Is Kerry's '08 solution, fight the truth by silencing it, again?

From the Boston Globe...

Kerry, who made a weekend appearance in northwest Iowa, said he is concerned that Swift Boat Veterans for Truth is again resorting to "the politics of fear and smear."

The group, financed by Texas conservatives, ran commercials questioning his record of being a decorated Vietnam veteran -- the centerpiece of his presidential campaign in 2004.

"We're not going to give them an ounce of daylight," said Kerry, who is considering another run at the Democratic presidential nomination in 2008.

First of all, I gave money to the Swift Vets, and I don't live in Texas. Methinks the Globe is playing fast and free with the truth, but then since they're obviously in bed with Kerry, that's not much of a surprise.

The Swift Vets had an important message which Kerry and the Democrats fought by trying to silence them, rather than actually addressing the issues. It seems their tactics haven't changed.
