"Swift Boat Veterans" ads are excellent
....for us and Kerry, that is.

It's going to be beautiful watching these ads BACKFIRE on the scumbag filth appearing in them and sponsoring them, and the sewage will splash into the faces of the entire Repuke party. Their AWOL hero won't know what the Cheney hit him.

1. Funny. None of his crew thinks the same...
or James Rassmann, the Green Beret whose life Kerry saved.

3. His crew will be out in full force defending him against these pukes
What a stupid campaign AWOL and his thugs are running.

Nothing but flailing, flop sweat desperation at this point.

2. it's upsetting to watch the ads, but let them reveal themselves for
all the nation to see. Get all these cockroaches out in the light of day, on the record. Who are they, what is their history, who are they connected to?

4. They will accomplish one thing. Linking AWOL to NIXON
What can you say about the dumbasses, except that Kerry is a lucky candidate and soon to be president.

5. They're very vauge and don't really say anything
It's just a bunch of bitter men bitching about the fact that Kerry protested the war.

The only one who says anything is Van O'Dell who says Kerry lied to get his bronze star. He got the bronze star by saving Jim Rasmusen's life. Everyone on his boat saw it. So I find this very curious.

I've been googling up Van O'Dell and have found nothing about him or about his specific claims. His claims aren't even posted at the swiftvets.com site. I smell something very, very fishy going on here....

I think it will blow up in their faces. Letterman is already making fun of the video tonight.

9. I noticed that, too.
All they really say is some variation on, "Kerry lied about his wartime experiences."

OK, so if Kerry lied, what's the truth? What did he really do in Vietnam? What really happened over thete? Think any of those old farts will spill the beans? I'm guessing not because THERE ARE NO FUCKING BEANS TO SPILL!!! :grr::nuke:

12. The scumbags will just "force" Kerry's buddies to come forth. Shame eh?
The military aspect of the DNC caused Kerry's numbers to surge in areas he needed. The ad will backfire for two reasons, because they're filth and because they will give Kerry and his surrogates another opportunity to talk about his heroism.

10. Rumguy, I have to say
How you can possibly manage your upright stand up defense of what's reasonable and honest on that other site is beyond me, particularly about this issue. You must have nerves of steel and skin of leather!

Best Regards!

19. Thank you so much, rumguy!
I split a gut just reading the thread... I'm sure I would have embarrassed myself if I had actually watched it live!

The Tom Ridge "Tropicana" alert was especially hilarious!!!

23. Why the hell did I watch Leno?
Chinboy did some weak-ass skit making fun of Kerry.

No wonder I usually don't watch him.

22. I find it truly BIZARRE.
Somehow, in spite of *dauphin's dubious discharge of his military duties, his record of SCREWING Vets and his inability to produce EVEN ONE PERSON who can truthfully attest to serving with him, his minions produce this SMEAR CAMPAIGN spearheaded by questionable characters whose contact and veracity is easily debunked and no one has yet slapped the whole kit and kaboodle of them into nearest active volcano... :freak:

6. It is hard to believe that such vile dreck
is given consideration. Why not give equal time to the kkk or the american nazi party too?

8. This is what the party gets for trying to valorize Vietnam
You know, I can't get worked up about this. Why? The slaughter of three million Vietnamese should never have been made the centerpiece of the election or a badge of accomplishment for the candidate.

If the "reporting for duty" bullshit backfires, those with historical and moral amnesia who are eager to turn Kerry's Vietnam service into a resumé notch will only have themselves to blame.

16. I didn't take the reporting for duty to have to do with Vietnam
I took it that as president, you are commander in chief. Kerry has those qualifications. Bush didn't and clinton didn't.

11. found this on snopes...might be a dupe...but it fits...
How well all of these men knew John Kerry is questionable, and discrepancies between how some of them described Kerry thirty-five years ago and how they describe him today suggest that their opinions are largely based upon political differences rather than objective assessments of Kerry's military record. For example, Rear Admiral Roy Hoffman is quoted above, yet the Los Angeles Times reported:

Hoffman and Kerry had few direct dealings in Vietnam. A Los Angeles Times examination of Navy archives found that Hoffman praised Kerry's performance in cabled messages after several river skirmishes.

If we go by the Republicons rules...ol Hoffman would be considered a "flip-flopper"...it's clear their agenda is nothing short of political...

Get out there and voice out about this bullshit...
