In this case the person is Senator John McCain, who called a recent ad put out by Swift Boat Veterans for Truth "dishonest and dishonorable." All of a sudden, Senator McCain has recalled that in the last campaign cycle people supporting President Bush but not members of the campaign did a real number on him.
Those interested in this issue might want to know about how this "grassroots" organization is being funded. Joe Conason has one account; Media Matters for America has another. Both are good.
It is worth noting, as the AP story notes, that members of Kerry's actual crew have testified to his heroism; while swift boat veterans who served on other boats have testified that his heroism is largely fictitious. Which group sounds more believable is an exercise left up to the reader.
