Does anyone have a link to the Swift Boat/Bush Connection image?

Something that was published with ties to several of the vets with the republican party? Thanks in advance.

How the group came into existence is a story of how veterans with longstanding
anger about Mr. Kerry's antiwar statements in the early 1970's allied themselves
with Texas Republicans.

"A series of interviews and a review of documents show a web of connections
to the Bush family, high-profile Texas political figures and President Bush's
chief political aide, Karl Rove," the Times reported."Several of those now
declaring Mr. Kerry 'unfit' had lavished praise on him, some as recently
as last year.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 20 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Public records reveal that two of the
people in the new "Swift Boat Veterans for Bush" television ad are Republican activists
. . . . This is just more proof that Bush's Republican allies are the ones behind this
disgraceful smear of John Kerry (news -web sites)'s military record. It's pretty clear what's
going on here. It's no wonder the Bush campaign refuses to condemn this smear.

History of SBVT:

Website registered April 14, 2004. The following is a good historical
overview of their history with hot links. Great site!:

The entire overview of SBVT from same site:

On Hannity and Colmes, 23 Aug. Paul Galanti, a former Viet Nam POW
and author of upcoming anti-Kerry book, said that he was at a meeting "last
month" where he "heard" about Kerry from "Kerry's fellow officers."
Were they flying vets in (Swift boat vets, first, then POWs) and letting
O'Neill pump them full of his twisted obsessions, including the story of
"Kerry's master plan" (i.e., to launch himself into politics and the public
eye thru service in Vietnam and then public renunciations of that service)?
If we inquire into their methodologies of recruitment and forms of
internal propaganda and pressure, we might find out quite a bit that would
be damaging. (Just to show the coordination of a few men roping in and
trying to brainwash others would be damaging because it would focus
on the basic contrivance and manipulation practiced by their organization.

DU's own Junkdrawer has noted how the initial post of a FreeRepublic
thread might be terribly useful as background (dates, boats, names of crews, actions,
metals &c.):
