WASHINGTON, Sept. 1 /U.S. Newswire/ -- In response to today's outrageous attacks on John Kerry's service by Karl Rove, former Georgia Senator Max Cleland and former Nebraska Senator Bob Kerrey made the following statements
Senator Max Cleland:
"Karl Rove was behind it all, it's part of his smear campaign to tarnish to tarnish the records and service of Vietnam Veterans, and now he's doing it again. I find it interesting that three different people have had to resign from basically the Bush Campaign and their official duties because of this ad, because they are all tied together."
Senator Bob Kerrey:
"If the question is whether or not there is any independence left between the campaign and these swift boat ads, that question has now been answered. Karl Rove has been in enough political campaigns to understand how separate you need to be from these independent efforts and he just ended that separation. If Ginsberg resigned, so should he."
(At link litany of old accusations follow)
Poor, idiot liberals. They're getting their empty skulls kicked around by that wonderful little fat man, Mr. Rove.
Boy, and everybody thought the John Birch Society was nutcase for THEIR conspiracy theories. The whole effin' Democratic Party has gone over the edge. This is incredible!
Meltdown!!!

Here's more from AFP.
... ..."I just think Karl Rove has been in enough political campaigns to understand how separate you need to be from these independent efforts, and he just ended that separation and should resign," Kerrey said in a conference call organized by the Kerry campaign.
"He likes the fact that (the television spots are) on and may in fact have had enough to do with it that he ought to resign and get out of the campaign," Kerrey said.
Cleland added that Rove was "the strategist behind George Bush going after four Vietnam veterans in the last four years."
He said the veterans who were attacked were Senator John McCain during the 2000 Republican presidential primary, Senator Bob Smith of New Hampshire during his failed re-election bid in 2002, Kerry this year and himself two years ago during his failed re-election effort in Georgia.
"Karl Rove was behind it all," Cleland said. "It's part of his smear campaign ... to tarnish the records of service of Vietnam veterans, and now he's doing it again."
Rove's comments to CNN Tuesday were related to Kerry's 1971 testimony before the US Senate, during which he recounted stories of alleged atrocities committed by US servicemen in Vietnam.
Rove said neither his uncle, who fought in Vietnam, nor the men under Kerry's command, "should be so quickly tarnished as being war criminals as Senator Kerry did in his testimony in 1971."
can that be fixed. My records is sooooo clean!
It's the Rat mantra -- Rove is personally responsible for everything in the world they don't like.
Hell, Rove knows everyone in Texas who has two nickels to rub together. Sheer guilt by association, and nothing bothers them more than the fact that O'Neill is from Houston. Never mind that O'Neill loathes Kerry and would cut his heart out if it were legal.
What did Rove do to set these idiots off?
I've noticed that NorthEast dems sneer about Texas, imputing all sorts of nastiness and murky connections. Maybe it predates Michael Moore, but his Texas paranoia reaches classic proportions in "Fahrenheit 9/11". Specifically the Taliban in Texas story.
He breathes.
Ummm .. So did John McCain ..
In fact, McCain is on record saying Kerry's protest days were fair game
They are girliemen, and they should get over themselves.
This isn't a meltdown, it's a full-blown mental collapse.
Here's one for ya. ;-)
HUH, Rove is quiet. Geeeez, these guys are hysterical.
Any chance of getting rid of Ben Nelson anytime soon? It seems really stupid to me to have a D Senator from there.
Dust Jamn!!!!!
That happened under the Clinton Administration
I agree about Texas .. just mentioning that State and the Libs totaly freak out
Wow the reek of desperation is enormous. Even the MSM is gonna have to laugh this one off.
