The Swift boat attack on Kerry was Personal

[Bandit]

It does not matter that he was running for political office. When someone Slanders your name and Libels you, you are allowed by law to fight back. The money to do so does not have to come from political campaign funds. In fact it should not. It was a personal attack and Kerry should have used personal funds, which he has plenty, to counter these personal attacks. They were not attacks on the Democratic Party they were attacks on Kerry himself and he, as any American, has the right to defend himself. The excuse he did not have enough campaign money to launch a counter attack just doesn't hold water.

1. Imo, he should have used his personal funds
