Bush 'hack' fires back at John Kerry
Pittsburgh Tribune-Review ^ | 10/9/05 | Compiled by Tribune-Review staff

Posted on 10/09/2005 3:39:22 PM PDT by Jean S

John Kerry appears to be in a bit of legal hot water.

The Massachusetts senator and last year's Democrat presidential nominee was sued in Philadelphia last week for alleged defamation, conspiracy and interference with contractual relations.

The lawsuit's plaintiff is award-winning journalist Carlton Sherwood, who contends his anti-Kerry documentary "Stolen Honor: Wounds that Never Heal" was torpedoed last year by Kerry and other top Dems.

The Philadelphia Daily News reported the lawsuit alleges that Kerry, during last year's presidential campaign, directed the Democratic National Committee to label Sherwood as "an extreme right-wing activist."

This directive supposedly was given just before the documentary was to be aired on Sinclair Broadcasting's 62 stations nationwide. Sinclair subsequently backed out of plans to broadcast the documentary in its entirety.

The lawsuit also alleges that Kerry's Pennsylvania campaign manager, Anthony Podesta, circulated an e-mail labeling Sherwood as a "disgraced former journalist" and "Bush hack" who "crawled out of the gutter." Podesta is a codefendant in the litigation.

Kerry, who is married to Pittsburgh ketchup heiress Teresa Heinz, had no immediate comment on the lawsuit.

I guess Tay-ray-sah won't let him comment, under threat of cutting off his allowance.

Yep.

John's older brother Anthony got him involved in the antiwar left. The two brothers worked on the Eugene McCarthy and George McGovern campaigns.

Then I guess that makes Kerry an extreme left-wing activist. Or a traitorous political hack.

The line between video games and the media continues to blur. The news-as-video-game company CyberJournalist.net wrote about in April, Kuma War, is releasing a new mission, "John Kerry and the men of Swift Boat PCF-94." Based on the Navy's records of the now controversial encounter on Feb. 28, 1969, the mission puts the player in Lt. John Kerry's shoes, letting them lead three Swift boats into enemy fire on the banks of the Mekong Delta. How realistic is it? Well, the site says the mission "includes broadband video news show, real-world intel, satellite images and the background you need to understand a key issue in this year's presidential election."

Playstation game let's you play Jn'K's Heroic Swift boat Mission.

Apparently the object is to get as many purple hearts as you can without actually getting hurt and then find a loop hole so you can go home and exploit the men you left behind with Jane Fonda.

So Sherwood is a "Bush hack"? The P T-R's bias might be showing.

PLEASE will people stop saying "Pittsburgh's own Terry Kerry" she's not from here, she's from Dutch-Africa or South-Africa or something. Her parents were Euro-peaceniks. She has a house here, but she's got them in 6 other cities too.

She's only associated to us by marriage, and who among us doesn't have a nutty in-law?

For crying out loud, I'd rather lay claim to Charlie Manson or Jeffy Dahmer!
