Swift Boat Vets to set record straight

In the true form of a smear campaign, what you are spewing doesn't have to be true. Basically the Swift Boat Vets claims have been shown to be completely false.

But heck .. don't worry .. they're over that .. and on to phase two, attacking Kerry's anti-war record! http://www.factcheck.org/article.aspx?docID=244 - which if course is grossly mischaracterized.

But hey .. since when have Conservatives given a shit about the facts? As long as it makes a good sound-bite, eh?

What a load of crap.

I wonder how long we'll have to wait before Factcheck.org is accused of being a hippy, liberal warehouse. Good stuff, Prestius, thanks.:yes:

I think the people living more in the 9/10/01 world are the people believing that we're doing anything about Al Qaeda and that we went to Iraq for ONLY noble and courageous purpouses.

Moveon.org is full of facts, as is Michael Moore, Hero to liberals everywhere... What I find really interesting, is Kerry's own campaign is now stating that his first purple heart came from a self inflicted wound, but the Swift Boat Veterans are all a bunch of liars with no factual basis at all.....

Hey Jack, I don't appreciate your sarcasm.

Everyone knows the following rules:

If you speak highly of John Kerry, you are obviously telling the truth.

If you speak badly about John Kerry, you are a fucking liar.

Get it right.

But if you look back at the numbers as far as unemployement goes, and i mean go and look it up, not just take my word for it, or the medias word for it, but go find out for yourself, you might be surprised to see that Clinton's and Bush's numbers are damn near the same on the unemployement rate. Of course, he didn't have a hostile media constantly slamming everything he did, did he?

Read it and weep.

http://www.bls.gov/data/ click on Series Data, enter LNS14000000 in the search box.

Proves that the U.S. unemployment rate was lower under Clinton (1992-2000) than under Bush (2000 - 2004), though I will admit that it looks like it's coming down from 6.3% in January of 2004, which is good.

~Tirayana - edited to include the correct link and to reflect that Clinton served two terms as President.

I smell a conspiracy! <--- the obvious Rebuplican comeback

Tira, these knuckleheads will rarely read any source you submit while arguing the same old story every time without citing sources.

Or, they may resort to name-calling. Yeah, that elementary school tactic.

Still, some of them raise valid issues that do need closer examination. Our political/capatalist/supposedly-secular system is promoted as being very complex. What I learned about math is that you always break things down to the simplest equation.

Their website totally sucks.

http://www.bls.gov/data/

Click on Series Report at the top of the page and enter this number: LNS14000000. Make sure you do the data for ALL YEARS, so you can compare.

Sorry for the broken link.
