Posted by steve @ 06:54 PM EST [Link]

ROUND TWO: Swift Boat Veterans for Truth have launched a new commercial attacking John Kerry's Vietnam record, this time dealing with Kerry’s verbal attacks on many of his shipmates during testimony from Kerry to the US Senate in 1971. The ad features reaction from his former Vietnam War comrades. It's probably even harsher than the previous ad because it's Kerry's own words that sink him.

Given what a lot of POWs had to suffer with after Kerry's testimony, I can understand why they're angry. I can't even imagine being tortured while having Kerry's words being read out to you.

Watch the new ad, "Sellout", here.

[Update - 7:05pm] Boy, if Kerry had just ignored these guys, this story would have disappeared but by going after the group so hard he's only managed to spread the story even faster. The latest genius move from the Kerry braintrust? Filing a complaint with the FEC charging that Swift Boat Veterans for Truth is linked to the Bush-Cheney campaign.

John Kerry is too stupid to be president.
