My company is on record for receiving checks from Quickbucks, so I must be involved in Hooper's idownload program, right?

No, but once you became aware of the download proggy and continued to promote the program and accept checks from it, then that does make you culpable.
Bush's refusal to condemn the ads outright ends up being tacit approval of the ads.
Since the swift boat ad at this point has been pretty much completely debunked, Bush can no longer credibly claim ignorance as to the ad, it's contents or who is behind it. Laura and George, in their Larry King interview, claimed to be ignorant of the ad even though the controversy surrounding the ad had pretty much dominated the domestic news scene for several weeks at that point. Laura claimed they had not seen the ad. I for one do not believe for a second that they had not seen the ad unless they had purposely switched channels anytime the ad showed up on their TV screen.
Slowly but surely the people in the ad are being exposed for what they are.
The most recent was Thurlow claiming that Kerry didn't deserve one of the medals because the citation for the medal says they were under fire and Thurlow says they were'nt. Well, it seems that Thurlow recieved the same medal for the same incident with the same citation claiming they were under fire. If the citation was wrong, why did'nt he correct it back 30 some d years ago. Further, it was Thurlow who had the duty as Senior person to write up the reports. His claiming that Kerry lied to get the medal would mean that Thurlow also lied (which Thurlow is not admitting to) Thurlow just claims that he didn't know his citation aid "under fire" and if he had known, he wouldn't have accepted the medal. But you don't see him giving it back now, do you ??
