Swiftboat Propaganda From The Left

Here is another quote from the commentator known as Jason Krueger:

“[McCain’s] ‘integrity’ was further sacrificed when he supported the ‘swift boat’ lies against a fellow service member, John Kerry”
Much like the vicious lies about Palin, this utterly unsubstantiated assertion is popping up all over the net.

1) McCain strongly denounced the swift boat ads. I happen to think he was wrong to do so.

2) To the best of my knowledge, McCain has NEVER “supported” any assertions from “Swift Vets and POWs for Truth”. I defy ANYONE to prove he EVER has!

3) I defy ANYONE to prove even ONE lie anywhere in ANY of the assertions from “Swift Vets and POWs for Truth”! Their web site is found here.

4) Kerry’s own words, recorded for posterity and replayed in this ad are what ultimately torpedoed Kerry. What is SHOCKING and DISGUSTING is that Kerry got as many votes as he did.

5) I’m guessing this sort of brazenly false Leftist propaganda is what SP&T was looking to promote when they successfully sought to rid their site of most of the Conservative commentators.

In the same thread, the commentator known as Jason Krueger is now repeating an e-mail rumor by claiming that “McCain was so incompetent he crashed 5 aircraft before becoming a POW”.

Quoting FactCheck.org:

“McCain did lose two Navy aircraft while piloting them, both due to engine failure. A third was destroyed on the deck of the carrier USS Forrestal when a missile fired accidentally from another plane hit either the plane next to McCain's or, less likely, his own aircraft, triggering a disastrous fire that killed 134 sailors and nearly killed McCain. A fourth plane was lost when he was shot down over North Vietnam on a bombing mission over Hanoi. There's no evidence that any of the four destroyed planes were lost to pilot error.”

The link goes on to note McCain’s many “medal citations and commendations”
