UPI Report: Kerry Web site riddled with curse words
United Press International ^ | June 2, 2004 | Gene J. Koprowski

Actually, this was covered when it happened. The press gave it very little ink...and they bought the lie from a Kerry spokesman that their site had been "hit by a virus" which peppered their discussion forum with foul language.

Not really. Notice the weasel words: "blogs associated with...".

If I'm not mistaken, there were (are?) some instances of foul language on the official web site itself.

Probably. Where there's pond scum, there's bound to be bugs.

Nothing could possibly embarrass the left. Sewer dwellers, all.

I thought it was more like mildew. Slimy, stinky, and can't survive when exposed to light and fresh air.

It seems the dems are simply people who swear alot. It is
a lack of manners and education. If they cannot argue about
the issue, they resort to swearing and nasty personal remarks.
Of course, as mentioned they see their candidate swearing
at people and in magazines, so I expect if he sets such
low standards why shouldn't they?

It is just a lack of having any real information about
the president, so as sheep will do, they follow their leader
and never stop to think.
