Something scary from the Swift Boat Liars

Do you think the latest Swift Boat ad is over the top? Do you think it could provoke some right wing extremist to try to assassinate Kerry? Shouldn't something be done? But, what?

8. It sounds so awful, I will not view it.
I'm staying focused on the positive. But, a mass mailing to all news outlets wouldn't hurt. Let me know.

2. That was sooo over the top
even for those b*shbots. I would lay odds it would turn many more voters off

God, that was tacky and evil - I feel like I need a shower.

The neoliberal establishment attacked him so viciously that some kook fixated upon him and killed him.

It is a vicious ad. And there is no way to counter it, AFAIK.

I mean, do you run a counter ad defending yourself? No, we all know that the candidate who has the focus upon him, loses.

THe only thing to do is try to get more money from rich liberals for 527 ads attacking Bush. THey need to get as vicious as the Swift Boat ads.

What the hell happened to all the Leftist 527s like moveon? Where are they now?

6. This should be IGNORED
it's so completely over the top it's a joke. Those who believe this slander aren't worth the effort. Might provoke someone but that could happen anyway.

9. How secret was it when Kerry talked about it
during his Senate testimony. I heard it with my own ears. Dammit.

11. No way would I hit their site!
I'll lower myself at times to read stupid posts on some conservatives blogs, but I cannot bring myself to click on that link. I'll just have to go thru life not knowing.

16. That is absolutely despicable.
I've never seen such distortion of facts. Kerry never made accusations, he simply repeated the testimony of other returning vets who attested to their own attrocities. And just who are these "enemy leaders?" They don't tell us; isn't it pertinent to their charge? Note also that he met with them in FRANCE. At the end, Kerry is called a traitor, very directly, without mitigation.

If this is what these kinds of people do to their decorated veterans for simply dissenting, imagine what they will do to us once the coup is complete. We must all be ready to fight. I'm not advocating anything specific here, but if what seems to be going on is really going on, we're on a bobsled to Hell, and we may all have to pledge our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor, just as the Founding Fathers did.

19. This hits me like the rabid Clinton hate stuff. Way overkill
this should oversaturate the undecideds and work to either turn them off or turn them back to a reasonable campaign from our guy.

20. I havent seen it but
my mother is half hysterical saying over and over, it's BAD, very BAD, it looks SO BAD. Truth is people WILL believe it. They've been trying to connect Kerry to Jane Fonda since the get go, and will die trying if that's what it takes.

The only hope is that people are so freakin fed up with Vietnam commercials, they'll tune it out.

MoveOn should get on the stick!
:kick:

21. That kind of ad will only play to most extreme right wing voter
who would never vote for Kerry anyway. It won't have any affect on the undecided. . .


George Bush our MASTERdeBATER

What on earth is my hand doing? Bad hand - bad!
