Swifties Redux : ABC Re-Writes History
Over at Little Green Footballs, Charles takes note of this bunch of leftwing sour grapes from ABC News, where “more Americans get their news...” according to ABC.
April 4, 2007— While Congress is out of session, President Bush flexed his executive power muscle, appointing businessman Sam Fox as U.S. ambassador to Belgium less than a week after his nomination was pulled when Senate Democrats hammered away at him for donating money to a conservative group that helped sink Sen. John Kerry’s 2004 presidential campaign.
Kerry and Sen. Chris Dodd, D-Conn., led Senate Democrats’ opposition to Fox, who in 2004 contributed $50,000 to the slanderous Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, which used a series of television ads to undermine Kerry’s combat record.
Despite his grilling by Democrats, Fox, the national chairman of the Jewish Republican Coalition, refused to apologize for his donation.
Like Charles Johnson, I seem to have missed the part where the “Swifties” accusations of John Kerry were publicly proven false. Actually, of course, their accusations were far more truthful and well-documented than those made by the Democrats against the military record of President Bush.
