Swift Boat Veterans controversy lingers on

Even with one day left until election day, the Swift Boat Veterans controversy is still refusing to die. The American Federation of Government Employees is calling for an investigation into why retired Air Force Col. Ken Cordier, a man linked to the swift boat vets, was allowed to make disparaging remarks towards democrats while giving a speech on POW issues at Waco Veterans Federal Affairs Regional Office. According to witnesses, Cordier “started referring to scumbags who threw their medals and said he hated the Democratic Party since LBJ stopped bombing Vietnam.” In addition, the AFGE, who has endorsed Senator John Kerry as President, has also come under fire. Veteran’s Affairs has filed a complaint saying the union has done political activities on at least two VA campuses.
