The White House has consistently denied any link between Bush's campaign and the group, Swift Boat Veterans for Truth. The administration has said it respected Kerry's wartime service, but refused categorically to repudiate the charges against him.
The Kerry campaign said it had "filed a legal complaint against Swift Boat Veterans for Truth (SBVT) before the Federal Election Commission (FEC) for violating the law with inaccurate ads that are illegally coordinated with the Bush-Cheney presidential campaign".
...The New York Times on Friday reported that there was a "web of connections" between the Swift Boat group and the "Bush family, high-profile Texas political figures and President Bush's chief political aide, Karl Rove".
...The White House denied again on Friday that it had any connection to the Swift Boat group and accused Kerry of "losing his cool."

Well, the ugliness in this campaign is well underway. I can't imagine where it might end.
And of course, it's really pushing the real issues out of the picture. Which is a bonus for the candidates, I suppose.
....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
