A conservative group recently started an advertising campaign in Minnesota showing veterans and families of slain troops expressing their support for the Iraq war, only to have the head of the state Democratic Party condemn the ads as "un-American, untruthful and a lie." He furthermore demands that Minnesota television stations pull the ads "and send a message that we will not tolerate this kind of 'swiftboating' anymore." At least one station so far has complied with the request, which is reason enough for outrage.

That's great! These heroes die for their country, but that's just not enough. Gotta kick 'em and spit on their families too! Sick weirdos!
What this bunch means when they say "UnAmerican" is more like "AntiSoviet." (They've been duped by propoganda since they were knee high, they're like old time Stalinists, feel sorry for them.)
Too bad the RINO's won't allow the "white flag" ad to be run again.
Too bad the RINO's allow the likes of
hanoi kerry and cut and run murtha to
attack our troops.
It's no suprise that this type of attack happens.
At least we know Rove, Rumsfeld, and Sam Johnson Viet Nam Vet are not RINO's.
