Kerry/Edwards lawyers warn TV stations over Swift Boat ad

Rush ^ | August 5, 2004 | unknown

[mcg1969]

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!

[OKSooner]

Well, I can't offer an explanation for that. I guess that just means the denizens of a particular internet forum will have to keep the true story moving.

[tanknetter]

Within the letter, Kerry's team states that the men within the ad are falsely implying that they served along side John Kerry despite the fact that none of the men served as crew members on either of John Kerry's patrol boats.

This is going to be THE Dem/Lib line of attack against the Swift vets. There heros, they served their country well, but they're lying about "serving" with John Kerry because they weren't on their boat.

The Dems knew this was coming, so they've chosen their language and their line of attack very carefully and probably have polling and focus-group data showing that it's effective with the general public. Their goal is to get the Swift vets to say "no" when pressed on whether they were on the same boat ask Kerry. Susan Estrich clearly demonstrated this last night during the H&C interview.

What the Swift vets need is an effective rebuttal and counter-attack that allows them to make their points while avoiding having to say "no" on the "you weren't on the SAME boat, were you" question. They need some concise, easy to understand term or phrase that clearly explicates that they DID serve in combat with Kerry. Personally, I like the term "Wingman". It describes the exact situation they were in to a "T", and anyone who has ever seen TopGun will understand it.

Here's an example of how it could have been used effectively lat night:

Swift vet: I served with John Kerry

Estrich: But you weren't on the same boat as him, were you?

Swift vet: I was his wingman

Estrich: But not on the same boat ...

Swift vet: I was his wingman, went into battle with him and saw him engage the enemy from a distance of only a few yards

Estrich: Just answer the question, you weren't on the same boat ...

Swift vet: I was his wingman. [indignantly] I went into combat with him and if it was good enough for the Navy and this country to send me into battle right next to John Kerry, it should be good enough for you.

Thanks for the info- I didn't keep the TV on long enough to see H & C.

"This is going to be THE Dem/Lib line of attack against the Swift vets. There heros, they served their country well, but they're lying about "serving" with John Kerry because they weren't on their boat."

I think you have hit the nail on the head here. If the other vets weren't on the same boat as Kerry, they didn't serve "with him" and therefore are lying. This is just more of "it depends upon what the word 'is' is".

[tanknetter]

That's why the Swift vets NEED to get ahead of this with their use of language and specific descriptive words like "Wingman".

"I have two web sites: hillaryforpresident-2008.com and to come www.hillaryforsenate2006.com, which are an assortment of sourced quotes and some little know facts. I keep finding new threads on the web of deceit she and hubby have been spinning."

Awesome...looks like you've got a bulls-eye on the HildaBeast!! I'm really hoping RudyG lays a first-class arse-whuppin' on her in '06, but I expect she'll bail out before that happens. In any event, I'm right there beside you between now and November '08...we gotta spread the word as to just how EVIL the HildaBeast really is!!

"Kerry has nothing to fear but TRUTH itself."

Zackley!! As El Rushbo put it, "The Left's Kerry campaign is built on this balsa wood foundation that Kerry's a military war hero!!" It's paramount that the Right set the record straight!!

Yep...everything the Left believes is built on LIES and DECEPTION!!

Leaving on His Jet Plane


John Denver

All his records sealed, he’s ready to go.
He’s flipped and flopped, as we well know.
But we must now wake up,
And say goodbye.
Now the light is shining,
It’s a new morn.
His bus is waiting,
He’s holding corn.



Already he’s so funny,
I could cry.


So wave bye, don’t look at me,
Turn around and really flee.
Told you that, you really need to go.



He’s leaving, on his jet plane.
We all hope, he won’t be back again.
Oh John, we wish you’d go.



There’s so many times, he’s lied, we found.
We all just wish, he would leave town.
The words he says, they don’t mean a thing.
Everything he says, a lie to you.
As he flips and flops a time or two.
When he leaves town, much sunshine it will bring.



So wave bye, don’t look at me,
Turn now and really flee.
Told him that, he really needs to go.



We all hope, he won’t be back again.
Oh John, we wish you’d go.

Now the time has passed we’re tired of you.
Please be gone we won’t miss you.
We’ll hold the door, you get on your way.
Think about the time will come.
You will see that you are dumb.



We’ll recall the day we got to say.



So wave bye, don’t look at me,
Turn now and really flee.
Told him that, he really needs to go.



He’s leaving, on his jet plane.
We all hope, he won’t be back again.
Oh John, we wish you’d go.

Look at that last photo of Edwards...he looks like a clueless MORON...whatta DOLT!!

I was at an event Wednesday night, and a bandanna-wearing, Harley-riding dude came up and told me the scariest thing about having Kerry as POTUS was that we were a heartbeat away from having Edwards as Commander-in-Chief!!

Edwards could keep the terrorists tied up with law suits for years. Then he'd get all their money.

CICERO A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murder is less to fear.

hahaha! That has got to be the best job of putting Parody Lyrics with pics I've ever seen (#735).

Way to go, CG!
