LOL. Typical response - hire a lawyer and sue somebody. Kerry Files Suit Vs. Ads Challenging His War Record 1 hour, 51 minutes ago Add Politics - Reuters to My Yahoo! FORT MYERS, Fla. (Reuters) - Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry (news - web sites) asked the Federal Election Commission (news - web sites) on Friday to force Republican critics to withdraw ads challenging his military service, and accused the Bush campaign of illegally helping coordinate the attacks. The Kerry campaign said it filed the complaint against the group behind the ads, Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, "for violating the law with inaccurate ads that are illegally coordinated with the Bush-Cheney presidential campaign and Republican National Committee (news - web sites)." The campaign said there is "overwhelming evidence" that the group is coordinating its spending on advertising and other activities with the President Bush (news - web sites)'s campaign for reelection. Bush campaign spokesman Scott Stanzel denied any coordination with the Swift Boat group, called it "a frivolous complaint." Bush and a top adviser have long-standing ties to people behind the advertisements, which claim Kerry lied about his Vietnam War service record, but the campaign denies any part in the ads themselves. The White House has declined to specifically condemn the Swift Boat commercials. It has instead challenged Kerry to join Bush in calling for an end to all ads funded by unrestricted donations, including those questioning Bush's service in the United States in the National Guard during the Vietnam War.
