Bush Says 'That Ad' Attacking Kerry Should Stop
Edited on Mon Aug-23-04 02:20 PM by sniffa
CRAWFORD, Texas (Reuters) - Under pressure from Democrats and Republican Sen. John McCain (news, bio, voting record), President Bush (news - web sites) on Monday called for ads attacking John Kerry (news - web sites)'s record in Vietnam to be stopped along with others run by independent groups, and said Kerry should be proud of his war service.

"That means that ad and every other ad," Bush said when asked if he wanted to bring a stop to commercials by a group called Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, which accuse Sen. Kerry of lying about his war record in Vietnam.

Bush said Kerry "served admirably" in Vietnam, adding: "He ought to be proud of his record." But Bush stopped short of directly condemning the charge that Kerry lied about his actions.

3. I think that's about the most you are going to get

4. Good, now we can say he apologized.
"Finally, Bush apologized for the content of the dispicable attack against John Kerry's military service."

If he won't do it, we can certainly spin it as if he did and make him look weak.

6. That ad went off on its own and attacked Kerry. I hate when that happens.
Dang free thinking ads have no respect anymore.
