"Hey, hey, ho, ho, your stinkin' ad has got to go."

[Cincinatus' Wife]

NASSAU BAY, Texas - Nearly 40 protesters gathered Saturday at the suburban Houston home of the chief financial backer of the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth's television ad criticizing Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry's military record.

But the elusive Bob J. Perry didn't appear to be at his Nassau Bay home and didn't answer three doorbell rings by several veterans seeking to hand-deliver a letter asking him to stop supporting the swift boat veterans group.

"We deeply resent what he's doing to the veterans," said Richard Zaner, a 70-year-old veteran of the Korean War who lives in the same suburb as Perry, founder of Texas homebuilding giant Perry Homes and the top GOP contributor in the state.

The letter, written by James Rine, 57, a retired U.S. Army captain who served in the Vietnam era, said, "I feel that honest political debate is our patriotic duty. I also feel interference with that debate by the injection of lies is nothing sort of sedition." Zaner and several other veterans also signed the letter, which they left at the door.

When a next-door neighbor who didn't identify himself gruffly ordered the men to "Get off the property," they complied and joined the pro-Kerry protesters, whose chants included, "Hey, hey, ho, ho, your stinkin' ad has got to go."

A Nassau Bay policeman parked nearby didn't interfere with the peaceful action.

Bill Miller, Perry's spokesman, said this week that Perry provided at least $100,000 to help found the group at the request of his friend John O'Neill, a Houston attorney who co-wrote "Unfit for Command," a new book which questions Kerry's military service. Miller also said Perry, who doesn't grant interviews, was in Mexico this week.

The ads, which ran in three key swing states earlier this month, challenged Kerry's wartime service in Vietnam for which he received five medals. The ads said Kerry didn't deserve his Purple Hearts, lied to get his Bronze Star and Silver Star and unfairly labeled all veterans in testimony about atrocities in Vietnam to Congress in 1971.

The Kerry campaign says the veterans group is a front for President Bush's re-election campaign. Kerry, a Navy swift boat skipper during the war, said criticism of his decorated service in Vietnam has "become so petty it's almost pathetic in a way." Bush denounced the ads Monday after they were no longer on the air.

In Texas, Perry has given more than $5.2 million to state candidates and committees since 2000, according to Texans for Public Justice, a nonpartisan group that tracks campaign contributions.

Protest staged at home of anti-Kerry ad backer

In the 2002 election cycle, Perry was the state's largest individual contributor to the Texas Republican Party ($905,000) and to the campaigns of Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst ($115,000) and Attorney General Greg Abbott, who got $387,500 from Perry and $150,000 from Perry's wife, Doylene.

Republican Gov. Rick Perry - who is no relation to the homebuilder - has received $225,000 from Perry since 2001.

But Bob Perry shuns publicity and doesn't hobnob with the social or political elite.

Sharon McNamara, a Kerry supporter who lives across the street from Perry, confirmed that he is reclusive. She also noted she had a brother who served in Vietnam and died after being exposed to Agent Orange, and she supported Kerry and the protesters.

"We never see them coming and going," she said. "Occasionally I'll see him ride a bike around the neighborhood. I hope his plan to fund this kind of smear campaign will backfire."

"Free speech for me, and not for thee."

[Cincinatus' Wife]

"WHICH SIDE ARE YOU ON?"

[cripplecreek]

Can't do that with Kerry's stable of billionaires, many of them don't even live in America.

[Welsh Rabbit]

Nearly 40 protesters gathered...

Oh wow! "Nearly 40!" How many is that? Twenty-five? The support for Lurch is overwhelming! /s

[mewzilla]

That's right, don't address the substance of the allegation. Shoot the messenger instead. I'll count that as another non-denial denial.

This message on vehicles really tweaks their liberal Kerry lovin' butts good!

I am sick and tired of the 'RATS 'smear the messenger and disrespect the veterans' campaign, and I am doin' SOMETHIN' ABOUT IT!

2 - Gets the swiftvets.com website visible to the public, so they can and find out more about 'Hanoi John' Kerry.

Yeah, I'll bet.

[isthisnickcool]

Maybe poeple will protect this Richard Zaner guy? Since it's a free country an all.

I wonder what ol' Richard would think if a bunch of us went to his house on Barbuda Lane and protested his protest?

Matbe people will call Richard and chat with him. His phone number is listed on whitepages.com.

"Hey, hey, ho, ho, your stinkin' ad has got to go."

Liberals are so pathetic and cartoonish, they can't even come up with a clever chant. They always have to resort to the lame, "Hey, hey, ho, ho..."

Article you won't see in the Miami newspapers:

---

Nearly 40 protesters gathered Saturday at the suburban home of the chief financial backer of the numerous 527s formed to take down President Bush, criticizing the President and his military record.

But the elusive George Soros didn't appear to be at his home and didn't answer three doorbell rings by several veterans seeking to hand-deliver a letter asking him to stop supporting the Democrats, communists and anarchists that are continuing to slam Vietname veterans as rapists and baby killers.

"We deeply resent what he's doing to the veterans," said Richard Zaner, a 70-year-old veteran of the Korean War who lives in the same suburb as Soros.

The letter, written by James Rine, 57, a retired U.S. Army captain who served in the Vietnam era, said, "I feel that honest political debate is our patriotic duty. I also feel interference with that debate by the injection of lies of MoveOn.Org and its koolaid drinkers is nothing sort of sedition." Zaner and several other veterans also signed the letter, which they left at the door.

When a next-door neighbor who didn't identify himself gruffly ordered the men to "Get off the property," they complied and joined the pro-Kerry protesters, whose chants included, "Hey, hey, ho, ho, your stinkin' ads have got to go."

A policeman parked nearby didn't interfere with the peaceful action.

Bill Miller, Soros' spokesman, said this week that Soros provided at least $15million to help found the groups at the request of his friend Bill Clinton, a former president who was "Unfit for Command".

The ads, which run in all 50 states, challenged President Bush's National Guard service. The ads said Bush didn't deserve his slot in the Guard nor did he really fly fighter jets.

The Bush campaign says the 527 groups are a front for Kerry's election bid. Kerry, an electrician officer and Navy swift boat skipper during the war, said criticism of his decorated service in Vietnam has "become so petty it's almost pathetic in a way." Bush denounced the ads Monday after they were no longer on the air.

Numerous Democrats have received millioins of dollars from Soros since 2001.

But Soros shuns publicity and doesn't hobnob with the social or political elite.

Sharon McNamara, a Bush supporter who lives across the street from Soros, confirmed that he is reclusive. She also noted she had a brother who served in Vietnam and died after being exposed to Agent Orange, and she supported the SwiftVets and the protesters.

"We never see them coming and going," she said. "Occasionally I'll see him ride a bike around the neighborhood. I hope his plan to fund this kind of smear campaign will backfire."

"Free speech for me, and not for thee."

Yup!

As well as in emerged in fantasy that John Kerry is honorable.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

Nice edit. So true.

[Big Guy and Rusty 99]

note how they mention the one vet as a 'Vietnam ERA Vetran" and not a Vietnam Vet. I think that says it all.

My real question is: Can you still shoot people for invading your property?

[Cincinatus' Wife]

[Chieftain]

That window sticker will turn your truck into a vehicle of HONOR!

[Cincinatus' Wife]

My real question is: Can you still shoot people for invading your property?

If you are in fear for your life.

[sinclair]

"I can only see this as a final stake in the heart of the democrat party and the end of the liberal media as well."

Sorry FRiend. The evil of which you speak has always been with us and always will be. The names change, the leaders change but the ideology that drives the beast remains. Your job is to forever fight against it and produce and raise another generation of anti-liberal warriors. Now do your duty!

[Boundless]

What Perry could do.

Appear at the door, and tell the mercenaries:

"Because y'all are here, I'm giving the Swifties another
ten thousand dollars. And for every hour that you remain
here, I'm giving another ten grand."

[Entropy Squared]

What kills me is how bozos like these two can think they are going to have any influence at all. What do they expect? That people are going to drive by them and think, "Hmmm...after reading those two signs I think I had better reevaluate my position against terrorism. I can see now that I was wrong, it's a good thing those two hippies were out there to enlighten me."

"We deeply resent what he's doing to the veterans," said Richard Zaner, a 70-year-old veteran of the Korean War who lives in the same suburb as Perry, founder of Texas homebuilding giant Perry Homes and the top GOP contributor in the state.

But we are 100% behind John Kerry when he calls veterans war criminals!

[o_zarkman44]

This mob is representitive of domestic terrorists. Thought control by intimidation. How many people who have a voice and opinion will now be afraid to publicly voice their opinion? If these groups of left wing anarchists are allowed to continue their intimidation tactics they will do more to repress free speech than any government action.
What if these groups show up at the polls to scare off would be conservative voters? This is a danger to everyone!
These people are nearly as bad as the terrorists who ambush the cars of politicians in Iraq and other free nations because they disagree and want to subvert Democratic process by scaring the population from speaking out.

If a group like that showed up at my door or in front of my home I would feel very threatened and insecure enough to stick a shotgun out the door and exercise my 2nd amendment right to protect my 1st amendment right. Or turn loose a German Sheperd "so he can relieve himself" hehe.

The cop out front can only act after the law has been broken. But the unwritten law is a mans home is his castle.
Don't come to my home if you dont want to rumble!

[Big Guy and Rusty 99]

What if you fear for your way of life?

[Unmarked Package]

This disgusting, anti-free speech rant by these crap weasels really hit close to home…literally. My home is in Nassau Bay, TX.

I thank Capt. Rine for his service to the country, but he's still a crap weasel if he believes exercising the right of free speech is seditious. What abhorrent hypocrites these people are to show up as a mob at a decent man’s home when they should be chanting outside the home of George Soros and ringing his doorbell.

I know the first name of every Officer in the Nassau Bay Police Dept. If I promise to behave myself, they might notify me if this happens again. I’d love to show up to chant a few choice words at these morons and wave a sign in their faces.

[soycd]

On my last bullet and last breath I will fight these anti-American scum to the victorious end. They have been trying for decades to destroy America and I WILL NOT allow them to destroy the only nation that is still as free as it can be.

We will strenghten America and not weaken it.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

It's intimidation, pure and simple.

What a great title....brilliant...just love it. ;o)

[Cincinatus' Wife]

You live in a beautiful neighborhood. I lived just down the road from you for several years.

There is a very vocal anti-Bush crowd over at JSC (a group, not the whole center). I wonder if they got this ball rolling.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

We will strenghten America and not weaken it.

That's why the Left is out in hysterical droves.

[WoodstockCat]

Oh wow! "Nearly 40!" How many is that? Twenty-five? The support for Lurch is overwhelming! AP..."Um..you've only got five guys here, that isn't much of a story". Unidentified Kerry Vet: "I know but we've got 30 or so more guys on the way, just stuck in traffic, they'll be here shortly believe me." AP." Ok. sounds like 40 here to me!"

[StoneFury]

Seeing him hold that Peace sign makes me want to run up and punch him in the face.

[Sister_T]

Protesters like this are so stupid! How many Arabs, Muslims and Middle Eastern people are protesting against terrorists who would kill these protesters?

When I see "Arabs, Muslims and Middle Eastern people" protesting against their people's attacks against anyone who doesn't look and think like them, THEN maybe I would oppose so-called "attacks" on them.

[Bigh4u2]

Don't forget.

Not every Vietnam vet was happy to defend his country.

Just ask John Kerry!

[Sister_T]

The letter, written by James Rine, 57, a retired U.S. Army captain who served in the Vietnam era, said, "I feel that honest political debate is our patriotic duty. I also feel interference with that debate by the injection of lies is nothing sort of sedition." Zaner and several other veterans also signed the letter, which they left at the door.

Ah! So, this man also wrote a letter to those leftists in Berkeley, CA who created MoveOn.org to tell them to stop injecting lies and ... oh. That's right. He didn't, did he? Oh, then, that makes him a HYPOCRITE, doesn't it???

[SaveTheChief]

"We deeply resent what he's doing to the veterans," said Richard Zaner, a 70-year-old veteran of the Korean War

Many Americans deeply resent what John Kerry did when he returned from his ridiculously short tour in Vietnam. Quite frankly, I am mystified that a man who spat in the face of American soldiers is serving in public office at all.

It's the same old Democrat trick. Rather than take responsibility for themselves and regain some respectability in their party, they accuse everyone but themselves. The Democrats' false accusations and blatant omissions of facts and historical evidence is absolutely staggering.

Washington Post 8/21/04

"Although Kerry campaign officials insist that they have published
Kerry's full military records on their Web site
(with the exception of medical records shown briefly to reporters earlier this year),
they have not permitted independent access to his original Navy records.
A Freedom of Information Act request by The Post for Kerry's records produced six pages of information.
A spokesman for the Navy Personnel Command, Mike McClellan,
said he was not authorized to release the full file,
which consists of at least a hundred pages. "

"I spent more time on John Kerry's boat than any other crewmember.

John Kerry hasn't been honest - he has been deceitful.

John Kerry claims that he spent Christmas, in 1968, in Cambodia.

And that is catagorically a lie. Not in December. Not in January.

We were never in Cambodia on a secret mission. Ever."

The anti war legacy is in full bloom today in NYC.

Thanks again to the anti war protesters of the 60's

The Kerry's and Fonda's of the world are in force today.

While I fully support the 1st amendment

I wonder why there is such an effort to shut Vietnam Vets who speak against Kerry.

Even certain FReepers want "the Vietnam issue" dropped
because they fear a backlash to President Bush.

Well I AM going to exercise MY 1st amendment right.

I'm NOT going to be silent.

The 58,000 plus Brothers and Sisters who are on the Wall
and the Brothers and Sisters who died at home of injuries and suicides
will no longer go unanswered.

And come Nov 2nd I for one, along with MANY,MANY others, will be able to say

"I honestly did what I could do to once again defend my country."

The likes of the Kerry's and Fonda's of the anti war "movement" changed the course of my own life.

They ARE NOT going to treat the troops of today,
like they did myself and countless others in the past!

THIS I VOW
