Reply #2: The only people Kerry and McCain "betrayed" in the POW issue

[MH1]

were the charlatans exploiting the grief of families of POWs.

Ted Sampley & company are a wholly different crew than the Swift Liars, although I am sure they were happy to enable the Liars in 2004.

What would be interesting is if the Swift Liars, Inc. were to use their considerable $$$ to drive a stake in the heart of Sampley's much more rag-tag organization.

As despicable as their tactics were, at least I can comprehend the motivation for the Swift Liars as genuine anger at Kerry's actions after he returned from Vietnam. (Well, at least the motivations of the rank and file swifties - the moneymen are still a different story). The Sampley crew, however, is completely lower than slime, except of course any of his followers who have only followed them because of having their grief over a loved one exploited.
