Media Matters has a nice roundup of Terry (racist crook) Nelson. Not much that wasn’t mentioned here in the earlier post, but they do have this nice tidbit about Nelson and the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth:

Nelson’s consulting firm, Crosslink Strategy Group, counts Chris LaCivita among its employees. While working for a separate Republican strategy firm in 2004, LaCivita was a paid consultant and media adviser to the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, who launched a smear campaign against Democratic presidential nominee Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) based on lies, factual distortions, and baseless attacks on Kerry’s Vietnam War record and personal life.

At the time, McCain called the Swift Boat Veterans’ campaign “dishonest and dishonorable.”

Terry Nelson could be a huge headache for the McCain campaign down the road. His resume literally reads like a list of recent GOP dirty tricks and sleazy ideas. By hiring Nelson, McCain clearly states he cares more about winning than his integrity.

In McCain’s latest email fundraising appeal, Campaign Manager Terry (racist crook) Nelson offers a John McCain lapel pin for only a $100 contribution. Gee whiz that’s swell!

John McCain remains steadfast in his commitment to a brand of leadership that promotes principle over politics, and now he needs a commitment from you. With your contribution this year of just $100 or more to support John McCain’s Presidential Exploratory Committee, you will be rushed an official John McCain Presidential Exploratory Committee lapel pin to identify yourself as a key McCain supporter.

The challenges facing our nation today demand solutions, and solutions require leadership. Show your friends, family and neighbors that John McCain is the leader we need in 2008.

Sure is pretty. Amazing what a few dollars can buy these days…
