In new ad, Swift Boat Veterans for Truth ask: "How can the man who renounced his country's symbols now be trusted?"

Oops. I did a brief search and apparently missed it.
If not already in the works, may I respectfully suggest to the Swifties to include that photo from the Kerry campaign, which morphs into a highlighted version showing only four of the 23 actually supporting him? Powerful visual!
Yeah, but you can't get too much of a good thing! :-) Look at last night's as a sneak preview, with this morning's thread as its debut.
Its to early to try and keep track of all the threads. The hit pieces just keep coming and coming
Not to play semantics, but in my book the ad's not a hit piece. To me that implies an unfair characterization, and this ad ain't that. :-)
They need to take that image from the cover of the Winter Soldier book (mocking flag raising on Iwo Jima) and morph it with 2-3 surviving WWII veterans who witnessed the event and add THEIR comments.
Swifties need to take the message beyond the relam of Vietnam, they need to take it to the role of all veterans.
Doesn't quite pack the punch of one and two. I never saw 3.
I'd like to see them cover Kerry's 1971 dalliance with the North Vietnamese communist delegation in Paris, while he was still a commissioned officer in the U.S. Naval Reserves (1966-1978).
None dare call that treason?
I like this ad better than #1 or #3.
It is a good ad. As far as packing the punch, I'll wait fot the vets reactions. I am interested in the reactions of those who earned their medals the hard way, those who worked for it (to borrow from an old commercial).
The POW ad was more powerful in my opinion, but it is something I can identify with on a more personal and emotional level.
The ad is a hit piece(according to the rats). Remember anytime you tell the truth, without holding back, you destroy the rats. They will claim foul anytime "unfiltered" truth sees the light of day. They demand that everything be filtered or spun. We need to keep it up.
I've got 1,2 3 saved to my HD; any idea how I can save a copy of this one? Someone posted links to the first three on an earlier thread, but my browser only wants to save this as an *.html file, not a *.wmv or *.mpeg file. Dang it.
3 is the Best!
It's Steve Gardner, Kerry's crewmate, stating that assertions Kerry was in Cambodia are a LIE!
THAT ONE NEEDS MORE AIR TIME!!!!!!!!!!!
You may have to wait until it is posted on the swiftvets site

Devastating add... it needs national airplay... and then show the cover of the New Soldier... Any Veteran who would vote for Kerry has lost the true meaning of patriotism.
