So, you were on the boat that day and can without a doubt say that there was enemy fire? You saw the wounds on Kerry?
If not, then you have simply made a choice on who to believe.
The left has been slandering Bush in the same way and to be disgusted by this and not the other is partisan hypocrisy at its worst.
You want to believe that everything Kerry got was legitimate because it went through the proper channels then fine. So do I. But I also give the same credit to Bush because everything he got with regard to his military service and discharge went through proper military channels.
For those in this thread claiming that Move On and others have reported nothing but "truth" let me remind you of the questions they threw around about Bush's military service. They questioned every aspect of his service. They demanded records, they trotted out people who claimed "well I don't remember meeting him" as evidence that he didn't serve. Every scrap of paper the military released and Bush himself released was shot down as "inconclusive".
Well, as stated before, you can't have it both ways. Either the military knew what it was doing when they authorized Kerry's medals and Bush's discharge or they didn't. They both went through the approval processes and as far as the military is concerned they are equally valid.
The 527 groups hold no accountability to accuracy and have no limits on what can be spent by individuals. If you want to criticize the Swift Boat group because they're supported by a couple of Republican stalwarts then stand up and hold the other 527s equally accountable because they're supported by long time Democratic forces.
