Another Left Lie bites the dust – Nixon’s Colson wasn’t behind Swift Boaters

Democracy Project’s Bruce Kesler, whose byline appears with some regularity in the editorial commentary pages of The Washington Examiner, has an important post up today that shoots down another of the many Left Lies about the Vietnam War and the John Kerry presidential campaign in 2004.

The Left Lie is that Swift Boater John O’Neill was recruited by Charles Colson when he was in the Nixon White House to form an organization – Vietnam Veterans for a Just Peace – to counter Kerry’s Vietnam Veterans Against the War. The truth is O’Neill didn’t start VVJP, Bruce Kesler did.

Go here for the rest of the story. I wonder what Joe Klein, who is now a Time Magazine columnist, has to say about Colson’s denial?
