Okay, so write a complaint letter to the move.org about the outrageuous ads that flooded this bandwidth a few months ago. Be consistent!

Rip,

If Bill Clinton had used his stirring memorial for the 18 Rangers killed in Somalia as a campaign ad, wouldn’t you have been at least slightly offended?..

You know who Ron Sussman is? In 1969 he was a 21 year old sailor serving on board a swift boat in Viet Nam. They were on patrol when suddenly a mine exploded underneath the boat. Sussman was thrown overboard and with his heavy gear, quickly sank to the bottom of the river. After removing his equipment he could see two other swift boats pass overhead at full speed. Upon reaching the surface, he could see all three boats had rounded a bend in the river and that he was drawing fire from both sides of the river.

Sussman figured that was it.. only a few seconds he’d be killed. A minute or so passed when suddenly a lone swift boat rounded the corner and roared up to his position. A bloody hand reached out and grabbed Sussman’s collar and yanked him onboard.

That bloody hand belonged to John Kerry.

Compare this to 911. New York is taking fire from both sides of the river.. Did Lt. Bush come back to rescue his comrade? No.. He skidadaled to Nebraska, He ran like a nancy boy to Montaina. It took Karren Hughes to read a prepared statement on television. Rudy Guillinti and former president Clinton had to calm down the people of New York and the country. Bush of course was AWOL as usual.

As for the topic header, you're simply wrong. The ads have been very well received. At least the pundits think so thus far.

Which pundits? The re-election committee? CNN, CBS, MSNBC, Newsday, AP are all carrying the story.

moveon.org contributes money to DNC, DNC contributes to Kerry campaign this fall. Yeah, the money never really touched Kerrys hands so that makes it okay. Great logic.

Lol! Rip,

I was agreeing with you.

Re-read my post again.

That was a military failure, are you kidding? Bad example, no president would have done that.

Next.

This was the single biggest even in this man's career, not to mention recent history. But you think he should ignore that and go with something else?

Al Gore is a non-issue unless he runs again.

If al gore was president the same course of actions would have been takeing. Minus the patriot act. The decisions bush made were pretty much no brainer.

Well then with that kind of logic i can start using the far christian right as sources for bush's politics.

jeez rip you really have no clue. moveon.orgs commercials are not what kerry represents just like jerry fallwell isnt what bush represents.

Ripsnort · « **Reply #40 on:** March 04, 2004, 12:53:39 PM »

Ravells, rgr that. The last sentence in my reply was a pre-emptive call to those who followed up by claiming it hasn't been done before, though they still acted like its not a typical tactic by politicians.

ravells · « **Reply #41 on:** March 04, 2004, 12:53:47 PM »

10Bears,

I am sure that Kerry's campaign machine wont be letting the electorate forget that he was a decorated Vietnam vet.

There are alot more tastefull options.
Plus if 9/11 is all he is running on that is pretty sad. Its as bad as dean running on 'get bush out'.

Do you know ANYTHING about NEACP?

Doesn't sound like it.

Extending your logic, if say XamBinawoponia attacked the US, whatever serving President was in office should suit up in combat gear and head for the front lines.

The president of France was in NY before bush.
