Obama pushes back on this year's Swift Boat smears

Good roundup from dday at Digby's place about the Obama campaign's plan to push back against this year's Swift Boat book. Unlike the Kerry campaign, Obama is hitting back immediately and demanding equal time:

Obama advisers say that whenever they hear that Corsi has been booked for an appearance on a network program, they are quickly contacting the program's producers to rebut the book's charges in phone conversations and giving them a whole run-down of past Corsi quotes that are controversial.

Obama aides also vow to insist that the producers allow them to have on a campaign surrogate to attack the charges, and are expecting to recruit more campaign surrogates, well plied with talking points, to push back against the book.

It really shouldn't be hard to discredit a conservaloon who claims that "President Bush is pursuing a globalist agenda to create a North American Union, effectively erasing our borders with both Mexico and Canada" (Human Events).
