Kerry Ads re: Swift Boats

It is pretty clear by now that this whole swift boat thing is being choreographed by the Bush campaign's extended network and that it is becoming a very serious threat to Kerry. It involves the same people who did the "tank" ad against Dukakis in 1988 and the "Republicans for Clean Air" attack against McCain in 2000 (both of which worked, by the way).

As such, Kerry launched two new ads to counterpunch. You can view the ads on Kerry's web site:

Ad #1 "Issues": "The Kerry-Edwards campaign unveiled a new television ad exposing the recycled Bush-Cheney attack campaign and urging the president to give the American people what they deserve – a discussion about the issues they face every day."

Ad #2: "Old Tricks": "This new Internet ad features Senator John McCain rebuking then candidate Bush during for refusing to disavow or condemn hateful and vicious attacks on McCain’s military record."

Stay tuned....
