They should be concerned. His whole claim to fame is Vietnam service. He enhanced it and has been caught. He defamed brave men and it is karma time.

This Ad is 10 times more powerful than the first one.

It's more powerful because everyone knows what the POW's went through. It's one thing to go after guys that made it back from Nam in one piece, but POW's? I'd like to see Kerry or any one of his attack dogs take a swipe at these guys. I wonder what McCain's going to say?

This is devastating--absolutely devastating, and I'm sending the Swift Vets a check tonite for a couple hundred bucks....maybe more.

John Kerry = Traitor

Thank you for reminding us precisely what John Kerry is. It is beyond my comprehension how someone this loathsome can be this close to the presidency. John Kerry made choices when he returned from VietNam - he made decisions - he told lies - POWs were tortured because of his words. He was an officer in the USNR when he did this.

I am proud to have donated to the swiftvets. John Kerry does NOT want America to know the truth about him. Major Garret just reported on Fox that they can't show the new Ad because it's only on the internet. Here's news to John Kerry: YOU need to be denounced as an American.

For McCain:

But after he was released from the Hanoi Hilton in 1973, McCain publicly complained that testimony by Kerry and others before J. William Fulbright's Senate Foreign Relations Committee was "the most effective propaganda [my North Vietnamese captors] had to use against us."

"They used Senator Fulbright a great deal," McCain wrote in the May 14, 1973, issue of U.S. News & World Report. While he was languishing in a North Vietnamese prison cell, Kerry was telling the Fulbright committee that U.S. soldiers were committing war crimes in Vietnam as a matter of course.

Still, the media keeps focusing on 1 donor to the SwiftVets and ignore thousands of others.

Yeah, like this $25 contributor. I don't want my 15 minutes of fame, mind you, but I'd like to see a list with the number of contributors and average size of contribution.

McCain is Kerry's ally. I wonder if he will call his fellow POWs dishonorable and dishonest.

You know, it would be sweet revenge on McCain too if McCain gave the Swift Vets this idea by his moronic comments about their ad. "Kill two birds with one stone"

Now let's hear McCain (like Kerry as a Swift Vet) act like he was the only one to be a POW and have an opinion.

McCain should resign from the Senate for what he has said about the Swifties. He has no class. They got Newt and Trent for just being themselves...does McCain deserve anything less?

Like my cat playing with a mouse before he actually kills it. Looks really cruel, but rats deserve it.
