Those were not the "crew of his command", meaning the enlisted sailors serving on one or both of the two PCFs he commanded. (the only officer was the OIC, officer in charge, of the boat). They were fellow OICs from the other boats and staff of the PCF division.
That's a might big IF. Mighty big indeed. Bigger than Kerry's ego, and approaching that of his wife.
HAHAHA ... Did ya just catch Susan Estrich on H&C
Can you say PANIC
Carol Channing!
Thanks for keeping this on top of breaking news!
Sincerely!
UPS and Goodrich are the only two that I patronize.
You can bet tht I will use FedEx and another brand of tires in the future.
No it's not a shakedown..this is a preview of the "election challenge" if Kerry doesn't "win". Reportedly, Kerry is going to apply the Goreon Strategy to take the election to the courts. Kerry has retained dozens if not hundreds of attorneys for election night.
What can individual lawyers do when they know of a violation of professional ethics? Do they likewise have to have standing to pursue it?
Club for Growth just posted a letter the Kerry Campaign is sending to stations threatening them if they run Club For Growth Ads.
"
And Kerry has the nerve to refer to conservative protesters as "goons"? "
That quip reminded me of Ross Perot's paranoid "crackup" moment when he said George Bush had spies taking pictures at his daughter's wedding.
He's close to a meltdown, everyone! Keep it up!
:-)
Where can I send money to help run more of these ads?
I'm not sure...may be a link on www.swiftvets.com
???
Good thinking. We need to push this through a solid grassroots effort.
It makes a big deal out of Dr. Letson not treating Kerry. But I thought that was the whole point. As I understand it, there is no medical officer report supporting award of the first Purple Heart, which supposedly is a prerequisite. All there is is the corpsman scribbled record of applying bacitracin and a bandaid.
Why would a medical officer waste his time writing up a wounded in action report on "applied bacitracin and a bandaid"?
They have an ethical obligation to report it to the bar.
I wonder how well it will work in the middle of a presidential campaign. I sure hope it backfires on them. It seems to me that if it wasn't a stupid move for a politician to sick lawyers on the media, politicians would do it all the time. I guess at worst this tactic is the equivalent of plugging a leak in a dike with your finger.
"Hmmm, the time is probably charged to the DNC. We need to encourage all station managers to call these lawyers and run up the bill."
Call the number yourself and see how long you can keep them on the line.
O'Reilly and Dick Morris are trashing the ad.
The are both idiots.
"I already downloaded the ad and burned it on a CD. A guy at work took it home to play on his computer tonight. Everyone is going to see this ad."
There's an idea. I bet the file is small enough to fit on one of those small CD-Rs (round or business card sized). Burn a bunch and hand them out like candy.
You got it! At least in part.....The Swift Boat Vets' were getting no where....They had a news conference, they released statements, they signed petitions.....No one paid them a bit of attention.
They release and distribute a pointed controversial ad and all of a sudden everyone want to know who they are, what's going on. ANything milder would have been glossed over too...........
It's possible that the DNC were so busy planning the party that they were a little blindsided by this.....promoting his Nam linked played right into the Swift Boater's hand......or there are some really dumb people at the DNC........
My hats go off to these men...They were and still are HEROES!
