Posted: Thu Oct 07, 2004 11:22 am Post subject: SwiftVets should show Kerry's book THE NEW SOLDIER in ad |
|
|
I read about the disgusting pacifist anti-American book John Kerry wrote after he came back from Vietnam called THE NEW SOLDIER on the site linked here. You can read the whole book and see the disgusting cover picture and more pics from the book on that site.
I was thinking why don't the SwiftVets show this book in their ads?
The liberal media is constantly saying that the SwiftVets beef with Kerry is partisan. If you can show the American public the book, its contents and the picture on the cover mocking the flag raising on Iwo Jima, they can see for themselves what John Kerry thinks about war and Vietnam veterans. American voters can also see the up side down American flag on the cover of his book and make up their own mind.
The mainstream media and Kerry cannot spin Kerry's book. It's a FACT. They try to dismiss the SwiftVets as disgruntled old men, with "their tainted side of the story", but Kerry's book is Kerry in his OWN words and pictures.
PS: Join this effort to publisize the book.

I have read it (keep your friends close and your enemies closer), and it is truly disgusting and, I might add, very poorly written. _________________ Regards,

I bought a CD version of it and now there's a very small file available somewhere on the web created from that despicable bunch of lies.
It's mainly some of the testimony of Winter Soldier with pictures of Dewey Canyon and (I think) Operation Raw and some of the other demonstrations.
One of the snippets came from Steve Pitkin who has courageously renounced his WSI "testimony" and another came from Wade Sanders, currently one of Kerry's "BoB," who apparently won't be renouncing his testimony any time soon. He seems to be one of those who thought that RADM Hoffman was the main character in Apocalypse Now.
Also included - Joe Bangert, Scott Camil, Al Hubbard, Robert Muller. What a fabulous project to be part of, hm? _________________ ~ Echo Juliet ~

Yep, $2.99 plus postage from a Canadian guy who just wanted to get the book out and recoup his costs. _________________ ~ Echo Juliet ~

I think the Republicans should use THE NEW SOLDIER to show Kerry for what he is, a PACIFIST. He said himself that Vietnam turned him off of the idea of war. The book would explain Kerry's pacifist votes for twenty years in the senate. It would also explain Kerry's anti war stand regarding the Iraqi war. We are fighting the war on terror, do we need a commander in chief who is a pacifist at heart? |

Concur. Attention spans too short for nuance. People need to be beat over the head with the gross facts of Kerry's past. Many people are "one issue" voters.
Despite the media's efforts, our troops currently enjoy some support on the home front. Only a few care about Kerry's medal hunting, etc. but to graphically and irrefutably demonstrate his lack of suppport for the troops...that would doubtless strike a chord.
None of this arguable voting record quibbling...the New Soldier says it all. _________________ Warm Regards,

I hope that an ad will be made soon that will show the American people the cover of this book. It will turn a lot of people off to Kerry. I don't understand why it hasn't been done yet. For the most part, the public has never seen it.
I also hope that an ad will be made showing the picture of Kerry in the museum in Vietnam, where the Communists are honoring him for helping him win the war. This will also turn a lot of people off to Kerry.
THESE THINGS ARE UNDENIABLE, AND CANNOT BE EASILY DISMISSED AS SOME OF THE SWIFT BOAT ADS WERE, BY THE BIASED MEDIA.
Perhaps the plan is to do these things the last week or something, but it's getting late and it could get too late to be effective. Timing is everything.
Nevertheless, every American should see both of these things before going into the voting booth on Nov. 2. |

Agree that showing the book cover will give the reader/listener visual impact for further interest in exploring - web sites with book should be listed to make it easier for one to read this disgusting book. We can assume that Kerry will do everything possible to prevent the public from learning about the book.

I simply put a photocopy of the front page of NEW SOLDIER on my van along with the forward. I live on a democrat street and even they were shocked. It is a powerful message, just the cover - no explanation or spin needed. |

May I suggest a Swiftie ad:
.
A picture of the Marine Corps War Memorial
A picture of Ira Hayes, one of the flagraisers
A picture of the front cover of 'The New Soldier'.
Tell the viewers that although Hayes survived the war,
three of the flagraisers died on IwoJima
.
Show the ad in places where Native Americans live,
Northern Wisconsin comes to mind. |

Wyoming comes to mind too. The Native American friends I have and members of thier community as a whole are not real keen on Kerry either. I will look for an article and post it if it is still on the web somewhere. _________________ "The American Paratrooper exists to give the enemy soldier the best chance to die for his country." ~~ General George Patton. |
