Kerry Plants Phony Hecklers to Look Tough!
Rush Limbaugh ^ | Feb. 6, 2004 | Ruch Limbaugh

Posted on 02/06/2004 10:40:17 PM PST by FairOpinion

AP's Ron Fournier reported that a Portland heckler yelled out to John Kerry, "Why don't you tell them about your vote on the war and the Patriot Act?" The senator is said to have "swiftly responded." He's quoted as saying, "I'll explain them all as we go along. I never run away from anything, especially George Bush."

A great comeback – or is it? The American Prowler: "John Kerry's campaign is planting volunteers at his appearances in order to make him appear tougher. At a rally yesterday at which he accepted the endorsement of Maine Gov. John Baldacci, Kerry faced down a heckler in the Portland audience... The candidate seemed to be quick on his feet in the response, and his retort garnered applause. Perhaps his quick thinking was the result of knowing the jibe was coming."

This information comes from "a Kerry campaign source," folks. Reports the Prowler, "[T]he campaign has been looking to plant local volunteers in crowds to mix it up, and to make it appear their man is facing down tough questioning. 'This kind of confrontation pushes him up the line in news coverage,' says the staffer. 'Instead of facing a tough question from a reporter, the news guys have this seeming give and take to report on.'" Can you believe this?

When it comes to politics, don't take anything at face value. Especially when it concerns a botoxed-face like Kerry's.

If true, this has to be proven! It would be humiliating!

(where oh where are the Deaniacs?)

With all the video around these events and with the embed reporters, we could probably find repeate offenders.

demonrats are the party of pretenders (hence, why so many actors are demonrats). To paraphrase George Bernard Shaw: "He who can, does; he who can't, acts and is a demonrat".

Nor would I, after his staged "reunion" with a fellow vet whose life he supposedly saved. Never trust a Democrat to be genuine. It's all "fake it 'til you make it", and arranging little rocks in the shape of a cross on the beach.

"If true, this has to be proven!"

Like the AWOL charges against GWB?

Can you believe this?

With no effort whatsoever, I assure you.

What I don't believe, however, is that the liberal media will actually cover the damning revelation in question.
