Kerry Accuses Billary Of “Swiftboating Obama”
Pittsburgh Trib:
An email attributed to Sen. John Kerry, the former 2004 Democratic presidential nominee sent out by the Barack Obama campaign, took on those that would ’swiftboat’ Obama.
Kerry, saying in the email that “this is personal for me, and for a whole lot of Americans who lived through the 2004 election,” tells Obama supporters that “we must stop the swiftboating, stop the push-polling, stop the front groups, and stop the email chain smears.
“The truth matters, but how you fight the lies matters even more. We must be determined never again to lose any election to a lie.”
“These are the same tactics the right has used again and again, and as we’ve learned, these attacks, no matter how bogus, can spread and take root if they go unchecked.”
“But not this time — we’re fighting back.”
Kerry says that Obama “can’t do it alone.”
“We need you to email the truth to your address books. Print it out and post it at work. Talk to your neighbors. Call your local radio station. Write a letter to the editor. If lies can be spread virally, let’s prove to the cynics that the truth can be every bit as persuasive as it is powerful.”
The email makes you wonder, who Kerry is targeting as the culprit.
Is this directed at the Clinton’s? He alludes to the ‘right’ but clearly he is referring to primary race tactics.
The gloves, as they say, are off.
Be respectful of others and their opinions. Inflammatory remarks and inane leftist drivel will be deleted. It ain’t about free speech, remember you’re in a private domain. My website, my prerogative.
If you can't handle using your real email address, don't bother posting a comment.
Mmhmm … and since the Swiftboaters torpedoes Kerry with the facts, Obama will now do a major B3 (BS Baffles Brains) counterattack? Good luck with that. Not.

Corr: “torpedoed”. 
January 22nd, 2008 at 7:19 pmObama exclaims to Kerry,
“Arrgh…Billary is swiffbootin my arse!!”
January 22nd, 2008 at 7:29 pmOnce again, Kerry is trying to pick up a turd by the clean end.
January 22nd, 2008 at 7:32 pm“Um, Senator Kerry? Is it true you spent less total time in sick bay for the three ‘wounds’ you received in Vietnam than the time it took the other distinguished senator from Mass. to report driving off the bridge at Chappaquiddick Island thereby leaving a young woman to die in a watery grave”?
“Fuck you, Senator Obama”.
Is it just me or do both of those guys look like corpses?
January 22nd, 2008 at 7:36 pm…or maybe just lifeless puppets…
Am I the only one who thinks that the reason John Kerry endorses Obama is so Kerry can be his Vice President?
