with only one possible goal: to scare the stations
into dropping the ad. How? By misstating provable
facts that back up the ad�s claims, and by shamelessly
misrepresenting the law. How, specifically? On the
legal side of the ledger, by trotting out the standard
bogeymen for TV stations: false and misleading
advertising, frowned on by the FTC; the specter of
libel suits; dark hints of serious damages unless, �in
the public interest,� station managers refuse to run
the ad.
On the factual side, one assertion by Kerry�s lawyers
is that Swift Boat Veterans For Truth is a �sham�
organization. Why? Because its hard-hitting
controversial ad was �spearheaded� by a �Texas
corporate media consultant� and �financed largely� by
a Houston homebuilder. Since when does the support of
a businessman who believes the claims of a large
number of Navy Vietnam veterans make the entire
organization, ipso facto, a �sham��i.e., a fake? Only
the naïve would regard this contentless assertion as
having any substance and not recognize it for what it
is: an ad hominem attack.
