The swiftboating of Sen. John Kerry continues [View all]

As Sen. Kerry's name is floated as a possible Sec. of State or (gasp) Sec. of Defense, you knew it was going to happen. The right-wing hate machine is reaching back into their 2004 notes to resurrect their tired old swiftboating campaign.

It is absolutely DISGUSTING to watch these rethugs climb all over themselves to tarnish a decorated veteran - especially the DAY AFTER VETERANS DAY.
