As their first piece of evidence of the ad's supposed lies, the DNC/Kerry lawyers claim that the veterans in the ad "purport to have served on Senator Kerry's SWIFT Boat in Vietnam" but, "in fact, not a single one of the men who pretend to have served with Senator Kerry was actually a crewmate of Senator Kerry's." The problem is that none of these men claimed to have served on Kerry's SWIFT Boat. They simply said they "served with John Kerry" -- and they did. The letter goes on to make several more misleading statements about the advertisement, in an attempt to protect Kerry's "war hero" record.
And that's not the only example.
DNC 'Lawyers Up' Against the Club for Growth
Watch the ad (link is on the right side of the page), read the letter, then read the comments. They *may* have a point on that one, but it sounds like a matter of interpretation, rather than an outright lie.
However, it's still characteristic that they called out the lawyers first thing.
