MoveOn.org’s political action committee has released a new TV ad

condemning the ad now being aired by the anti-Kerry group Swift Boat

Veterans for Truth. The script of the MoveOn spot is as follows:

OPEN ON THE YOUNG GEORGE BUSH IN NATIONAL GUARD UNIFORM.
ANNOUNCER: George Bush used his father to get into the National Guard,
and…
CUT TO BUSH’S NATIONAL GUARD MEDICAL FORM BEING STAMPED WITH “FAILURE TO
APPEAR”.
ANNOUNCER: …when the chips were down, went missing.
CUT TO SHOT OF TV SHOWING “SWIFT BOAT” SPOT, THEN WORDS APPEAR ACROSS
SCREEN, “FALSE ADVERTISING”.
AUDIO
ANNOUNCER: Now, he’s allowing false advertising that attacks John Kerry…
CUT TO FOOTAGE OF A YOUNG JOHN KERRY IN VIETNAM.
ANNOUNCER: …a man who asked to go to Viet Nam and who served with dignity
and heroism.
CUT TO HALF SCREEN PICTURE OF JOHN McCAIN. HIS WORDS APPEAR ON SCREEN NEXT
TO HIS PICTURE.
ANNOUNCER: Here’s what a true Republican war hero has to say about the
anti-Kerry ad: “I think the ad is dishonest and dishonorable…I think the
Bush campaign should specifically condemn the ad.”
CUT TO SHOT OF BUSH AND CLOSING DISCLAIMER COPY.
ANNOUNCER: George Bush: Take that ad off the air. MoveOn PAC is responsible
for the content of this advertisement.

MoveOn says it has purchased air time for the ad to run for one

week in each of the markets in which the original Swift Boat Veterans for

Truth ad ran.
