Kerry Campaign Endorses Swift Boat Veterans for Truth

Kerry campaign spokesperson Stephanie Cutter unwittingly but unmistakably endorsed the motivation, if not the message, of the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, although she was explaining Kerry's decision to attack the Swiftees:

"When somebody's attacking your military record, you reach a boiling point, and he reached a boiling point last night," Ms. Cutter explained. "When you go and fight in a war, when you spill blood for your country, your instinct is to fight back and defend your record."

As the new ad from the SBVT makes clear, these veterans did not like it when John Kerry described them to the US Senate in 1971 as war criminals and rapists who operated like an army of Genghis Khan. And they still don't like it.

Dude it only is justified to fight back if you are A) a democrat and B) running for elected office. If you are not a democrat or are just a private citizen then you are not justified in defending your record. Democrat politicians have the divne DNC given right to criticize any citizen that is not an elected or appointed democrat politician without reprisal. Don't you get it yet?
