By Madeleine Brand
Published February 22, 2005 at 11:00 PM CST

USA Next, a conservative consulting group that orchestrated the Swift Boat Veterans' ads against Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry, are taking on a new adversary. In new ads, the group attacks the AARP, one of the most vocal opponents of President Bush's Social Security plan. NPR's Madeleine Brand speaks with representatives from both groups.
