THEY WEREN'T EVEN ON HIS BOAT!


LYING LIARS...

A group of Vietnam veterans who served on swiftboats alongside John Kerry's naval craft accuse the Democratic presidential nominee of lying about his military record in a television ad set to air Thursday in three competitive states.

The group, Swiftboat Veterans for Truth, says it is spending $500,000 -- a modest amount -- to run the 60-second ad in Ohio, West Virginia and Wisconsin for a week.

The ad shows footage of Kerry in Vietnam while 13 veterans question Kerry's account of his service that led to a Bronze Star, Silver Star and three Purple Hearts. The men criticizing Kerry served on swiftboats but not on Kerry's boat. [my emphasis]
...
Kerry's campaign hastily set up a conference call today in which members of Kerry's crew countered the ad's claims.

"I don't know how these guys can stretch the truth like this," said Del Sandusky, who was on Kerry's swiftboat.


How many times have I (or you) heard these guys promoed with "who served with John Kerry in Vietnam..." Yeah, right, served with -- in other words, were there at the same time but not in the boat with him and not beside him when he was saving his crewmates' lives.
