I've seen the ad twice here in Las Vegas on the ABC station.

I haven't seen the ad, but I read the complaint.

It seems that ABC is saying that since Kerry said he only threw away ribbons, and the Swift Vets say he chunked medals, they (the swift vets) are misrepresenting the piece of footage.

They don't have a leg to stand on.

what is "btt"?

That's a good thing. "Bump to the top."
It's like: "Hey everybody, read this one!"

It is good. I am hoping to see one on his 1971 comments on the bogus Winter Soldier investigation. I know some Viet Nam vets that have been waiting a long time for vindication on that one.

It's been on FOX here in NY a lot! I've seen it so much, I thought the vets came out with a new one when I saw this post!

Oliver North says Kerry can't quit talking about Viet Nam because of his demons from that time. I wonder...guilty conscience? Me thinks he doth protest too much?

I downloaded the file but yes, it's still rather abrupt, almost jerky. They make their point but it's not as good as earlier offerings. Hopefully it's a filler until a good one on VVAW, Paris, POW/MIA Committee in 90s etc.

They show him saying it was both, in two different time frames.

This is not the point of the add! The point of the add was to get media attention back on the Swifties and it worked. We're talking about it aren't we? They used the footage and they knew it was going to cause a stink and ABC would tell them to take it off, but they also knew that that would make DRUDGE, FOX, and ABC if not more stations and countless papers to start covering the add and it's message within.

SMART MOVE SWIFTIES!

Medals? Ribbons? Absolutely the same thing. Six or one-half dozen or the other...

I think it's pretty good. Showing Kerry arguing with himself is genius. Not sure everybody will get it though.

I'd like to see them bring up the Ho Chi Minh City museum with Kerry's and Fondas pictures being honored as hero's to the Viet Cong.

Thanks, and nice to make your aquaintenace.

I think the Swift Vets could show a turd going down the toilet and say it was John Kerry, and they'd still be telling the truth.
