Kerry Should Ask * Directly: Do You *Approve* of The *Medal* Attacks

[stopbush]

Hey, * "approves" all of his shitty ad spots. Kerry should call * out on this one. Ask him to personally state whether he thinks it's fair game to question Kerry's medals and what he did or didn't do with them.

If * says *yes,* then he's flung the door open for Kerry to attack *'s lack of a service record.

If * says *no,* then, by all rights, the surrogates should shut up.

BTW - why is no one pointing out that in this whole medal *controversy,* the RW is not just questioning Kerry, they're questioning the military on how they go about awarding medals in the first place. By claiming that JK's first Purple Heart was somehow not worthy of being awarded (set aside that there are criteria attached to the PH), they're saying that the military is handing out medals the way Harvard Business School hands out MBAs (ha!).

Strange behavior for a bunch of chicken hawks who purport to support the military.

1. He could say no and they'd still be on the attack.

That way he gets to look clean and the dirty stuff still gets out. It's a lose-lose situation.

2. You don't think Gillespie and Cheney would have to shut up?

Rush and Hannity will keep it going no matter what, that's a given. But the *official* RW would need to cool their jets.

BTW - I want it to keep going. It only helps Kerry while hurting bush.

12. They'll keep lying and lying and lying - they can't help themselves.

3. An Ad

Bush on screen. "I'm George Bush and I approve of this message."

Viscious parody of attacks on Kerry and other vietnam veterans. Possibly a bunch of buys that look dangerously like the real people sitting around a table and trying to figure out how to cover up Bush's weakness by attacking Kerry.

Hell, if there is no censor ship of adds, why can't they steal Bush's "I approve tagline" and then add Kerry's at the end, as required?

Or, better yet, as a 527 ad.

4. Why don't YOU ask Bush* directly?

Or is just that much easier to insist someone else do what you want?

[stopbush]

5. Are you expecting an actual response to this post?

Seriously.

6. About as serious as your suggestion

I don't know where you got the idea that it's any easier for Kerry to have a direct confrontation with Bush* than it is for you. I hear Bush* and Kerry aren't exactly hanging out together after work and slinging back a few beers.

Seriously

8. Well they are Brothers

I don't see why he can't ask him at the monthly Skull and Bones meeting.... :evilgrin:

9. Maybe he already has done that

but neither of them can talk about it due to the oath of secrecy :-)

7. Fuck being polite! Attack Bush now!

These guys are ruthless so fight fire with fire, damnit! I wish Clark would speak up.

10. Better question: Show and explain *YOUR* medals, Bush.

11. Kerry is fighting back now. Calls Cheney and Bush* on their records. n/t
