It's sad when Dean/Edwards people get so desperate they root for a scandal

[59millionmorons]

First they lower themselves to believing Drudge. Then when Kerry denies it, people dissect his words saying he didn't say this or he didn't say that or he was coughing so he's got to be lying is a sign of deep desperation.

1. I think it's funny

[Ninga]

15. OK People, let's knock this off.

If you start with the fact that THERE ARE NO VIRGINS, anywhere, in any political camp, then you will start to be honest.

The spoils go to the guy who can pull it off, skate through the maze taking what ever help he/she can.

Don't lie, we all do it.

Every political camp this season has had someone somewhere pull tricks against the opposition.

Attacks can make you weaker, attacks can make you stronger.

[Cheswick2.0]

21. yup, nothing like a bimbo erruption to amuse us all

that's the ultimate in missing Clinton I guess.

[liberalnurse]

50. There is no evidence the other candidates have

gone to Drudge. Please review your post.

2. This thread will prolly be locked but god bless you...

And Edwards and Clark were my favorite candidates.....

[NNN0LHI]

3. We don't know if they are Dean/Edwards people on an anonymous board

Could be anyone.

13. An avatar proves nothing. Think about it for a moment n/t

[bitchkitty]

4. I feel for you -

it was very upsetting to see 50 million anti-Dean threads every time I logged in. I know exactly what you're going through. My advice is to take a Valium if you have one, or smoke a joint, then go watch cartoons for a while.

[Cuban_Liberal]

6. No one is 'rooting' for it.

We would, hoever, like a clear, unequivocal and non-nuanced. denial. I do not intend to spend the next 8 1/2 months defending a candidate against "Clinton's Cock: The Sequel".

[molly]

8. He has denied it

[Cuban_Liberal]

11. No, he didn't.

He issued yet another highly-nuanced Kerry-ism.

[molly]

16. What would you like him to do?

[Cuban_Liberal]

19. How about issue a categorical denial, in plain English? n/t

[molly]

24. He did

[Cuban_Liberal]

26. No, he did not. n/t

[robsul82]

31. Um...

"There's nothing to this, heh heh heh..." is not a categorial denial. "That's a damn lie!" is a categorial denial. Period.

7. Sorry about being worried who the Democratic Nominee is

Dean and Edwards people didn't manufacture this Kerry scandal. But now that it's possibly here, you expect people to just ignore it? Look, I've defended Kerry for the last 5 weeks against dozens of ridiculous attacks. But when something this shocking comes up, I'm not about to sit back and deny it isn't a big deal.

First off, if there's nothing to it then where is the intern in question and why hasn't she gone on the record denying it?

Second off, if there's nothing to it then why are the parents of the intern now calling Kerry a "sleazebag."

And if there's nothing to it, why did Kerry give such a, well, boring answer to a very serious question? I've come to enjoy John's aggressive liberalism, but this wasn't his finest hour.

[molly]

10. It's a boring subject to him

[59millionmorons]

20. Oh I get it

Now Kerry has to go around denying every none story. Okay I get it. So when someone claims Edwards kicked there dog you want Edwards to respond to it. GOOD GRIEF

[ShaneGR]

42. A sex scandal with an intern is not a "non-story"

And for the record that's a lie, Senator Edwards has protected the rights of animals his entire life and anyone who would suggest otherwise is either delusional or flat-out making stuff up.


See, that wasn't so hard eh? :-)

[Cheswick2.0]

12. demdem, this is all part of the primary process.

It is good to get this all out in the open. This is what I was told by Kerry supporters several months ago. We must test the candidates or they can't hope to run against the bush machine. It's all good demdem.

[Atlant]

35. Karma is an amazing force! (NT)

[59millionmorons]

41. 100% agree

It's the excitement, that ah ha now my candidate has a chance is silly to me. You now have people dissecting his apology.

[dsc]

14. I would be willing to bet

that if I look back I will see some of the very same people knashing their teeth over the use of Drudge as a source now, praising it when it was done to Dean.

[Cuban_Liberal]

17. You are correct. n/t

25. Too bad he DIDN'T 'flatly deny it', huh? n/t

[59millionmorons]

43. EXACTLY

Now I'm going to work.

[CWebster]

22. You mean like ....Dean's "anger"?

the big red "A" they hung on Dean to make him unelictible?

That was child's play by comparison....

You'll get no river of tears from me.

[meegbear]

34. The media hung the big red "A"

which proves the point ... if the media can make a fuss about it, but Dean is still an electable candidate in the race, then the same holds here.

[CWebster]

49. not quite.

Wishful thinking?

Dean was painted as "angry"-- and how fucking ludicrus is that? Anger is the incentive behind ABB for crissakes. That is all they could trip Dean up with--there is no sleeze.

[Renew Deal]

23. Kerry was great this morning

and fully believable. It's good to know we have that scumbag Imus on our side.

[Cheswick2.0]

27. I though he was weak

I thought he was weak and he did that giggly nervous cough thing.

[molly]

29. I didn't hear a giggly nervous cough

[seventhson]

40. I sure did

hear nervous laughter and coughing

[59millionmorons]

47. you heard what you wanted to hear

The guy has given 5 speeches a day for the last 60 days on occassion barely being able to speak. You may think he would have a bit of a cough.

[molly]

28. Imus grilled him - Kerry responded well

it's time for this to die a sudden death!

[robsul82]

Grilled him? Hahahaha...

Oh geez. Oh yeah, Kerry should check his ass for griddle marks, hahahahaha!

Later.

[seventhson]

46. Imus was delicate

and totally supportive of his bs answer.

Kerry did NOT deny the story.

He said there WAS no story.

and THAT is a blatant lie, because...

there IS a story.

One of Imus guys said something about Imus seeing the Easter Bunny running across the studio when Imus said he believed Kerry

[Cheswick2.0]

45. did you hear the other guy in the studio?

afterwards he said he had not doubt Kerry was lying.

Molly, Kerry needs to get out of the race if he can't take it.

[Renew Deal]

51. Who said he was lying?

The said he was telling the truth and he tells the truth.

30. I'm not a Dean / Edwards person

And I'm worried about this. My fate, the fate of the party and the nation, likely rests with the ability of the presumptive nominee to attain the White House. You'll have to forgive me if my concern supercedes partisanship for your candidate.

[seventhson]

32. Kerry is just that bad

that those who are from the democratic wing of the democratic party SINCERELY want him out of this race.

[molly]

36. Too funny!

39. Well, they are certainly giving it their best effort.

[DemNoir]

37. I agree!

During this entire primary season the display put on at DU has been sickening.This however, may be the lowest point of all.

[seventhson]

48. But if it is true

it is Kerry's fault.

I blame Clinton for Bush's Selection

[DemocratSinceBirth]

53. Lenin Nailed People Who Engage In This Behavior

He called them "useful idiots"

Lenin was referring to well intentioned democrat leftists in the west who were unwittingly doing the bidding of the Soviet Union...


Well, we have unwitting leftists who are unwittingly doing the bidding of the Republican National Committee...

[goodhue]

52. yes its pathetic

very sad
