How can we forget the Swift Boat Vet ads targeted at John Kerry? They accused him of such nonsense as taking a Purple Heart for a cut on his that finger healed with a band-aid. Unfortunately the drones of the USA believed the Vet ads. Repeating lies was shown to work (as Goebbels always knew), and thus the Republican Party has adopted this strategy as gospel.

The latest use of this SBV strategy is coming from Arthur Finkelstein, who is now setting up a PAC to defeat Senator Hillary Clinton in 2006. Finkelstein wants to set up an advertising slander campaign targeting Senator Clinton similar to the one launched against John Kerry. Finkelstein is known for running such trashy campaigns when helping Senator Jessie Helms (R-NC) and Gov. George Pataki (R-NY). During the 1996 presidental race, Finkelstein gave Bob Dole the phrase “spend and tax liberal” to use against Bill Clinton.

There is one chink in the armor - Mr. Finkelstein is gay. On April 8, 2005, the Times reported that he had married his male partner in a civil ceremony at his home in Massachusetts.

Wasn’t it the Republican President Bush who wants an ammendment to ban this sort of thing? Then they turn around and worship this Finkelstein for being able to spread lies to further the GOP Family Values agenda. This shows the GOP has always been making deals with the Devil in the back room and shaking hands with God in the Sanctuary.
