Democrats in history - Let's take a look.

Riiiight. Because a returning war hero testifying about Viet Nam is what swung it.

I guess you didn't see the testimony. lol...massive drop in his numbers immediately afterwards. I guess you'd have to have seen it. It was sponsored by the Swift Boat Veterens, but none of them were in it...it was all Kerry. In the context of history, it made him look and sound like a traitor and no one likes that.

Oh, I saw the vid. As for the SBVFT, ever done any research into their funding? It's rather damning.
And most people, even in the US, believe that Viet Nam was a monumental fuck up.

Bullshit, the GOP slandered the hell out of Kerry at every opportunity. Just like they did to one of their own (McCain) in the primaries earlier. Rove slash and burn campaigning.

The Swift Boat Veterans for Truth was a slam dunk from a negative campaign ad perspective. I never seen anything like it.

The Palin thing might be a close second.

Oldie but a goodie... quick to boot.

Personally i think it was a combination of four things that got Bush re-elected.

1. During wartime, the country has always reelected the president.
2. Massive slander campains from the right wing.
3. Only 3 years after 9/11
4. Most people were probush or antibush. That doesn't sway voters TO kerry. Just away from Bush.

The tapes you mention didnt offend me at all, nor should they offend anyone in my opinion.

But then again. What do i know.

And if im thinking of the same video, its the one where they asked him about running for office one day and hes pretty clearly imo smoking weed in the film? I only remember one tape, maybe im thinking of something else.

Actually, the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth didn't have the support of the news media the way the Democrats had when they slandered Sarah Palin.

---------

A group funded by the biggest Republican campaign donor in Texas began running an attack ad Aug. 5 in which former Swift Boat veterans claim Kerry lied to get one of his two decorations for bravery and two of his three purple hearts.

But the veterans who accuse Kerry are contradicted by Kerry's former crewmen, and by Navy records...

And on Aug. 19, Navy records came to light also contradicting the accusers...

Two other citations omit any mention of the killing. One was signed by Admiral John J. Hyland, commander in chief of the Pacific Fleet, and the other was signed by the Secretary of the Navy. Both those citations say Kerry attacked his first set of ambushers and that "this daring and courageous tactic surprised the enemy and succeeded in routing a score of enemy soldiers."..

Democrats did not need to lie about Sarah Palin. All they needed to do was publicize videos of her making a fool of herself.

As for the mainstream news media coverage, you may be right. Also to make it clear, I am not saying what was said was true or untrue. I can care less.

Governor Palin did a fine job of making herself look like an ignorant moron in the press. It's not the media's fault for playing the clips of her rambling on like a half-wit about things she knew nothing about.

For all of her blaming the "liberal media" for all of her problems (persecution complex) she's still right out there gibbering like a three year old to any reporter that will air her.

And the left wingers ate that shit up and are still slandering her. Why is that?

We don't need to slander her. All we need to do is record what she says.

It aint slander if it's true.

You need to look up the definition of slander.

Slander is an untruthful oral (spoken) statement about a person that harms the person's reputation or standing in the community.

It's only slander if it's not true.

 

[Ulaven_Demorte]

Fucker.

If I take what I see on the internet, along with what I see on prime time television as well as the news media, it is slander.

And then there is Joe Biden, the most intelligent vice president in the history of America that can't keep his shit straight, yet you idiots make excuses for him. Why is that?

That sentence doesn't make any sense.

For a start, that would be libel. And how can showing Palin making a fool of herself with her own words possibly be slander or libel?

DailyKOS spin. Rush speaks the truth. Fuckface.

 

[sphy2]

Let Palin speak for herself (set to music)

Let's see, Sarah Palin goes on a news show to answer questions, makes a mistake and the news media runs with it, showing it over and over. SNL does skits showing her to be a bumbling idiot. David Lettermen makes derogatory comments about her. Sarah Palin didn't spend 30 years in the Senate, so she isn't going to be as well versed as some other are.

Now Joe Biden on the other hand, has spent that much time in the Senate, yet he can't keep his shit straight. Now you would think, he deserves equal ridicule, but no, you idiots defend him and make up excuses (maybe because he is becoming senile and feeble, I'm not sure).

 

[Karen Kraft]

For aBLAH BLAH BLAH WHATEVERwords possibly be slander or libel?

See, Sean is one of those faggots who think it was Sarah Palin who said, "I can see Russia from my house!"

He's absolutely sure..... even when sober.

 

[TurdFergeson]

Oh, Karen....you need to get laid and lighten up.

"A" mistake? LMAO.. as if there were only one. SNL? OMG! A sketch comedy show made fun of a VP candidate!! I suppose you haven't seen their Obama/Biden skits? Letterman!? OMG! The voice of liberal America.. Seriously, you're going to have to do better than that.

Who's defending Biden's gaffes? He's well known for them, and ridiculed for them endlessly.

Unfortunately, you lack the capability to see the hypocrisy of that post.

What a waste of protoplasm.

Go look in the mirror.

Biden was touted to be the most knowledgeable man on foreign policy. It's too bad we haven't seen any of that brilliance at work.
