|
|
I have been watching the news since yesterday and the only negative thing is that the media is claiming that it is funded by the Republican campaign, which is not true. They also claim that none of the men served with Kerry in his boat. Other than that spin it is doing well and we got a lot of free advertising. It has been shown everywhere and swiftvets only paid for 3 states. By the list of new screen names here today I assume that it is activating people who want to know the truth about Kerry the self proclaimed hero. I say welcome to the new posters that have found us, we will keep on truckin and defeat Kerry. Fox 11 news here in L.A. showed the entire add. That is about six million people not counting San Diego and outlying cities. Semper Fi. _________________ Helicopter Marine Attack Squadron 169 which is now HMLA-169. They added Huey's to compliment the Cobra effectiveness. When I served we just had Snakes. |

I think the add will/is having a positive effect. Hopefully people can see through the liberal smoke screen. This isn't a small group of supporters like Kerry has. This is over 250 credible men! |

For those that are interested, here are some details on the funding for Swift Boat Veterans for Truth
http://www.disinfopedia.org/wiki.phtml?title=Swift_Boat_Veterans_for_Truth |
With all due respect, disinfopedia, in this case, is a lie and a distortion. Similar to most barking moonbat sites. _________________ On Sale!

Go to the Federal Elections Commission site and look up Swiftvets. That's where you'll find the truth about the funding of this organization. And yes, I'm a substantial contributor to our cause. _________________ On Sale!

I've found that disinfopedia is often more correct in its name than in it's content.

I searched in the different databases here -> The FEC's "Your Guide to Researching Public Records" http://www.fec.gov/pubrec/prguide1.htm
for 'swift' and 'swiftvets' and didn't turn you all up. Any pointers? A direct link, or just posting the info to save the time of other interested parties, would be appreciated. |

Oh Gee! I forgot, we're too small and too broke to make headlines like Moveon.org.
I guess you're just going to have to accept the word of the sponsors of this site (including me) or disinfopedia. One Clue. There are no Kerry supporters funding this effort. _________________ On Sale!

Well, as their site is documented and your claims aren't, I guess I will have to believe them. Being too small and broke shouldn't affect your FEC filing, I wouldn't think. |

Yes, I would be interested in this info also, HOWEVER, I found something very interesting, if you go and search the Presidential candidates here: http://herndon1.sdrdc.com/fecimg/srssea.html It gives you each and EVERY registered candidate and all relevant info EXCEPT........you guessed it, Kerry!
Now, what the heck is up with that? |

It's possible that the Swifts' 527 isn't showing up yet because they only recently began accepting contributions from people outside the group of founding members. _________________ ~ Echo Juliet ~

My advice for the Swiftboats is to keep the passion going. Really hit the TV and radio shows hard, but adjust your tactics slightly.
Focus the attacks more on Kerry's lying and undermining of America after he came back from Vietnam.
Explain how Kerry's dishonest testimony before Congress smeared an entire generation and endangered the US soldiers in Vietnam. How Kerry's lies were Fonda financed propaganda.
When critics ask why does any of it matter now?
Ask them if they would trust someone that frequently protested with communist groups, attended an assassination plot to kill 8 US senators, and holding up a copy for the TV cameras, authored an anti-American book like this...
Also, mention your website plus wintersoldier.com's so people can learn more. And be sure to cite sources such as FBI documents. Sounds more official to the average Joe. |

That's good advice. It's been thought about. This is only the warm up phase as Wintersoldier is the heart of the debate but first we have to truthfully and justly put some doubt about Kerry's in-country service in the minds of the people. What you've seen in the press about the book is just the first 2 or 3 chapters......think about the rest of the book.
after the commercial......

OK, if dis-infopedia is that great bastion of truth, then explain why George Soro's name is never mentioned when you look up MoveOn.org? Kind of funny how the DNC attack dogs launched immediately because the SwiftVets were supposedly being funded in part by a Texas developer, but yet moveon is supported by the head secularist himself? Just take a look at what dis-infopedia calls moveon's organzation:
Quote: | MoveOn.org is a progressive political group based in the United States that organizes and informs an online community estimated at more than 2 million people. The group aims to promote grassroots advocacy by its members through various political activities including running a PAC, voter registration drives, political advertising (especially in swing states). |

One other thing, people are often swayed by numbers.
I don't know how many Vietnam Vets Kerry has, but if you have 250 plus and he only has 13, point that out. Also, talk about his entire chain of command voting against him.
Most people are open to hearing your side, but you must always keep it honest. You know the Kerry media is scavenging for any slip.
Thanks, and good luck!
Kerry's biggest flip-flop of all is his trying to replace 4 years of "decorated protesting" with 4 months of service. |
