Kerry denounces McCain campaign for its 'ugliness'

U.S. Sen. John Kerry denounced John McCain's negative messages on Friday, saying the Arizonan's campaign has turned "ugly" and "desperate."

Kerry, a Boston Democrat, made his remarks in a message distributed to his large email list. Here are the key grafs,

John McCain has shown a stunning failure of leadership. His campaign, in a time of economic crisis and foreign policy drift, has degenerated into a negative and nasty campaign of smears.

The reports are piling up of ugliness at the campaign rallies of John McCain and Sarah Palin. Audience members hurl insults and racial epithets, call out "Kill Him!" and "Off With His Head," and yell "treason" when Senator Obama's name is mentioned. I strongly condemn language like this which can only be described as hate-filled.

Kerry, who faced strong and inaccurate attacks as the 2004 Democratic presidential nominee, notes recent studies that have shown that all of McCain's ads recently have been attack ads and calls on his supporters to retaliate against the attacks by visiting his website www.truthfightsback.com.

I liked Bo Snerdly’s comment on Bernhard. She couldn’t get it if they threw her over a prison wall.

Kerry railed against Bush and US policies at Davos after he lost the 2004 election. Gore directly slammed the Bush policy after 9/11 in Saudi Arabia in 2003. Pelosi slammed US,Bush, policy during her trip to Syria.

Hmmm, Senator Kerry? That’s odd, the polls suggest that he is currently the President of the United States
