Kerry makes another video.

This is pathetic. Kerry stands idly by while MoveOn.org compares W to Hitler. Claps and laughs as Whoopi compares W to an outrageously fat part of her body. George "Pantload" Soros spends millions of dollars to oust W. Kerry's spatially challenged spouse refers to W as presiding over four years of Hell.

Now one commercial comes out and Kerry loses it. His protests don't get traction with the public, so he begins preaching to the choir. He just sent a video to "supporters." I don't get it - does he think he is losing his supporters and so a video was needed to shore up support? He is that desperate?

His reaction is not much different than his reaction to "wounds" in combat situations. The same logic that compels a video to be made also compelled him to believe that a pinprick warranted a Purple Heart.

BUT WAIT. HOLD THE PRESSES. JUST GOT AN E FROM THE KERRY CAMPAIGN. The video seems to be a new commercial. I wonder how John McCain feels about being used by Kerry? These people are overreacting. Time for some meds and a nap.

"Watch the new ad showing John McCain asking George Bush to apologize for attacking McCain's own heroic record.

Tell George Bush: stop the smear, get back to the issues.

Dear [Me],

George Bush and his Republican friends have become so desperate that they are returning to their old tricks -- whenever a campaign is going badly, they smear the record of a Vietnam veteran. They did it to John McCain in 2000, to Max Cleland in 2002, and now they are doing it to John Kerry. The question must be asked of President Bush: what do you have against Vietnam veterans?

Our campaign has just released a new Internet ad called "Old Tricks" which shows John McCain asking George Bush to apologize for attacking McCain's own heroic record.

Today we're calling for all of you to join together and stand with John Kerry. Tell George Bush: stop the smear, get back to the issues.

A front group for the Bush campaign called "Swift Boat Veterans for Truth" is continuing to spread their lies about John Kerry's military record. Their statements have been contradicted by official Navy records, the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Chicago Tribune and every man who served under John Kerry -- yet George Bush refuses to condemn their tactics. Through his silence, George Bush is approving their action. And Bush campaign officials in Florida are even promoting events for this front group.

Enough is enough. No matter what these Bush campaign shills now say, John Kerry's commanders remarked in 1969 that, "In a combat environment often requiring independent, decisive action, LTJG Kerry was unsurpassed." In fact, all of John Kerry's performance reports (available on our website) display an absolutely heroic record of service.

These people play for keeps. They unleash relentless attacks, one wave after another, and it isn't going to stop. Everybody needs to see our ad and reflect on how our country can do better.
We need you to get the truth out by forwarding this email to your friends, family and co-workers.

UPDATE: The video is internet-only. How sleazy. While I suspect McCain will tell the campaign to remove his tacit endorsement, the campaign will comply in name only - unlike a tv ad, once on the net, the video will take a life of its own. These people feel dirty.
