Bush Chides Kerry for Iraq Explosives Talk (and he's mean and nasty and mocking...)

I know everyone has heard the hatefilled tone Kerry's been spouting. I'd like to see a reporter characterize his delivery of this proven lie.

This so-called "growing scandal" re: weapons cache is just more Kerry campaign (and media friends) arm-waving. Besides, I think most of America now knows what Lynne has always known: Kerry is not a nice man.

[Question Liberal Authority]

Joe Lockhart, a Kerry campaign spokesman, said that rather than taking the situation seriously, Bush "opted to give a political response and launched yet another negative attack."

Cripes! This is their exact same line from the forged National Guard documents. "Never mind if the charges are true. Answer the question!"

I think we can officially put the explosives story in the Fake But Accurate category.

What happened to the tons of explosives was Jerrold Nadler went to Iraq and got real hungry. He ate them.

[patriciamary]

NO they do not,otherwise this election would be a blow out.

I agree. Any comments Bush makes about Kerry are always characterized as "attacks" or "mocking tones".

Also, this:

Military officials have said a U.S. unit that arrived at the depot in April 2003 on the march to Baghdad never had orders to look for the explosives, and that looting at the large complex was already under way.

The depot WAS searched and I have not seen any reports that "looting at the large complex was already under way". If fact, there is no way that these weapons disappeared as a result of looting. 380 tons of explosives don't get "looted". The fact that the author used that word shows he is trying to perpetuate the NYT's and Kerry's lie.

[Spok]

"For a commander in chief to sidestep these important questions and somehow imply that John Kerry does anything less than fully support our troops is beneath contempt,"

Kerry calls Bush incompetent with a demonstrable lie, and when Bush responds, the Kerry handlers get haughty. The Kerry campaign is self-destructing.

[Swanks]

imply that John Kerry does anything less than fully support our troops is beneath contempt," Lockhart said. That's the raw nerve to continually attack now thru Tuesday....

Kerry winning the battle over coverage, study says (No kidding!)***A new study of campaign reporting concludes that Senator John F. Kerry, buoyed by his performances in the presidential debates, was covered by the media far more favorably than President Bush in recent weeks.

The survey released yesterday by the Washington-based Project for Excellence in Journalism found that 59 percent of the stories that were primarily about Bush from Oct. 1-14 were negative in tone, compared to only 25 percent of the stories about Kerry. And while 34 percent of the Kerry coverage was favorable, a mere 14 percent of the president's coverage put him in a positive light. The survey examined 817 stories from The Washington Post, The New York Times, The Columbus Dispatch, and The Miami Herald; the evening and morning news programs on ABC, CBS, and NBC; PBS's nightly newscast, CNN's ''NewsNight With Aaron Brown;" and the Fox News Channel's ''Special Report With Brit Hume….***

I heard the audio of the President's remarks... and the audio of Kerry's reaction. Kerry sounded like an absolute madman in comparison.

[OldFriend]

The explosives are in Sandy Bergler's pants.

[cyncooper]

Military officials have said a U.S. unit that arrived at the depot in April 2003 on the march to Baghdad never had orders to look for the explosives, and that looting at the large complex was already under way.

Looting was already under way? No, they have reported no signs of looting. None.

But facts schmacts. Get Bush!

[cyncooper]

They actually dragged out the bumptious Ann Lewis today.

The face synonymous with running cover for dem scandals.

Talk about backfire.

[cyncooper]

I'm glad you caught the looting under way lie, too. I posted before seeing your reply.

When cornered they continue to just make it up.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

..... Not a smart move, if you ask me

It was time. Kerry is getting major coverage and it finally was time. Kerry is lying and screaming his lungs out about this and it was time to call him on it.

[ladyinred]

I think most of America now knows what Lynne has always known: Kerry is not a nice man.

It isn't the real American's we have to worry about next Tuesday, it is those phony ones, the dead, the illegal, the three time voters that scare me. Fraud is the rats biggest voting block.

[Wurlitzer]

Kerry has to explain how he is right that these weapons went missing (regardless of time line) and he is also right that there were no WMDs especially since some of the WMDs could be shipped in a suitcase.

Like all dumbocraps he wants it both ways.

Kerry also should have to defend himself against the charge that he once again stabbed the troops in the back for political gain.

Love your tag line. Went to hear Zell Miller speak in Lewiston, Me yesterday. He was wonderful. Among his comments was one about Kerry going on a wild goose chase in his new togs. The crowd loved it.
