Fox News Reports Bob, not John Kerry Was Vice-Chairman of Intelligence Committee
Fox News

Posted on 08/16/2004 3:23:09 PM PDT by what's up

Fox News just had a news segment where the Kerry campaign, in angry response to Bush claims that Kerry attended few Intelligence briefings, said that Kerry had at one time been the Vice-Chairman of the Intelligence campaign.

In response, the Bush people gleefully (Fox's word) returned fire by saying that it was BOB Kerrey, not JOHN Kerry who was Vice-Chairman of the Intelligence committee.

Kerry has recycled Clintonistas


JEEEEZZZ- I put that on the same level as having my ex-husband chose my lawyer for our divorce proceedings.

I have a wonderful mental image of Kerry in a meeting with the G-8 or somedthing and his staff or himself or his wife coming up with these whoppers.

At least SOME of the media are starting to realize there just might be a carcass to pick over like buzzards. Just hope they time their work correctly.

I see two other freepers found the March press release before I did.

I just found this from the Kerry campaign dated a little over a week ago, 8/6/04 (before the 8/13 reference others have posted). This in response to the Bush/Cheney ad, "Clockwork:

Bush-Cheney Ad Fact-Check: “Clockwork”

excerpt:

John Kerry is an Experienced Leader in the Intelligence Field – John Kerry served on the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence for 6 years and is the former Vice Chairman of the Committee. Kerry joined the Committee in early 1993 and served until early 2001. Among the areas closely investigated by John Kerry and the Intelligence Committee include global terrorism, world wide threats to U.S. national security, international espionage, weapons of mass destruction, drug trafficking, arms trafficking and nuclear security. John Kerry is also the former Chairman of the Subcommittee on Terrorism, Narcotics and International Operations and conducted several high profile Intelligence and International Security investigations. Additionally, Kerry is the author of the 1997 book ‘The New War’ which addressed the challenges of global terrorism and has served on the Foreign Relations Committee for more than eighteen years. One observer of Kerry wrote that, “Kerry plunged himself into the study of international crime an its implications for America.” In fact, the Kerry Commission uncovered the drug smuggling and arms trading in the Oliver North, Iran Contra scandal. “As chairman and then ranking Democrat on the Senate subcommittee on terrorism, narcotics, and international operations, John Kerry has been out front in pushing three presidential administrations to take seriously what is going on in the international underworld.” [Cleveland Plain Dealer, 11/6/96, 7/20/97; Boston Globe 6/28/97; The Guardian, 6/19/96]

These 2 sites show the Vice-Chair to be Jay Rockefeller for '98-'99:

Effin's campaign reminds me of nothing so much as the proverbial "cool kids" in every teeny bopper flick.

Funny you should say this. Just today, one of my Kerry loving co-workers said all the cool people were going to vote for Kerry.

So, he won't release his records? I'm not surprised and I think the commercial the Bush/Cheney team is using could be effectively changed to reflect that fact.

I missed that if it was mentioned during the roundtable and am glad to have the ping, prairie.

Kerry has just proven his lack of management skills. He didn't check his own web site before permitting it to go public and if he did and didn't correct this mistake, he's furthered his image as an opportunist and liar.

If it wasn't so pathetic it would be hilarious. Remember those infamous 18 minutes erased from the Nixon Tapes? You would have thought President Nixon personally ordered the murder of first born son.

Now we have a man running for the same office. There is a deliberate lie on his campaign web site meant to mislead the voters. No one can convince me he was ignorant of what is on the web site. Not when #2 man is a torte whore.

A calculated, deliberate lie to the American Voters. It will disappear the same way the those 18 minutes disappeared, the same way every web page with a lie has disappeared from his web site.

Where is Kerry's Deep Throat?

He's a dem. There is no Deep Throat. My bad. Only a MSM Cheering Section that keeps saying, "Go Johnny, GO!"

I may have missed it. Why does Kerry need to authorize the release? It would seem to me that if he was elected by the voters, he is being paid by the voters.

Now I am really starting to wonder.....is there a DNC mole on the Kerry staff? Someone whose job it is to call attention to Kerry's lies?

It's gone. They have yanked the claim that Senator Kerry was Vice Chair of the Intel Committee. It is no longer on their web site.

They have admitted their guilt.


THIS is why we needed to capture screen shots! Good work, FReepers!

I'm willing to bet the campaign took HIS word for what he had served on and in what capacity.

We know he's appropriated others' actions for his own before, after all.

And the LSM continues to ignore that he is insane.

Just like Douglas Brinkley; he used Kerry as his main source for that book; I wish I had kept a count of how many times he's had to "clarify" things that were in the book or weren't included.

It's a wonder that anybody believes him when he says a damn thing...but they'll go on doing it.

Beam me up!

"Fox will probably report it, which for liberals proves their bias; Fox rejects the silent compact by which journalists tacitly agree to minimize or ignore Democratic gaffes."

Yup. No comment from the Press Princes when Kerry said in his acceptance ramble that he would fight against "hair pollution!"
