If Kerry was forced to stop using people in his ads who didn't agree with him, he couldn't be in them himself.

John Kerry will never stop running ads. He is obsessed with his short tiny Vietnam record. O'Neill will have to literally bring him to court. Kerry and the Dems get away with everything.

The Swift boat guys want people to understand that the overwhelming majority of veterans who served with Kerry do *not* support him, contrary to what his campaign is trying to portray.

Linda: Kerry campaign says this is all just partisan politics. Shumadine says it's far-fetched to think the Navy assigned a bunch of conservative Republicans to swift boats...

Linda mentions Kerry's support for communist positions after meeting with Vietcong negotiator Madame Binh in Paris. Elder hits on false war crimes charges made by Kerry in 1971. Says to have one of their own buddies come home and say such things was an "atrocious misrepresentation."

Linda: Kerry claims that his fellow vets support him, but 12 of the 19 officers in the photograph his campaign have gone on the record opposing his candidacy. Swift vets want them to stop using their images.

Shumadine: We abandoned the cause and the people in Vietnam.

Linda: Kerry said 3,000 people might be affected after we pulled out... actual death toll was in the millions.

Any chance they could threaten to sue? Hasn't Kerry or his lawyer threatened to sue anybody that shows the cover of "New American Soldier"? Great patriot, that John F'n Kerry.

I haven't heard that the Swiftees have any plans to sue.

Photographer George Butler has evidently hassled some web sites that posted his photograph that graces the cover of Kerry's book The New Soldier. The Kerry campaign's involvement in this action is unproven but probable.
