Looks like Hollywierd is producing these TV Ads. Can they do that?
Three outta 1,000. That's really a representative sample.
Scratch the surface a little bit and you'll find Heinz/Soros/MoveOn money behind all this.
These Useful Idiots are doing nothing but defaming the sacrifice their children FREELY VOLUNTEERED to make.
Gee, I wonder what criteria were used to pick them..
I guess they are pretending to be doing this on their own, not at the behest of the DNP and Kerry...SHAME ON THEM for climbing on top of their dead family member to SUPPORT a traitor to America for POTUS.... it doesnt get much WORSE than this ..
Three out of more than a thousand, eh? They must have lots of money to pay for these ads---or, could it be that they are being funded by a leftest bunch? Oh, excuse me, that would never happen/sarcasm
This is going to backfire on these people. I understand their grief and the right to run an ad, but I truly believe that they are being used in a time of mourning.
This is the kind of thing that will cause 900 families to run an ad supporting the war and making these folks look petty and used by some self promoting wankers like Kerry.
Like the "ladies" from 9.11.
Looks and sounds just like the 9/11 widows. Only 5 of them are supporting Kerry. The Dems are having a hard time aren't they.
Geez, how much more exploitative can these vermin get?
Stupid, disgraceful, idiots.
The same criteria that all leftists use...the inhumane use of someone grieving the loss of someone they love for political purposes.
We all regret the loss any of our service personnel, but for the Democrats to use a death for politics is really low.
shameful....using their dead kin who died for us to promote their own agendas

Nadia McCaffrey is on all the Not-in-our-name type crap, like the lady who was yelling as Mrs. Bush the other day.
This ad running now is fine. It may provoke a nice
reply. Running it two days before the election would make a reply difficult.
Maybe they can discuss how their children's death will be wasted when a Kerry presidency cuts and runs from Iraq?
