I can't get the link to work. What is it and where can I see it at?

It's the second Swift Vets ad. That's the only link I have.

And tie their ad in with what is being done at Judicial Watch. They have started another attack against the Kerry Konvoy. They retort with...the publishers of the Swiftvets book should "pull" it from the stores. Oh, that pesky first amendment!

Admittedly I have been posting the same thing at many other blogs hoping that it will be discussed more, but I think the most devastating and least reported issue of with Kerry is his attendance at the VVAW meeting in which they discussed and voted on whether to assasinate US Senators. Kerry did not only participate (information indicates he voted No) he has since tried to coverup his participation.

If Bill's link isn't working I've got it on my server:

At risk of sounding like a total nerd Bill, Kerry's pronunciation of "Ghengis," only screwed it up the same amount that most English speakers do. His first consonant was correct, it's supposed to be somewhere between "Chingiz" and "Jengis."

That dorkery out of the way, this is a pretty devastating ad. When I brought this issue up with my father the other day (a partisan Dem), the best defense he could come up with was that they need to let Vietnam go. The same, we all know, could be said of Senator Kerry.

I realize the "correct" pronunciation of Ghengis. I also realize that newscasters that say "Ni-jair" sound like total ASSHOLES.

Heh.

Bill, the first guy is Joe Ponder. He's not a former POW, but a swift boat crewmember.

I know, I've corresponded with Ponder. Where did I say that he was a POW?

Ah teh transcript. Not my transcript. I'll change.

Exactly!

And, honestly, that's why I always use the "incorrect" pronunciation.

Funny, the New Oxford American Dictionary spells it "Genghis" and gives both pronunciations hard 'G' and soft 'J.' Must be like Gerrymander ...

Did you hear the latest from jonnie??? He is filing a complaint with the FEC per Drudge....This guy is a real pussy isn't he? He can dish it out but he sure can't take it. Hero my ass. He is a traitor and a poor example of a man in my humble estimation - but of course I have some mighty high ideals. I always thought highly of so many people that I have since found to be less than perfect. You know, there is no such thing as a perfect person - only a perfect asshole and you know who I am talking about don't you???

I only worry that the Dems will find a way to suppress this stuff. It is really telling, and you can tell it hits home, as John Kerry doesn't try to answer the charges, but trys to discredit the ads and the people. They turn loose the Democrat smear machine, as they can't respond, especially to the pictures and sound of John Kerry in 1971.

They were quite successful against Gary Aldrich in 1995-6, at least keeping him off television. His book still sold, and I understand that the Swift Boat Vets book now has 550,000 in print.

Another good sign are the cartoons that poke fun at the "Cambodia in Christmas" and Kerry in a Swift boat, weaving between one story and another.

Amazing how effective an attack can be when you just show video of somebody from 30+ years ago ... and I await the reaction of the Kerry campaign, and the media, but then that's redundant!

Seems to me the only way they can squirm their way out of this is to say "get over it already", but that won't fly with the Vietnam Vets, nor will it jibe with their own efforts to focus on Kerry's abbreviated stay in Vietnam. Quite a pickle they've chosen for themselves, I'd say.

The nasty part of this ad is the setup.

The day before, they have Kerry & the NYT screaming "You can't malign vets like that!"

Enter new ad.

Cruising around, the critique of _this_ ad is _also_ going to get them creamed. The thoughts are "He didn't _say_ that, he was _quoting_ people who _did_ say that".

But... the quotes of him saying that he _personally_ did things are also available. Gosh, tee it up would you folks? And if there's anything at all that was recorded in Paris... eeeeeek.
