The whole tone of the Swift Vets strikes me as nasty. I really think they are going to turn people off, even if they are right.

From the National Review article about John O'Neill:

The first thing you need to know about John O'Neill is that the O'Neills were sea dogs through and through. Even today, there are some 90 first cousins living in and around Annapolis — home of the Naval Academy — many of them serving in America's fleets. O'Neill's grandfather taught at the Naval Academy; his father graduated in the early '30s, flew fighters, fought at Iwo Jima, and retired an admiral; O'Neill himself, who grew up in landlocked San Antonio, Texas, was in the Naval Academy Class of 1967 (two brothers also graduated, '57 and '59). An uncle, a fighter pilot, was killed at Pearl Harbor; another, also a naval pilot, in Korea. Several of O'Neill's nephews fought in the first Gulf War in the Marine Corps, and his brother-in-law commanded the Coast Guard, Atlantic Area. Nelson and Nimitz would have been proud of the O'Neills.

Seems like Kerry's buddies better tread carefully unless they want to open a great big can of swabby-style kick-@$$!

Compared to what, Mathews beating up Malkin last week?

My impression is that the ads are extremely reserved.
Compare what they quoted to the full Kerry statement,
for example. They left out the electrodes.

The truth about Kerry is so ugly that there's no way
present it that doesn't have some element of "nasty".

"The whole tone of the Swift Vets strikes me as nasty. I really think they are going to turn people off, even if they are right."

And the "whole tone" of John Kerry and the Dems strikes you as...civil??

Do yourself a favor -- put on your feety PJs and hide under the covers.

We'll ping you when it's safe to come out.

Well .. being from Massachusetts .. I can understand why you would say that.

But .. evidently you haven't heard that a polster asked the independents in the swing states (where the ad is running) if the ad affected how they would vote .. so far 44% have said they now have doubts about Kerry .. I guess that proves your "turn people off" is only correct in that it's turning OFF KERRY VOTERS.

I didn't get that impression at all. My Dad passed away last month and he served in Vietnam and he didn't deserve to labeled like that from a gutless coward like Kerry.

Nasty ? thats not nasty what about Kerrys little hits and shots he cuts everyone and everything down not to mention 30+ years of listening to this POS cut down every military movement from vietnam on telling vets they suck and giving them the finger 30 years after.

He comes back betrays them while they are still there ill tell you what he deserves and those who protested against our boys while they were over there they deserve a whole hell of alot more than just a little so called nastiness !

If i mention it here id be banned for sure so ill leave it to your imagination.

Nasty? ...... this dont even come close to nasty

P.I.A.B.

I think you are very strange if you think the tone of the Swift Vents is nasty. Have you seen Chris Matthew's tirades? What about some of the very nasty so-called impartial press members? What about the DNC goon squad members? THAT is nasty.

Also, where's the Democrat members on this? No word from McAwful or Daschele or Pelosi. Hmmmmmmmmmm
