And Kerry has the nerve to refer to conservative protesters as "goons"? What would he call these intimidation tactics of his own?
I think it has escaped a lot of people that the guys in the video are, for the more part, people who are in the photo on the Kerry site.
You are exactly right. Kerry wanted to tout them as part of his "band of brothers" when it suited his purpose, but when they protest with the truth... he moves to shut them down. Doesn't that say it all? I also think it is significant that the opening of the advertisement begins with Edwards saying "if you want to know about John Kerry, ask the men who served with him" (or something to that effect). They tell you to "go ask" these men (whose photo, as you note, Kerry has used) and then when the men offer the truth... well, see what happens.

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!
