Kerry Spokesman David Wade:

In response to Mehlman and Limbuagh's recent mischaracterizations of Sen. Kerry's comments on face the nations: 'Ken Mehlman’s filthy and shameful lie about a decorated combat veteran is disgraceful. Political hack Ken Mehlman and draft dodging, donut eating Rush Limbaugh have something in common. Neither of them know anything about how to make American troops safe. John Kerry will continue to speak out about how to succeed in Iraq and protect brave American troops'...

Got it from Sludge....WHERE was this spokesman last year?! THIS is how to attack the attackers. With a full frontal, truthful assault.

1. Right here

"... there is overwhelming evidence that SBVT is coordinating its expenditures on advertising and other activities designed to influence the presidential election with the Bush-Cheney campaign."

"This Republican front group for Bush is out of credibility after being caught in lie after lie day after day," Kerry campaign spokesman David Wade said.

There are plenty more. CNN didn't repeat them 50,000 times? I'm shocked.

3. My post is not critical, but celebratory

I was honest in asking where Wade was. I want to hear more like this. And, to be totally truthful, the quotations you supplied are nothing like the stuff about eating donuts and dodging the draft.

5. It's what I grabbed first

There were statements like that last year and the year before and this year as well. They didn't get reported, and when they did, they were by and large ignored. #4 has it right, if there is no unified voice, it's like blowing a dandelion in the wind. How can everybody forget Cleland going to Crawford last year and demanding Bush call off the swift boat liars. That was pretty powerful stuff, nobody had hunted down a President like that before, that I can recall.

9. Wade has been with Kerry for a while now...

He is Kerry's Communications Director for his Senate office. During the campaign a Deputy COmmunications Director for the campaign. Wade is frequently hard hitting but as Sandnsea noted the MSM does not always make a point of getting this stuff out there.

4. We need more than just Wade out

there saying this is crap. Where is everyone else? Like to see Dean, other Dems stand up for each other when the lies start to fly - it happens to all of them. We need to maintain an unified front to the stupidity.

7. Here's Cleland at HuffPo

Not the same as Dean, but then Dean is taking his own flak right now.

It would be nice to see Biden (because he such a well-known mouth) and Murtha and a few others come out on this.

10. Touche!

They should all be speaking out. I debunked the lies from the right wing today and made that point here - http://blog.thedemocraticdaily.com/?p=1325

David Sirota also did a great piece slamming Limbaugh and backed up Kerry - http://www.huffingtonpost.com/david-sirota/rush-ass-cyst-limbaugh-_b_11802.html
