No Free Lunch for Kerry (internet and TV ad lies hurting Kerry)

Hartinger showed me a copy of an e-mail from some dark conspiracy wing-nut corner of the Internet, an e-mail that has been passing around the bar.

"BEWARE OF MRS. JOHN KERRY," it said, detailing how Kerry's foreign-born wife, Teresa, seized the Heinz fortune and uses it to support radicals and international terrorists. This is a well-worn calumny: The would-be First Lady of This Great Land is a foreign Pickle Baroness who supports terror. And I am Norm Coleman's love child.

But just because it's wacko doesn't mean it isn't working.

"I'd think Kerry would have quite a lawsuit if it isn't true," said Hartinger, 46. "Your wife influences you, doesn't she? And my wife influences me. Why should Kerry be any different? All I know is that the guys at the bar read this, and they get real mad. Hamas is in there -- it says she supports Hamas. I'm sorry, but whether it's true or not, it doesn't look good."

2. That letter is from before

the swift liars. I got a copy from my mom's friend a while back. I think the outrageous misspellings and grammar mistakes are to hide the fact that it was written by Karl Rove.

5. Doncha just love the "freeper sleeper" types....

1) Low post counts
2) No profile
3) And even though they don't say anything negative themselves, they sure find all kinds of dispariging things to post. Nothing positive. Everything negative, even if it is nice negative.
