SMEAR FACTOR

Kerry Election Strategy Clear: Smear

_________________________________________________________

“‘We’re going to keep pounding, let me tell you. We’re just beginning to fight here,’ Kerry said. ‘These guys are the most crooked, you know, lying group I’ve ever seen. It’s scary.’”  (Jill Zuckman and Jeff Zeleny, “Unscripted Kerry Calls GOP Liars,” Chicago Tribune, 3/11/04)

JOHN KERRY HAS BEEN SMEARING PRESIDENT FOR MONTHS

February 2004: Kerry Campaign Advisor Stated “[E]verything Is On The Table. Everything.”  (Robin Toner, “G.O.P. Revives Line Of Attack Against Kerry,” The New York Times, 2/5/04)

December 2003: Kerry Uses F-Word To Attack Bush Iraq Policy. “I mean, when I voted for the war, I voted for what I thought was best for the country. ... Did I expect George Bush to f*** it up as badly as he did?  I don’t think anybody did.”  (John Kerry As Quoted In Will Dana, “John Kerry’s Desperate Hours,” Rolling Stone, 12/2/03)

December 2003: Kerry Charges Bush Administration “Cheat People” On Education. “‘They’re not even trying,’ [Kerry] said. ‘They make a deal on a bill called No Child Left Behind and then they don’t put any money out there.  They cheat people.’” (Mike Wilson, “Kerry Talks Issues With Diner Crowd,” The Associated Press, 12/20/03)

December 2003: Kerry Says “Radical” Bush Administration “Trampled” On Civil Rights. “‘There is nothing conservative or traditionally Republican about this administration,’ Kerry said.  ‘It is radical in the way that it has trampled on that fine line drawn between church and state and in the way it has trampled, through its attorney general, on the civil rights of Americans.’”  (Ron Fournier, “Democrats Meet For Final Debate Of Year,” The Associated Press, 12/9/03)

September 2003: Kerry Compares President Bush To Jefferson Davis. Kerry: “The president says one thing about children, does another, one thing about taxes, does another, about housing, about the war, about -- goes to Goree Island, spends a few minutes, behaves like Abraham Lincoln, goes to South Carolina, behaves like Jefferson Davis on the Confederate flag.” (Fox News/CBC, Democrat Presidential Candidate Debate, Baltimore, MD, 9/9/03)

September 2003: Kerry Said President Couldn’t Find Countries In Our Hemisphere . Kerry: “[I]t would be wonderful to have a President of the United States who could find the rest of the countries in this hemisphere.” (Congressional Hispanic Caucus, Democrat Presidential Candidate Debate, Albuquerque, NM, 9/4/03)

April 2003: Kerry Retained Right “To Use Family’s Wealth” To Pay For His Smear Machine.   Kerry “said he retained the right to use his family’s wealth ... to fight what is expected to be a $200 million Bush barrage before Labor Day 2004. ‘I know the kind of campaign they are going to run,’ he said, ‘and I am prepared to fight back.’”  (Howard Fineman, “Having A Gay Old Time,” Newsweek, 5/5/03)

April 2003: Kerry Compared President To Saddam Hussein. “‘What we need now is not just a regime change in Saddam Hussein and Iraq, but we need a regime change in the United States,’ Kerry said in a speech at the Peterborough Town Library. Despite pledging two weeks ago to cool his criticism of the administration once war began, Kerry unleashed a barrage of criticism as US troops fought within 25 miles of Baghdad.”(Glen Johnson, “Kerry Says Us Needs Its Own ‘Regime Change,’” The Boston Globe, 4/3/03)

April 2003: Kerry States World Leaders Don’t “Trust This President.”   “I don’t think they’re [world leaders] going to trust this president, no matter what ...”  (John Kerry As Quoted In Glen Johnson, “Kerry Says US Needs Its Own ‘Regime Change,’” The Boston Globe, 4/3/03)

March 2003: Kerry Derides Bush As “Marlboro Man.” Kerry: “They have managed him the same way they managed Ronald Reagan.  They send him out to the press for one event a day, they put him in a brown jacket and jeans and get him to move some hay or drive a truck, and all of a sudden he’s the Marlboro Man.  I know this guy.  He was two years behind me at Yale, and I knew him, and he’s still the same guy.” (Julia Reed, “A Man In Full,” Vogue, 3/3/03)

Kerry has absolutely zero integrity!

[PhiKapMom]

Next time someone tells you that the Bush-Cheney '04 campaign is the one with the attacks, throw this in their face!

[international american]

Kerry is profoundly evil!!

[Bahbah]

Kerry is worse than I thought, and that is saying something.

[EQAndyBuzz]

Yup, just who I want for President.

An Anti-American elitist that does not have 1 ounce of integrity in his entire body.

You really do have to have some social dysfunction issues to even consider this commie for President.

[MeekOneGOP]

[deport]

Could he have been involved in the Food for Oil thingy that is breaking? Like maybe selling some ketchup to Iraq or some other Heinz products... lol.

[Steve_Seattle]

And to think that two years ago I thought Kerry was one of the more reasonable Democrats. I guess that goes to show that to get the Democratic nomination you have to become a complete liar and sleaze.

[patriciamary]

I stated this before this guy is dangerous! republicans got to come out fighting use his senate testimony repute everything his says with the facts label him a liar and end this once and for all or Kerry's going to win!!!

[linn37]

Kerry is a dork.

[ravingnutter]

December 2003: Kerry Charges Bush Administration “Cheat People” On Education. “‘They’re not even trying,’ [Kerry] said. ‘They make a deal on a bill called No Child Left Behind and then they don’t put any money out there. They cheat people.’” (Mike Wilson, “Kerry Talks Issues With Diner Crowd,” The Associated Press, 12/20/03)

This charge is not a personal attack, but a policy attack that will need to be dealt with by Bush...see the following thread posted today:

Experts find Federal Funding COVERS Cost of No Child Left Behind

We need to get this info out ASAP.

[Loyal Buckeye]

I prefer to use "flake: rather than dork., but either is acceptable. ;-)

[blackie]

John F'n Kerry is a liar and a traitor!

We are winning ~ the bad guys are losing ~ trolls, terrorists, democrats and the mainstream media are sad ~ very sad!

~~ Bush/Cheney 2004 ~~

[SquirrelKing]

Bush reply: At least I'm not a dork.

[GraceCoolidge]

"He was two years behind me at Yale, and I knew him, and he’s still the same guy.”

I thought it was established that this was lie, that he never knew President Bush at Yale. Can anyone point me to a reference?

[international american]

"I thought it was established that this was lie, "

It was, but that means nothing to the Kerry team.

[Reagan Man]

You and I have discussed this off and on for the last year. We knew it was coming, as did many FReepers. Check out Mort Kondracke on Brit Hume's Special Report. Mort's a good liberal barometer of the current political war being waged on both sides. So far, Mort says Kerry is engaging in dirty politics and not the President.

The liberal establishment is desperate and will make every effort to undermine the Bush administration and its reelection campaign. After losing the 2000 election, the Democrats are out for blood. As of now, the Kerry campaign is playing political hardball and doing a good job, while the Bush campaign is trying to find a message that will reasonate with independent swing voters.

For a solid year the Democrat candidates took every opportunity to attack and smear PresBush. Now SenKerry is pressing on with that same strategy. Kerry has been given an open field for far too long. It's time for the Bush campaign to reveal Kerry for what he really is, an ultra liberal and euro-socialist.

Kerry 2004: One handful of crap vs. two.

[Brasil]

Klinton taught me the meaning of the word demagogue, Lurch is refining the definition.

[steve7]

Can you imagine how they will act after they get their a$$es kicked again in November? The temper tantrums will be fun to watch.

[MeekOneGOP]

[rock58seg]

He WAS/IS a complete sleaze. thats why kerry won the nomination.

[mafree]

What are they doing in that pic? Metrosexual exercises?

[potlatch]

I hope Kerry is digging his way to a BAD day!!

[punster]

How do you know that John 'Gigolo' Kerry is taking Viagra?

He is getting taller.

[PhilDragoo]

I refreshed the page and the picture is up for me now.

Two Democrats; three handfuls of crap: you do the math.

[PhilDragoo]

What an apt depiction of the Kerry political instinct, or, in-stinked.

[PhilDragoo]

You can't make this stuff up.

Arnold pumps iron; these two clowns pump. . .gas.

[potlatch]

LOL, I thought it went right along with the 'smeared' concept!! OOOH, I'm making myself sick!

[MeekOneGOP]

Oh, yeah. I see it now. Thanks, lol ! ...

[MeekOneGOP]
