Swift Boat member skips rally over fliers at Bush campaign office

Associated Press

GAINESVILLE, Fla. - A member of a group that has run ads attacking John Kerry's Vietnam War record pulled out of an anti-Kerry rally over the weekend after learning that it was promoted at the local headquarters for President Bush's campaign.


But the best part is the last sentence:

Activists for both candidates showed up at the event, with more than 70 Kerry supporters competing with a smaller, pro-Bush contingent.

Lol.

1. Here's a couple of pics of the event







The Swift Boat Vets that were scheduled to speak at the rally, bailed out like rats on a sinking ship.

I thought it was very nice of the repugs to organize a picnic for all of us Kerry supporters. We had a great time.

6. That, ah woman
is none other than Dineen Wolfersheim. According to the Gainesville Sun article, she is the secretary of the Alachua County Republican Executive Committee.

I thinks she's the perfect poster girl for the freeper cause.

7. Oh I think I see at least ten of them

8. So few supporters
that they felt the need to refer to them only as "a smaller, pro-Bush contingent," not calling attention to how much smaller.

I seem to recall from another thread that there were about 30 Bush supporters, but I could be wrong.

9. According to the Gainesville Sun there were scores
When the speakers failed to materialize, scores of Bush and Kerry supporters who had gathered for the event sparred verbally for more than three hours.
