<p>The irony is indeed a false irony. For those that think that the Swiftboat folks were not talking to George Bush’s presidential campaign, I have some bad news for you. There is no Easter bunny. What happened to Kerry was an absolute travesty. There was a coordinated, systematic and well financed attack on a man that served his country that didn’t just appear out of nowhere. While Kerry was going up river in the heat of war, George Bush was successfully defending the State of Texas from an impending and horrific invasion by the State of Oklahoma. How Kerry could have been trashed in such a way is an American tragedy, regardless of whether he protested the war after serving in it. </p>
<p>While I personally will not vote for John McCain, I will be outraged if he is “swiftboated” like Kerry. No one deserves to be treated like that and I respect John McCain for his military service. America is better than swiftboating. Enough said.</p>
