Imagine being a major donor to a group that smeared someone with a
bunch of lies. Then imagine having to face the victim of your smears
in order to get a cushy appointment.

Senator Barack Obama (D-IL), who was chairing the meeting, told Fox
that he found his answers to Kerry "somewhat unsatisfying" and said
that "The swift boat ads were of a different degree, even in the ugly
arena of politics. They were extraordinarily well publicized, that
there was essentially a fraud being perpetrated on the American
people. It had a profound impact on the election."
And Obama tied a nice bow around the whole afternoon by basically
calling Fox, who spent the entire time disavowing any knowledge of
the Swift Boaters' mission or methods, a liar.
"To say that you gave because it's ugly out there and somebody asked
you to give. I mean, it sounds to me like you were aware of it --
that this was not the best of political practices -- and you thought
it was OK to go ahead and contribute to that," said Obama. "By the
time you contributed, it was pretty widely noted -- it would have
been hard for you to miss the fact that there was something
particularly nasty and insidious about these ads. It had been well
publicized at this point."
