Most people now know about Kerry's 1971 Senate testimony thanks to ad #2, but I doubt many people are aware of the self-incriminating things he said 3 days before that on Meet the Press:

Excellent ,Guys we should do this for sure one of the better ideas I have seen. Let them try to spin this it is his own words I have made this point several times in several places. Just like Ollie North said are you a perjurer or a war criminal

I agree, Larry, that would be powerful stuff.

I hold a passionate position on Kerry's personal culpability not only in the tortured lives of returning veterans who were so wrongly accused by Kerry, but also in the deaths and woundings of virtually every soldier, sailor, airman, corpsman, nurse, civilian, and farm animal, et. al., who were killed or wounded following the 1971 testimony.

Progression: I think that a 4th or 5th ad should focus on the ramifications of Kerry's testimony and on his place in the Ho Chi Minh City museum. It should have background photos of Kerry, as a Senator, on site accepting recognition for his treason from the Commie in Charge.

It should also include quotes from General Giap, quickly mentioning him as one of the victors at Dien Bien Phu and major player in the struggle against US military people. Link these to the museum part.

And it should close with a shot of the last panels on The Wall. All of those panels would include the names of every American killed in action (and a list of unaccounted for MIA, or reference to them) who fell or went missing on and after the 1971 testimony.

Narrator: "General Giap (and others?), said that without the encouragement of the American anti-war movement (cite again the museum award) Hanoi would have ultimately surrendered. The blood of the people on these panels rests directly on the hands of John Kerry (and others?)"

You would need permission from families of those fallen whose names are read, of course. Fade to black and to silence as names are read, Iraq-style, from those panels.

Or maybe just a visual of those panels without reading names, which may be too distasteful, too much like our MSM, who have no taste.

You will need a crowded 60 seconds for this, but I believe it would be heart wrenching and volatile.

I agree. Either way, he's toast.

Yes, nail him with his own words as much as possible. They will always dispute what you say about him, but they cannot dispute that he said what he did. That's one reason ad #2 was so powerful. Most people still don't know the things he said yet, but when they do they will get off the Kerry bandwagon quicker than he got out of Vietnam.

Would it be difficult to make an ad show vets returning home from Veitnam to crowds of protestors yelling at them throwing things at them... maybe even a decorated war hero that fought with all his heart for our grerat nation with a tear in his eye due to his unfavorible return home...while the sound is from Sern Kerry testifying to congress about war crimes feeding the protestors anger....

I agree this would be powerful. But let me add a bit of free psychological advice to this. The more you can put ads up that contain Kerry talking in his pseudo-English/New England Prep school accent, the better. No one, literally no one will connect with someone who speaks in such an affected fashion. He will turn off the working class, he will turn off southerners, he will turn off heartland and west coast voters.

In the days of yore, Kerry spoke like a rich preppy who grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth. Use his own words against him. Gather up the tape and put it out.

I think you take Kerry making those comments, then fade to the anti-war group protests in the 60's, fading into the anarchists outside the Republican convention.

Then bring up the FBI report about the link between the WWAW and the Viet-cong, fading back to Kerry's comments before Congress.

The next two months should be based on the 71 testimony, the 71 press conference and admission of being a war criminal, the effect on the POWs, the VVAW effect of prolonging of the war as admitted by the VC, the testimony that only 3,000 would need to be evacuted and then the millions fleeing.

John Kerry --- wrong in 1971 .... wrong today.
