Here's the newest ad from the Swifties.
* Moderator note. For those using Firefox browser, you may need to use this link to see the ad
How will his campaign hacks spin this one as a lie?
thanks for the paraphrase, I can't see the ad either; I was hoping the swifties would do this. I've been calling bookstores everyday. All sold out...
Of all the people I want to see this ad is those who served with Kerry and are backing him now....
SCREEN IMAGE: A still image of John Kerry testifying before Congress.The actual text is much more compelling than my paraphrase.KERRY (VOICEOVER): (paraphrasing) ...American soldiers chopped off arms/ burned down villages...
SCREEN IMAGE: POW speaking, shown head and shoulders, silhouetted and superimposed over B/W image of Kerry.
POW #1: ...our captors would accuse us of being torturers...
SCREEN IMAGE: A still image of John Kerry testifying before Congress.
KERRY (VOICEOVER): (paraphrasing) ...villages were burned down...
SCREEN IMAGE: POW #2 speaking, shown head and shoulders, silhouetted and superimposed over B/W image of Kerry.
POW #2: ...they would laugh at us...
WOW what an ad.
I am just amazed at the timing also. Wait until the first ad has and impact and the Kerry campaign has to scramble to catch up and just when they are going under hit them on a whole other front. And after calling them liars use Kerry's own words against him. Trying smearing this.
Amen! They can get this ad out without even placing it anywhere because it's news. It's brilliant on their part.
Jane Fonda went to Vietnam too!
Powerful stuff, and still to come is an add detailing Kerry's traitorous meetings with the North Vietnamese communists at the Paris peace talks and his special shrine in the Vietnamese Hall of Revolutionary Heroes dedicated to their American supporters.
Not only in this powerful ad, but throughout the news coverage and interviews, the SWIFT vets prove themselves time after time to be calm, dedicated, and courageous.
The political aspect is now to me irrelevant. I will be cheering these guys on (and sending money) whether it helps or hurts Bush.
The story, from beginning to end is one of principle vs opportunism and courage vs cowardice.
Without their fighting hearts right now, it would be only a sad story of ruined lives. Now it is different, it is turning into a triumph of spirit.
We have owe them so much. May God bless them and you.
Thank you for your service.
Chris Matthews' head is exploding right now. He is so nasty when he has a guest on who is sympathetic to the Swifites. He just can't imagine that John Kerry would do anything less than honorable.
I think either you ought to fix your browser, learn to use it, or return to DU.
is this other site a fraud?

Now, if there ever was an ad that would kill someone's quest for a leadership position, there it be.
The words that preceed out of his own mouth shall destroy him.
Yeah but was she funded by a Texas Republican?
HOLY COW ... WOW!!!
It is a beautiful day.
I think they should of stayed with this stuff and not with the Kerry said, they said vet stuff. They have proof here.
I can't see the ad because my media player is out of date, but I can get the sound. It is an incredible ad.
If Bill Clinton could be the nominee, so can Kerry. For Kerry to drop out, would be humiliation at this point. It would also admit that he was wrong, although of course he wouldn't say it.
