Daily Kos: "Behind the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth are Texas Republican
activist Merrie Spaeth, who is listed as the group's media contact; John E.
O'Neill, and retired Rear Adm. Roy Hoffman, a cigar-chomping former Vietnam
commander once described as 'the classic body-count guy' who 'wanted hooches
destroyed and people killed. In 2000, a shadowy group billed as 'Republicans
for Clean Air' falsely attacking the environmental record of Sen. John
McCain. While the identity of those funding the supposedly 'independent' ads
was carefully hidden, reporters soon learned that Republicans for Clean Air
was simply Sam Wyly and his brother, Charles,' both Bush 'Pioneers.' Bush's
'Texas allies are now deploying the same techniques and personnel they used
to attack McCain's integrity four years ago." Sleaze with a capital S.
