Kerry Camp Will Ask Feds to Pull Swift Boat Ads!

CNN Crossfire ^ | 8/20/04 | Tucker Carlson

[gopwinsin04]

Tucker Carlson just said that CNN has been notified that the Kerry camp will seek to have the goverment pull the Swift Boat veterans for Truth ads.

The second the Kerry camp files an official document falsely accusing the Vets and BC04 of illegal collusion, the Vets ought to hit Kerry with a suit alleging libel and defamation.

This reminds me of when a group of lefties (can't remember exactly who) sued Fox News, asking that they lose their right to use the slogan "fair and balanced."

God bless you. My late father fought at Guadalcanal, on Pellelieu, at Inchon, and in Vietnam.

He often said that freedom isn't free. I thank you for your reminder.

THE WHITE HOUSE AFTER KERRY ELECTED

This will work to support the efforts of the Swifties, I doubt anything could help them more.

You've got that right ... I wrote a check to the Swifties earlier today ... and this makes it all the sweeter ... they will prevail.

Hillary's codeword to her political operatives earlier today....."blood in the water"

[NavySEAL F-16]

There's an article on Realclearpolitics.com.

Kerry's campaign said Moveon.org was first and Swiftvets came after he got the nomination. So that makes Moveon just fine with the Kerry campaign.

First he won't go to Florida, now this...

When MSNBC did their report they showed him walking in what looked like Florida to me.

It looked like an area ravaged by a hurricane. What was odd was he was grinning and nodding like any old campaign stroll. Didn't seem taken aback by the devastation surrounding him.

Johnny IMPLODES ... Day 1

Has a nice ring to it

'Rats never believed in the First Amendment. It was all a big ruse.

WHAT happens when those establishments(which the majority are liberal)decide not to print the books?

Plenty of smaller independent printers that would be happy to print it.

BTW -- note that this is happening on Friday afternoon, to try and bury it.

[ravingnutter]

Actually, it is probably not in our best interests to bring up the free speech issue, we were the first ones to file an FEC complaint over 527s. From my files...

The Republicans and GWB 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

HOWEVER...they are TOTAL hypocrites as they were dancing in the aisles over this decision and then...

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

[F.J. Mitchell]

Over doses of Botox can even make old friends unidentifiable. From the expressions on their faces, it is obvious that these are pictures of Kerry and Edwards, question is: which is which? Considering that Kerry is willing to spend a thousand dollars of Teresas first husband's money on a haircut, I'm guessing that Kerry is the one with hair.

[POA2]

FOLKES.........this is a STRATEGY to CHANGE THE SUBJECT!!! This gives the MSM the opportunity to report on the story as though KERRY is being attacked and now the group attacking is under investigation by the feds.

110% right!! - This is exactly what the media are doing - It boggles my mind how bias they are - Every week they outdo even what I think is possible of them -

DEM 527's have been running nothing but negative GWB ads for 6 months now - Hammering / lying daily - the media say nothing!! - A foreigner Soro's can spend over $25 million running anti-GWB ads and not a word is said -

It just drives me nuts!! -

[bigjoesaddle]

I hope we use this pic a lot for Kerry. Fount it on a strange pics page.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

And the pathetic joke of Kerry's plea to the Feds is that he's demanding HIS OWN WORDS be taken off the air.

A first, no doubt.

[sockmonkey]

I watched Crossfire for as long as I could stomach so I could see the new ad. I didn't hear Tucker say this, but I did donate to the swiftees today.
I have read the book, and it has more footnotes than I've seen in a long time.

[r9etb]

Here's a thought, what if its ruled that the swifties have to pull their ad? What happens then?

The internet and e-mail are very powerful. Just how powerful will be shown when these ads start making the rounds -- just like cool gun-photos or funny clips do today. They'll be everywhere in no time flat.

The curiousity will be insatiable, and the pixels will simply flow. And the e-mails will be called "the ad that John Kerry doesn't want you to see!!!!"

The D's have no idea......

[deport]

Collusion is the basis of the complaint.... as I said if it doesn't exist then Kerry has no standing or that's my understanding...

Here's some indications of dollars to the major 527s that has been gleamed from the IRS as 8/15/04
