11/09/2007 Kerry Spokesman Sets Limbaugh Straight on Swiftboat Smears
WASHINGTON D.C. – Kerry spokesman David Wade issued the following statement today in response to Rush Limbaugh, who said on his radio show that Kerry’s Swift Boat attackers in 2004, “were right on the money and nobody has disproven anything they claimed in any of their ads, statements, written commentaries, or anything of the sort.”
“At first I thought, that’s not Rush, that’s just the OxyContin talking. Nonetheless, this is a despicable but unsurprising new lie from a man whose closest brush with combat came when customs officials tried to take away his Viagra. This portly peddler of hate is once again wrong on the facts. John Kerry served his country with honor in Vietnam, and has fought for his fellow veterans ever since. The lies and smears of the Swift Boat Veterans for Bush were disproved conclusively in 2004 by the men who fought by John Kerry’s side in Vietnam, by the military’s own records, by investigative journalists, and by the incredible contradictions that exposed these right wing smear artists. It is long past time that we end the politics of fear and smear that we have seen used against decorated veterans from John McCain to Max Cleland and John Kerry. Rush Limbaugh’s ignorance and determination to divide Americans is just another reminder that you can’t spell ‘Rush Limbaugh’ without the letters L-I-A-R.”
The watchdog group Media Matters has provided an excellent fact check of the Limbaugh smear, proving once again that when it comes to slandering veterans, the right wing is wrong. The fact check can be found at: (http://mediamatters.org/items/200711090008?f=h_latest)
So telling that Kerry didn’t confront Rush in person. Instead he sends out a mouthpiece to say it to a fawning reporter.
The Swifties have earned the right to be heard. Any columnist who complains that this is a smear campaign or denies the Vets, their First Amendment Right should be called on it. How ironic that the Press tries to say who has the Constitutional Right to speak?? That is the beauty of this country, everybody has the right to be heard and let the chips fall where they may. Unfortunately the First Amendment has been undermined by the now crumbling Mainstream Monopoly.
Anyone who has fought and bled for America’s Freedom has a special right to speak and be heard. I did not serve, so I am grateful for each and every man who gave me the right to speak. If everyone is able to express his own Truth, than the actual Truth will find a way to seek it’s light. Do I know if the Swifties are telling the Truth or Yaaawn is telling it in country? No, but they know which ones are lying. Let them actually debate it because it is critical that this truth comes out.
Yaaaaawn Tax & Kerry came back as an eye witness to atrocities committed by American Troops in Viet Nam. Many of us at that age believed him and believed that our Government was fighting an unjust war while torturing the innocents of Viet Nam. When Kerry spoke in front of the Congress and said he saw people dismembered, we assumed he was not lying. When he said and wrote he was in Cambodia on Christmas Eve, we knew that had to be true, but was it??
He has admitted that the Cambodia story was a lie. How in the world can you be 15,000 miles away from home on Christmas Eve and not know exactly where you were?? He was on the river a total of 4 months and one of those 120 days was Christmas Eve. In 1968 was there a bigger day of the year than Christmas Eve and you were a scared and lonely boy in a war and now you say your “seared” memory of was not sure where you were?? The breadth of this lie cannot be measured!!!
The bigger fraud the Swifties have exposed once again, is that we have lost an objective press that is searching for the Truth. In actuality polls have shown that 95% of the press is going to vote/campaign for Kerry. These are very active participants in the electoral process and are working to get their nominee elected. The Swifties have shown that they will censor anything critical of Kerry no matter how well researched or number of eyewitnesses to these charges.
Compare this group to the ridiculous charges made by Wilson, Moore or the AWOL & Abu Grab fabrications. Every one of these unfounded attacks were given unlimited air and print in hopes of helping Kerry. Every one of these charges of the President’s lies have been proven beyond a reasonable doubt to be lies. None of these liars have subsequently been called out as liars themselves. Why, because the Stone-age Press has a dog in this hunt and need to get their power back. The complete irony is that when they show their obvious hand, like with the Swifties it just reaffirms their complete lack of credibility, which is in the end is their reason for existence.
The crumbling of the Mainstream Monopoly continues and after this election Humpty Dumbie will never be put together again, thankfully. The new press is getting the message out and is exactly where the Swifties are motoring. Their story is cruising down the Mekong Delta of ideas and truth and past the razor wire of PravdABDNC. They are being examined for their trustworthiness and so far they are untouched. They have proved that Kerry is capable of lying about entering Cambodia in the most egregious way. In a time of War, then and now; speaking the Truth is all that matters. This little Navy has torpedoed not only the Kerry’s Lies, but a sinking Corrupted Monopoly to boot.
Pray for W and Our Troops
Thanks for the heads up. ;) He signed it, but won’t release the results. How cute.
I’ve been posting the info lots; if we get all hot about it Kerry can simply state that he DID TOO sign the 180, and MSM will back him up, even giving a date, and we’ll look bad.
The question should be, when will you publicly release the information from when you signed the 180 in 2005?
I would not be suprised if Hanoi John did meet with Pol Pot (or one of his emmisarries) while he was in Paris. Kerry probably has a nicely framed autographed photo of Pol Pot in his Senate Office.
The truth is NEVER a smear.
The truth USUALLY makes Demrats shriek.
Perhaps you failed to notice that he's currently engaged in a campaign to retain his senate seat in '08...and "Son of Swiftvet" is, apparently, an oft-recurring nightmare for him.
This is an armed recon mission to scout the political horizon. I'd say he made unidentified contact more quickly than he might have imagined...and it looks like a small boat in drydock being carefully readied for sea by some really pissed-off sailors. One can dream.
"...when customs officials tried to take away his Viagra"
"This portly peddler of hate..."
"...you can’t spell ‘Rush Limbaugh’ without the letters L-I-A-R.”

Nice talk! Liberals just cannot make a point without making criticisms of a personal nature, can they? Or calling names. So typical. Yet they scream bloody murder if it happens to them.
And, in the same conversation this man had the audacity to say: "It is long past time that we end the politics of fear and smear... Duh...maybe it should start with you, Mr. Wade!? He is a great representative of putting forth a clean statement that sticks to the facts, (as they see them, of course- not the real facts) and that is not full of SMEARS!
set Limbaugh straight??? please....
WELL looks like this is curtains for ole RUSHBO
bwahahhaaha
these negative press releases from nobody aides are, after all, how they brought down the FABULOUS ANNIE COULTER AINT they?
BHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAH bwABHAHAHAHAHAAAAAHA
if this gets any funnier ...im gonna have to get safety belts installed on my lounger here...i love this website!
semper fi
Even though this guy is a moron, this statement did raise a chuckle out of me...
I smell a striking writer crossing the picket line for a paycheck...
No way Kerry, or his staff have that much originality or humor.
Effin' moron "spokesmen."
Double-effin' "journalists" who give them a podium.
So Kerry’s spokesman didn’t prove Rush was wrong at all, he didn’t even TRY to do that, he just issued the statement to try to denigrate Rush.
What is politics?
A little boy goes to his dad and asks, “What are Politics?” Dad says “Well son, let me try to explain it this way:
..1. I’m the head of the family, so call me the president
..2. Your mother is the administrator of the money, so we call her the Government.
..3. We’re here to take care of your needs, so we’ll call you the People.
..4. The nanny, we’ll consider her the Working class.
..5. And your baby brother, we’ll call him the future.
“Now think about that and see if it makes sense.”
So, the little boy goes off to bed thinking about what Dad has said.
Later that night, he hears his baby brother crying, so he gets up to check on him. He finds that the baby has severely soiled his diaper So, the little boy goes to his parents room and finds his mother sound asleep. Not wanting to wake her, he goes to the nanny’s room.
Finding the door locked, he looks in the peephole and sees his father in bed with the nanny.
He gives up and goes back to bed.
The next morning, the little boy says to his father, “Dad I think I understand the concept of politics now:
The father says “Good son, tell me in your own words what you think politics is all about”
The little boy replies, “The president is screwing the working class, while the government is sound asleep. The people are being ignored and the Future is in deep shit”.
