Great idea I'm doing it now.
How about someone with a lot of "military strategy" savvy? This was an absolutely brilliant *military* campaign. The first ad was primarily a "feint," and this ad is the true incursion. While the enemies were trying to beat back the "feint" (he said/he said, brown book tactics, sliming the swiftvets, attacking their funders) and using up their ammunition, the new ad is a stealth attack when the enemy is otherwise occupied.
How are the enemies (rats, MSM media) going to fight back? It's not like this is "he said/he said," they can't attack Prisoners of War with impunity on their "divorce records", etc., and now that the new ad is being paid for by the "little people" (i.e., *us*) they can't even be condemned as the product of "rich" Republican donors with ties to G.H.W. Bush. Brilliant military tactics!
Everytime I do a Freep, some democrat asks "who is paying you ?" Once Clinton himself asked who was paying us. Clinton could not comprehend the concept of people doing anything out of a sense of personal honor and integrity. He and his acquaintences never would; why would anyone else?
It was outside Clinton's area of life experiences; it was outside his ability to understand.
Thanks to Kristinn and tgsltakoma for being at this freep with me.
He shows no remorse. He's proud of undercutting our troops who fought in Vietnam. He's unfit to command our military in wartime.

Thanks for your link!
McCain doesn't seem to be too tightly wrapped; this might trigger a lot of memories he thought he was over. But who knows?
This would be a GREAT separate, but equal and linked movement to complement the Swift Boat guys who were up close and personal with Lurch.
Both groups of American Heroes suffered due to John Kerry's self-aggrandizement and lack of patriotism. Time for them to go PUBLIC. These TV ads and the book are the way.
BUMP!
JOHN KERRY, "They (US NAM VETS) had personally raped, cut of ears, cut of heads,"...
..."randomly shot at civilians,"...
..."cut of limbs, blown up bodies,"...
..."razed villages in fashion reminiscent of Ghengis Khan, "...
..."crimes committed on day to day basis,"...
..."ravaged country side of South Vietnam,"...

Same here. I have not forgotten how those men were treated when they returned home. I couldn't figure it out. I was a kid back then, and I couldn't understand how our country treated the returning heroes with anything less than respect and admiration for their sacrifice. I haven't forgotten Vietnam, and I hope John Kerry pays dearly for his actions once he returned.
I believe there are still MIA/POW over there that he has abandoned, that we have allowed our country to abandon, and I am ashamed of that. I wish Kerry were ashamed, but instead, he's proud.
I wish John Kerry would feel in his heart and soul the torture that he heaped upon those men, when he turned his back on them.
I wonder where Juan Williams has been for the past few days. Did Brit perhaps ban him from the show until he's read "Unfit for Command"? :=)
He's a director of NAM-POW. From the site:
Our first NAM-POW President was Medal of Honor recipient Colonel George "Bud" Day, USAF (Ret). He has been joined by 540 active members, which include other distinguished Medal of Honor recipients: Vice Admiral James B. Stockdale, USN (Ret), Colonel Leo Thorsness, USAF (Ret), and MSGT Jon Cavaiani, USA (Ret). Four other POWs, Capt. Rocky Versace, USA, Capt. Lance Sijan, USAF , Army E-3 William D. Port and Col. Donald G. Cook, USMC received the Medal of Honor posthumously. See below for more about the Medal of Honor recipients. Our ranks are replete with honorable men who are continuing to serve their country with the same dedication and fervor that were displayed by their comrades confined in the infamous prisons of Southeast Asia-like retired Navy Rear Admiral and former Senator of Alabama, the Honorable Jeremiah Denton, Senator John McCain of Arizona and Congressman Sam Johnson of Texas. The Honorable Douglas Peterson, former Congressman from Florida, recently completed his assignment as the first Ambassador to Vietnam in 25 y ears. Others, such as Colonel Ben Purcell, USA (Ret) and Colonel Leo Thorsness, USAF (Ret) have served in State Legislatures.
Probably true. But I don't want to go there. There were probably thousands both democrat, republican, liberal and conservative who covered up with Kerry. They felt it was best for the country that the war be over and they sacrificed a few MIA's to do it. Some things are best left alone. I don't want to revisit the attrocities committed by the American Indians or the US soldiers in the 1800's either. I don't want to go back and talk about the Japanese attrocities in WWII. I don't want to talk about the US japanese internment camps (probaby supported by a good many conservatives and liberals too.)
If McCain refuses to comment on this ad, his silence will be deafening!
and a MD republican with my 500 dollars.
Altogether now "I AM SPARTACUS".
Rush is about to play the ad!
At the end where they say "Swift Boat Veterans for Truth is responsible for this advertising" they should add, "but John Kerry is responsible for requiring it be said."
