Texsox Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Dear Texsox, Shame on us if we don't stop these disgraceful character-assassins right in their tracks. At the last-minute, shady, unaccountable attack groups are springing up with millions of dollars to spend spreading lies to smear veterans who speak the truth. If you've been looking for a powerful way to fight back, you just found it. The Patriot Project is prepared to do what these anti-veteran hate groups fear the most: tell the truth about who they are, where their money comes from, and what they're trying to do to men and women who have risked their lives for our country. Support the Patriot Project now! Freedom of speech and the right to dissent are cornerstones of our democracy. Truth is the American bottom line. The Patriot Project will defend all men and women, regardless of party or affiliation, who are attacked or defamed and whose patriotism is questioned simply because they speak truth to power and exercise their rights as Americans. You've got to help get the message out about these despicable attacks. In Pennsylvania, conservative front groups are attacking proud Marine Jack Murtha, Iraq War veteran Patrick Murphy, and Admiral Joe Sestak for daring to question George Bush's dismal course in Iraq. In California's 4th District, they've started a negative whisper campaign against Lt. Colonel Charlie Brown, a decorated Vietnam and Gulf War veteran. And all around the country, the "Economic Freedom Fund" and the ill-named "Americans for Truth on Issues" -- both funded by millions of dollars from Robert Perry, who also gave the "Swift Boat Veterans for Truth" over $4 million in 2004 -- are attacking outstanding individuals like Vietnam veteran Leonard Boswell in Iowa. You can help expose them, uncover their lies, and take away their power to ravage the records of veterans. We know their old playbook. It's the playbook that rushed us into a disastrous war in a cynical effort to claim the American flag as the exclusive property of one ideology. It's wrong -- and we will not allow the truth to lose to a lie ever again. Support the Patriot Project now! Give your immediate support to the Patriot Project, which is working round the clock to make sure no veteran stands alone in the face of attacks on his or her service to America. We owe it to the veterans facing these attacks to fight back with everything we've got. Let's do it. Sincerely, John Kerry P.S. In addition to providing urgently needed financial support, you can be part of the Patriot Project's high-alert network. I urge you to sign up today.

EvilMonkey Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 The Patriot Project will defend all men and women, regardless of party or affiliation, Jack Murtha, Patrick Murphy,Admiral Joe Sestak and Lt. Colonel Charlie Brown, all Democrats. It would help when making the above claim that they actually name someone from both parties. I recall Hillary making snide remarks comparing McCain's siding with the White House to his prison camp confessions. And fyiw, if a candidate is going to use his/her military service as a talking point in a political campaign, they should be prepared to have criticism of it as well.

Texsox Posted October 18, 2006 Author Share Posted October 18, 2006 Nobody attacks a veteran, and gets away with it, quite like the GOP. Name a GOP veteran that is getting attacked and should be defended? And even if they are only protecting DEM veterans, aren't they worth being protected? BTW, the people that smeared McCain worse than anyone was Bush, Rove, and Co. in 2000 during the South Carolina primary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
