Kerry had no probs with the F-bomb, is he waiting to drop the L-bomb?

[Melodybe]

Honestly, all any of the dems have to do is call * out for being what he is, a pathological LIAR!!! Is Kerry waiting until the GE so that it has more impact? I never even heard Dean straight out call * a liar? WTF!?! What are they waiting for?

1. I thought Sharpton called him a liar

12. Sharton's line was better than that

I'm sure you remember it...

Sharpton said (paraphrased) that if Bush wasn't lying, then that was even scarier than if Bush was lying.

2. Proof is my guess.

YOu need something hard to call him a liar and I don't think he has somehting hard enough. It's a very very serious charge.

3. Sharpton and Kucinich called him a liar at the last debate

6. Kucinich too, good for him

4. It's more effective to allow Bush to show himself a liar

when asked for a one-word description of Bush, equal percentages now give negative and positive responses, which marks a dramatic shift since last May when positive descriptions outnumbered negative ones by roughly two-to-one (52%-27%). The most frequently used negative word to describe Bush is "liar,"
-- Pew Research Poll

15. I agree. I don't understand this obsession with demanding that

our candidates call Bush a liar, but it's posted all the time.

Calling Bush a liar looks petty and accomplishes almost nothing, unless you plan to do it on a continual basis; allowing him to prove that he's a liar is much more effective in the long run.

Obviously, people are figuring it out on their own. We need to continue to point out the inconsistencies and that trend will continue.

5. I loved when Kerry dropped the F-bomb.

Summed up Iraq pretty well.

[AngryYoungMan]

7. Okay, I'm stupid

What's the "F-bomb"?

[JohnKleeb]

9. Kerry's RS interview, said bush fucked it up

[AngryYoungMan]

10. Oh, right. Thanks

eom

11. Kerry said the F word in his Rolling Stone interview

He was the first of the democratic candidates to say the F word in a national interview. It is now lovingly referred to as the F-bomb.

13. Politics 101:

Never call an opponent a liar unless everyone thinks so.(Nixon towards the end)

Politics 102: Demonstrate your opponent is a liar with subtle style.
"He said but, he did" as much as possible.

Politics 103: Use surrogates to enable discussion of character flaws.

A recent example: 1) M. Moore calls Bush a deserter.
2) In the debate, Jennings demands Clark dis Moore. Clark pulls the 1st amendment. "Its his opinion and his right to have it".
3) Hoping to diminish Clark,media opens a can of worms with many unwanted results. Debate erupts over it and it plays for many days.
4) Pay off: Story runs way too long, questions are poorly answered. Doubt is created. In the end the foul oder of dishonesty can never be washed out.

Blowhard rhetoric might feel good but it doesn't work.

14. I thought Kennedy and Byrd called him a liar?

[morningglory]

16. Wasn't *shrub's entire 2000 campaign against Gore wrapped around

Gore's lies? Also brown pants or something. Jeezu pete!

[Jackpine Radical]

17. Gore was a "serial exaggerator," not a liar.

Gotta hand it to them Repugnican spinners. "Death tax" is still my favorite for stuffing as much negativity and deception as possible into two syllables.
