Four years after finding himself the target of a scathing campaign-year book from a conservative author during his own campaign, former Democratic presidential contender John Kerry is launching a Web site to discredit the writer’s latest work, which takes aim at 2008 presumptive Democratic nominee Barack Obama.
The move comes amid news “Obama Nation,” the latest book by author Jerome Corsi, has secured a berth atop New York Times best-seller list. Corsi previously co-wrote “Unfit for Command,” a book highly critical of Kerry’s military record during the Vietnam War.
Kerry’s new Web site, “Truth Fights Back” – which will be funded by the Massachusetts senator’s political action committee — resembles the “Fight the Smears” site Obama’s campaign launched earlier this year, and uses similar methods: a list of responses to existing rumors about the presumptive Democratic nominee, a form to report new attacks, and a request for supporters to add their names to an e-mail listserv that will direct activists on rapid response to future attacks on Obama and other Democratic candidates.

Ah yeah, that’ll work. As if anyone but a true believer would go to a Kerry website in the first place. Does he have a deal with Google on the side to link to his site with any and all “Obama is a Muslin” searches?
The title initially made me think that Obama was attacking Kerry. But no, instead of being entertaining it’s just politics as usual. I can’t think of a reason why Obama would attack Kerry, but it would make for good watching.
A narcissist/liar can’t help himself. Kerry injects the word “truth” into everything he says in public nowadays. What’s pathetic is that he doesn’t understand how desperate he sounds. It’s quite sad, really.
Yeah, but Kerry served in Vietnam so that trumps everything.
What Kerry’s message ? It reads like “Don’t listen to this guy just because he was right about me “.

Are You referring to Ichabod Crane?? The Coward who ran out of Nam after three months of personally inflicting bandaid alleged wounds of which was actual rice kernals stuck in his butt from “his own gernade’s explosion he threw into a pile of rice!
MAY GOD BLESS THE SWIFTIES! THET TOLD THE TRUTH ABOUT LURCH, THE COWARD, TRAITOR, and HANOI’S HANDPICKED WAR HERO!
The words TRUTH & KERRY don’t go together well!
Unless you're John McCain. LOL!
Obama is half white and Kerry is half wit. Sounds like a good ticket.
John “the traitor” Kerry should attend to addressing the “rumors” about his own military service, before taking on Obama’s problems.
Kerry has STILL not signed his SF180 - which would have released his full military and medical records, along with the history of his Discharge Papers....
Kerry is a liar.
Kerry was guilty of slandering our warriors in Vietnam.
Kerry was guilty of committing TREASON in Paris while still a officer in the Navy.
Kerry was guilty of applying for and accepting at least two Purple Hearts he was not entitled to.
Kerry’s 3.5 months in Vietnam was a staged and videoed attempt to make himself the modern JFK hero in Massoftwoshits.
Kerry is a POS and SOB who has a lot of true warrior heroes waiting for him in the afterlife......
If I was Kerry, I would call for a televised apology to all those dead warriors in front of that black wall on the Mall, before he dies...... They may forgive him, I never will.
They had better bury him in a waterproof casket, to resist the barrels of piss headed his way in the future...
He was that way when I met him in college in 1963. He'll be that way until he dies or goes senile. IMHO.

Right. And Kerry is married to an African-American
