Kerry 1, Limbaugh 0

Posted November 10th, 2007 at 9:30 am

<...>

Consider yesterday, for example. Rush Limbaugh defended the Swiftboat liars, insisting that their bogus smear withstood scrutiny.

<...>

Media Matters does a nice job detailing some of the painfully obvious lies the hatchet men told, and the multiple instances in which their lies were “disproven,” but for real entertainment, consider the official response from John Kerry’s Senate office.

Kerry spokesman David Wade issued the following statement today in response to Rush Limbaugh, who said on his radio show that Kerry’s Swift Boat attackers in 2004, “were right on the money and nobody has disproven anything they claimed in any of their ads, statements, written commentaries, or anything of the sort.”

“At first I thought, that’s not Rush, that’s just the OxyContin talking. Nonetheless, this is a despicable but unsurprising new lie from a man whose closest brush with combat came when customs officials tried to take away his Viagra.”

Damn. Note to Dems: The more you respond to right-wing smear with statements like these, the less you’ll be smeared.

1. I think Kerry will prove to be a stalwart brick wall to the GOP Slime Machine.

2. Ooooh, *snap*! That last bit about the Viagra is a thing of rare beauty:
"...a man whose closest brush with combat came when customs officials tried to take away his Viagra."


Excellent snark! :thumbsup:

6. Watch and learn, Democrats

7. This is right
Edited on Sat Nov-10-07 03:57 PM by Turbineguy
why pussyfoot around? Rush Limbaugh is a piece of shit. We should call him a piece of shit. That's it.

Headline I'd like to see: "Piece of shit Rush Limbaugh found dead, face down in gutter."

9. How Long Before The DU Wuss Contingent Shows Up Here....
....criticizing Senator Kerry's failure to meekly put up with Limpball's filthy comments, and "not get down on his level"?

We need more and more and more of these take-no-prisoners responses. The right wing talk machine brought us to this low point of public discourse; it's up to us to engage them, humiliate them to the point of impotency, and then start bringing things back up to a civilized level. God bless Senator Kerry and his staff.

10. I have never believed that we should be so "PC" when it
comes to politics.

Politics is a blood sport, and we should have an instantaneous response to each and every lie that the RW puts out there.

The R's have been doing it for years, why should we lay down and accept the kicking?

When Bob Kerrey thought of running, Limbaugh was almost immediate in calling calling Kerrey a liar and coward. He even alluded that the Medal of Honor he received was tainted, and that his amputated leg was something that Kerrey was, "going to take advantage of".

Right, like Limbaugh never took advantage of his anal cyst to get out of serving.

These people fold whenever confronted...Limbaugh, Hannity, O'Reilly, Coulter...all of them fold like lawn chairs when they are called out for their lies. They yell a lot, but they are shown to be little more than screech monkeys, and we allow them to continue on with their distortions, why...becaue we are the 'nice guys"?

Tera 'em up w/their own lies, obfuscations and spin. They can't handle the truth.

FWIW...any coward like Limbaugh should have died long ago simply from crapping his pants on a 24 hour basis. Who'd have thought there was that much crap stuffed into that windbag.

Rush said, and then denied he said.

20. And every reich winger came to his defense and...
refused to acknowledge that the tapes were doctored to make Rush appear innocent.
