GOP ad blasts Democrats' 'retreat and defeat'

By Bill Sammon

Published December 10, 2005

The Republican National Committee yesterday released a hard-hitting Web ad that shows the white flag of surrender waving in front of Democrats as they complain about the Iraq war.     

"Democrats have a plan for Iraq," a line of text reads at the beginning of the 60-second spot. "Retreat and defeat."     

The ad then shows a white flag waving in front of ... (DNC) Chairman Howard Dean as he tells a San Antonio radio station: "The idea that we're going to win this war is an idea that, unfortunately, it's just plain wrong."     

DNC spokesman Josh Earnest responded: "It's a shame that President Bush and the Republicans are more interested in attacking Democrats than in attacking the terrorists. Our troops deserve better."     

The ad is the latest and most pointed in a series of coordinated attacks by President Bush and his supporters to counter Democratic complaints about the Iraq war..snip     

To that end, the ad features a white flag waving in front of Sen. John Kerry as he seems to accuse U.S. forces of terrorism during an interview with newsman Bob Schieffer of CBS.     

"There is no reason, Bob, that young American soldiers need to be going...."snip     

Kerry spokesman David Wade expressed outrage that Republicans would attack a decorated Vietnam combat veteran.     

"The only shots these Republican hacks have ever fired are from their computers," he said. "So they might not know that the flag that flew over John Kerry's boat in Vietnam was red, white and blue.     

"Only in Dick Cheney's party would a vice president who skipped Vietnam on five deferments allow an attack on a veteran with three Purple Hearts," Mr. Wade added. "They want a debate about patriotism? Bring it on."

The childish temper tantrums are predictable .Bill Sammom writes this as a straight news story, but the confusions, delusions, and surrender denials are damning.

Were they talking about this flag?

He probably doesn't, but thats not stopping David Wade from being "outraged".

Maybe this time Kerry will wish he was spending this Christmas in Cambodia.

LOL!

Thank god, we are starting to fight back and both of those sound bites have to be effective. A lot of people never hear this kind of talk coming from them because of the continuous MSM coverup.

As for the loser Dems... as Rush says, it's the same old playbook and if you put a bag of excrement in front of them, they will step in it every single time.

Looks like "Our troops deserve better" is the mantra of the week, which is an old re-hashed line from F'ing Kerry.

I guess Kerry will release his military records now, so that all doubts can be laid to rest. In fact, I'm going to recommend to Dr. Dean that he hold his breath until John Kerry releases those records....

The de-moker-rat party is basically a criminal enterprise at this juncture. It needs to be outlawed and banned.

Attack? All they did was replay HIS OWN words! DemocRATS hate when their own words are repeated...since they change their position weekly if not sooner.

Does Cut & Run Kerry still have his picture in the Hanoi War Victory Museum?? He slimed our sons and daughters then and is sliming them now.

Pray for W and Our Freedom Fighters

Ummm, did Kerry ever sign Form 180? He promised he would do so; I just don't recall if he ever did. Anyone?

We have it documented as being there as of June 2, 2003.

My guess is it's still there today.

Here's a link Kerry Honored By Communists, post the pic if you want to, bray, I'm somewhat challenged in that skill.

:)

The Democrats can't defend their Cut And Run views. So they change the subject. sniff> What are they upset about? Everything Dean and Kerry said is absolutely true. The GOP is simply making the American people aware the Democrats have become the Party Of Defeat and I just love what the White Flag Commercial does. As symbolism, it packs a powerful punch mere words alone can't supply. No wonder the Democrats are panicking. Its going to be fun, folks. Watching the opposition party acting all unhinged.

Only at Christmas. I believe the French flag flew at other times.
