They were an Independent Republican organization created in 2004 and attacked a political candidate for President (John Kerry) with their testimony. They have since rebranded themselves as Swift Vets and POWs for Truth and presently support John McCain for President.
The men behind the organization are well-known heroes and veterans: Sam Fox, Arthur J. Finkelstein, John E. O'Neill, and Jerome R. Corsi. O'Neill and Corsi teamed to write an entire book of what turned out to be true advertising about Kery called Unfit for Command. Corsi also wrote the book Obama Nation despite having no personal or professional knowledge about Barack Obama.
Swift Vets is organized as a 527 committee. == == The Swift Boat Vets were a group of veterans who served with, and under, John Kerry during the Viet Nam War. Together, they put out an ad during the 2004 elections saying that based upon their personal knowledge of Kerry's actions during the war, they had no confidence in Kerry's ability to lead the nation as President. Whether one agrees with the ad or not, the ad proved very effective in undermining Kerry's claims that his honorable military service qualified him to hold the office of President.

527 groups are tax-exempt organizations in the U.S. that engage in political activities, primarily to influence elections. Examples include the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, which opposed John Kerry in the 2004 presidential election, and Priorities USA Action, which supported Barack Obama in 2012. These groups can raise unlimited funds but are required to disclose their donors and expenditures to the IRS.

Yes, even if they are false. In the 2004 election, a new type of negative campaign ad called swiftboating (based on the Republican front organization that bought and paid for the ads Swift Boat Veterans for Truth) was used against John Kerry. Kerry went from having a lead in the summer polls to even in the polls and eventually lost the election. That happened despite the ads being false.
