Slander? Please. It wasn't slander to call Mary Cheney a lesbian, and it wasn't slander to call Kerry a slimeball. She is and he is. Slander has to be not true for it to be slander.
Tarkan...just the facts please. Kerry fought for his country and has dedicated his life to civil service, policy and politics aside he's served his country well, and that, in my mind, makes him a good man. You can't actually believe that Kerry being a slimeball is a factual statement? She slandered him, end of story; and it just so happens she's doing it after Bush got spanked in all three of the debates...scare-crow anyone?
Alan Keys and Jim Demint aren't running for President. Furthermore, how do you know they weren't taken behind the tool shed privately? You don't.
So as long as you're not running for President it's ok to slander the Cheney's daughter without worry of a rejoinder from the Repubs? SWEET! Damn dirty dyke!!! C'mon Tarkan, that's having it both ways. Alan Keyes is running for a seat in the Senate on the Republican ticket no less. I think that a Senate postition is worthy of scrutiny...don't you think? And don't even say that just because he hasn't a chance at winning means it's different; we're talking about principals here.
Explain to me why you are upset at Cheney for what you see as trying to score points from a slimeball move from Kerry, but aren't upset at Kerry for the same thing? I mean, explain why apart from your reflexive dislike of all things connected to Bush. Kerry, me thinks, is the big crybaby.
I don't think it was a slimeball move on Kerry's part. Maybe it was stupid or in bad tatse like I've been saying, but it wasn't immoral. It just seems awfully convienant that whenever Kerry and Bush start talking about real issues (the debates) that the Bush team will inevitably short-change the American people by redirecting their attention towards something that has absolutely no relevance to any of the country's problems. They got their butt's whipped when it came time to discuss the issues, now their reverting back to their old tactics of attacking and slandering Kerry. So instead of the American people thinking about the debates and the pertinent issues, they're thinking about Kerry mentioning a lesbian. Thank you Republicans!
Look how his campaign is now complaining about the Sinclair broadcasting group. Was he complaining about Michael Moore and the movie 9-11? Nope. Look how he complained about the Swiftvets for Truth. Was he complaining about MoveOn.Org? Nope. Did Bush try to get MoveOn.Org and 9-11 shut down? Nope. Has Kerry tried to get the Swiftvets shut down? Yep. How about Sinclair? Yep.
We could move this debate to another thread. But I'll say a few things...
The owner of the Sinclair group is forcing his networks to show this movie. It stinks of partisan hackery. He can prove me wrong by accepting Moore's offer of airing F-9/11. Moore's giving him the highest grossing documentary of all time for free. If he's any kind of buisnessman he'd accept.
F-9/11 was in the middle of a Republican effort to stop theaters from showing the movie. But unlike Sinclair no theater was forced to show it, and it wasn't free either.
The Swifties bellittled and dishonored Kerry's service to his country. I think that's worthy of a complaint. And that's besides the fact that their attacks were baseless and fradulent. Everything they said was contradicted by the Naval records, and the statements of Kerry's crew-men.
Moveon.org:
I haven't heard Kerry complain about any anti-Kerry websites.
