CNN Crossfire topic today: "Did KERRY go too far?!!?"

[Sparkly]

Excuse me? They're asking, "Did KERRY go too far?"!!

The rightwing smearmongers trashed his military service, his honor, and the credibility of the US Navy, and they're asking, "Did KERRY go too far?"!!!

The Chimp in Chief refused to denounce the SmearVets even after Kerry denounced the MoveOn Ads, showing that he's using the SmearVets to do his dirty work, Kerry calls him on it, and they're asking, "Did KERRY go too far?!"!!!!

What is WRONG with CNN!??!??!??

7. I went to their website

and found out that this question will be debated by Mike Pence(R) and Al Wynn (D). Anyone know Al Wynn, who's speaking for our side? I say we hit them with a few choice e-mails answering their "question" before the show starts.

11. Albert R. Wynn

Congressman Albert R. Wynn represents the 4th Congressional District of Maryland, which includes parts of Prince George's and Montgomery Counties. He defines his mission in Congress as helping to expand economic opportunity for all Americans.

Elected in 1992, Rep.

During the 105th Congress, Wynn successfully passed legislation to improve federal contracting opportunities for small and minority businesses. Recently, during the 107th Congress, Wynn introduced additional contracting legislation. As a result of his many efforts on behalf of small businesses, for the second time, he received the Small Business Administration Administrator s Leadership Award.

12. Great!

Impressive. I hope he's up on the swiftboat liars and can really blow them out of the water!:)

[maine_raptor]

13. Ok.....Now

Whose the Repug? Let's hope he follows the Bush line right down to a few "Ummms, er" and an inability to say the word "nuclear".

[kentuck]

14. Pence will someday be a Senator from Indiana ....

Comes across as a moderate, likeable person...

[Reciprocity]

16. Thanks for posting the pic. Now I remember him. n/t

[lunarboy13]

15. Yeah...but the Bush Camp doesn't like this topic one bit...

The one thing I hated about the Swiftboat jerks was that their lies got to be played over and over and over by the media, even while some were in the process of debunking it. The coverage of ad campaigns is what truly gives these things a life of their own.

Now the Sh*tboats had their lies refuted and debunked and so their sh*tboats are now in the process of sinking. Kerry's comments, however, are truthful, which, under the scrutiny of pundits, will grow legs and run for a while. I love the fact that people want to debate what he said because in doing so, they have to keep airing what he said. This story will hopefully run right up to the GOP convention and will be lingering in the background during the whole thing...

No, Karl Rove wants this thing to die fast, without coverage...And it just isn't going to happen.
