Well, you can't really say they're after truth any more. They've been exposed as the biggest lying liars since Bill "Let Me Loofah Your Loins" O'Liely.
The normally biased lazy media has retraced the swifties tracks. The swifties in the past have attacked the circumstances under which Kerry received his Silver Star for events that happened on February 28, 1969. But
abc news has gone to Viet Nam and found witnesses to the fierce firefight that took place. It seems that much more was going on than Kerry firing at "a lone, wounded, fleeing, young Vietcong in a loincloth," as the swifties had claimed.
And what of the swifties research into the matter?
"Back in Tran Thoi, villager Nguyen Van Khoai said that about six months ago he was visited by an American who described himself as a Swift boat veteran and told him another American from the Swift boats was running for president of the United States. Nguyen said the man was accompanied by a cameraman.
'They say he didn't do anything to deserve the medal,' Nguyen said. 'The other day, they came and asked me the questions and I said that the recognition for the medal is up to the U.S.A.'
He said that, after they met, the Swift Boat veteran and the cameraman turned around and went back down the river. Nightline has not been able to identify the men."
