Replying to myself... I just went back and watched it. It's too jumpy... poor editing... good message, just not presented very well.

The left COULD (and probably will) have a field day saying things were taken out of context... which they obviously are... hopefully the Swift Boat guys have something better.

How interesting that you feel the need to speak for the left. The comments were not taken "out of context". I saw the very interview that is used here, live. Kerry was referring to his "medals" er or was it his ribbons.

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.

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!

IMHO The Swift vets are using the CBS footage on purpose, it’ll get them back in the news, so they can be more effective with the next one.

I have got to say I see each ad as carefully thought out to steer the MSM a particular way.
