"This was classic bait-and-switch.... These Republicans that are all upset about
Petraeus - this is one newspaper ad. These are the people that ran a television
ad in Georgia with Max Cleland, who lost half his body in Vietnam – in the same
ad, with Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein. That’s what the Republicans did.'
Clinton also brought up the 'Swift Boat' attack on John Kerry during the 2004
presidential campaign. 'These are the people that funded the Swift Boat Veterans
For Truth. And the President appointed one of the principal funders of the Swift
Boat ads to be an ambassador. But they’re really upset about Petraeus. But it
was ok to question John Kerry’s patriotism on the blatantly dishonest claims by
people that [sic] didn’t what they were talking about.'"
The Republicans do not have the strongest leg to stand on when it comes to these matters.
