VICTORY: Judge Dismisses Entire Sherwood vs. Kerry, “Stolen Honor” Lawsuit
Case Dismissed: Judge Dismisses Entire Sherwood vs. Kerry, “Stolen Honor” Lawsuit
August 4th, 2006 @ 11:00 am

Breaking News: The Democratic Daily has just received word that Sherwood vs. Kerry has been dismissed…

Yesterday, in a true victory against the “Swift Boat Veterans for Truth,” the Federal Court in Philadelphia issued a decision dismissing a defamation case brought by Carlton Sherwood against Senator John Kerry and his Pennsylvania campaign manager Anthony Podesta.



The complaint had alleged that the Democratic National Committee and others sought to prevent Sherwood during the 2004 Presidential Campaign from distributing a movie entitled “Stolen Honor,” which dealt with Sherwood’s views of the Senator’s conduct after his military service during the Vietnam War.

The case was “dismissed with prejudice.” A “dismissed with prejudice” ruling means that Carlton Sherwood can never bring another lawsuit against John Kerry on this topic again.

Last October, I had reported here on the lawsuit:

“Carlton Sherwood and his band of twisted cohorts who defamed John Kerry, are suing John Kerry and a former campaign staffer, claiming that they defamed him.”

The “dismissed with prejudice” ruling is a true victory against Sherwood and his right wing crew of liars and it proves the point that the progressive grassroots was right to stand up to Sinclair Broadcasting in 2004.

Couldn't happen to a more miserable bunch of lying asshats.

Congrats John Kerry and those who see these liars for what they really are.
Thanks to the Judge who ruled with wisdom and fairness.

Great job on the heads-up kerrygoddess!!
