Kerry denounces McCain campaign for its 'ugliness'

U.S. Sen. John Kerry denounced John McCain's negative messages on Friday, saying the Arizonan's campaign has turned "ugly" and "desperate."

Kerry, a Boston Democrat, made his remarks in a message distributed to his large email list. Here are the key grafs,

John McCain has shown a stunning failure of leadership. His campaign, in a time of economic crisis and foreign policy drift, has degenerated into a negative and nasty campaign of smears.

The reports are piling up of ugliness at the campaign rallies of John McCain and Sarah Palin. Audience members hurl insults and racial epithets, call out "Kill Him!" and "Off With His Head," and yell "treason" when Senator Obama's name is mentioned. I strongly condemn language like this which can only be described as hate-filled.

Kerry, who faced strong and inaccurate attacks as the 2004 Democratic presidential nominee, notes recent studies that have shown that all of McCain's ads recently have been attack ads and calls on his supporters to retaliate against the attacks by visiting his website www.truthfightsback.com.

Senator Kerry is just so insufferable.

At least he isn’t as crazy as his fellow loser Gore.

John Kerry is a Communist and a traitor to our contry.

He belonged to the terrorist group VVAW. The group that plotted and started training to murder 12 pro-war US Senators. Two members were arrested with a bomb in their cat heading to a speech by VP Agnew.

They collect information on tactics and weapons and gave this information to the Soviets.

Read more on my about me page, I researched all 12,000 pages of the FBI files on Kerry and the VVAW.

"“Kerry, who faced strong and inaccurate attacks as the 2004 Democratic presidential nominee...”" You mean like Kerry's confessions of war crimes?

Here is the email I sent to McCain-—

http://www.johnmccain.com/Contact/

Dear John,
I am concerned that you are being now portrayed as not willing to be tough.

As a retired executive I never asked a subordinate to do something I would not do myself.

You have asked Sarah Palin to appropriately attack Obama for his nefarious relationships.

Now it seems you are backtracking.

That is not the type of executive I want.

Please change course now.

Respectfully,
