In todays speech, Kerry denounced the swiftboat ads. In the last five minutes, however, I have just seen two moveon.org ads that attack Bush. The first showed a swiftboat in vietnam and how you are attacking a "hero", Then it shows McCain attacking the ad and says Bush should have it pulled. The second goes something like this: during the vietnam war one man went to Vietnam and became a hero; the second man used daddy's pull to get in the air national guard, became a pilot, and missed physicals and other training. It asks who you want as president.

What a hypocrite! He attacks your ads, then has his rich buddy Sokros(?) put ads like this out that. If he wants to counter your ads, he should just release all medical and service records. I'll bet he is going to tell moveon.org to pull their ads so he can try to get Bush to tell you guys the same thing. You can really see what a sneak this guy is. Keep up the good work, and never back down.

Kerry in his speach today, challenged Bush if he wanted to speak about ther Vietnam Service, since we all know that Bush didn't serve, its seems to me that Kerry opened the door for one of the Swiftie's to answer the call and say YES....

He also said, that when his ship was faced with fire, the right thing to do was to turn into it, and fire back, he adds and thats exactly what he plans on doing now........Wish he would have done that in the first place, instead of turning tail and running...only to return and pick up the SF guy AFTER he realized they were not receiving any incomming fire...You guys are getting to him, keep up the great work........He asked for it, now he doesn't know how to handle it.....

Trust me, firefighters do NOT support Kerry, in the majority - not even close.

Their General President sold them out for a chair on the Kerry campaign and for Secretary of Labor in the event of a Kerry win.

The rank and file are bitterly opposed to the IAFF's misrepresentation of their support.

There is some of the old-style Tammany Hall kinds of tactics being brought to bear upon IAFF members who buck the endorsement publicly.

The IAFF hasn't even appropriately represented it's own 263,000 members, much less the 1.2 MILLION firefighters in the United States.

The union leaders are all socialists in firefighter's turn-outs - it's causing the biggest upheaval in the history of the union.

Wouldn't it be great if all 254 Swift Boat Vets all wrote Kerry and agreed to debate him, at the same time?

I bet he'd do just as they did for Hannity & Colmes tonight, decline to appear, after agreeing, LOL.

I would like to know why he did not say this in front of the VFW? Of course, we know why....he would have been bood off the stage.

I loved it when I saw the picture of the couple of vets turning their backs on him...just wish it had been the entire group...of course the media failed to mention (other than Fox) about the lack of a standing oviation - President Bush received one.

I, too, wondered why his speech today wasn't goven yesterday at the VFW convention because of the subject matter. After being in Ohio, he probably saw the ad quite often, and it must have really gotten to him to address it today. As an aside, he was holding a phone question and answer session yesterday with Ohio reporters. They were NOT allowed to ask any question unless it dealt with policy - no questions regarding military service, etc.

I have been a proud member of the IAFF for 30 years and a union president for 20 years but im ashamed that the IAFF would let its name be associated with the traitor john fonda kerry. I hope that the leadership of the IAFF sees that many members of its organazation have been members of the service,and many fought in nam,and to endorse this lying,dirt bag kerry, only tarnishes the reputation of the IAFF>.I hope some leader in the IAFF organization comes to their senses and denounces john fonda kerry as the fraud ,lying sack of bull dung that he is.I served in the USAF as a SSgt. and in a IAFF local as a capt,and union leader and will state that as of now the IAFF does not speak for me,and i do not forgive or forget. Evil or Very Mad

GOD help the IAFF, and GOD bless the true American vets fighting this 2nd nam war of truth.
