Edwards Slams Bush Campaign's Ad 'Lies'

MANCHESTER, N.H. - John Edwards (news - web sites) accused President Bush (news - web sites)'s re-election campaign of lying in television ads about John Kerry (news - web sites)'s Vietnam War service and his plan to reform health care.

"They will absolutely lie about anything," the Democratic vice presidential candidate said Monday at a rally in Victory Park attended by hundreds of well-wishers.

Is it just me, or does Edwards hardly get any press? I mean, I would think this would be big. He called Bush a liar. They (the mainstream media) are really afraid of giving Edwards play.

Kerry's going to call Bush a liar at the debats and then back it up w/ facts. Just watch.

1. well.... it's the truth...plenty of facts to back that up

[seventhson]

2. I pray he calls him a Liar AND a Nazi

we know Bush is BOTH!

3. YaY - more good news!

[Rambis]

5. Edwards uses the word lie in every speech he makes

He is calling a spade a spade. They are lying about most everything and they need to be held accountable for it.

[molly]

6. That will be a great debate too

[merh]

4. It isn't just you - Edwards gets very little press time by

the mainstream media. Local stations do cover their appearances.

About time someone said the obvious about these criminals.

[zaj]

9. That's the Kerry campaign's media strategy; only give interviews to local

... media.


I'm not sure it's a good idea, but it's what they seem to be doing.

[merh]

12. Wrong - Edwards has given interviews to Larry King

Kerry & Edwards gave to Larry King - Kerry is giving an interview to Diane Sawyer that will air tomorrow on GMA - They have been interviewed by 60 minutes.

It is not the campaign - it is the media -- if you get that straight and stop blaming the campaign and release the hurdles it is up against (posed by the media) then you will work harder to get out the word.

7. Now if only I and the rest of the country could take Edwards at face value

when Edwards claims he is going to get those big bad terrorists. 100% loyal Dem, but when Edwards starts talking about terrorism, it just rings hallow.

14. "Hallow"?

I still don't understand why Edwards is so unpopular with the Chicage theater production grad student crowd.

[gratuitous]

8. Hit it hard, hit it repeatedly, hit it one more time

"They will absolutely lie about anything."

"They will say anything to get elected."

"They have threatened people who won't vote for them."

"They can't distinguish the truth from their lies anymore."

"They've lied to themselves so much they are incapable of telling the truth anymore."

"Their lies have trapped them, and now they serve those lies, not the American people."

11. Jefferson's admonition to Bush

"By oft repeating an untruth, men come to believe it themselves." --Thomas Jefferson to John Melish, 1813

"It is of great importance to set a resolution not to be shaken, never to tell an untruth. There is no vice so mean, so pitiful, so contemptible; and he who permits himself to tell a lie once finds it much easier to do it a second and third time, till at length it becomes habitual; he tells lies without attending to it, and truths without the world's believing him. This falsehood of the tongue leads to that of the heart, and in time depraves all its good dispositions." --Thomas Jefferson to Peter Carr

10. If *'s attacks are false they are lies. What else is Edwards to call them?

:shrug:

[AP]

13. Lot's of Republicans voted for Bush because of Cheney. If press is afraid

to cover Edwards, the silver lining to that cloud is that they can't justify reporting on Cheney, which means a lot of Republicans might lose their one compelling reason to vote for Bush.

Having said that, I hate the fucking media for not giving Edwards his due.

And it's BULLSHIT that the media makes the excuse, "well, he's going to small towns."

Don't they have electricity in small towns? Koby's fucking trial was in a small town and it didn't stop the media from going there. If a baby falls down a well in a small town, the media will go there. They just don't like the small towns when there's a Democrat in that small town who's giving small towns a chance at a better America.

15. Need all Surrogates echoing the LIAR, LIAR theme. I folks believe Bush

Ads, Kerry is toast.

Taken together, Ads from Bush and his "independent" smear-mongers,
totally outslime Ads from Kerry and his allies.

[Bandit]

16. Well they would never lie about "Lump in the Bed"

D'oh.......Here is our mission. find something they haven't LIED about. I know it sounds impossible but there must be something......Maybe not.. :shrug:

[jmowreader]

17. He didn't lie about cutting taxes

Bush, as we are all aware, thinks Tax Cuts are the solution to everything.

They were definitely the solution to the burning question "what are we going to do with the Massive Clinton Surplus?" Now we don't have that problem.
