Kerry's Anti-War Record Discussed at White House Briefing

This was the exchange at today's White House press briefing, much of which focused on George W. Bush's service records with the National Guard.
JEFF GANNON (Talon News): Since there have been so many questions about what the President was doing over 30 years ago, what is it that he did after his honorable discharge from the National Guard?
Did he make speeches alongside Jane Fonda, denouncing America's racist war in Vietnam?
Did he testify before Congress that American troops committed war crimes in Vietnam?
And did he throw somebody else's medals at the White House to protest a war America was still fighting?
What was he doing after he was honorably discharged?
MR. McCLELLAN: We've already commented on some of his views relating back to that period the other day. And, obviously, this was a time period also when he was going to get his MBA at Harvard. But the President was certainly proud to serve in the National Guard.
TERRY MORAN (ABC NEWS): And would the White House consider those actions by Senator Kerry, that Jeff mentions fair game in the political season?
MR. McCLELLAN: Terry, I think -- I know that that's a way to try to draw us into a Democratic primary that is ongoing.

Sounds reasonable Dog. It's my frustration showing because the President's supporters have such little media helping them and the dark side has sooo much.

All we need is a "comrade" of Kerry's during those VVAW days to come out and do and "tell all" interview of Kerry's activities. Contrast that with an interview with John McCain recounting how his treatment was affected by the activities of the VVAW. That should sell this story BIG TIME!
To: Jeff Gannon
Thank you so much for providing a lonely sane voice at that crazy presser.
I heard you on Hannity today, too. Very good job on both counts! I'm proud to know you're a FReeper.

Thank you very much for nailing Kerry's colors to the fence (red). Thank you also for doing what is right.
To: Dog
I have been reading posts about the massive mobilization already being done on the republican side compared to the back-stabbing and name calling going on the Rat side against their own. I am waiting for Bush to get into full swing in the next couple of months and bring his plain spokeness and sincerity to the forefront compared to the frenchie.

And would the White House consider those actions by Senator Kerry, that Jeff mentions fair game in the political season? The present establishment GOP crop doesn't have the guts to effectively trash anyone, no matter how big a sleazy liberal, who seemingly set aside politics long enough to fight for his country. They just won't risk it for fear of the political retaliation.

I think that Freepers represent a rich source of recon, inquisitiveness and street smarts that rival the Carvilles of the world. If Kerry is a TRE, we are a force multiplier for the good guys.
Someone needs to get us a direct pipeline to the re-elect effort and get our ideas, talking points, etc. funneled to people with decision-making authority.
