The Hill re****ts that Brave New PAC, a liberal political action committee,
is
airing a TV ad reminiscent of the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth [1]:
In the ad, Philip Butler says he would not like to see McCain
in the White House because of the POW experience and the
Arizona senator's temperament.
Butler served alongside Sen. McCain (Ariz.) at the U.S.
Naval Academy and later was imprisoned alongside the
presumptive GOP nominee in Vietnam.
"I think I can say with authority that the prisoner-of-war
experience is not a good prerequisite for president of the
United States," Butler says in the ad, which was produced
by Brave New PAC, a political action committee associated
with the liberal film company Brave New Films.
In 2004, of course, defenders of John Kerry denounced the Swift Boat
Veterans.
Wake us up if any of them do the same with Butler.
As for us, we shall be consistent. We defended the Swift Boat guys, and we
defend
Butler. He has every right to speak his mind, and voters will decide for
themselves how much weight to give his views.

It is simply breathtaking to watch the glee and abandon with which
the liberal media and the Angry Left have been attempting to turn
our military victory in Iraq into a second Vietnam quagmire. Too bad
for them, it's failing.
