"The FCC will have to investigate whether the ads are, as alleged, untrue. Think the FCC will look the SBVs in the eye and say they are lying?"

And this second ad using sKerry's own voice, Ooops, thats proof of lying,

[vigilence]

As Hamlet said, "Me thinks he doth protest too much"!

[votelife]

For all who need to see the ad, email the ad, etc:

[Semi Civil Servant]

Kerry is acting as if he can't possibly back up his claims in light of the claims of the swift boat vets. It has become perfectly clear today that Kerry is in deep trouble over this. His lifetime of lies is finally being exposed.

[Exit148]

OK --so if this is a stupid move, who is behind it? We suspect the WJC/HRC duo doesn't want Kerry in.

Someone must be telling Matthews, Davis, Carville to lose their cool to send the balance over to the other side.

So-- what gives?

[WestTexasWend]

If the SwiftVet ads get pulled...even briefly...the void should be filled with images of Kerry and Fonda.

She can claim they never met at the protests but she's just dropped big bucks to get Ichabod elected so there's damned sure a connection NOW.

Anyone want to join "SwiftJustice for KerryFonda"?

Question. What would happen if it could be shown that the Kerry campaign were coordinating the articles in the New York Times and the Boston Globe, essentially providing him with free unpaid advertising? I realize that could backfire with talk radio, but I'm curious.

[austingirl]

Kerry can't believe the swifties aren't coordinating with Bush because his campaign is working with Soros et al. The swifties are against Kerry as CIC and said if he were running as a Republican, they would mount these ads.

[Dog Gone]

The issue is whether the Bush Admin is collaborating with Mr. Perry, the fellow who put up the couple of hundred thou for the SBV ads

What collaboration? I think the successful homebuilder is perfectly capable of deciding where and when to contribute to political causes on his own. Kerry is going to have to better than allege that some people who have donated to the vets know Bush or Rove.

[Mamzelle]

OK--can't our side do the same thing? I'll bet there's much better evidence for "connections" with the DNC/Soros than the Swiftvets/Bush.

[Sofa King]

I went to DU. Not a single one of them had any problem with this, beyond a few saying that it would just give the swiftees more publicity.

The left has begun it's all-out attack on free speach.

[atomicpossum]

Just an attempt to get the FEC to shut the Vets down?

[mwfsu84]

Where is that champion of free speech Howard Stern when you need him? I'm sure he's outraged by this form of censorship on Kerry's part.

[Cuttnhorse]

As Hamlet said, "Me thinks he doth protest too much"!

LOL! Yes, this is great theater.

Dog Gone,

You said Kerry is wimpy here. Note the following part of Michelle Malkin's blog today:

http://michellemalkin.com/

"Just wanted to end with what I think was the most significant exchange on the show involving Wille Brown, who made a stunning admission from a fellow Democrat about John Kerry's core deficiencies:

BROWN: John Kerry is the kind of a guy who is always laid back. He is always been dealing with people who were gentle, who were in every way respectful, who have a sense of dignity about themselves and a sense of honor. John Kerry may not be fit for the terrible battles and wars of the world of politics.

He may be absolutely perfect as a president. But in term of a candidate, he probably has a series of imperfection that‘s may be fatal in his successful, in his pursuit of a successful candidacy. That‘s not to take anything away from his integrity. He should have been doing exactly what he‘s doing today. He should have been doing that from day one.

MATTHEWS: Do you think Massachusetts politics is softball?

BROWN: I think Massachusetts politics is always been very respectful of the other person‘s view and very committed to the idea they don‘t want to seem negative and they don‘t want to be criticized for an absence of integrity.

MALKIN: He is a boy in the bubble, Chris. And...

MATTHEWS: What does that mean?

MALKIN: He hasn‘t been subjected to this kind of heat. And as Willie Brown is suggesting, if he can‘t stand the heat from his fellow veterans, do we really want to trust him to stand up to Islamic extremists?"

[kcar]

What an arrogant POS Kerry is. Exactly how he'd rule too! RULE! SHUT UP you little people. I am a hero. That is the truth, and if any of you little people dare tell another story, the governemnt will shut you up for good. No First Amendment for you. No Second Amendment either. Forget national sovereignty while we're at it.

Geez, how dare this POS try to stop this.

[CA Conservative]

The DUmmies have posted a flyer that is supposedly from a local Republican party office, that advertises a rally with a number of Republican groups - and the Swiftvets for Truth. Since this office is also the local BC'04 headquarters, the DUmmies are orgasmic, pointing to this as proof of collaboration.

Excuse me, I have to go shower now...

Alternate headline - KERRY DECLARES WAR ON VIETNAM VETS/POW HEROES

[Dog Gone]

Interesting. Neither John or Tayraysa seem to be able to handle criticism.

[AmericanChef]

Ha! He's trying to sue his way to the top! That's gonna make him real popular (snicker).
