Check out Josh Marshall going almost into Daily Howler mode over the Swift Boat Liars for Bush and the ridiculous puffball treatment their cheap sleaze-slinging is getting from our pathetic political press corps in this 08/18/04 post.
He cites a couple of new pieces on the Swift Boat Liars:
Unfriendly Fire Slate 08/18/04
Records Counter a Critic of Kerry Washington Post 08/19/04
Marshall also cites this 08/13/04 exchange illustrating how Bush is using his Potemkin crowds, screened to include only loyal devotees of Bush the Magnificent, to promote Oxycontin-radio-type smears against Kerry. See our classy president in action:
Q On behalf of Vietnam veterans -- and I served six tours over there -- we do support the President. I only have one concern, and that's on the Purple Heart, and that is, is that there are over 200,000 Vietnam vets that died from Agent Orange and were never -- no Purple Heart has ever been awarded to a Vietnam veteran because of Agent Orange because it's never been changed in the regulations. Yet, we've got a candidate for President out here with two self-inflicted scratches, and I take that as an insult. (Applause.)
THE PRESIDENT: Well, I appreciate that. Thank you. Thank you for your service. Six tours? Whew. That's a lot of tours.
Let's see, who've we got here? You got a question?
