George Bush has disgraced himself by allowing his campaign to promote the ugly smears being spread by the group Swift Boat Veterans for Truth," said Scott Maddox, Chairman of the Florida Democratic Party. "The Bush campaign has repeatedly denied any involvement with this group, but now we know the real truth. While George Bush falsely declares his respect for John Kerry's war record, his henchmen on the ground in Florida are attacking it under the radar."
I found Kerry communications director Stephanie Cutter's attack of Scott McClellan quite amusing too:
"Mr. McClellan needs to understand that John Kerry is not the type of leader who will sit and read `My Pet Goat' to a group of second graders while America is under attack. John Kerry is a fighter, and he doesn't tolerate lies from others. Some day Mr. McClellan, and George Bush, will have to face the truth about the health care and economic issues facing this country. This election is about this country and its future. When Mr. McClellan realizes that, it will be too late."

The Bush campaign has clear connections to those involved. It's not a coincidence this group has gone after two of Bush's opponents.
Yes, Bush denounces it weeks after they start and have caused their damage and a few days before they would become illegal by the new campaign laws anyway.
Bush was actually putting those children in danger by staying there. Someone could have been coming for the president. But no one disputes Bush shouldn't have frightened those kids, however he could have avoided that and still have left in a more timely manner. But he didn't stay because of the kids, he stayed because he had no idea what to do. If that video wasn't damaging, it wouldn't have taken 3 and a half years for anyone to get to see it.
