this doesn't look all that good for us at SBVT, is there any way for us to explain this to the MSM before they use it against us?

Nick, it looks like YOU are trying to create speculation on behalf of the DNC.

If you have some facts, lets have them ...but you don't so this thread is locked.

Nope, it just says he supports Bush. No big deal.

Nick, he was a POW.

What you are saying is that he has no right to speak out because he may have been associated with Bush at one time?

Even if he is now openly supporting Bush, so what? He has a right to speak his peace. I'm sure he and the Swifty's anticipated this, and they can take the heat.

The Following comes from Power Line
http://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/007547.php

More crushing of dissent: John Kerry has filed a complaint with the Federal Elections Commission, asking to force the Swift Boat Vets' ads off the air:

The Kerry campaign said it filed the complaint against the group behind the ads, Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, "for violating the law with inaccurate ads that are illegally coordinated with the Bush-Cheney presidential campaign and Republican National Committee."

The campaign said there is "overwhelming evidence" that the group is coordinating its spending on advertising and other activities with the President Bush's campaign for reelection."

Hypocrisy among the Democrats is never a shock, but this is really something. The Dems' 527 organizations have spent over $50 million, compared to around $250,000 by the Vets. One of the Dems' 527's, America Coming Together, is virtually the Democratic Party in exile, and a top MoveOn staffer recently moved over to the Kerry campaign. So the idea that there is something fishy about the fact that Bob Perry donates to Republican politicians as well as to the Vets is ludicrous.

There is an interesting analogy between the Democrats' hypocrisy on the 527's and their similar hypocrisy on the special prosecutor statute. Democrats loved the special prosecutor law when they controlled the Congress and Republicans were in the White House. They used special prosecutors to endlessly and unfairly harass Republicans. But when Bill Clinton was President and their own ox was being gored, the Democrats were outraged and viewed Ken Starr as the devil incarnate. (Well, they would have if Democrats believed in the devil.) As soon as a special prosecutor investigated a Democratic president, the statute was allowed to lapse. (A good decision, in my opinion.) Same thing here. The Democrats thought 527's would be great for them, since they have far more mega-rich donors than the Republicans, and there is no limit to how much a borderline criminal like George Soros can pump into them. But as soon as a Republican group came along and started to hurt Kerry, they demanded that they be pulled off the air. Typical.

When the first Swiftvet ad ran, it was Moveon who ran a counter ad for Kerry using his campaign footage. Ironic isn't it?

Good Question.
Can an apparent member (now looks like former member)of Bush-Cheney 2004, Inc. appear in a 527 ad ?
Could be trouble.

The Kerry camp has nothing.The New York Post, Some Flyer's, Some of the people worked for Bush 4 years ago so what. That is a long way from the proof that is needed for collusion. We can show even better against them and Move On and what we have still is not enough. You have to place them with a high ranking official, or phone calls, E mails,They have nothing. Look at this for what it is this is to get attention off the charges it is a political diversion to try to take the spotlight off

The move on add that kerry said should be taken off is proof that moveon and kerry are in courdination with each other. It was produced so kerry could condem it then take the high road and ask Bush to do the same.
