The add can be using the latest version of RealPlayer.

I do not believe these ads are subject to those limitations...Please, someone correct me if I am wrong, but I think these ads can run right up through election day.

My understanding is that they are subject to the 60-day limitation, since they specifically mention Kerry. I would love to be wrong about this. I would even be willing to donate to a legal defense fund if the Swifties want to challenge that aspect of CFR by continuing to run the ads!

[snooker]

How will his campaign hacks spin this one as a lie?

How about, Houston we have a problem. Matches the bunny suit don't you think?

[An.American.Expatriate]

Thats going to leave a permanent mark!!

[Stashiu]

No, I think she was funded by a 'Ho' from North Vietnam.

[Queen of Excelsior]

Just sent the Swiftvets 25.00. That's all I can manage on my lunch lady salary right now. Everyone should send what they can.

The beauty of this ad is that it CANNOT be refuted. Its not a question of two conflicting accounts where you can come down on one side or the other. The central figure in this ad is Kerry himself saying things for posterity he probably wishes he never said. At the time it sure seemed like a good idea. I just love watching that poseur hoist on his own anti-American petard. Now he'll have to explain why he dishonored America's fighting men more than 30 odd years ago to a national audience. That's what make this ad so devastating is it puts the lie to the notion Kerry backed his fellow veterans after he came home from Vietnam. This is what they call a "home-run" ad!

[WoodstockCat]

Thanks for the heads up;
Just sent them a donation on my debit card.
They are getting tons of small donations, just look at the NY Times writeup.
Send whatever you can $10, 25, 50.

[N. Theknow]

Thanks for the link to the Swifty credit card....faster than a checkbook, more powerful than a Democratic demagogue, able to lay waste to a liar Kerry with the single click of a mouse,

It's a little bird of truth, it's plain to see Kerry's unfit....it's ...it's...SuperFReep!

Vets who have over 60 purple hearts can stand up to Kerry and his 3 purple hearts and one bronze star (am I leaving out any Kerry medals?)

[Right Wing Professor]

Very, very effective.

When I was 13 years old and watched JFK's testimony in 1971, I thought he had some kind of b___s to speak out so forcefully.

Now that I am older, and have had opportunity to read about the contradictions in his story, learn of his abbreviated service in Country, and hear from the POW's and their demoralization as a result of the JFK Senate Testimony, I can see that he was completely self-serving.

[Mudboy Slim]

Devastating...simply devastating!!

SwiftBoatVets ROCK, 'cept fer Kerry...MUD

[CPL BAUM]

I WAS going to donate $25 to Swiftvets.com to keep their first ad on the air - but after having seen this second ad, I IMMEDIATELY pulled the trigger and donated $100. I strongly encourage everyone to give what you can...especially after reading that drivel in the NY Times this morning. Fire for effect!

[firewalk]

Ya gotta us IE...........

...worked with Firefox

[Mo1]

He threw such a hissy fit about the first one

Bectha this Ad is the reason why he went off yersterday

[Bobibutu]

"I have been waiting for 30 years for Kerry to (get) what he deserves. Thank you God."

And, you have not been alone.

I forwarded the URL to my VN buddies and some acitve mil.

[Dave S]

Ignorant people will think Kerry is talking about the enemy!

Ignorant people are all going to vote Democrat anyway.

[Guillermo]

Nothing wrong with that.

Now, if one is funded by a Texas Republican, that's another story.

[Elkiejg]

I have been waiting for 30 years for Kerry to what he deserves. Thank you God.

Thank YOU for your service. Everyone needs to look at Viet-Boat-Rider's personal page - it's awesome.
