That is a complete lie. Kerry was reprimanded for "destroying the village" It is in in a PDF file after action report released today. His command wrote that he missed a great opportunity for PsyOps.

John McCain, its Dday. Whose side are you on? "You're either for us or against us." You can't continue this game.

Right you are.
Be a sad day if McCain trashes his "band of brothers", his fellow POW's.

Have a feeling it'll be a sad day.

Have you read the after action reports on Kerry's site? There are 2 versions, one that is typed neatly and the actual reports in PDF. The discrepancies are mind boggling. It also so shows that Kerry issued ALL casualty reports and every one of them use the exact same language.

Read them here

When Kerry came back from Nam and was recalled into the USNR, he was courtmartialed and eventually, convicted of a form of treason. To avoid serving hard time at Leavenworth, he was elected to the Senate. Kerry is in the Senate solely because a member of the legislative branch is immune to punishment by the executive branch.

Kerry had the bucks to buy a pardon from Willie, but the matter would have been public.

Where's this from?

"I am surprised that McCain allowed himself to be used like this... but then again, maybe I should not be so surprised."

ANY attention is good attention for the hard-up John McCain...

I expect at any time to see him down on all four in Macy's front windows with John Kerry "riding" him during a Chris Matthews interview.

I distinctly remember McCain's campaign manager bashing and trashing the Christian Coaltion in South Carolina.

Speaking of which, did you see Kerry's smear of the POWs who are featured in the latest ad?

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1196221/posts

PAUL GALANTI
JUDGEMENT: Called Conservative Christians "Sheep"
"They probably called their little followers. They vote on that one issue. They call them sheep. That's exactly what they are." -- Paul Galanti, McCain's Virginia campaign co-chairman, on the backlash by Virginia's conservative Christian voters after McCain's attacks Monday on the Rev. Jerry Falwell and Christian broadcaster Pat Robertson. AP, 2/29/00

This is one of the POWs they're now attacking for criticizing Kerry. How does that even make sense? The guy worked for McCain, not Bush, yet now he's criticizing Kerry. Doesn't that prove the SWVT's point?

I agree. Besides .. the ad is deceptive in that it presumes to know that the people doing the SwiftVet ad are the same people who attacked McCain .. according to Rush .. they're not .. and Rush told McCain he needed to check it out. I don't think Rush would have said that over the air if Rush didn't already know it's not the same people.

Somebody needs to point out in the RNC that one of the POWs the Kerry campaign is attacking was a campaign chairman for McCain! See my post above.

"The ad is devestating to John McCain. How in the world this is supposed to help Kerry is far far tooo nuanced for most."

This is a very strange ad for Kerry to run, considering McCain is the Bush campaign chairman for the state of Arizona.

You could be right. I wouldn't be surprised if it happens, that's for sure.
