US News and World Report says the Swift Boat Vets are back
The gang that brought us the anti-Kerry Swift Boat Veterans for Truth have a new campaign headed to TVs this week: pushing national standards for driver's licenses. The stated goal: Stop terrorists from getting the ID. The ads, sponsored by the Coalition for a Secure Driver's License, are meant to back legislation on Capitol Hill. Starting this week, a scary ad from the GOP firm Stevens Reed Curcio & Potholm, producers of the Swift Boat ads, appears in Washington. Why them? "These guys can really capture hearts and minds," says a coalition executive.
Nothing new on the vet's web site.
No mention on the Stevens Reed Curcio & Potholm web site either.
Update: For the record, I admire the Swift Vets, but if this story pans out it's a mistake. The power of the group was in their relationship to Kerry - they had first hand knowledge and a sense of duty. That was an example of catching lightning in a bottle - it won't happen again.
