Here is Taylor Marsh swiftboating John Kerry because he endorsed Obama.
Now she is invoking John Kerry to defend Bill Clinton (who has attacked Obama repeatedly):
There are several problems with Obama "calling out" Bill Clinton, as some have put it. First, Obama will be fighting on Bill's turf, because Obama's anti war credentials begin with talk and a good anti war speech in 2002, but that's pretty much where it stayed from then on. What Bill Clinton has been saying about Obama's Iraq war record, post that speech, also has the virtue of being true. Obama has to explain why he was against the war but funded it throughout his Senate term, plus stood up and pushed back against John Kerry's amendment for a timely withdrawal, which puts him standing beside Hillary. That Obama's votes are exactly the same as Clinton's on Iraq, except for her vote against Casey for Secretary of the Army, is the foundation for the "fairy tale," as Bill Clinton calls it, myth of Obama's anti Iraq war credentials being strong beyond talk after 2002.

It's Bill Clinton who needs to explain his distortions and support for Bush's war:
Bill, Jun. 2004:
"I have repeatedly defended President Bush against the left on Iraq, even though I think he should have waited until the U.N. inspections were over," Clinton said in a Time magazine interview that will hit newsstands Monday, a day before the publication of his book "My Life."
Clinton, who was interviewed Thursday, said he did not believe that Bush went to war in Iraq over oil or for imperialist reasons but out of a genuine belief that large quantities of weapons of mass destruction remained unaccounted for.

Bill, Nov. 2006:
Clinton calls Iraq 'civil war,' against withdrawal timetable
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Former President Bill Clinton told CNN Thursday he agrees with those who have labeled the situation in Iraq a "civil war," but -- differing from top congressional Democrats -- said he's against setting a definite timetable for withdrawal.
"We probably shouldn't set a definite timetable right now because we don't want to lose all the leverage we have to get others in the surrounding countries to work with us, and to get the Iraqi political forces to try to get more and more people to choose politics over violence," Clinton told Soledad O'Brien on "American Morning."
