A Clackamas County prosecutor and decorated Vietnam veteran who appears in an ad attacking Democratic presidential contender John F. Kerry's war record said he did not witness the events in question and is relying on the accounts of his friends who served with the senator.

The 60-second ad, which aired for seven days this month in Ohio, West Virginia and Wisconsin, features 13 Vietnam veterans, including Alfred French, 58, a senior deputy district attorney in Clackamas County.

In the ad, French says: "I served with John Kerry. . . . He is lying about his record."

3. This guy is a lying right wing prosecutor who should be investigated

And he isn't worried that French's public stand on the presidential race will affect his work.

"I have a lot of confidence in Al French and in his ability to do his job fairly," Foote said.

He should be investigated.

How much did he get paid to lie in the ads?

How can he ever again be trusted by the public to be a non-corrupt prosecutor when he has been caught lying in an ad that he may have been paid for?

Why didn't the media ask him if he got paid?

Someone should file and ethics complaint against this crook.

5. Who did?

It's pretty much all rumor and hearsay among them. And those who claim they did see something that varies with the record have not proven a thing.

6. The Swifties keep making a big deal of the size of their group

"we have 240 members" blah blah blah.

How many of these idiots actually claim to have witnessed anything and how many are just jumping on the bandwagon because they want to believe their buddies?

9. I understand Smear Machine had PI's calling everyone they

could find who served on a swift boat - and I guess they found enough idiots who are wingnuts or still pissed at Kerry for his Senate testimony and his activities with Vets against the War.

I wonder if the Swift Boat Vets who got the calls and refused to go along may come out in the news media.

10. Exactly

Let's get 240 people to say they believe a rumor about the Chimp -- ANY rumor. That makes it true?
