In fact, according to documents posted on the website for Clark's 2004 presidential campaign, Clark served at least six months in Vietnam -- first as a 1st Infantry Division staff officer, then as an infantry company commander -- before he was wounded. http://mediamatters.org/items/200807020013 Wed, 2 Jul 2008 20:07:42 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200806230005 David Freddoso's upcoming book,<em> The Case Against Barack Obama</em>, will be published by Regnery, which reportedly "likens the goal of [the Obama] book to that of 'Unfit for Command,' " a widely discredited book containing numerous false and baseless attacks on John Kerry's military service. http://mediamatters.org/items/200806230005 Mon, 23 Jun 2008 18:22:29 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200711090008 On his radio show, Limbaugh claimed that the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth "were right on the money, and nobody has disproven anything they claimed in any of their ads, statements, written commentaries, or anything of the sort." In fact, most of the allegations the Swift Boat Veterans made about Sen. John Kerry's Vietnam War service during the 2004 presidential campaign have been thoroughly discredited, often by official military records, but also by the Swift Boat accusers themselves, who struggled to keep their stories straight. <br /> http://mediamatters.org/items/200711090008 Fri, 9 Nov 2007 14:17:16 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200707240001 http://mediamatters.org/items/200707240001 Tue, 24 Jul 2007 11:47:22 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200704230009 http://mediamatters.org/items/200704230009 Mon, 23 Apr 2007 18:23:38 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200704180002 http://mediamatters.org/items/200704180002 Wed, 18 Apr 2007 14:24:59 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200703300008 http://mediamatters.org/items/200703300008 Fri, 30 Mar 2007 16:38:54 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200610260013 ABC News political director Mark Halperin falsely suggested that while progressive 527 organizations with ties to the Democratic Party attacked President Bush during the 2004 election, there were no comparable groups on the right. But one of the most prominent 527 groups in the 2004 election cycle was the Swift Boat Veterans For Truth, a group with ties to both the GOP and the Bush-Cheney '04 campaign whose attacks on Democratic candidate John Kerry -- which included numerous false and discredited allegations -- received broad coverage in the media. http://mediamatters.org/items/200610260013 Thu, 26 Oct 2006 16:52:01 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200609140006 On <em>The New York Times</em>' weblog The Caucus, Kate Phillips wrote that "swift-boating became a verb for negative ads" during the 2004 presidential election. However, the group behind the ads, the Swift Boat Veterans and POWs for Truth, did much more than just run "negative ads" -- they launched a widespread smear campaign against Sen. John Kerry based on lies, factual distortions, and baseless attacks on Kerry's Vietnam War record and personal life. http://mediamatters.org/items/200609140006 Thu, 14 Sep 2006 16:34:30 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200510120001 http://mediamatters.org/items/200510120001 Wed, 12 Oct 2005 13:26:46 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200510060006 http://mediamatters.org/items/200510060006 Thu, 6 Oct 2005 17:31:19 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200507010009 http://mediamatters.org/items/200507010009 Fri, 1 Jul 2005 19:27:30 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200506100008 http://mediamatters.org/items/200506100008 Fri, 10 Jun 2005 17:58:44 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200506090006 http://mediamatters.org/items/200506090006 Thu, 9 Jun 2005 19:58:21 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200506070004 http://mediamatters.org/items/200506070004 Tue, 7 Jun 2005 16:04:58 EST
