Swift Boat Veterans for Truth has posted a photo on its Web site, www.swiftvets.com, that shows just how little support Democratic presidential candidate Sen. John Kerry has among swift boat officers who knew him in Vietnam.
Twenty officers, including Mr. Kerry, are shown in the photo, but the Web site urges viewers to touch it with their cursor to see just how many support the Massachusetts Democrat's White House bid. Suddenly, only one man is standing near Mr. Kerry.

Kerry is totally clueless as to what he did in the senate.
Legal isn't a consideration for demoncRATs.
The question is can they get away with it.
With the support of their media the answer is of course, Yes.
"Probably this is an attack by the GOP questioning JFKerry's patriotism, will be first reaction, they have practiced this since the git go."
You know what? I would question his patriotism to a point of calling him a Communist sympathizer. Might even go as far as to call him the Manchurian Candidate.
I would show the pictures of him and Ortega, Castro, Arafat, in Vietnam with Berger. I would embrace this and make him come out in front of the entire nation and refute it. I would insist that as a sitting government official, he purposely cavorted with Communists during the cold war, even to a point of implicating him with anti-US propaganda, then reference 1971 as an example.
Question his patriotism? The guy is a F&^%&ing Communist and he is running for the highest office in the free world.
I think a better analogy would be....
Kerry tries out for his football team. He makes the team, and gets hurt running a couple plays on offense in the first game.
He quits the football team and spends the rest of his high school life telling the school board about all the atrocities that were committed by his team to the other team. You know, like tackling and blocking them. And maybe a couple kids on the other team get hurt too which seemingly adds legitimacy to what Kerry is saying.
Kerry's former football players are looked down upon as goons after the football season, where they finish 8-3 but all the fans assume they had a losing season, because thats what the local newspaper kept saying over and over. Many of his former football players are given the short end of the stick after they graduated high school, just because they played for that high school team, that season.
Thirty years later, Kerry tries to pick up chicks by telling everyone he was a star football player 30 years ago.
I hope that they can manage to get some mirror sites up and running ASAP.
re: "The Kerry Campaign had to have known that these stories would break one day....."

As I stated on another thread last night, I would bet the farm the two are related. It is time someone started to connect these dots.
There is no such thing as a coincidence. Kerry is ruthless and he thinks the electorate is stupid.
If (God forbid) he is elected this will come out and we will be in for another Watergate/Monicagate/NameTheGate. We are at war, World War IV. The last issue we need to to deal with is a President who may have been involved in the same type of crime which drove Nixon out of office.
It does not make any sense at all that Kerry would not be involved. He, and he alone, knew what was in those records.
(Believing bubba does not want Kerry to win this election, I considered he may be behind this. He collects FBI files like kids collect baseball files. I am assuming he has no need for them as he probably has his copy.)
Well, that is the success of diminishing, ridiculing and labeling. . .'the enemy'. Think the VRWC worked for the Dems in too many cases.
They do the same by labeling Rush 'hate radio' etc.; and now Fox News is Repub propaganda; yes, and soon the Swift Boat Veterans will be synonomous with another Repub conspiracy. . .whatever, they will think of something; and try anything.
And Troopergate; well, they better not go there. . .
. . .worth repeating and the 'etc' is the never-ending story of the Dems determination, by any means.
Well, again,these Swift Boat Veterans have put themselves on the 'front lines' once more; and we can be thankful for their brave efforts to stop John Kerry.
from the RAT board "The band of brothers are the people who actually served on the swiftboat WITH Kerry. Only one of them is against Kerry. All those other men in the photo barely knew Kerry. They did NOT serve on the same boat with Kerry."
their stooopidity knows no bounds!!!
they were his fellow officers judging one of their peers not subordinates sucking up to him.
Do they have a right to be heard? Yes.
But why should we pay any special attention to them? Because John Kerry put them on stage. He's the one who stood up in front of their picture, intimating that they supported his candidacy and his account of his actions in Viet Nam.
He did so again, just last week - after having received a "cease and desist" letter from those vets, who objected to that portrayal.
John Kerry put these vets pictures on the national stage, and John Kerry who asked us to ask the vets about what they thought of him.
He has absolutely no grounds for complaint if the vets choose to express their opinion.
Kerry's overcompensating.
Some star players got suspended on Kerry's false testimony before the student council, costing the team some games, and team spirit was hurt reducing the crowds at the games.
Kerry took to showing up at pep rallies for the cross-town rival team. He was well accepted there as a turn coat. It got him some chicks and invites to parties.
The Cold War Isn't Over bump
"We are deeply saddened that the President would resort to gutter attacks and the politics of personal destruction. The big money interests of the fringe right are bank rolling this desperate attempt to dishonor an American war hero. The American people will not stand for this and will elect John Kerry, a true patriot and strong leader for America."
Repeat ad nauseum.
No doubt that will be subtext here; but appears the first big cannon fired was their legal team attempting to silence the media; warning them against even showing this ad.
The mind of the Left is a scary thing.
maybe you should try listening instead of shouting.
Glad to see the swifties are prepared for this.
