Thursday, August 05, 2004Non-baseball: Kerry threats over 'Swift Vets'The Kerry campaign is now threatening to sue any television station that airs the 'Swift Boat Veterans for Truth' ad. Kerry's lawyers claim that "...not a single one of the men who pretend to have served with Senator Kerry was actually a crewmate of Senator Kerry's and the man pretending to be his doctor was not." They go on to say "...your station is responsible for the false a libelous charges made by this advertiser." I told you someone was lying. Now we just need to figure out who... I feel it is important to note that the Kerry campaign doesn't seem to have a problem with the "false and libelous charges" being made by groups such as MoveOn.org and the Media Fund or by Micheal Moore. Because, as we all know, free speech is only a right for those on the left. UPDATE: An Instapundit e-mailer responds to the accusations: The letter from Kerry's lawyers is disingenuous. It calls the Swift Boat vets frauds because none of them were "crewmates" of Kerry's. The vets claim is to have "served with" John Kerry. They actually commanded boats in the same unit. The doctor is called a fraud because he didn't do the paperwork on Kerry's first Purple Heart injury.The Kerry campaign? Fast and loose with the facts? No![/sarcasm] |
