In Rush's closing segment he said that he just received a story or document saying that lawyers for both the Kerry and Edwards teams were sending out letters to TV stations warning them about showing the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth advertisement!

Helps the media ignore the content of the ads and just focus coverage on spinning the ads as 'dirty tricks'... and spinning themselves out of an audience.

Truth is a defense. The Dim loses must also show actual malice because Kerry is a public figure to prevail.
Putting the TV stations on notice probably heightens the TV station's theoretical liability.
But it won't stop these Clymers from threatening the TV stations with a lawsuit. I bet a lot of these TV stations will decline to show the commercial because of the mere threat of litigation.
Leave it to the Rats to put a chilling effect on freedom of speech.

I wonder what they think of this?
Kerry 2004
I want to be the President,
Though all know I cant lead.
I really want the power though,
Its really what I need.
Ill lie and cheat and fabricate,
Ill flip and flop for sure.
The lefts so dumb theyll vote for me,
For stupid, theres no cure.
George Bush lied, Ill chant and sing,
Though I know its not true.
I love America Ill say,
Another lie for you.
Ill back the UNs global push,
No sovereignty for us.
The world rides free at our expense,
Well even buy the bus.
Let terror rain down on this land,
We really are to blame.
Oh yes, I fought in Viet Nam,
Four months, then home I came.
Three Purple Hearts for paper cuts,
Like some rite of passage.
You bet my names John Kerry,
And I approve this message.

Or this?
Changing with the Wind
Sung to Blowing in the Wind
How many times must he flip flop and flip,
Before he takes a firm stand?
How many lies must he tell about Nam,
Before we all call his hand?
How many times can he vote pro and con,
Before he is totally canned?
His answer my friend, is changing with the wind.
His answer is changing with the wind.
How many times will he say George Bush lied,
Before he tells us a fact?
How many times must I hear him drone on,
And still my ears stay intact?
How many deaths did he cause there in Nam,
With all his appeasements at home?
The answer and trend, John Kerry's not our friend,
The answer's John Kerry's not our friend.
How many terms could John Kerry serve,
Before America's gone?
How many days before he would cave in,
Afraid to protect our home?
How many weeks till he gave us away,
And let the UN take the throne?
The answer my friend, we'd twist in the wind,
The answer is we'd twist in the wind.

Or?
First Down Kerry
This is how I flew above, the jungles there in Nam.
I held the skid and fired my gun, bam bam bam bam bam.
We approached the landing zone, I was the first man down.
First Down Kerry, I was called, Air Cav had come to town.
I designed the Huey, the Cobra, the Jolly Green.
Still I went to fight VC, I was a lean machine.
Swift boats, choppers, bombers too, ah yes I did it all.
For four months I was busy, but still I took the call.
I served with honor, brave, and true, saved so many men.
Viet Nam is safer now, I would go back again.

Note to Kerry: Shooting yourself in the foot 30 years after you left the service won't earn you another purple heart.

Not even Kerry could be so stupid. Game, set and match if he threatens the media.
To: mcg1969
That is legal horsepuckey. They are trying to intimidate the radio stations.
If there was really a defamation or libel issue, the would get an injunction from a judge to cease and desist.
I bet the Swifties would welcome the lawsuit! How is Kerry's memory, and hidden records, more superior to 200 of his contemporiaries.
Typical of Kerry and Edwards to resort to lawsuits rather than actually refuting each charge with facts!

Seems like a panic move. They had to know that sending that letter would just draw more attention to the issue.
Logical people would draw that conclusion but libs dont run on logic, they run on deluded emotions.

You know...I cannot for the life of me imagine any one of these vets lying. They have to know they would be crucified anyway for what they were doing and...if they were lying..well, that would be even worse so... what would they have to gain? Nothing!
I don't think you could get that many people on board for a story that was not true. As Rush said...the opposition protests too much. We'll see how it all plays out.

Gosh you would think from the furor that this ad was as big as something humongous like....um....like, a 30 year old drunk driving charge, or an AWOL from National Guard service charge or a TVB ad with a chain dragging in the road behind a beat-up pick-up truck.
