Kerry hits back at Mary Cheney over 'son of a bitch' comments

RAW STORY
Published: Wednesday May 10, 2006

In response to an article Wednesday in which Vice President Dick Cheney's lesbian daughter is quoted as calling Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) a "son of a bitch" for mentioning her sexuality in the presidential debates, Kerry's office fired off this retort to RAW STORY.

Kerry spokesman David Wade said Mary Cheney had "flacked for the most anti-gay administration in history."

“Seems like a suspicious lecture from a political operative who flacked for the most anti-gay administration in history and allowed Karl Rove to divide America for political gain," Wade said. "She’d be more credible if she pushed dad’s administration to support hate crimes legislation and equal rights for gay Americans.”

1. touche

2. Good for Kerry

Mary Cheney's comments show she is a lowlife who won't stand up for herself or stand as a role model for others. I'm glad Kerry slapped her down for her classless comments.

[ginnyinWI]

26. and I'm glad he used David Wade to do it.

She does not deserve the respect of getting a personal answer from Kerry himself.

Why now? Has she got a book out or something? edit: nevermind--I see she does.

[karynnj]

35. Good point - and Wade's comments are always great

It will be interesting to see if she covers what she did in their slimy campaign.

Her mother was involved in that idiotic "Kerry is orange" garbage before the first debate - in spite of the Kerry blogs' pictures from WI looked just like he always looked. I wonder if Mary was involved in the metrosexual nonsense or the ridiculous repetition of the label for the very happily married Edwards as "Breck Girl". The latent homosexual smearing of 2 very obviously masculine men was pretty strange.

[AngryAmish]

She is scum - destroy her John

crush her
crush her
crush her

[chelsea0011]

3. Amen! Say it loud. She is in the pot with a hate group and could care less

[CatWoman]

4. my one true regret in all this

is that Kerry didn't respond this quickly to Rove and the Swiftboat liars.

[rox63]

At least he has learned from past mistakes n/t

[libhill]

25. We can only hope -

n/t

[NJ_Lib]

18. Hard lesson learned but

... I think Kerry too regrets this... Kind of like the passangers on the three 911 flights who thought if they would just sit still and be quiet, all will pass... We've all learned our lessons the hard way...

[IronLionZion]

48. Kerry has learned a shitload from 2004

including the fact that cautious guys finish last, aggressive guys win.

and election fraud sucks.

[rox63]

5. Go, Big John!

:kick:

[babylonsister]

6. Lovely smackdown, Mr. Wade, and so well deserved!

:applause: :applause: :applause:

[hippiechick]

7. If I were him I'd have to resist the temptation to say:

"... And Mary Cheney would know a bitch for a mother when she sees one."


:rofl:

[MadMaddie]

22. Bwa...haw..haw...that's rich!!!

:rofl:

[karynnj]

32. Kerry actually could have added a loving tribute

to his mother, who was by all accounts a kind, generous woman, not at all what Mary Cheney said.

This really is a good response. That Rove has traditionally used whisper campaigns to call non-gay people gay is certainly worse, than saying a known, proudly lesbian woman is gay.

[bunkerbuster1]

8. "Mary, the campaign's over.

You can stop pretending to be outraged."

That's what David Wade probably should've said.

[loveable liberal]

9. Maybe cut her some slack.

It probably wasnt easy for her growing up knowing her dad thinks she's a freak of nature.

[WildEyedLiberal]

51. She willingly whores for a political party that hates her

I have absolutely NO sympathy for her.

Alan Keyes' daughter is a lesbian and he KICKED HER OUT OF THE HOUSE. She, however, has pride and self-respect, and she now speaks out for the rights of LGBT like herself, and speaks candidly about the pain of being rejected by your parents for your sexual orientation.

If you want to admire the lesbian daughter of a rabid RW Repuke, look no further than Maya Keyes. Mary Cheney is just a disgusting hypocritical whore.

[ceile]

10. Very true.

That woman has no credibility. She's in an amazing position to affect her father's positions, but she does nothing.

[NJ_Lib]

11. Good for you Mr. Kerry... You should have also...

... reminded Mary exactly who it was that fought in combat for her right to be gay... No one she knows, that's for sure... She should be thanking John Kerry...

[wryter2000]

12. Well done!

If only he'd done this to the Smearboat Veterans.

[demdiva]

53. It'll never happen again

[durrrty libby]

13. Too bad she can’t see what a foolish tool she looked like

in that interview.

I hope her book goes directly to the discount bin.

[Catherine Vincent]

14. I would have rathered he call her a worser name than "flacker"

But Kerry does have class and Mary Lesbo doesn't.

[Stanchetalarooni]

15. There is an inheritance to consider.

Wouldn't want to alienate the hand that signs the will.

[Sparkman]

16. Self-loathing is not heterosexual, bisexual or homosexual. Pity Mary.

[AX10]

17. Mary Cheney is anti-gay.

[NJ_Lib]

23. I was thinking the same thing... I bet she isn't even gay...

... It's just to show how "tolerant" the right is of all people... Why should I believe anything a Cheney tell me?

[Bluebear]

19. Bravo, David Wade. Bravo. nt

[MadHound]

20. OWWW! That's going to leave a mark

:evilgrin:

[ProSense]

21. Take that!

Flack gets flogged!

[jean]

24. Well done! Now, please supply us with a one or two-liner to use in our

internet and real life travels.

[jillan]

27. The person Mary should be calling an SOB is her dad, not Kerry

Kerry stood up for Mary Cheney's rights.

Her dad didn't.

Bravo Kerry!

[me b zola]

31. Exactly! n/t

[saltpoint]

28. Excellent response. Right on the money. /nt

[WiseButAngrySara]

29. What does Mary think about Rove's spreading rumors about Ann

Richards being lesbian? It lost her the Texas Gubernatorial election to B*it. How can she tolerate such hideous hypocrisies, without being one herself? Who cares what she has to say! Her turn? When hell freezes over! Ugly, evil woman whose parents are certainly to be blamed.

[wicket]

30. GOOD!

She's such a hypocrite!

[tomreedtoon]

33. But, of course, Kerry didn't say it himself...more timidity.

This timidity cost him the election before...and it looks like he wants the chance to wimp out and lose it again in 2008.

[Inuca]

34. What nonsense! n/t

[Tulum_Moon]

36. Kerry bitch slaps Mary

Wow that doesn't sound so great. But It Is!!!!!:rofl:

[karynnj]

37. Not really, she doesn't merit a response from the Senator

Wade's response is excellent. The same thing could sound defensive from Kerry. Her remarks to a very real degree exhonerate Kerry (and Edwards), they point out that ahe was out and that he said nothing negative. Now, seeing that she was part of a campaign that routinely said negative things that were lies about both of these men, she's the one who did something wrong.

[SeveneightyWhoa]

38. Whuut?

Why should Kerry personally respond to this pathetic douchebagesse?

[rox63]

39. His spokesperson said it

And he speaks for Kerry and his office.

[stepnw1f]

40. A Decorated War Vet is a Wimp

OKAY big guy...

[saltpoint]

41. Such bullshit. Mary Cheney fired the shot and Kerry's people handled

the response perfectly.

[robbedvoter]

42. No dear, Diebold did. Pass it on.

[MH1]

43. Oh bullshit.

It's amazing how smear-merchants will twist any event into a shot at someone they hate, isn't it?

[rpgamerd00d]

44. Disagree. ALWAYS have a spokesman dish out a beatdown.

Never let them get YOU on tape saying it.

Politics 101.

[WildEyedLiberal]

49. Maybe because he's on the Senate floor talking about healthcare, dumbass

EVERY SINGLE SENATOR has their spokesman release comments for them, because -news flash - they can't be everywhere at once.

See, an "official spokesman" is - get ready for it - someone who OFFICIALLY SPEAKS on behalf of someone else. In other words, if David Wade releases it, it has Kerry's official imprimatur. Is that simple enough for you to understand?

Go away.

[spanone]

45. Tell it like it is, John. She is using her 'sexuality' to sell her book.

plain & simple.

[bcoylepa]

46. touche!

Mary Cheney cannot have it both ways - proud and out and proud of this administration
separate your family from the policies Mary and take the rose colored glasses off
Kerry is absolutely right to call her on her hypocrisy - the GOP used her sexual orientation - they tried to make people afraid of her -and it worked

Recently, Vice President Gore said in a speech to the Human Rights Campaign Organization that, “Any force that tries to make you feel shame for being who you are, and loving who you love, is a form of tyranny over your mind. And it must be rejected, resisted, and defeated.”
Kerry is rejecting resisting and working on defeating this discrimination
What are you doing Mary???

[karynnj]

47. Nice post - good Gore quote

Kerry's comment when he mentioned Cheney was incredibly kind and suportive as well - starting that they are God's children. Mary would have to look hard for genuinely supportive Republican comments - and it would be hard to find a Democrat who hasn't made a suppotive comment.

[ComerPerro]

50. LMAO, that's dead on

[seabeyond]

52. kerry said he learned. this is what he learned. everytime repug puts

crap out, rebut.....

he has been doing it consistantly. good for him. another reason why i want kerry to run.

firstly because i think he won anyway
secondly i think he would be great
third i love what he is talking about doing
fourth there is nothing for them to bash him with
fifth a new person would be spending time addressing all the new stuff to bash him with

but

pertaining to this, kerry already has it down, to attack the attacks
