In a victory for the truth and democratic principles the defamation lawsuit
http://www.vvlf.org/... brought against Sen. John Kerry by the smear merchant Carlton Sherwood and his dirt bag pals at Swift Boat Veterans for Truth was laughed out of court on Thursday.

The Swift Liar's complaint alleged that the Democratic National Committee and others sought to prevent Sherwood during the 2004 Presidential Campaign from distributing a movie entitled "Stolen Honor," which dealt with Sherwood's views of the Senator's conduct after his military service during the Vietnam War.
The judge found the case entirly without merit, calling the claims made by Sherwood, among other things, "far-fetched".
According to Judge Fullam,
"This action for alleged defamation and related torts concerns events which occurred during the last stages of the 2004 presidential election, but most of the first 102 paragraphs of plaintiffs' complaint rehearse the alleged misdeeds of persons and organizations protesting the Vietnam War, in the 1970s".
(102 paragraphs? Sounds like a conspiracy theory to me)
"To summarize, I conclude that plaintiffs cannot prevail on their defamation claims against either of the defendants."
The American legal system proved to be inhospitable to the Lies and Scum of this GOP controlled front group. Just as John O'Neil's patron Richard (Tricky Dick) Nixon wilted before the power of the judicial branch so did his little minions. Justifying his good name John Kerry did a service to himself and all those Fighting Dems running in 06 by proving before a court that these groups are proven to be the lowest for of humanity: Liars. Sen. Kerry should be praised for his continuous twilight struggle against the Rovian smear machine
Let us Democrats remember August 3rd as the day the battle shifted. Yesterday in Pennsylvania fighting democrats took to the streets in Johnstown led by Sen. Max Cleland and Eric Massa to stand up with John Murtha. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/... . John Kerry carried the same fight to a Pennsylvania court room. In both places the truth defeated slime. Sen. Kerry promised the fighting Dems that he wouldn't allow the smear tactics of 04 to be repeated in 06. He has kept the faith and is finally bringing the fight to them.
