Nets Condemn Anti-Kerry Ad by Vets and Focus on Bush's 7 Minutes
After abdicating their journalistic responsibility to report on how a significant number of officer colleagues of John Kerry's in Vietnam condemned his behavior during his four months in-country, or in the case of CBS, smearing them while running glowing profiles of the vets who are backing Kerry, CBS, CNN and MSNBC on Thursday night decried a new anti-Kerry TV ad produced by Swift Boat Veterans for Truth. CBS anchor John Roberts stressed criticism of it over its content: "A harsh new television ad that attacks John Kerry is being denounced as quote, 'dishonest and dishonorable' by a Bush supporter, Republican Senator John McCain." (Just last week on the CBS Evening News, Dan Rather trumpeted "John Kerry's band of brothers from Vietnam on one last mission.")
You mean the fact that Kerry shot some kid fleeing in the back means nothing....
time to freep the nets big time. We can't let them get away with this whitewash.
Bush's 7 minutes compared to Kerry's admitted 40 minutes. Bush beats him again.
You mean the fact that Kerry shot some kid fleeing in the back means nothing....
It wasn't like he was a registered voter.......
Does anyone still have a media contact list? This Swift Vet and 7-minute thing really has me riled up (more than usual) and there is nothin better to ease the blood pressure than to mail a few nasty e-mails.
John McCain, thank you for speaking out on only one side of the issue and giving the above ammunition to the likes of Dan rather and his ilk. What the heck is the matter with you? Have you talked to these guys and made an independent assessment of whether or not they are telling the truth??? There have been negative ads galore coming out of the left but you are stone-cold silent on that. Those ads are blatently false. Why have you chosen to wade in on only one side of this issue .. the wrong side?
McCain is simply hedging his bets - he backs Republicans and Bush unless Hanoi John French Kerry wins in which case he believes he's cemented Secretary of Defense.
Same ole, same ole. The left spitting on Nam Vets again. But this time we can do a lot about it. Donate to the Swifties so they can be heard.
The very best "media contact" list that I've found is at: http://congress.nw.dc.us/politicsol/dbq/media/ It is very, very slow, but has many, many e-mail addresses for media reporters. Click on a state (major networks are in NY), then the particular media outlet.
Does anyone have that informaiton where Kerry said that he sat stunned and unable to think for 40 in the Capital building after the plane hit the WTC?
Hindsight is 20/20. I remember that on 9/11, my wife called me to tell me a plane had crashed into the WTC. I figured it was a small private plane, off course. After a space of time for the facts to get out, and given a second crash, the reality sank in. But, were I president and an aide whispered to me "a plane has crashed into the WTC", I may well have not drawn the conclusion that it was a terrorist attack.
hanoi john has 132 days in Vietnam vs 730 days of being an anti-war protester along with hanoi jane.
You are right. What was Bush supposed to do if he heard a plane hit the World Trade Center? Was he supposed to jump up and shout "holy shit!"
No, it does not. The "kid" was an irregular fighter who had just shot a RPG at our troops, and while possibly wounded was running with a weapon in his hands away. Thus he was an enemy fighter. Find and kill. That's the way the game is played.
