Swifty October Surprise For Kerry
To The Point ^ | August 2004 | Dr. Jack Wheeler

Posted on 08/22/2004 3:06:46 PM PDT by Presto

Main excerpt: " However… in the famous words of Al Jolson: “You ain’t heard nothin’ yet.” The Swiftees have prepared an October Surprise for Hanoi John that is going to blow his candidacy out of the water. I can’t tell you what it is, but I can tell you the television and radio ads have already been taped, and they are going to have an impact like an elephant sitting on a donkey.

The Swiftees have three things in abundance: money, brains, and balls. They know exactly how to go for the jugular, they have the dough to do it, and they are saving their best shot for last. The Democrats will not know what hit them and will not know how to retaliate. Get set folks. The Kerry Train Wreck is not going to be a pretty sight. "

Dr. Jack Wheeler is usually spot on. I sure hope he is in this case. It sounds like the Swiftees are just getting warmed up. :)

They also have the truth on their side.

I've seen an elephant stomp a goat. Not a pretty sight.

I heard something on the radio today...could've been on either Steve Malzberg's or Monica Crowley's show...about a documentary film (& I'm not using the Michael Moore definition of documentary ;-)

Don't remember who said it, but I did hear it...just listened, read & viewed so much today that it's all running together :-(

C'mon. How bout a hint.

Is it something he did specifically, or is it simply a very good and creative ad?

Perhaps a real soldier "borrowed" Kerry's 8mm movie cam and has a special treat for us?

Just guessing (and dreaming).

Now I'm getting desperate. Somebody tell me how the Swift Boat Veterans can air an ad in October, if they are muzzled by CFR 60 days before the election. I'd love to believe this article, but don't see how it works.

They can't run ads in October because they are a 527 organization. Part of the McCain-Feingold regulation.

Or... is Wheeler using the term "October Surprise" as a generic term, not actually referring to dates?

I kind of figured that. This has been 30 years in the making. These guys have been thinking about this for a very, very long time.

What you are watching, folks, is a 30 year old festering boil on the backside of American being lanced. It's been a long time festering and although it's going to look ugly to those who don't remember Vietnam, to those who had no one there, but to those of us who did......it's going to look like blessed healing.

George Will mentioned it also. A 28 minute documentary. The DEM hack had the "Oh crap" look.

Do we have a really definitive reading on this? It has me worried.

I've been wondering about that myself. But I suspect that unless an ad instructs you how to vote that it cannot be blocked. Just a suspicion.

Thanks...I'll send them a financial token of my appreciation. If ten million of us only sent them $50 each, then they would have $500,000,000.00 to take out Kerry with.

Simple.

It's a documentary film.

As such, it is exempt from the CFR.

Just like Mikey Moore is.

Moore's movie will be running right up to election day and beyond, because, after all, it's a "documentary", and failing that test, it's "art".

They should burn it into CDs and send them to every home in America. Like those annoying AOL CDs.

How are they going to get a 28 minute documentary seen?

Obviously the Swifties can put it on the Internet, then the reporters will hound the candidate get the Kerry camp on the record about the allegations, and then the Main Stream News media will go into full court press to find out the truth for the good of the American people because it would be terrible if a total liar were to make it to the White House (again)...

527's will be up and running right until NOV 2nd - With the DEM's ouspending us by over $150 + million.

I have a feeling they have enough footage of Kerry at the congressional hearings to make a TV ad that will obliterate Kerry's presidential hopes

Both good questions, but an October Surprise in late August seems a bit of a misnomer. I'll be eagerly awaiting it sometime before September 2nd...

I think they can run ads if they are backed by small donors. Someone correct me if I am wrong. Same for Moveon.org.

I hope it's something so fantastic that John Edwards sues the Kerry-Edwards Campaign for defamation of character.

If that's true, not only is McKeating/Feingold unconstitutional, it is criminal.

Political speech is the precise speech the Founding Fathers were protecting when they wrote the First Amendment.

They weren't protecting pornography.

"How are they going to get a 28 minute documentary seen? "

I agree. It sounds awesome, but what network would air it? It could be the most damning thing in the history of mankind, but if it's relegated to an Internet stream or to comments about the film by the MSM, it won't have any positive impact whatsoever...
