Bad move on sKerry's part.
There are nine year olds in East LA that have been shot at more times than Kerry ever was during his four months in Vietnam. That doesn't mean they're qualified to be President.
Ah ... I'm really not looking forward to disliking anyone more than hated Clinton.
>> Letson said that Carreon, a lower-ranked "hospitalman," was "present at the time and he, in fact, made the entry into Lt. Kerry's medical record."
When I was in the Navy, during the Vietnam War and afterward, Hospital Corpsmen routinely made entries into medical records.
My fellow pugetopolis resident,
hopefully the strenuous denials by the Kerry kooks will draw the MSM to investigate. One can only hope. Hugh Hewitt is all over this.
I will say this - the Swifites better have their t's crossed and their i's dotted. If this turns out to be overhyped or false to any degree, Bush will suffer bigtime. To be honest, the way Kerry was flailing around lately, I'd rather this didn't come out at this juncture. Kerry was going down anyway, this might actually backfire and help him.
EVEN IF THE VETS ARE TAKING SOME LIBERTY WITH THE TRUTH WHICH I DOUBT, ITS OK FOR MICHAEL MOORE TO SPEW REAL BS AND GET AWARDS AND BE THE DARLING OF THE LEFT, BUT THE TRUTH HURTS DOESN'T IT?
Kerry is hinting at lawsuits to ALL who air this ad. This is intimidation usually slimly lawyers - so typical of liberals - stifle opinions and views legally. Hate crimes are another example of stifling opinions, beliefs and demanding tolerance while working on acceptance.
Let's see who backs off.

I was impressed by the GM of a station in Wisconsin who called the Hannity show today to say they were running the ad and felt very confident Kerry made a mistake challenging the ad since it came with extensive affidavits and support documents.
Kerry's people will simply say that 'served with' means 'on his boat.'
Bad move on sKerry's part.
Democrats are censors at heart. Absolute proof of that is that they alway accuse Republicans of it. Their accusations ALWAYS reflect their own hearts.
sKerry may paint himself into an uncomfy corner here. If he tries to claim that Carreon, who was not a physician, was the one who treated him, that invalidates his first Purple Heart. Per military regulations, a Purple Heart requires that a non-lethal wound received from combat action with the enemy must be receive medical treatment, and such treatment is deemed to be that supplied by a physician, not a medic or hospital corpsman. Add sKerry's claim that a corpmen provided his medical treatment (removal of a superficial splinter, followed by application of antibacterial ointment and a bandaid) to the fact that there was no enemy action during his patrol (firing a grenade launcher onto rocks on shores does not qualify as enemy action) gives a total of two reasons for his first Purple Heart to be an invalid one.
swiftvets.com is down, checkoout swiftvets.org - wha???
Actually the letter (probably written by Kerry himself) got this right. SWIFT is an acronym. --I've forgotten for what exactly.
Now we know why sKerry wanted Edwards on the team. He is first in line to sue everyone.
Say goodnight, you disgusting, lying, dishonorable, traitorous POS who turned on his comrades and caused brave Americans to die and be tortured. You are EFFING finished EFFING Kerry!
Rats are now threatening to sue TV stations (because of the viet-vets against Kerry)? (Rats can dish it out but can't take it-lolol! Kerry GOONS can't handle it-lolol!)
We should threaten to sue all the stations that play the move-on dot.ogre adds!
AMEN! AMEN! AMEN!
THX.
I can't believe some of the defeatist WHINING I'm hearing about this ad! One minute, we're complaining about how we wish our side would do the same thing those slimes at MoveOn.org would do. We do that and now some are crying about this possibly backfiring?
Face it, people! The media, the DemocRATS and the other leftist shills are going to cry like babies no matter what! We can create the most positive, uplifting ad around and those sycophantic, anti-Bush Kool-aid GUZZLERS will find fault with that! There is no pleasing these RATS and it is high time our side grew a SPINE and start serving up the TRUTH, raw and in-their-face! They can't complain about being mean-spirited; that's all their whole campaign is based on!
Enough of this whining, for goodness sake! So what if some of our people don't like this ad! Do you? I'm tired of every time the media says "Boo!", we are running like scared chickens! They don't like us and they never will until we drink the same mindnumbing swill that they guzzle down!
DEAL WITH IT!
