New Proof That The Wingnut "Lonely Kerry" Story Is Bogus

By Greg Sargent | bio

It looks as if another wingnut tall-tale is going to go down in flames today: The story of the "lonely Kerry" photo.

For days and days now, the following photo of Senator John Kerry has been making the rounds in the conservative blogosphere:

See article and photo:
http://www.tpmcafe.com/blog/electioncentral/2007/jan/05...

This photo has been triumphantly pointed to by conservative bloggers who claim that it shows that Kerry was "snubbed" by the troops during a recent visit to Iraq. This story was aggressively promoted by Powerline Blog's John Hinderaker and Scot Johnson, Michelle Malkin, Charles Johnson of Little Green Footballs, and many others. To the wingers this photo demonstrated, in the words of Malkin, that "lonely John Kerry" had been "spurned by the troops in Iraq."

The wingers spent many, many hours on this photo, trying to prove its authenticity. I'm not going to dispute that it's authentic. Rather, I'm here to report that I've now contacted at least two people who say they were at the table with Kerry. And it's clear that the winger characterization of the photo is entirely bogus.

More of a rant, but I needed to say it.

But the above links are the final nails in this lame smear's coffin.
