Yeah and who wanted to bring it on? The fellow who's accusing Bush of questioning his manliness.

[OpusatFR]

My sides hurt from laughing!

Kerry ought to do standup.

Oh stop, you're killing me...

[berkley]

Michael Moore, Al Gore, Whoopi Goldberg, Howard Dean, Wesley Clark.....doing Kerry's dirty work???????

Bush will bring it on when Kerry signs the SF-180.

[Corin Stormhands]

Fighting back, Kerry said if Bush wants to "have a debate about our service in Vietnam, here is my answer: 'Bring it on.'"

HERE IT IS SENATOR KERRY...

'FESS UP OR SHUT UP!!!

Well, the Navy would only know what John Kerry wrote into his Situation Reports... They probably didn't cross check those sitreps against the sitreps of other officers in the squadron. I mean, who would lie on a sitrep?

Well, possibly Kerry.

Is it possible for the officers of the other boats to release their sitreps for the same actions?

I am sick of the double standard by the media, they will report that Bush is letting us do his dirty work. Yet they won't report on Moveon, ACT or many others, heck Kerry hired people from Moveon for his campaign. When he went dark after his convention those groups were happy to say we are picking up the slack. Yet Kerry is asked to denounce those groups like Bush is for the Swiftboats Vets, yet Kerry said he denounced the recent new attack ad from Moveon, yet most of the ad was from an old ad from Moveon that Kerry or any other dem didn't denounce.

"Thirty years ago, this was the plain truth. It still is. And I still carry the shrapnel in my leg from a wound in Vietnam."

I'll believe it when I see the xrays

Oh and Sen Kerry ... BUSH DIDN'T RUN THIS AD ... YOUR FELLOW VETS DID

So scream and yell .. even stomp your feet .. the fact remains .. YOU ARE AVOIDING THESE VETS

How about YOU DEBATE THESE VETS WHO ARE MAKING THE CLAIMS

How about YOU RELEASE ALL YOUR RECORDS

[jackbill]

Mr. Fournier neglected to mention that three of the four living Swift Boat skippers in that incident claim that they were not under enemy fire. Kerry is the only one to claim that there was.

From a previous post of mine:

Bush not only has nothing to do with the ads, he was trying to shut all 527s down...

The White House yesterday distanced itself from a political ad that questions John Kerry's Vietnam service and called on the Democratic presidential nominee to join President Bush in demanding an "immediate cessation" of all advertisements by outside groups. "We have not and will not question Senator Kerry's service in Vietnam," White House spokesman Scott McClellan told reporters aboard Air Force One. "The president is calling for an immediate cessation to all the unregulated soft money activity."

Washington Times

June 23, 2004 - In a major shift in fundraising strategy, President Bush’s finance team has begun asking wealthy Republicans to cut checks as large as $1 million to GOP state parties in key election battlegrounds rather than steering their funds to independent groups created in recent months to support Republican candidates this fall.

Roll Call

They also filed a complaint...which resulted in this opinion...

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The Federal Election Commission Thursday rejected a proposal to rein in the unlimited fundraising and spending power of independent political groups attempting to influence the outcome of this year's presidential race. Bush-Cheney campaign chairman Marc Racicot and Republican National Committee Chairman Ed Gillespie called the FEC decision "irresponsible" in a joint statement. CNN

Therefore, John Kerry's argument doesn't wash...and to put the icing on the cake...

Kerry hires online chief from MoveOn (collusion with 527 org alert)

[Mo1]

Thurlow's records, obtained by the Post under the Freedom of Information Act

I still want to know how the Post could get these records .. but they can't seem to get Kerry's records

[Shermy]

"And I still carry the shrapnel in my leg from a wound in Vietnam."

this is a weird one. It could be true (a grain of rice?) but Kerry never claimed this throughout his years. You think he would.

The first time this popped up is when he had the bogus "release" of his medical documents. It wasn't a release, but he hired a doctor to comment on them. That doctor, for the first time, mentioned the "shrapnel."

Keep demanding the release of records.

[TheDon]

LOL! The Demorats are very good at projection.

[Shermy]

"they will report that Bush is letting us do his dirty work."

the fix is in.

[Mo1]

Bush and the White House have refused to condemn the ads, despite calls to do so -

AND .. President Bush has already commented on ALL the 527 ads

Nice Try Kerry ... Maybe you should read the papers sometime

[NotchJohnson]

Isn't this all possible because of the democrats Feingold and McCain? Yeah, McCain bought into this because he is a jaded old man who couldn't beat a newcomer in a primary.

[Prost1]

"SitzPinkler" For President

[TASMANIANRED]

Is this schrapnel in the leg really rice in his butt.
