The recent "controversy" over President Bush's ad utilizing brief imagery of September 11, 2001 has been discussed in a recent barrage of media discussion.

Where was the outrage on January 13, 2004?

On this date, the John Kerry for President campaign released an ad entitled 'A Good American.' In this ad, John Kerry is lauded for his efforts in Vietnam, and shown in uniform, with an assault rifle. Certainly, this could be construed as highly offensive to those with a sensitivity or direct connection to the Vietnam War. Further, painting Kerry a "good American" for his service in this war could also be called into question, for this could be an implication that those who did not serve were or are not good Americans.

***** TRANSCRIPT OF VIDEO:

DEL SANDUSKY, UNITED STATES NAVY (Retired), KERRY CREWMATE: "The decisions that he made saved our lives. He had an unfailing instinct and unchallegeable leadership."

JOHN KERRY: "There's a sense after Vietnam that every other day is extra and that you have to do what's right, and let the chips fall where they may. Because it's right to guarantee all Americans health care. You know, it's right to roll back Bush tax cuts for the wealthy and invest in our kids. That's why I'm running for President."

SANDUSKY: "This is a good American."

KERRY: "I'm John Kerry and I approved this message."
