The next time someone asks about liberal media bias, just point them to this AP story about the Swift Vets. Excerpts: The Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, a group of Republican-funded Vietnam War veterans who patrolled the same Mekong Delta in Swift boats similar to the ones piloted by Navy Lt. John Kerry, challenged Kerry’s accounts of his medal-winning service and anti-war protests. Feel the bias! Republican-funded? How often have you heard MoveOn.org referred to as a “Democrat-funded” organization? And notice how the Swifties are described as “Vietnam War veterans who patrolled the same Mekong Delta in Swift boats similar to the ones piloted by Navy Lt. John Kerry.” No mention of the fact that they all served in the same unit. Or that John O’Neill took over Kerry’s Swift boat when Kerry left Vietnam. Or that Steve Gardner was Kerry’s gunner. You’d think Kerry was a complete stranger to the Swifties. It gets worse: [Kerry campaign manager Mary Beth Cahill] said it was frustrating that the first ad continued to eat up so much air time even after the central allegations were debunked. Debunked?? When did that happen? Every one of the Swifties’ charges still stands. The only debunking has been of Kerry’s Excellent Cambodian Adventure. And the lying liberal media wonders why we don’t listen to them anymore.
