NEW Kerry AD: LINKED - shows McCain in Feb 2000 smacking Dumbya down

[jackstraw45]

When Dim-Son had his attack dogs cart out a different "fringe" veteran group to smear McCain.

Wish they didn't have to spend money airing this in August but it's a damn effective ad.

1. I just got audio. Did you get video also?

[pacalo]

2. Try it again -- I got both video & audio. Great ad.

3. AWESOME

McCain comes off as a bit whiny but the dumbass look on shrub's face is priceless. I hope they air it all over the place and especially in Arizona.

Veterans for Bush is like Jews for Hitler. It's a serious breach of sanity.

4. It's an internet only ad I guess...EMAIL it around folks! NT

5. I don't quite understand..

After viewing this video, how in the world can McCain, whom I do admire by the way, hug Bush without throwing up? I could never ever let such an insult pass. They must have something strong on McCain to have him so actively supporting the "Pretender"

7. McCain's concern for his political future surpasses his dislike for Bush.

I would imagine McCain is worried that he would lose influence in the Senate if he backed Kerry or didn't endorse Bush. Even if Kerry wins - even if the Senate remains Republican - you can bet Bill Frist would do everything he could to teach McCain a lesson.

Also remember that McCain's up for reelection this year. I could be wrong, but an endorsement of Kerry might affect his support in the Republican base in Arizona.

It's different with someone like Zell Miller, who is in a position where he can pretty much say what he wants and not face consequences; he'll be out of office next year. And he could probably still win reelection in Georgia if he wanted. Sad but true.

6. Great ad

I wish they had the cash to put it on TV :bounce:

8. It's a powerful ad. And it's a simple ad.

It is indeed a pity that it's not airing on television. I watched it several times. I was particularly struck by Dubya's rather cold-hearted "Yeah" in response to McCain's "That really hurts, George."

[AuntPatsy]

9. But surely no big surprise..

We have been subject to that smirk for quite some time now, more than four years for me since I am in Texas..Well I feel for McCain but at least he is getting his digs in by declaring that attacking Kerry's veteran status is just not exceptable.

And he has acknowledged that he and Kerry go way back. Interesting...

11. Welcome to DU, AuntPatsy!

:hi: Hope your stay is long and fruitful. :D

[AuntPatsy]

12. Thank You For the Welcome...

How refreshing not to be subjected to being labled a looney leftist liberal baby killer...;-) Ya gotta give them other's a bit of credit on having a wide vocabulary of such kind and thoughtful words...

Time to go to bed..I was just peeking a few hours ago, ended up signing on and I am having a hard time breaking away..but I must..

I'm really worn out..

Goodnight everyone...

[Momgonepostal]

10. Great Ad!

[Guaranteed]

13. WOW!

Ka-BOOM!!

"You should be ashamed."

PLEASE tell me they're going to put that on TV.

[WindRavenX]

14. I am so f--king pissed off

I thought it was impossible to get any angrier over Bush, but this latest fiasco w/ the SBVFT has pushed me over the top :mad:

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

15. It NEEDS to be on TV. Anyone know how this could be made to happen?

If it's the Kerry campaign's ad, giving money to the DNC would not help this air, right?

[Bombtrack]

17. I don't know. But we need to start a DU-mail campaign to get the Kerry

campaign or the DNC to run it. I know it would be illegal for a 527 to run it, but I'm pretty sure with some alterations at least that the DNC could run it.

[Bombtrack]

16. All I can say is

Oh snap

That is the kind of ad they should have been running for a long time.

Damn. Whoever had that idea and produced/directed it needs a promotion.

[bklyncowgirl]

18. Before we get all excited about this ad...

Has McCain said anything about this?

It's powerful stuff, It shows the Chimp up for the smug, smirking little liar he is but if McCain goes off about it, it could backfire.

If I had to guess there's a certain quiet between Kerry and McCain to let Kerry use the clip for a few days before McCain denounces it.

[jackstraw45]

19. McCain is a friend of Kerry, whether he's a Bushco stooge or not

I hope even McCain is disgusted by how far this swift boat crap has gone since he hugged Bush a few days ago.
