Every Good Deed...
... evidently gets you canned...
Do you remember Steve Gardner, the only one of twelve men who served on a Swift Boat with John Kerry to speak out against him? Well, he's paying the price for his words. (hat tip to Powerline) The Chicago Sun-Times is reporting that he is now broke and unemployed.
It's sad, isn't it? This man voiced his opinion about a candidate for office, and he's been destroyed, just for telling the truth. John Kerry's campaign was so afraid of what the Swifties had to say that they sought not fight their accusations, but chose instead to tear down the men themselves. OK... that's not sad... that's pathetic.
What I truly admire is that he would do it all again, knowing the hell the DNC and the 527s put him and his family through. My prayers go out to him and his family.

There is also a follow-up which includes an e-mail address for Mr. Gardner, in case anyone has job leads or offers of assistance.Twenty-four hours later, Gardner's employer, Millennium Information Services, informed him via email that his posiiton with the company was being eliminated and that his services were no longer required. Gardner says that he has since seen the company advertising for his old position.
Gardner, the father of three, now is broke and unemployed. Nonetheless, he says he'd speak against Kerry all over again because "I couldn't ever see [Kerry] as commander in chief -- not after what I saw in Vietnam, not after the lies I heard him tell about what he says he did and what he says others did."
