Are we living on Bizarro world or something? Or have we had "opposite day" for the last 4 years and no one told the Democrats?!

Honoring The Swift Boat Vets Who Really, Truly Have No Connection to Bush

FOXNews.com has an article on upcoming honors to be awarded the Smear Boat Liars for Bush (as News Hound Nancy dubbed them). From the tone of the praise heaped on these guys, you'd think their last tour of duty in the election was more important than the one in the military. Considering the military records of the current administration, they may well think just that.

The veterans are due to get a "Courage Under Fire" award Friday, 2/18/05.

"These guys could have just gone on with their lives but they felt strongly that John Kerry's record was being misrepresented," said Richard Lessner, executive director of the American Conservative Union, chief sponsor of CPAC, which is giving the veterans the "Courage Under Fire" award during the annual Ronald Reagan banquet in Washington, D.C., on Friday. "We thought this sort of example of citizens
stepping forward under adverse conditions should be recognized," Lessner added.
"They are impressive."

"For a second time, the Swift Boat Veterans stepped up to serve their country honorably and courageously by telling the truth about John Kerry's tour of duty in Vietnam," said ACU President David Keene. "Despite vilification, character assassination and the hostility of the elite media, these veterans dared to tell a side of the story that the American people otherwise would not have heard."

So, by being funded by the repub party and flat out lying (see links below), these people get medals! What a world we live in! Gawd forbid the American public had not heard this side of the story - a complete fabrication made up by people who were not even there!
