Swift Boat Vets Angry About Anti-Kerry Letter

COLUMBUS – Swift boat veteran Bob Anderson of Columbus is ticked. It bothers him that Sen. John Kerry's swift boat history has become such a political hot potato. But he's even more irritated that his name was included - without his permission - on a letter used to discredit Kerry. "I'm pretty nonpolitical," the 56-year-old Anderson said Tuesday. So, when he found out last week that his name was one of about 300 signed on a letter questioning Kerry's service, he was "flabbergasted." "It's kind of like stealing my identity," said Anderson, who spent a year on a swift boat as an engine man and gunner.

Fellow swift boat sailor Bob Wedge, 60, of Mesquite, Nev., said his name, too, was on the list - and he's mad. "This is the fourth or fifth time someone has called me or e-mailed me in regard to signing this damn letter," he wrote in an e-mail to Anderson. "I don't agree with it and want no part of it and especially don't want my name on it."

Both men have tried to contact the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth to have their names removed from the list. Neither have had any success. "I can't seem to get a response when I reply to their e-mail," Wedge said. "They come back undeliverable."

Anderson said he first learned about the situation last week when he received an e-mail from a third party. The e-mail, from a Tom Pyle, said Pyle had contacted a dozen men whose names showed up on the list. Of the dozen, three said they had not given permission, Anderson said. "That leads me to believe that as many as 25 percent of the names are fictitious supporters of that group," he said.

John Dean to Kerry: SUE Bush-GOP-SBVT Frauds

I have no doubt Rove and his machine pushed this thing way beyond what it was orignally intended to be- which was a handful of Kerry haters.

I'm with mzmolly, there ought to be a class action lawsuit against the SBVT, open to any Veteran defamed by them, and hopefully done 'pro bono' by a generous and fair-minded law firm.
