Free speech for me, but not for thee.

So, if the Swifties were just exercising free speech, this is ok, right?

From USA Today:'Texans for Truth' ad challenges Bush on Guard service
  • In the new ad, retired lieutenant colonel Robert Mintz says he "heard George W. Bush get up there and say, 'I served in the 187th Air National Guard in Montgomery, Alabama.'

    "I said, 'Really? That was my unit. And I don't remember seeing you there,' " Mintz says. "So I called my friends and said, 'Did you know that George Bush served in our unit?' And everyone said, 'No, I never saw him there.' It would be impossible to be unseen in a unit of that size." Texans for Truth plans to spend $100,000 to $250,000 to run the ad for a week in closely contested states that are home to large numbers of families of U.S. troops killed in Iraq. Such states include Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Oregon and Arizona. But the group would not specify which states it has bought ad time in.

    The Bush-Cheney campaign is crying foul. Charges that Bush failed to fulfill his Guard duties are "baseless and false," campaign spokesman Steve Schmidt said. "The president served honorably in the National Guard, fulfilled his duties and was honorably discharged."

    Kerry-Edwards campaign spokesman Chad Clanton said, "We've never heard of this outfit," referring to Texans for Truth.
