Kerry's Viet comrades call him a liar in TV ad

From World Net Daily

WASHINGTON – A blistering new TV commercial produced by Swift Boat Veterans for Truth quotes John Kerry's Vietnam comrades calling him a liar, questioning his honor, accusing him of misrepresenting his actions for medals and attacking his character.

The ad begins with Kerry's vice-presidential running mate, John Edwards, speaking: "If you have any question about what John Kerry's made of, just spend three minutes with the men who served with him. ..."
"Here's what those men think about John Kerry," reads a message on the screen.

That quote is followed by brief testimonies of 13 men explaining they "served with John Kerry."

Lieutenant Commander George Elliot: "John Kerry has not been honest about what happened in Vietnam."

Ensign Al French: "He's lying about his record."

Lewis Letson, lieutenant commander, medical center: "I know John Kerry is lying about his first Purple Heart because I treated him for that injury."

I suppose Edwards will lead the legal team that does the suing.

As you know by now this entire story has become quite controversial. Holier-than-thou John McCain has denounced the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, and even the White House has come out against the ads.

My take is that if John Kerry is going to make his service in Vietnam his number one qualification for being president, and he is, then that record is fair game. Of course, the Democrats have no problem going after Bush's National Guard service. And they do it directly, too, not through third-parties.
