ANTI-KERRY VETS HANG TOUGH

The following statement from Swift Boat Veterans for Truth concerns an article appearing in morning edition of the Boston Globe:

"Viet Vet Captain George Elliott describes an article appearing in today’s edition of the Boston Globe by Mike Kranish as extremely inaccurate and highly misstating his actual views. He reaffirms his statement in the current advertisement paid for by the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, Captain Elliott reaffirms his affidavit in support of that advertisement, and he reaffirms his request that he ad be played.

“Additional documentation will follow.

The article by Mr. Kranish is particularly surprising given page 102 of Mr. Kranish’s own book quoting John Kerry as acknowledging that he killed a single, wounded, fleeing Viet Cong soldier whom he was afraid would turn around.

“Swift Boat Veterans for Truth has more than 250 supporters who are revealing first hand, eyewitness accounts of numerous incidents concerning John Kerry’s military service record. The organization will continue to discuss much of what John Kerry has reported as fact concerning his four-month tour of duty in Vietnam.”

[TV Station WTVG 13-ABC, Toledo, Ohio dropped the anti-Kerry vet ad on Friday after the Kerry campaign used the GLOBE/Kranish story to convince the station's management the ad was false.]

bunch of chickens....

Then they suffered in silence for 30 years.

They suffered in silence?  ; )

What are they saying they suffered from Kerry after coming home from Vietnam?

This is going to be a long election season, it seems.

Thanks for posting this Brian.

They do have one of those under dev, but I dont think it was around when Kerry was in there.

Same goes for the Boston GLobe

[KevinDavis]

Bush is doing the right thing by staying out of this..

[Chad Fairbanks]

Maybe we need to politely inform them that the story they heard was false? FReep time?

[OXENinFLA]

HANNITY doing the Kerry 9/11 thing....

[jslade]

My thoughts also. You get shot in the legs with a .50, you ain't gonna run too far. It was probably a fatal wound anyway.

[Mo1]

I agree

This is between Kerry and the men that served with him

[Mo1]

HANNITY doing the Kerry 9/11 thing

I have it on ..... ahahahahaha

[Republic]

sO DID kRANISH WRITE THIS DISTORTED AND HORRIFIC PIECE OF CRAP IN ORDER TO GIVE THE TV STATIONS AN 'OUT', ALLOWING THEM TO USE THE ARTICLE AS A WAY TO EXCUSE NOT RUNNING THE AD?

AND IF THIS WAS DONE, AND IT IS POSSIBLE SINCE KRANISH IS ON THE KERRY CAMPAIGN PAYROLL AS WELL AS BEING PAID BY THE GLOBE TO CARRY THE CAMPAIGN, THEN IT IS TIME TO START THE EMAIL CAMPAIGN OF ALL TIME, TIME TO CALL RADIO STATIONS, TIME TO WRITE LETTERS TO THE EDITORS ACROSS THIS NATION AND TIME TO START OUR OWN WAR OF TERROR AGAINST THE MEDIA.

“I’m not sure this commercial is going to change any minds,” McCarville said.

If that's true .. then why is the Kerry Camp having the Boston Globe report a lie
