Kerry Kicks Kyle's A$$

I'm watching MSGOP and I've watched Kerry call McBush's camapaign UNTRUTHFUL. He's pointed out that that Britney Spears and Paris Hilton have nothing to do with healthcare or with oil prices.

He got Kyle to agree.

I'm filling in as I can but I wanted to get this out there!

(I'm sorry I'm not a fast transcriptionist so I'll type as I can.)

John Kerry said that McCain admitted that the surge was not successful.

Each time Kyle tried to lie, Kerry has the facts.

The other thing spoken about was the oil and drilling. He's not listing all the matters McBush's judgement is wrong.

Great comments at the link. I hope there is video of this.

[glowing]

1. AND it was 2 against 1 with Gregory shilling for GOP as well..

with his "unsubstantiated reports" regarding the facts about the drill, drill, drill.. sell off more of our public lands to private companies...

[ray of light]

19. The jerk had the nerve to interrupt at a key point!

[Ilsa]

2. Kerry wouldn't allow Kyl to get his lies out there again!

It was wonderful to see. I think Kerry fights hardest when he is defending his friends.

[matt819]

3. Can everyone agree to use the correct terminology

They are not untruths.

They are not untruthful statements.

They are not misstatements.

They are lies.

Call them lies.

Call McCain and his surrogates liars.

Can we all please stop dancing around this?

4. saw it live.....very sweet to see Kerry so animated

really nailed him on the britney ad, and Kyl could NOT defend the use of the commercial, instead going through a litany of campaign policy talking points, while ignoring his initial defense of using those two stars in the first place

hahahahahhahaaaaaaaa

[ecstatic]

5. He did a great job! nt

[Connie_Corleone]

6. He's a great surrogate for Obama.

He's not going to let the republicans swiftboat Obama.

[polichick]

7. Maybe Kerry needs another chance to be a candidate - our veep attack dog.

[grillo7]

14. I was against this at first, but I think he would be a good VP choice now n/t

[my3boyz]

8. Kerry knows Obama is about to be swiftboated and he was to prevent it. nt

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

9. Kerry handled himself like a cross-examining prosecutor with a lying witness

I loved the way he made Kyl admit that the Britney Spears and Paris Hilton attack on Obama was without substance.

[mloutre]

10. Even better, JK's scheduled to be on Meet The Press vs. Joe LIEberman this Sunday

And that is gonna be some seriously juicy teevee to see, I betcha.

JK can't friggin *stand* Joe Lieberman.

And if he's in the feisty mood then that he was in when he smacked Kyl down tonight, it'll be a real bell-ringer, I tell you what!

[Starry Messenger]

11. I hope someone posts a video link today

Watching Kerry turn someone into a mop and vigorously scrub them across a floor is one of my joys.

26. That was awesome!

[beachmom]

30. That was unbelievably AWESOME. This needs to go viral.

I mean it is a total smackdown of the Britney Spears ad. That a GOPer ADMITS it's about nothing; it has NOTHING to do with what is affecting Americans.

I think John Kerry is a little pissed off about all of this. Like, oh, gee John (McCain) -- how can you be so shameless, steeping to Bush lows.

[ray of light]

35. PERFECT commercial!

[democrattotheend]

13. If Kerry had fought as hard for himself as he's fought for Obama

I betcha he'd be president right now.

[Mass]

15. If other dems had fought as hard for Kerry than he does for Obama, he would be president.

Aside from Clark and Cleland, the other dems were basically absent (or worst agreeing with the GOP memes).

[Alexander]

16. Agreed. Kerry got screwed by the DLC and election stealing.

[polichick]

21. Yep, still breaks my heart to think of it.

[YvonneCa]

39. Mine, too. n/t

[WildEyedLiberal]

17. *Exactly*.

The candidate is out making stump speeches and campaigning; it's up to his surrogates to have his back on TV talking head shows and in the press. I seem to remember not a few key Dems who made cracks about Kerry - *publicly* - during the campaign, or who offered a lukewarm "well he's better than Bush certainly, BUT he certainly not inspiring..." style "endorsement," or who actively thought the war was not a bad idea (*cough cough, a certain former president, cough cough*).

Kerry had a couple of loyal attack dog surrogates and whole bunch of finger-in-the-wind backstabbers. Fortunately for Obama, overt Democratic sabotage has had a very negligible effect on his post-primary campaign.

[beachmom]

20. Let's not forget the "handwringers" Carville and Begala on cable

every day second guessing Kerry. Definitely not helpful.

[globalvillage]

18. You said it, Mass.

Sen. Kerry and Sen. Obama both learned from 2004. Question is, did the rest of the Dems? There are some good surrogates (Claire McCaskill is one of the best), but we need more of them to start hitting McCain on his nasty smears and lies.

Maybe if Reid would stop kissing Pickens' sorry ass, he could lend a hand.

[ray of light]

38. good point! n/t

[polichick]

22. Keeping the field clear for Clinton in 08 is what it looked like back then.

[WildEyedLiberal]

25. You nailed it

Who failed Kerry?

McAuliffe, who did not give two wet farts about securing the vote or coordinating any kind of protection against election fraud - which, after the fiasco of 2000, is UNFORGIVABLE.

James Carville, who tipped off his wife, who just happens to be Dick Cheney's bosom buddy, the NIGHT OF THE ELECTION that Kerry was planning to contest the Ohio results. Cheney called in the cavalry (Blackwell) and that was all she wrote.

Not to mention "liberal" pundits like Begala et al, who could only go on and on about what a lackluster candidate Kerry was on every talking head show.

What do these people have in common?

They wasted NO time in declaring themselves eager partisans for Hillary 08, long before Hillary formally announced she planned to run. And by long before, I mean immediately after they'd ensured that Kerry lost the 2004 election - I remember hearing Carville salivate over a Hillary 08 run in DECEMBER 2004.

THAT is the overwhelming #1 reason I could not and did not support Clinton in the primary. How many people had to die - how many lives ruined - all so Hillary and the Clinton machine who run the party could have another moment in the sun? They deprived the country of what could have been one of its best presidents of all time, and that I can never forget nor forgive.

[Whisp]

37. it just makes my stomach churn when I think of that all over again.

fucking traitors.

[politicasista]

41. "McAuliffe, who did not give two wet farts"

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:


:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :hi:

[blm]

42. Well, Carville DID have a war criminal WIFE to protect from an open government WH that

Kerry would have led.

And NO Bush or Clinton loyalist wanted BCCI documents made public.

[chill_wind]

32. And it still makes me sick, too. n/t

[blm]

27. He WAS fighting - what were the best known Dems doing back then? Oh yeah - siding WITH Bush

and defending him on TV - especially the last Dem president who spent his entire 2004 book tour not only supporting Bush's decisions on terrorism and Iraq war, but defendiong those decisions from the 'criticisms of the left' while Kerry was the lead critic at the time.

Do you even GET what you are actually complaining about? That Kerry didn't HAVE a Kerry. The nominee can't show up on every program - he has to have a seasoned, competent front line.

[beachmom]

33. Yep. And now we have Kyl on tape saying Britney has nothing to do

with this election. That the ad was frivolous.

[Cha]

24. Yay, Kerry!

Thank you, Senator for setting the record straight from the liars.

[chill_wind]

28. Loved Kerry today. But did I actually hear Kyl say McCain had commanded troops?

He tried to make him sound like General Eisenhower. It's like whack-a-mole. You squash one lie or misleading ststement with these pubs and a they crop up with six more as a last word, that they know won't get rebutted, because the time's up.

[Muttocracy]

29. yep, as though he was heading the war. nt

[beachmom]

31. Notice how Kerry smartly steered back to the topic at hand though.

Sort of -- okay, let that one go. Now in for the kill.

[chill_wind]

34. Yes, but if I had to rate the importance of killing one meme

over the other (stupid Britney Spears ad), I'd kill that latter one DEAD every chance I got.

Not overly-faulting Kerry, but the latter myth (the military leadership and valor of John McCain, "troop commander") is more lethal and enduring. Ininformed voters believe that Crap! We have past as prologue.

Someone needs the courage to confront head on what McCain is and ISN"T, or we could have a slim but real chance to see a reincarnation of (albeit awol) Bush in a cod-piece. The facts about Bush just didn't matter, once the myths and image perceptions became entrenched.

[blm]

43. How many fellow troops were KILLED cuz of McCain's incompetence before he was captured and how many

troops were SAVED and protected by Kerry's competent and heroic leadership in Vietnam?

McCain was a bigtime fuckup who got others killed needlessly before he was captured.

[Egnever]

36. Wow Go John!

brilliant performance. Too bad it was wasted on Gregory's show.

[politicasista]

40. K&R

Go Kerry!! Go Obama!! :kick:
