New veterans group attacks Kerry
http://www.tnr.com/doc.mhtml?i=express&s=easterbrook082304


Vietnam Veterans Who Weren't Rescued. Sure, John Kerry may have pulled a Green Beret out of the water under enemy fire. But records obtained by this organization show that there were literally thousands of U.S. soldiers during the Vietnam War who were never rescued by John Kerry. Where was Kerry? Why didn't he act? Group founder Karl Yafnaro of Grapevine, Texas, an Army lieutenant in Vietnam, says in a shocking television ad, "We were pinned down near Pleiku in '67, mortar rounds exploding everywhere, and we kept saying, 'Where's John Kerry, where's John Kerry?' He never came." The group charges that Kerry's failure to rescue thousands of armed service members during the Vietnam War means that he will cut funding for marching boots, mesh belts, sleeping bags, and other military necessities.

5. Why did the TRUE Veteran of a Foreign War get Booed before the VFW?
and the AWOL/Draft Dodger/Cheerleader-in-chief gets cheered???

I tell you, if Kerry loses this election I will have lost 90% of my faith in the sanity and fairness of Americans.

6. Was John Kerry certified to give CPR to a hamster?
Bwahahah!

All across the country small, furry constituents are organizing and empowering themselves politically for the first time. They demand to know why John Kerry placed an innocent, trusting little hamster in danger in the first place. Why wasn't the hamster wearing a life vest? Was John Kerry certified to give CPR to a hamster? Why were there no miniature defibrillators available? And if John Kerry really saved a hamster, where is that hamster today--why hasn't he been introduced to the media? Rumor says the hamster is being held incommunicado somewhere in a little wheel.

7. Good One!
Of course Karl Rove and his buddies will come out with an ad that says "If Kerry Really Cared, he would have given his life".

They never mention Bush sat out the Nam war drinking beer and eating tacos in the good old USA.

8. Seriously now...
One of the most effective ways to counter this whole smearvet thing will be humor.

Laugh these guys off the stage.

9. Don't you just know that the next time you argue with a wingnut,
he will quote this very "press release" as evidence of Kerry's "cowardice" and lack of concern for other vets. "There were thousands of soldiers he didn't save--thousands!!!

15. Where was John Kerry after I wrecked my Porsche???
Sure, it was my fault for driving too fast, but when the chips were down (i.e. my car was wrapped around the tree), Kerry was NOWHERE to be found!!! I had to rely on the fire dept and their jaws of life to save me???

John Kerry, you are no hero!!! :D

P.S. When my 16 year old poodle died last year, guess what... NO SIGN OF JOHN KERRY!!! He ran away and left her to die of old age!!!

Damn you, John Kerry... damn you all to hell!!! :D
