Quality & Creativity declining ...

Sometimes timing and the right tool is more effective then brute force.

This ad is timed and played in Tennessee today because tomorrow Kerry is addressing the National American Legion Convention.

This message is partly to cause demonstrations in the convention and thereby create negative news against Kerry and provide Nationwide coverage of him throwing his medals away.

"Hey! What's with Kerry's British accent?"

That's not a British accent. That's a Charles Emerson Winchester III accent.

The ad also ran on FNC this morning at least two times.

The Swiftvets made an $800,000 national ad buy. I'm seeing them on cnn and Fox news here in South Texas. They're running in every state on cable networks.

I hadn't seen the picture of Kerry with LaVey before, but the silhouette of Kerry's head in front of the satanist/witchcraft circled star symbol is quite striking.

Did you notice that the back of his head seems to go up into a point? No wonder he's Hair-Club-for-Men's best customer. His fluffy coif now disguises point.

That's not a British accent. Back then Kerry was trying out a Kennedy accent.

Good ad but...

Instead they need to play his 'Meet the Press' admissions. People can't dismiss that away as if he was quoting other veterans.

I was listening to a talk radio show on the way to work. They were commenting that the Swift Boat Vets would have an "October surprise." That is they planned to put out a powerful ad then - contents are a secret.

Anyone hear this?

I've been flipping back and forth between Fox and CNN all morning and have seen the number 2 ad several times on both stations!

Yeah. Mea culpa.
Urban legend.
I guess nobody else saw the humor in it.
Anyway, here's a link to the website which explains how it all began with a photo of John Kerry shaking hands with a clown: http://urbanlegends.about.com/library/bl_kerry_meets_lavey.htm

I haven't hear of it but the Swifties seem to know what they are doing and they are executing perfectly.

If there is any fire in the smoke that seems to emanate from Kerry's MIA/POW committee, an ad on his supposed cover-up of the possibility of living POW's in Vietnam as late as the mid '90s, it could kill Kerry. It would drive a stake through his heart.
