The SwiftVets Aren't Playing

Bill from INDC mentions their newest endorser, Col. "Bud" Day, Medal of Honor winner and POW.

Meanwhile, RedState both scores a blogging coup and also creates further "shadowy links" between the right wing blogosphere and the SwiftVets by being invited to watch the filming of the next SwiftVets ad.

The SwiftVets appear poised to hit hard:

We have agreed not to discuss details of this ad in advance. We can report that it will be the most crippling blow delivered so far from a group that almost certainly single-handedly derailed the initial momentum of the Kerry campaign in August.

And thanks to an overwhelming spontaneous deluge of gifts from fellow veterans and fellow citizens, Swift Boat Veterans for Truth are now financially prepared to buy enough airtime to have a real impact.

To those who say the Swift Boat charges have already done all the damage they can to Kerry and the campaign has moved on to other fronts, we say, wait until you see this ad!

Sure, sounds a little breathless and all, but I'm inclined to think this will at least be one of their stronger ads.

And this ad will have something the other ads didn't-- real money behind it, and real paid-media exposure.

Seeing that first Swift Vet ad after Kerry's shameless pimping of his war record was like a heroin rush. I give these guys a $25 donation for every ad they produce. And you can see the impact they had if you look at the price graph of the Iowa Electionic Market. It's astonishing. These guys did an unbelievable service to this country by doing their best to keep a guy like Kerry out of the White House.

Boy, that sounds exciting. But Ace, you forgot to call them "Swift Boat LIARS For Truth". Haven't you gotten the memo? Under McCain-Feingold, they had to change their name. Plus there was already a reggae band called Swift Boat Veterans for Truth.

Before jumping all over me, I want to make sure everybody knows my above comment was a joke.

I understand they will have Vets, including the Royalty of all Soldiers - the POWs - say one after another that Kerry is a louse - for various reasons.

I sort of wish they would also run a quickie on the VVAW terror plot to assassinate 6 Congressional leaders. The one that Kerry denied involved in until witnesses - inc. one called by Kerry's henchman to "change his memory of events" said Kerry was there. Then the FBI FOIA report nailed Kerry as definitely being at the 1971 Kansas City VVAW meeting. Senator Kerry then claimed he had no memory of discussing killing some of the Senators he testified in front of, in offices he hoped to be in one day. His staff called it "an interesting historical footnote to a controversial but long-ago time".

Yeah, right! Kerry's biggest lie of all, even if witnesses said he strongly and persuasively argued against killing the Congressional leaders at the meeting. Kerry the lying patrician terror plotter.

What is disturbing is that Kerry refuses to release all of his records. Apparantly, he was NOT dishonorable discharged, his reason for refusing the relase, and his records were obviously 'cleaned' a little by Clinton before he left office in 2001. This is an important issue, and since a suit was placed in court for Bush's files, I find it disturbing that nobody looks into Kerry's files, who would reveal the dark character of Kerry.

BIG NEWS UPDATE NOT FIRED

From her lawyer

"The irresponsible reports that have been published stating that Maria Bartiromo was fired or is no longer an employee of Fox are absolutely and unequivocally false," Freedman said Friday. "Make no mistake, we have the receipts and witnesses and they will come out whether through the courthouse or otherwise."

He added: "Those reporting her firing or the incredulous facts supporting that fiction have exhibited a complete and utter reckless disregard for the truth."

from anon2020
So what, she quit?
Megyn Kelly (accursed be her name) used to say all the time that Fox has a top female PR person who is a nasty pitbull and leaks nasty claims about anyone Fox is at war with, including those who have left the network. So I guess maybe she technically resigned? I don't know.
NEW: @FoxNews has obtained Lindsay Clancy defense attorney Kevin Reddington's appeal filing to the MA Supreme Court, which includes Reddington accusing the lone holdout juror of being "biased" against those with "debilitating mental illness", which he says is a protected category.

Holiday Break: I've had a rough couple of weeks -- the shoulder is healing now and I'm finally getting decent sleep -- and I've decided to take a long weekend.
I'm taking Friday off, and then Monday off, too.
I have Open Threads for both days and I will post if big news breaks, but if it doesn't -- and it probably won't, news is slow before a holiday weekend -- I'm going to take a four day weekend.
