Tuesday, Aug. 31st, '04, I am surfing the stations and pause on CNN. Around ten AM, may have been 10:30 AM, suddenly to my surprise, the Number two Ad from Swift Boat appeared, seemingly en toto. I was very surprised.

The DUmmies must be chewing the carpet and ranting about the Right Wing Media.

It must have been paid for. CNN won't show it in its entirety, otherwise. I hope they show the VietCong memorial to Kerry in Hanoi.

Don't confuse ads bought from your cable company to run on CNN with ads bought from CNN.

The Swifties are targeting specific states, and you don't do that buy buying a national ad.

I dunno... I'm sitting here in Western Massachusetts, and I just saw the Swifties Ad on CNN. (about 90 mins ago)

Contribute to these guys! Its the most bang for your political buck! No one else could educate the public on Kerry like these guys can. They are very brave for taking Kerry on. Their character has and will be continued to be attacked. We must support them!

I've seen it in full on both Fox and MSNBC a few times this morning and I'm in Indiana.

Is that Kerry actually throwing his medals, it's such a quick clip I can't tell if it's Kerry or not?

I saw Number Two this morning during Fox & Friends and then again on CNN -- both around 7:30 EDT.

This appears to be a scurrilous anti-Kerry commercial. Such nastiness makes one think twice about whether the government should allow "free speech" in parts of the country where people are too stupid to know that socialism guided by hyper-smart people like Jean Frenchie Kerry and Hillary Clintoon is good for the little people.

Excellent! Everyone should donate to this organization so this ad can stay on the air.

Kerry hasn't had a real press conference since the Swiftee ads started running. Is he going to hide until November? That's not going to help his numbers. :^)

I live in Maine and I saw the ad on Fox and Friends this morning. It appears that we may be seeing the nationalization of the swifties ads. As a well known (and well worn) presidential candidate said...yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrhhhhhhh, (or something like that).

Saw the ad on F & F this AM- At first I thought it was part of a story. Any truth to the rumor that another 527 has financed them to the tune of millions?
Bravo Zulu to the Swifties!

Skwrlgirl, welcome to FR!
