vicious attack

Even though he’s not even secured the nomination (but who are we kidding at this point?), Obama’s already been threatened by…wait for it…the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth.

From the Washington Post:

We will attack Obama viciously on all fair issues, whether they are national security, whether they are taxes or the economy,” promised Chris LaCivita, one of the Republican strategists behind the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, the group that attacked Democratic presidential candidate John F. Kerry in 2004.

Now, I don’t think Barack Obama fought in Vietnam. In fact, I don’t think he was old enough to fight in Vietnam, honestly. He definitely didn’t testify to the senate in the 1960s about the activities of Vietnam vets, so why are the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth planning a “vicious” attack? Because, apparently, they’re actually not a group of concerned veterans but a Republican lobbying group.

Isn’t that special?

And to think that for four years, I really thought they weren’t attacking John Kerry for his party or his politics, that they were still just really bitter about Vietnam! Who knew?

Oh, that’s right. I did. But apparently, not very many people did, as The Shrub got four more years.

We are a country full of geniuses. Apparently, most of them live in West Virginia.
