There's some whining going on, but I highly doubt there was ever any coordination between Michael Moore's film and anyone from the Democratic party. Moveon.org perhaps...
I think the reason they are pushing so hard on this is because this is the exact same thing done to John McCain in 2000. Bush would state publicly that he felt McCain's service was noble and honorable, while he refused to directly denounce the shameful ads. The language used to describe Kerry today is the exact same they used to describe McCain in 2000. The damage done to McCain was very real and completely discusting.
This is the problem. Bush can denounce 527's all day long but if Bush believes the Kerry's service was truely honorable, how can he stand by and let Kerry be smeared by ads that clearly have untruths and distrotions?
