Looks like a little bit of strongarming going on here... no surprise... Sorry I don't have more concrete info. I'm sure we'll get some soon in which case we can link to it in this thread.

Sounds like Kerry is getting a little scared. I hope his butler has laid in an extra supply of Depends.

[no dems]

Remember how The Prez never gave place to "Fake'nhype 9/11"? Well, let Flip Flop and Mop Top stir the pot over this. In so doing, they will provide us with free publicity re: this ad that we could have never paid for.

[Ros42]

Release your military records Kerry, and prove us wrong!!!!! (not holding my breath)

[finnman69]

Time to call the WAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMBULANCE!

[NorseWood]

When is sKerry going to put a muzzle on Michael Moore?

[ssaftler]

I can't wait until the next round of polling data comes out. This one could cause a bigger bump for Bush than the RNC in New York!

[DustyMoment]

This is great!! It takes Kerry right back to his roots with the VVAW. First he ran on his 'sperience as a "war veteran", now he can show us his accomplishments as a leader in VVAW by going after the people he betrayed once before.

This should get quite interesting.

[Dr Snide]

So Kerry is turning on his "Band of Brothers"? Or is it now his "Band of Bothers?"

[cake_crumb]

Good, I was hoping this was posted. Guess what the Kerry caampaign REALLY meant when Edwards said "if you want to get to know John Kerry, spend 3 minutes with the men who served" was "only pay attention to the fellow vets Kerry parades before you"

Can't imagine how a campaign that has a LAWYER for a VP candidate could think of threatening LAWSUITS to deny non-Kerry approved vets their right to freedom of speech.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

They are just handing their pals in the media, who do not wish to run the ad that could harm their candidate/savior anyway, an excuse. When questioned about their bias for not running the ads, the media can now say they didn't run it because they didn't want to be sued.

And they call Bush Hitler.

[Hammerhead]

Wonder if Whoopi Goldberg, Linda Ronstandt, Don Henley, Bruce Springsteen, et. al. will protest this censorship move by JohnJohn.

[aft_lizard]

So rather than going after the veterans on the truth in the ads they will circumvent them by going after tv stations, so sad really, I guess the consitution is really dead.

[1Old Pro]

There is no such thing as "libel" or "slander" when it comes to PUBLIC FIGURES. Especially John Kerry.

This warning is bogus.

I hope it draws more attention to the ad.

[goldstategop]

If its not true, why don't they ignore the charges? The fact their lawyers are strongarming over the ads reminds me of the old adage where there's smoke... I guess the Swift Boat ad is coming too close to home for comfort.

[Stentor]

Ping.

[feedback doctor]

Now we know WHY John Edwards is on the ticket.

[longfellow]

KILL ALL THE LAWYERS----SHAKESPEAR.

[cake_crumb]

The surest way to generate interest in anything is to ban it. I'm trying to figure out what THE Vietnam War Hero® think's he'll gain by suing those he served with?

[Dr. Eckleburg]

Fascists.

We should make sure this ad gets out to every American citizen.

And once the book is published, we should buy copies to give to friends. I've ordered three.

I need more friends.

I went to www.swiftvets.com to make a contribution supporting the commercial. When I click on the link, I get a security message that their security certificate has expired. Anyone else have this problem and/or have an email addy to send them this information?
