    "Those on the left are only guaranteeing the future of such slimy attacks"? I think the fact that the same Swift Boaters (ie Corsi and O'neill et al) are again running ads against the Democratic nominee guarantees they'll continue. Democratic inaction won't help.

    What would stop these attacks? Holding liars accountable. Neither the press nor the public are doing that. As it is, the slimesters' books regularly make the best sellers list and they get new clients every election cycle for their ads.
