What will John Kerry’s defenders say now? Thomas Lipscomb has done some of the most extensive research on John Kerry’s claims about his service in Vietnam and the Swift Boat Vets counter claims. his piece today at Real Clear Politics is the coup de gracie.
Without a doubt John Kerry is a bold faced liar and never earned his first purple heart.
As the Kate Zernike front page Memorial Day weekend New York Times story indicates, a number of Kerry supporters were disappointed that Kerry had not vigorously defended himself against the charges of the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth during the 2004 Presidential campaign. According to Zernike some “are compiling a dossier that they say will expose every one of the Swift boat group’s charges as a lie and put to rest any question about Mr. Kerry’s valor in combat.”
That might not only be a difficult task but it could backfire badly. As Vanity Fair’s acerbic columnist Michael Wolff said in the 3-minute 2-second trailer to a Kerry-sponsored (and Kerry-censored) documentary campaign film by respected producer Steve Rosenbaum, Inside the Bubble, the real problem with the Swift Boat claims was they were “largely true.” And as former Dean of the Stanford Law School Bayless Manning has cautioned enthusiastic advocates, “As an attorney, you needn’t worry too much about the lies told by your opponents. Your real danger is the lies told by your client.” Ask the ghost of Alger Hiss.
You have to read the whole thing. Particularly if you are foolish enough to have believed anything John Kerry ever said.

Frankly, I really don’t care about John Kerry. I honestly think a pet hamster would handily beat him for the Democratic nomination in 2008.
Kerry and his minions and his parrots in the left blogosphere are just going to keep on repeating, ad nauseum, that the Swifties are proven liars - this way, they hope, by 2008 the Swifties will be so compromised in the public mind that no one will pay them much attention.
It won’t work, but Kerry is just dumb enough to think it will - at any rate, it keeps him busy and keeps us entertained.
You can apply that to Kerry supporters as well. Both of em.
