The protest activities are much more of interest to the American people than an argument over medals.
I pray ads on the anti-war activities are next.
Serious question: Could the commanding officers have approved the "letter of the rules" purple hearts in order to dispose of Kerry?
We need more vets backing up the Swiftvets!
These guys need to be depolyed to all the local talk shows.
These guys need to get on Hanity.
It must be an endless parade of veterans against kerry.

"At the same time, Drudge also erroneously reported that Kranish, a 20-year Globe veteran, had written the introduction to a Kerry-authorized campaign book, "Our Plan for America: Stronger at Home, Respected in the World."
In fact, Baron said, Kranish had no connection to the Kerry campaign book and did not write its introduction.
Baron noted that earlier this summer Kranish worked with PublicAffairs -- the publisher of the Boston Globe biography of Kerry, "John F. Kerry: The Complete Biography by the Boston Globe Reporters Who Know Him Best" -- to write a short introduction to a second project: an independent, unauthorized review of publicly available documents dealing with the platform and policy statements of Kerry and Edwards. That project was in no way connected with the Kerry-Edwards campaign, Baron said.
"When PublicAffairs subsequently struck an agreement with the Kerry campaign to do an official campaign book, Kranish's relationship with the project immediately ended," Baron said.
Peter Osnos, publisher of PublicAffairs, said both Drudge and Amazon, the online bookseller peddling the upcoming Kerry-Edwards book, had made a mistake in suggesting Kranish had written its introduction.
"As far as I can tell, if there's any malign intent here, it was someone making Drudge think Michael was somehow doing something for [Kerry's] campaign," Osnos said.
The Globe book, "John F. Kerry: The Complete Biography," is an unauthorized biography. The work draws on extensive interviews with the candidate, all conducted before 2004. After he emerged as the presumptive Democratic nominee, Kerry declined to cooperate with further interviews.
Amazon, the online bookseller, apparently contributed to the confusion with a listing for the Kerry-approved campaign book indicating Kranish as the author. PublicAffairs' officials said yesterday that Amazon had agreed to revise the listing immediately.
Kerry campaign spokesman Michael Meehan said Kranish had no connection to the campaign."
Not only was Kerry's bogus Cambodia story published in the Boston Globe, but Kerry used it in a speech on the SENATE FLOOR in the 1980's. Hugh Hewitt is trying to locate the relevant issue of the Congressional Record (and he will find it.)
I'm hoping the POW/MIA will be the next up.
Sorry, Kerry's bogus story about Cambodia was published in the Boston Herald.
Here is an interesting point made on the beltwayboys on fox.
Kerry is saying First he will build the military. THEN he will solicit international approval of america THEN he will go after the terrorists.
This is in a DNC ad?!
I would not trust kerry to take command of baking chocolate chip cookies.
The next up should be his traitorous testimony alleging war crimes in which he participated. His message is a dreadful pack of lies and he looks like a snotty, aloof, effette northeastern liberal.
Everyone note, the other day Kerry said he would pursue the war on terror with "more sensitivity."
What, we hit bin Laden with laundry as clean as a baby's bottom? Sensitivity!
Another gaffe that should be used to kill him politically.
(s)Kerry will torture saddam with the fluffy pillows.(/s)
Bump!
The closest Kerry has ever been to a hero, was at the sandwich shop.
How can the Globe stand by its story when the individual whose opinion they are reporting signs an affidavit saying that they are wrong? There is no end to the lies and distortions that liberals will resort to.
Yup, and Neal Gabler on Fox new watch touted the "they didn;t serve on Jf'nK's boat" line too.

And in a shocking change of policy, he may send french maids to spank Saddam with fluffy silk dusters. (/sarcasm off) I'm waiting for more details of Kerry's proposed "sensitive war on terror." This could be good.
I totally agree. He needs to be crushed so badly they will even vote him out of the senate.
