John Kerry had seen the tactic before - it emerged on the campaign trail last week - but few others seemed to understand what was going on.-- snip --Young Republicans wearing cheap sandals got in the front row and started clapping them together almost as soon as the Democratic presidential candidate took the stage at Sawyer Point on Tuesday.

Pathetic Kerry Condemns "Rude" GOP Protestors April 7, 2004

Kerry's playbook is so old and he is so dishonest, it can be infuriating. But there's a simple way to listen to liberals without tearing your hair out, and that is this: everything liberals accuse Bush of, is what they do themselves. So when Kerry talks about the politics of lying, he's telling us what Democrats do. He's identifying his own tactics. As an example, consider Kerry's freak-out at a group of protestors waving flip-flop sandals at Kerry's Cincinnati speech.

Oh, the power, my friends! I am paralyzed here with how impressed I am by his retort. Why, what a way to shut them down! Not only calling them "rude" but "very rude!" This is so pathetic!

-- snip --...State Controller Steve Westly, co-chair of Kerry's California campaign, said Kerry was scheduled to return to the state in late June, but "whether he's here that much for the last 90 or 100 days [of the campaign] we'll just have to see..."

...Today, Kerry will appear in El Sereno with Los Angeles City Councilman Antonio Villaraigosa, Rep. Hilda L. Solis of El Monte and other Latinos at an event to celebrate Cinco de Mayo at Wilson High School, where nine of 10 students are Latinos.
The campaign is hoping that news coverage of the event could send a signal to Latinos nationwide that he is not taking them for granted.
Some Kerry supporters have raised doubts over the last week about his attentiveness to the nation's biggest and fastest-growing minority group...
