Discredited by Whom?

Scott Johnson at Power Line Blog provides a fine summary of the untruth so often repeated in the media that the 2004 claims of the Swift Boat Veterans were quickly “discredited”. I can’t improve on Scott's post concerning this point, but will note as a fine example that the Boston Globe’s Rick Klein referred to these claims as “Republican smears” in a 2006 article while Kerry was still a potential 2008 candidate.

Of course when these supposedly discredited claims were actually made, the Boston Globe deemed them unworthy to even be reported to their readers.

Heh.
