CNN is reporting Friday afternoon that the Kerry campaign will file a complaint with the FEC.Wolf Blitzer reported that the campaign will allege that the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth are illegally coordinating their efforts with the Bush-Cheney campaign.
The complaint reportedly demands that the Swiftvets immediately suspend broadcasts of commericals attacking John Kerry's Vietnam War record and return any moneys raised in conjunction with the ad campaign.
The complaint is an extension of Sen. Kerry's charge on Thursday that the Swiftvets are a "front group" for the Bush Cheney campaign, alleging that the group has broken campaign laws by coordinating their efforts with the White House.
John O'Neill, author of the book "Unfit for Command," which details the charges described in the anti-Kerry commercials, said Friday that he had no connection with the White House, adding that his group wouldn't suspend the ads even if the White House asked them too.
"This isn't his fight," O'Neill told radio host Sean Hannity. "This is between the veterans who served in Vietnam and John Kerry."
I'm really not too worried about Bush being able to handle anything this nimrod puts forth. Of course his henchmen are of plenty and I'm sure they will certainly put forth some pretty dirty stuff very soon...
the hugh thing is some kind of Freeper joke for huge. Don't really know what it means.
Thanks on my tagline.
I love it that they used Kerry's voice ... and that affected Boston/JFK accent. Wonder how many women he raped?
Fox News just reported how folks like moveon.org and several other dem 527s have folks with direct ties to the Kerry campaing and the DNC. It was reported by Major Garret on Brit's show. Seems that it is current.
The DNC is trying to say that, because the Swifties used a consultant group that worked with Republicans a few years ago...that their is a direct link. HMMMM, So that means that since Bank of America, Dell, IBM, Radio Shack (Tandy, and Washington Mutual used the same consultant company for some work...that they are working together. And we know that's not happening.
I know of direct competitors who used a large consultant firm.
Yes, it truly is. Kerry's political machine, with millions in their coffers, stopped cold by Americans armed with little money and the TRUTH.
But they have lost their hold on the media...there are too many alternatives...and they can't deal with it thus they must implode.
That same "Bush supporter" also gave money to Dems.
Including over a thousand bucks to Sheila Jackson Lee.
This should prove that GW needs another term and we need to NUC the Rats in the Senate regardless of the Senate majority.
I will pass it on. Thanks.
Please keep that name off this thread. Please!!!!
And all this because John Kerry chose to profit politically from the blood of his compatriots. "John Kerry, reporting for duty." What a crock.
Serves the SOB right. None of this would have happened if he hadn't made it a campaign issue, right from the start.
It's so much fun watching this trainwreck in progress.
Thanks to Kerry this story has more legs now than the Radio City Rockettes.
Exactly.
This is not an ambulance chasing matter.
Kerry and Edwards are outgunned if they try and match talents with the Swifty Lawyers.
All of this shows how little the DU people know about the situation. They do not even realize that the Swifties who are lawyers have far more legal talent than Botox and Breck girl.
This is the Swift Vets "Last Mission" to save the their Units good name.
These Men are laying it on the line, 254 signed affidavits when they could have walked away and bounce their grand kids on their knees.
Man these guys have Brass Cohone's, Big ones...
Come to think of it, Maybe O'Niell has been in "training" for the last 30 something years and Kerry has asked for a fight he can't win. They will not back down, it is all about doing the right thing especially as these Vets get older, you can see they want to set this right.
LOL
I've said it before, but I'll happily repeat it again - Kerry's career dissipation light is flashing furiously...
Here's hoping the latest Swift Boat Veteran's ad pulls the plug on this sham of a campaign!!
May the truth prevail!
