Anti-Kerry Veterans Send Mail to 6 States

[RedEarth]

WASHINGTON - Vietnam veterans who oppose John Kerry (news - web sites)'s presidential campaign sent out 2.4 million pieces of mail in six battleground states over the past two weeks, restating their complaints against the Democratic candidate.

Sean McCabe, a spokesman for Swift Vets and POWs for Truth, said Friday that two mailings went to the same 1.2 million households in Minnesota, Missouri, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Florida, Wisconsin and New Mexico, targeting homes where veterans reside.


A 12-page color mailing claims Kerry lied about his service in Vietnam, betrayed fellow soldiers by accusing them of war crimes and assisted leftist radicals. A second four-page mailing asks voters: "If we couldn't trust John Kerry then how could we possibly trust him now?"


Claims that Kerry didn't earn his Vietnam War medals for heroism have not been substantiated. After returning home from Vietnam, Kerry testified before Congress about reports from other soldiers of atrocities.


The anti-Kerry group also has bought $4 million worth of airtime in Florida and Ohio and on national cable to run an ad that previously ran in other battleground states.

4. I got 15 pieces of Repuke BULLSHIT today

One swift boat piece of CRAP yesterday----- the national veterans organizations have sold these clowns our addresses.

The swift boat SCUM are Liars and worse--they are mentally ill and demented.

[Kukesa]

10. Oh, so that's it -- the ad went to veterans.

I was wondering about that. My husband's a Navy vet and he received this piece of crap, too.

I (of course) took it down to Dem HQ so everyone down there could see the kind of junk the Repukes are sending out.

Thanks, Saigon -- keep the faith!

9. time to send our own mailings to Bush voters!

Voting for a coke-head like Bush or a Vietnam Vet like Kerry?

Voting for Bush..a closet atheist who calls Pat Robertson a lier, or a devote Christian like Kerry who follows the example of the good Samaritan?

Voting for a traitor President who refuses to attend any of the funerals of the soldiers killed in Iraq, or for a patriotic Senator who has attended?

Voting for a thumb-sucking, big-spending, dishonest, and immoral coward like Bush..or a brave, fiscally conservative, and moral leader like Kerry?

Voting for a reckless weak Commander in Chief who knew enough to stop 9/11 before it happened, or Kerry who has earned three purple hearts and a bronze star to defend his country.

Voting for a President who plans to draft your children and send them to Iraq, or a leader who will pull us out of Iraq and defend the homeland from future terrorist attacks?

Voting for Bush who wants a monopoly on Iraqi oil, or Kerry who will work for the good of the nation..not himself?

Voting for Bush who supports healthcare only for the wealthy and healthy, but opposes it for any who need it?

12. I wish we could do that. Organize a separate group to

do this. I can lick stamps with the best of them...woot

[DeepModem Mom]

11. Relentless liars, funded by greedy oil guys, looking for even more...

billions to fatten their bank accounts -- despicable.
