Swifty media... part II

Hey kids. It's been a while since I made a post… But you are safe to know this is not about politics… Just kidding!

Here is part TWO!


Finally the group "SWIFT BOAT VETS FOR TRUTH" is getting some media attention. As anyone could have guessed, they are just being attacked. Well they are not being attacked so much as the republicans and good ol Bushy Bush. If you ever hear the news you will notice that CBS often refers to the Republican supported group SBVFT. But there is one problem with that. There are just as many democrats in that group as republican. Yes a rich voting American citizen who happens to live in Texas threw down a chunk of change to help pay for commercial spots is a republican. But what does that even matter?

Recently Sen. John Kerry has told these "right wing attack dogs" that they are lying… That these decorated vets are being paid for by bush, and that bush should stop these heartless attacks. It is funny, Michael Moore spends a ton of money on a film, and the press praises it. They say, " Obviously its Mr. Moore's opinion and perspective but it should be seen by everyone to open up the lines of debate." And now here is a thirty second commercial being blasted by everyone in the media, and on the left. No one wants to debate or debunk these charges, especially John Kerry. Moore, is supported by John and many others, but Bush hasn't endorsed the vets, he hasn't denounced them, he is just letting the people have their voice. Disagree or not, people have the right to say what they want, if its un-true, Challenge them, show your facts, don't just cut them down.


Maybe a debate about these days in Vietnam that Mr. Kerry has so chosen to use as is centerpiece for his candidacy, perhaps I just need patients to here both sides.
