Kerry Hires Joe Lockhart to Combat Swift Boat Veterans
MSNBC 'First Read' Political Insider Memo ^ | 8/20/04 | Liz Wilner

Posted on 08/20/2004 7:41:15 AM PDT by gopwinsin04

The Los Angeles Times notes this morning that he Kerry campaign has hired former Clinton White House Press Secretary Joe Lockhart and Joel Johnson, a lobbyist who worked for President Clinton to help respond to the Swift Boat Veteran's attacks.

Group officials who discuss strategy on condition of anonymity said that the anti-Kerry group plans to hammer the Democrat for his war claims and protests after he left Vietnam, especially his claims that US soldiers committed war crimes.

The group are also arranging local veterans to criticize Kerry when he vists their states.

Aides said Kerry has been flooded with calls from concerned veterans, and a CBS poll released last night showed the senator losing significant support amongst those who served in the armed forces.

Instead of rebutting each charge, Kerry blamed Bush for sanctioning such highly personal attacks, though there is no evidence that the presdients campaign has any direct connections to the anti-Kerry group.

I doubt Lockhardt will be out front, he is really not telegenic at all!

...."What a dipshit."......

Wouldn't it just be total poetic justice, that after he loses the election, big time, that Thereza finally recognizes that she's married to a total lying loser dipshit and throws his ass out on the street, penniless!

Our budget is tight these days, but the time has come...I am going to send a small but very heartfelt donation to these Swift Vets.

God bless them.

I just want to stay home all day in the recliner, eating popcorn, watching all this unfold. Next to OU football, this is the best game going.!!

Can the Dims sink even further, attacking veterans to save Kerry's lies?

Now, is this knife big enough for you to cut my throat with? Perhaps you should check with Bill and Hitlery.

Dang it! I spewed coffee all over my monitor when I read that!

WHy would you hire someone whose whole job is to combat one book if it's all lies?

If Bush did this against "Fahrenheit 9-11" the media would blare "It MUST be true if they're THIS desperate."
