How come Tweety didn't complain about the Swift boat liars
taking Kerry's speech out of context in their new ad. Tweety never even mentioned that. And it was so obvious.

5. Didn't catch him last night but
Overall, I'll take the 99% of the things he's doing right these days, and don't mind overlooking the 1% he doesn't do such as this.

2. He showed it.
Chris played the ad then right after that played the entire piece where all those words came from. It was very obvious that the swift jerks picked their words in order to have the most impact. He did a good job showing how they manipulated his testimony.

People are seeing those liars for what they are.

4. You have a point there.
But, it seemed to me he could have really made more of it.

6. The second ad is not as big a deal as they're hoping, I think
It's not news. If the charges in the first smear were true, they would be new information. The second ad is just beating a dead horse. Of course they'll take things out of context. Remember the photoshop job of juxtaposing Kerry with Fonda? But none of this is news. None of his testimony or anti-war activities are seriously in dispute. You either approve, forgive or accept it or you don't. There is no reason for anyone to get worked up about this run of ads.

7. Everytime one of the wingnutz mention Kerry's testimony to
congress back in the war they leave out the fact that he wasn't accusing anyone but merely repeating what had be testified to at the Winter Soldier hearings.

I belive this is mostly because most rwing nutz are morons that get all their 'facts' from douchebags like Rush and don't actually know the 'facts'.
