New Swift Liars Ad
The Swift Boat Veterans for Truth say they are launching a new TV ad called "Medals" on Tuesday.


Transcript of "Medals"
VO: Symbols, they represent the best things about America. Freedom, valor, sacrifice. Symbols, like the heroes they represent are meant to be respected. Some didn't share that respect and turned their backs on their brothers.

Kerry in 11/6/1971 "Viewpoints" interview: They've renounced the symbols which this country gives (flash) and that was the medals themselves (flash) I gave back, I can't remember, 6, 7, 8, 9.

VO: How can the man who renounced his country's symbols now be trusted.

Swift Boat Veterans for Truth is responsible for the content of this advertisement.

1. Because he helped to end that stupid, bloody war
The response is a no-brainer.

4. I've been thinking that is the best comeback. Did you want that war
to continue??? Kerry helped bring a quicker end to the 'Nam war, so less atrocities would occur and less American Blood would be spilled on that foreign soil!

How somebody with money comes up with an ad of a similar nature.

2. Human life is meant to be respected too.
and given the word back from Vietnam that was in tragically short supply.
The VVAW protests were valiant and honorable in their own right. But if they insist on keeping Kerry's heroics in the spotlight then by all means......

7. Kerry can't be trusted.
At the Senate hearings in 1971, he referred to ribbons as medals. He's a habitual liar.

9. Some like Kerry got over Nam, some like SBLs got bitter.
Kings of Denial. They hate Kerry for the truth. They lie to maintain the lie.

11. Another Chance for Kerry to Blow It
There is only one good way to respond to this attack -- the Republican way.

Imagine how ANY (and all) Republican(s) would respond if one's military service or right to speak his mind was being attacked. They'd all go ballistic. They'd all go explosive. They'd all sputter in outrage. They'd all be hot and angry and insulted. They'd stand up FAST and punch the nearest Dem in the nose and say, "How dare you stoop to such underhanded tactics? How DARE you?"

And the voters would cheer them for standing up for themselves, and admire them for it.

So here's another chance for Kerry to show himself a fighter. Another opportunity to forever end all the GOP smears about his heroism, honor and leadership.

Unfortunately, it's also another chance for the Kerry Campaign to screw up bigtime with a slow, wimpy, wishy-washy response.

You know -- the DEMOCRAT way

12. Purple Hearts have been degraded by the GOP at their convention. Do
Republicans get a pass for "renouncing their country's symbols"? CNN should ask one of the Swiftboat Liars.
