New Swift Boats Ad (#5): Kerry and the Medals
Human Events Online ^ | 9/17/04 | SBVT

RELATED STORY: Third shocking chapter recounts medal trashing ceremony; reveals Kerry’s antiwar secrets

The #1 New York Times bestseller UNFIT FOR COMMAND is creating a firestorm this campaign season with its detailed investigation of Kerry’s actions in Vietnam and his anti-war activities when he returned home. The Swift Boat Vets expose the false accounts that led to Kerry's medals, and how POWs suffered in the hands of their captors because of his antiwar rhetoric. The book reveals other Kerry secrets, including his flip-flopping story about his disgraceful act of trashing war medals. First he claimed that he threw his medals. Then he claimed that he tossed someone else’s medals. When he was pressed on this inconsistency, he changed his story again and claimed that he threw away his ribbons but not his medals.

I love the last line: "John Kerry: can you trust anything he says?"

When a link turns up that allows right-click save-local,
please post it.

My guess is that won't happen until the SBVFT site
puts the ad up for downloading on their site.

I think it's OK, but I would like to see the Swifties tell the American people about what Kerry did.

Meeting with the Communist enemy in Paris while our guys were getting killed.

Coordinating VVAW activities with the Communist enemy.

Kerry's surrender plan that he drew up and presented to Congress.

Tell the public what they don't know about Kerry. There is a lot there.

Ya know, there's nothing lower in politics then using the actual statements of a politician against him. /sarcasm

This one could have been better... I like the tactic of using his own words, though. There is no refuting this type of commercial.

I guess the major beef I have is the lack of background the swiftboat advertisements have.

Maybe Don Imus can have Kerry back on the program to talk about his medals. ;^)

Yeah, it's like they're questioning his patriotism.

That one is a genuine 'laugh out loud' moment. "Ribbons....medals...ribbons...medals...that is absolutely incorrect."


LOL
