& the DNC & Ohio Dem party gave up too soon & easily in Oct 2004 by withdrawing from advertising here is bashing? I live here, I waited 4 hours to vote in a multi racial precinct where every other voting experience has been 15 minutes.
I disagree with your interpretation of my opinion.

in 2004 was inaccurate. Those who bashed Kerry as a knee-jerk reaction to the Jerusalem Post lie know who they are.

BTW, Kerry's concession was not quick. He conceded the following day.

But to be fair, I learned to check a bit further on a story. That is a good thing.

Appreciate your replies.

and make your case.

Just because the OP linked to the "acceptable" second source (The Daily Beast) instead of the first source (The Jerusalem Post) does not make it ok.

Thanks.

TBH, I don't know much about that source. I tried to google it, but didn't find much regarding it's reputation (which I try to do if I am reading/posting any source that I am unfamiliar with). However, when a DUer questions a source, my ears perk up.

I've heard of TJP but didn't know much about them. But you could tell by the way the story was written that is was suspect.

I thought about alerting on that OP too but figured the exposure to that source might be worthwhile.
People sometimes respond a little prematurely, including me sometimes.

TJP was once an interesting source, but it is pretty right wing - at least on Israel - in recent times. Clearly this was an attempt to hurt Kerry's reputation because of his stands as SOS especially his excellent speech at the end.

I’ve seen obvious falsehoods posted here, and despite responses pointing that out, posters swallow it hook, line, and sinker.

Smh.
