[buycitgo]

deconstructing the ad

THAT's how dishonest this is

point by point refutation

2. That Ad should go down in advertising history as the most duplicitous

The facts boiled down:
None of the "Swiftboat Veterans for (so-called) Truth" served with Kerry on his boat.

John O'Neill, did not even serve on a swiftboat until after Kerry's swiftboat service.

Every single man, save one, who actually served by Kerry's side testified to his courage under fire.

Attack John Kerry on the real issues but, if you served in Vietnam and you call yourself a patriot, you should know better than to denigrate his military service

5. Al Franken points out that Bush Admin. HAS NOT denounced the ad.

(They tried to distance themselves from it, but they didn't say they disagree wtih it.)

6. Half of those bastards on that ad

Are grinding the the old axe about Kerry and the VVATW, and aren't actually saying anything about his swiftboat experience. The O'Neil asshole has been on his ass because of the VVATW since the 70's, paid for by Nixon. The other half are simply rw nutcases.

7. viet vet on right now

talking about minor wounds for purple hearts

saying that the REAL bravery is going back into combat after getting WOUNDED, no matter how slight it was

as for leaving after three wounds, he said

if you get KILLED the fourth time, God will welcome you, saying: you could have gone HOME after the third one. something like that

very poignant
