"For Shame" A leaked video reveals what Bob Dole really thinks about Bush's tactics. By Chris Suellentrop For pretty much the duration of the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth controversy, the Kerry campaign has been trying to demonstrate that the smear campaign being conducted against the Democratic presidential nominee is all the more loathsome because it is part of a pattern of behavior by George W.

The poster is solidly PRO-LIFE so that makes him a troll? I don't get it. Have you forgotten that this is a CONSERVATIVE forum?
Bush made it clear to McCain that the speaker didn't speak for him, and that he (Bush), hadn't liked what the speaker had said about his own father when he was President. Then he ended, telling McCain he didn't appreciate flyers being handed out comparing him to Bill Clinton. When McCain tried to say they weren't his flyers, Bush countered with: "Well, they say Paid for by the McCain Campaign," and flashed the flyer for McCain to see. The audience cracked up over that.
Yeah, at the speaker who accused him of "deserting the vets," not Bush.
The party doesn't want "nuance" when political enemies are to be taken out.
No one has done more to lend establishment respectability to the falsehoods being peddled against Kerry than Dole.
Chris Suellentrop is someone who I never heard of before but I know enough about that person now just from reading that BS article! The charges against Kerry are not falsehoods. If they were then Kerry could easily disprove them, dismiss them, and then move on. He hasn't, he can't, he won't, and he is toast because of it.
