11/09/2007 Kerry Spokesman Sets Limbaugh Straight on Swiftboat Smears
WASHINGTON D.C. – Kerry spokesman David Wade issued the following statement today in response to Rush Limbaugh, who said on his radio show that Kerry’s Swift Boat attackers in 2004, “were right on the money and nobody has disproven anything they claimed in any of their ads, statements, written commentaries, or anything of the sort.”
“At first I thought, that’s not Rush, that’s just the OxyContin talking. Nonetheless, this is a despicable but unsurprising new lie from a man whose closest brush with combat came when customs officials tried to take away his Viagra. This portly peddler of hate is once again wrong on the facts. John Kerry served his country with honor in Vietnam, and has fought for his fellow veterans ever since. The lies and smears of the Swift Boat Veterans for Bush were disproved conclusively in 2004 by the men who fought by John Kerry’s side in Vietnam, by the military’s own records, by investigative journalists, and by the incredible contradictions that exposed these right wing smear artists. It is long past time that we end the politics of fear and smear that we have seen used against decorated veterans from John McCain to Max Cleland and John Kerry. Rush Limbaugh’s ignorance and determination to divide Americans is just another reminder that you can’t spell ‘Rush Limbaugh’ without the letters L-I-A-R.”
The watchdog group Media Matters has provided an excellent fact check of the Limbaugh smear, proving once again that when it comes to slandering veterans, the right wing is wrong. The fact check can be found at: (http://mediamatters.org/items/200711090008?f=h_latest)
OOHHH-—truth hurts and hurts forever doesn’t it ketchup boy.
Thanks Rushbo.
Still waiting "Hanoi" John!
..and that smattering from mediasmatters -- oh how will Rush survive.
Benedict Arnold was a hero to both sides in the same war, too!
BRAVO! You said it, Brother!
An ad hominem rebuttal at it’s worst. It provides no factual substance whatsoever. But then what else would you expect from Kerry?
His last campaign iirc was based on the Boston Globe insisting that he was running unopposed (his opponent got 20% of the vote, not too bad for someone who does not exist, um, is unperson).
The mediamatters article can only dig up four or five instances where there may be inconsistencies in various statements, not too impressive.
What would be very impressive is for Kerry to release an x-ray of his leg showing the shrapnel he claims sets off airport metal detectors all the time.
Hepl us jon, we is to dumb to knoz thee truht abit yuz
Must be over the target to be getting such flak.
Dear J F’n K et al:
Fry me a lizzard.......
Waaaaaaaaaaammmmmmmmbulance. Calling the Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaambulance.
Didn't you hear? Kerry was sent there in 1968 by President Nixon -- and he wasn't even President then!
After that 2nd photo was created, two more of those guys decided to support Kerry.
The updated (and correct) photo is available here...

+1 to that.
The main thing is this: There is no such person as President John F. Kerry.
So we won!
Rush will have a field day with this.
The cowards are whining again.
“The watchdog group Media Matters has provided an excellent fact check of the Limbaugh smear..”
“media matters fact checkers”, an oxymoron on oxicontin
The congressional record contained a St. Patrick’s Day statement from John O’Kerry proudly proclaiming his Irish heritage. When he was called on it during the campaign, it was said that a member of his staff had entered that falsehood into the Congressional Record on John Kerry’s behalf and did not relate to any actual statements by JFK.
They are representative of they backroom plotters in the DNC. Professionalism went out the window years ago.
