Bush Condemns Swift Boat Ad as Anti-Anti-American

(2004-08-23) -- President George Bush today finally bowed to pressure from Sen. John McCain, R-AZ, and condemned a TV ad by the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth which attacks John Forbes Kerry for his 1971 "atrocities" testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

"These ads are anti-anti-American," said Mr. Bush during a campaign stop. "They demonstrate intolerance toward Mr. Kerry, who had every right to speak out against American atrocities in Vietnam, even if he had no evidence to back his claims. He's still free to speak his mind, whether or not there's anything in it."

Mr. Bush said one of the great things about being an American citizen is "the right to speak out against America, her government and her military."

The president even offered his Democrat challenger some campaign strategy advice.

"Frankly, I don't understand why my opponent doesn't use his 1971 testimony in his own ads," said Mr. Bush. "The anti-military, anti-war position would connect better with the Democrat base. If I were him I'd start every campaign rally playing Arlo Guthrie's Alice's Restaurant, and hand out tie-dye t-shirts that say: 'All We Are Saying, is Give Kerry a Chance'. Sen. Kerry, don't be afraid to be who you are. Embrace your heritage."

Disappointing.These veterans have the right to say whatever they want.I think Kerry should congemn Bruce Springsteen and Micheal Moore.

I think if you read what W said he blasted Kerry and took aim at his "sensitive" stance on war.

"Frankly, I don't understand why my opponent doesn't use his 1971 testimony in his own ads," said Mr. Bush. "The anti-military, anti-war position would connect better with the Democrat base. If I were him I'd start every campaign rally playing Arlo Guthrie's Alice's Restaurant, and hand out tie-dye t-shirts that say: 'All We Are Saying, is Give Kerry a Chance'. Sen. Kerry, don't be afraid to be who you are. Embrace your heritage.

WOW! BLAM! Right between his close set Herman Munster eyes! If I were one of the swift boat guys I would read between the lines that W wasn't really blasting them but Kerry. He killed 2 birds with one stone, he apologized for it and also zinged the Dems at the same time.
