When did the Swift Boat Liars for Bush finally "jump the shark?"
Was it when they said Kerry didn't bleed enough to earn his Purple Hearts?

Was it when Malkin insisted his wounds were "self inflicted?"

Was it when they said he had a "master plan" to make himself into a war hero so he could run for President 30 years later?

Was it when they insisted Kerry won a medal after shooting a teenager in a loincloth in the back?

Was it when they claimed Rassmann was lying when he said he was getting shot at the day Kerry saved his life?

Was it when O'Neill said swift boats never went to Cambodia even though he had been there himself, and said so to Nixon?

Was it when they claimed Kerry wrote all the after action reports and medal citations himself?

Was it when they insisted there was no connection to the Bush campaign, despite being funded by Bush's supporters, promoted by Bush campaigns in several states, and helped by at least two Bush campaign employees?

I don't know, but the latest BS about Kerry's dog is just absurd.

3. Bob Dole's statements mark the moment of implosion
The lies and contradictions were already piling up thick and fast, but his whoring sneering condescending bullshit was the moment when (at least IMHO) America's mute buttons began to get a serious workout.

5. Bob
"Limpdick" Dole really self-inflicted a wound to himself there.

8. I see two cusps
When they released chapter three of the book which describes the "real story" of a wound. If you read the regulations describing the Purple Heart award, you realize they described a textbook case of when awarding a Purple Heart is merited.

Either that or when they presented "Exhibit 17" - that some of Kerry's records contain the letters "KJW" which proves John Forbes Kerry wrote them.

11. Their first ad was over the top.
The second ad tells the world why they're motivated to lie about Kerry.
