A 30-minute television special featuring Swift Boat Veterans and POWs for Truth, the group challenging Sen. John Kerry's version of his war record and his anti-war activities, is airing in 16 markets in eight battleground states, according to a non-profit Florida group buying the broadcast time.
Campaign Truth, responsible for producing the show, has added Fox network stations in the Ohio cities of Dayton and Columbus, owned by Sinclair Broadcast Group, the television chain at the center of controversy over the airing of another anti-Kerry documentary, "Stolen Honor."
The broadcasts will begin sometime after Fox's Sunday NFL preview show, Campaign Truth said.
The special, "Unfit to Lead," also is being aired on PAX network affilates in Cleveland and in seven other states, including Florida, where it will be seen in five major markets, Orlando, Jacksonville, Tampa, Miami and West Palm Beach.
In addition, it is scheduled in Denver; Minneapolis-St. Paul; Cleveland; Milwaukee; Des Moines, Iowa; Cedar Rapids, Iowa; Scranton, Pa.; and Charleston, W.Va.
The show, hosted by swiftboat vet spokesman John O'Neill, also is available exclusively to WorldNetDaily readers online for a limited time.
It features many of the men whose testimonies about Kerry were heard in the controversial advertisements played in key swing states over the past several months.
Times are listed below.
The broadcasts in Florida and Cleveland are being promoted with newspaper ads.
In the special, one of Kerry's former superior officers, Capt. George Elliott, says he believes Kerry should have been removed from command.
Elliott was commander of Coastal Division 11, where Kerry spent his four months of active duty in Vietnam.
"If I knew then what I know now, he would have been thrown out of my command and probably recommended for removal from the Navy," Elliott says of Kerry.

Deja Vu all over again!
They are playing it again. I seen an earlier post from Orlando saying it was on up there this afternoon, so I decided to channel surf and found it. I looked on the TV Guide site and it was not listed as being on tonight. It looks like it is just a matter of luck catching it on TV.
IFC just showed something about Farenbull 911 and no one said a word. Easy to tell it was made for idiots.
The special, "Unfit to Lead," also is being aired on PAX network affilates in Cleveland and in seven other states,
This is absolute truth. I saw the show on PAX, I heard about it from lots of friends and family...It is to be replayed Sunday At 1pm as well
Big deal. Like Baltimore Democrats will watch? Sinclair is run by idiots. I am not watching
We'll believe it when we see it. Who will narrate, Kerry?
If the time was purchased by the vets then Sinclair will broadcast.
Re #2
"Sinclair? I'll believe it when I see it."
Same here.
Not to disparage Sinclair in the least; they got beat up pretty bad by Sponsors and Stockholders alike, and I'm a little surprised that they even dared show the 25 seconds or so of "Stolen Honor" that they did, after the whuppin' they took over it.
That "documentary" they finally aired up here in Maine anyway looked more like a Promotion for Kerry than a hit piece.
If Sinclair re-grows a set and is now broadcasting the whole deal, then Bravo for 'em!
But I don't think that the the Dem shill who threatened "They'd better hope we don't win!" was kidding about it at all.
Look what happened to Bill GATES and MS after the Klinton Syndicate came to power;
Our Government seems to have invested a lot more of it's resources into destroying Microsoft, Waco Davidians, and Ellian GONZALEZ than in bothering with Terrorism.
With the obvious consequences.
So should Kerry and Komrades manage to steal this election (They ain't gonna win it fair, for sure) Sinclair will, I predict, soon be toast.
Figuratively.... I hope.
But I would not be surprised if Kerry calls a retaliatory air strike down on their Coorporate HQ, frankly.
Here's hoping and praying that he won't have the power to.
Re. #10:
"What about NEW JERSEY?"
I'm afraid that you have, much like Maine, been essentially "Written off" by the GOP as "Lost to the Enemy".
Alas; it seems that the Welfare and Union-State Urban areas of Maine will again, as they typically and predictably do, suck the rest of us down the hopper to the Dems despite our best efforts to resist them.
And it does not make a lot of sense to invest precious resources in a lost cause, does it?
*Sigh*...
