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)

Irish Catholic or Czech Jew??? John Kerry claimed both during the 2004 Election

Source: About.com

John Kerry's Jewish Roots Fooled you! And you, and you, and you.

Even the best friends of Senator John Forbes Kerry, a practicing Catholic from Massachusetts (the state which contains America’s largest Irish Catholic population), thought of him as an American Irish Catholic through and through.

The discovery of Kerry’s European Jewish roots has surprised many people, including the senator himself.

Benedikt Kohn (Great-Grandfather)

Benedikt Kohn, the great-grandfather of Senator John Kerry, was born about 1824 in southern Moravia. Benedikt was successful as a master brewer of beer.

In 1868, after the death of his first wife, he moved to Bennisch (today called Horni Benesov) and married Mathilde Frankel Kohn. Benedikt and Mathilde Kohn were two of the only 27 Jews living in Bennisch, which is listed as having a total population of 4,200, in 1880.

Kennedy also had Addison’s Disease and a sex addiction.

I wasn’t endorsing Kennedy (even though he was more conservative than any of today’s republican candidates), I was yearning for a more dignified way of speaking by our leaders.

Well, naturally the letter starts off with a slanderous lie.

I mean, if you want people to take you seriously when you complain about being slanderously lied about, how else should you begin?

John O’Neil was and is an American Hero many times over.

God Bless John O’Neil, the Swiftees, Rush and FreeRepublic.

The only thing I want from Kerry is for him to release the records he promised.

His approval ratings in Mass must be really low. I wonder who is running against him for him to be campaigning this hard this early.

David Wade is another lying weasel in the mold of Howard Wolfson. He denied that the lesser JFK was present in Kansas City when the VVAW voted on whether to assassinate US Senators who supported the Vietnam war. Kerry was indeed there. Although he voted no and resigned his leadership position, he had an absolute obligation to report the conspiracy to the FBI. He did not do that.

All John F’n Kerry has to do to prove Rush wrong is sign his SF 180 and release his military records. We’re still waiting Jean Francois - of course pigs will fly first . . . . . !!

The stuff that happened in Viet Nam was the only thing the Swift Boat vets could offer firsthand testimony about, IIRC. That may be the reason for the emphasis. It seems pretty clear that Kerry’s discharge was other-than-honorable, since his honorable discharge was issued by Carter, long after Kerry’s service ended. But, it’s still speculation, as long as he won’t release his records.

The real stinger at the end was, “...you can’t spell ‘Rush Limbaugh’ without the letters L-I-A-R.”? Is this guy serious?

And, you can’t spell Rush Limbaugh without the letters S-U-M, or G-U-S-H, or L-U-G...wow, I can play this game too!

As far as I know, I thought that the word your citing should be a continuous part of the name?

Like “you can’t spell John Kerry without the letters J-O”, which means something very specific in the crude and layman’s language, but perfectly describes what JOhn Kerry is.

I wonder how many of his ‘followers’ he took with him to Georgetown during that time?
He only returned to the ‘scene’ when he heard Nixon was planning an arrest of the protestors. Guess that stunt didn’t pan out for him either.
