DNC Lawyers Work To Muzzle Swift Boat Vets' Ad
Posted on 08/06/2004 7:55:30 AM PDT by PFMRightNow
HUMAN EVENTS has obtained a copy of a letter (see below) which lawyers for the Democratic National Committee and John Kerry have sent to television station managers attempting to suppress the blistering anti-Kerry TV spot created by the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth.
John Kerry just can't stand it when someone comes out with the truth about him.

Now we know why John Kerry brought John Edwards on Board..for frivilous law suits...

I'm sure Michael Moore and his ilk will stand up for the free speech rights of the Swift Boat Vets. We all know how intellectually honest they are. Imagine, using 527s to circumvent the campaign finance laws. What's that? Never mind.

Here is the whole story.
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.

I am making a donation to those swit boat Vets.
We do not live in Cuba or Russia. The DNC does not run this country or it's people. It is time for the truth of the DNC marxism to be revealed.
We can not falter while they are on the run, thats how the dems got in power in the first place right?

Unfortunately this is already working. Our local ABC affiliate announced this morning it would not be airring the vets ads because of the fax they received from the DNC. This station has no problems running the lies from the Media Fund and Moveon.org.
The station is WDTN channel 2 in Dayton OH.
The CBS affiliate is running a doom and gloom spin on the new unemployment figures.

Someone on Laura Ingraham's show offered this insight:
"Seeing as how John Kerry went to the Vietnam Memorial (the Wall)...great 'war hero' that he is...in light of past testimony about how Kerry's testimony encouraged the P.O.W.'s captors...
"How many of those names on the wall are there because of John Kerry?"
Valid question?

One of the SwiftVets, the C.O., a guy named Elliott, has already said he incorrectly signed an affidavit about Kerry's medals.
IOW, the SwiftVets have already started to compromise themselves.
This retraction will also give the Media all the excuse they need to simply ignore this ad.

I wrote a letter to WDTN and my wife called the station.

The Bush people should counter with a lawsuit against the Kerry Campaign.

These ads could hurt Bush, more than Kerry.
To: Wiser now
Giving the media a fig leaf for refusing to run the ads is exactly why the letters were sent. The DNC has no legal recourse against the stations and there is an obligation to run ads from a legitimate 527 organization. If they were to sue the Swift Boat Vets there would be a nasty discovery process.
To: Wiser now
Not to mention all the free publicity that they gave Michael Moore for his "shlockumentary." I'm in California so they won't run any ads here, sadly - it's already foregone that the state will go for Kerry anyway. Although, that recall of Davis should give the Dems some food for thought.
Did anyone see that harpy Susan Estrich going after O'Dell (I think that was his name) on Hannity last night? Called their ad "despicable" or something. This from the woman who, I believe said that Fake-enhiet 9/11 was an important movie.

This nut case, Susan Estrich, need to revisit her brain, so more control over her mouth could take effect. She knows nothing how Swift Boats patrol. They patrol in a group, not alone. Very rare they get separated.
