Offensive, perhaps. But true.

The Swift Boat Lying Liar Scumbags (I've just about run out of euphemisms for them) latest ad campaign claims that John Kerry's allegations of war crimes in his 1971 speech are "offensive." That may very well be, but as Todd Gitlin reports in Salon, they are also true. Go read this transcript of the Detroit hearings referenced in Kerry's speech. Yes, the testimony is horrifying. This is what the Johnson and Nixon Administrations did in our name. But what's even more horrifying is that we are doing it all over again in Iraq. And no amount of flag-waving or Kerry-smearing is going to change that.

We are Americans. This Administration is acting as our representative to the world. Support this Administration , and you are telling the world you support the mass slaughter of civilians in the name of liberating them, you support the horrors of Abu Ghraib, and you support having a leader who's both incurious AND evil.
