2. An account from a BU student paper

Kerry talks politics at JFK
By Greg Hellman
Published: Tuesday, March 1, 2005

Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) criticized the media, blasted President George W. Bush's tax and foreign policies and discussed his own presidential ambition in a public discussion with Boston Globe columnist Thomas Oliphant at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library Monday night.

Kerry criticized the mainstream media for contributing to an atmosphere of fear and lies.

"There is something wrong with who is arbitrating the truth," he said. "When fear is dominating the discussion, we have a problem."

3. I see some hater flooded the thread

Saying that Kerry didn't deserve the award for running a "half-hearted campaign" and the infamous IWR vote. He seems to be doing things in a positive light, yet, people here at DU still berate him for it. It's depressing. :nopity:

4. The good thing though is that it was only one bad poster

who ended up saying the Kennedys were just hacks too. I find it hard to believe the poster is even a Democrat.
